You guys are so cool.

All my dreams are coming true. Great work guys.

Stop telling me what to do HN!

Oh man do I feel more and more pushed to upgrade our codebase to MVC4...

Right it's the average a single app makes that matters, the heavy hitters like Rovio can make up for your dime a dozen fart apps.

Well Apple's content (iTunes, App Store) exists mostly to move their hardware.

Compared to Amazon where the hardware exists to give users access to content.

Explains some of the price differences between the devices.

A few of the Bukkit developers were hired by Mojang to work on the official API.

Wait, there are other Microsoft developers?

This is the best js tutorial I've seen in a while

.net 3.0 goes into Java 8

No C# :(

This is hilarious.

I know you're leaning against it but I thought I'd say anyway that we use IRC for everything since it's easy to hook into from anywhere. We don't even use a full-fledged server, just a single file python script. There's plenty of options for graphical notifications and you can hook into from PHP if you want.

It's probably cheaper.

You're right it is objective however I should clarify.

The design is not really for some functional or business website, it's the equivalent of a business card, it just displays basic information. It's fashion related so image is important.

See above response.

We did not receive any response from them, I figure they get plenty of complaints about people's sites being blocked and ours just got lost in the mess.

Self teaching fundamentals is boring and not sexy. I'm self taught and I'll admit it took me a year of doing the fun stuff before I forced myself to go back and start to really understand the fundamentals of what I was doing. Turns out I now enjoy what I used to think was boring.

I think this is a fairly common experience.

Here's is my ONE issue with adblock.

We have a clothing recommendation engine that helps people discover clothes and we wanted to provide the service ad free. We chose a platform called viglink which affiliates the existing outbound links to the clothing vendors and if the user ends up purchasing something we are given a commission.

I think this is a fair model where we are compensated for our service and the user is 100% unaware and not bothered.

However, in the past month adblock has decided to block this despite the fact it provided zero nuisance to the end user. We managed to create work arounds but it's a frustrating issue.

It's not satire

Good to see some C# on HN

When you say not supported by default do you mean not supported when the user doesn't have a JRE installed?

I'm sure you do your own plumbing when your pipes have problems and fix your car when it breaks down. You probably even blow your own glass to repair a broken window, right?

Specialization is good, it helps society move forward, don't fight it.
