Re:Show HN: my database engine for GPU on Thursday January 26, 2012 @09:52AM (#3514340)
nvidia gpus only, right? does it work with ati as well? CUDA is probably more advanced, so it's no surprise.
well, i am very excited to learn about your project, i don't think i will be able to contribute anything valuable anytime soon, but i would love to test once it's released, specially since you mentioned Wayland!

Re:Android apps management architecture flaw? on Friday September 16, 2011 @06:58AM (#3003972)
there are many things that google could have done if time allowed, but the manufacturers needed something quickly to compete with Appl€. there's no other company or entity who could have made it better.

it's not fair to compare iOS and Android, it's not one device or even strictly controlled specs.

Re:Google App Engine leaves preview, new pricing on Wednesday August 31, 2011 @09:50PM (#2948331)
After I read the email from Google, I didn't think the impact would be huge on my small app that just started gaining users, but it was a little shock, I headed to HN to find out if other people are affected or my app was badly written. I think everyone is affected.

I will be moving my app, if anyone else likes to use a freelancer, please drop me a line: [email protected]

Motorola said they may go offensive against Android competitors, not other Android licensees; remember, it's appleinsider who's reporting.

Re:Ask HN: if you don't use Linux, why don't you? on Tuesday March 22, 2011 @10:33PM (#2357672)
I think the main reason is that there is so much going on in Ubuntu, or Linux in general, with every release. I really like to run the latest stuff, but 6-month cycle is not good for development machine, the updates sometimes break the system and I can't concentrate on my work, so the development system is a Mac, I have Ubuntu on other machines.
