I don't think there's anything that we can do besides spreading the word and taking it as a lesson for when this happens in EU.

"This document was created with a newer version of Sketch. Please upgrade to the latest version and try again."

I bloody hate this idiotic approach of licensing. I have Sketch 43 and because my license expired, I cannot upgrade to 44 and there is no backward compatibility between versions. Basically Sketch is forcing me to pump up yet another lump of money.

Re:Show HN: Artpip – 4k fine art for your desktop on Tuesday July 04, 2017 @10:08AM (#14695950)
My bad, I thought that it means to display my favourite artwork.
Re:Show HN: Artpip – 4k fine art for your desktop on Tuesday July 04, 2017 @08:32AM (#14695452)
By the way, the "add to favs" button should also be located directly into the menu bar dropdown. Right now if I want to mark a wallpaper as a favourite, I have to:

1. Click on the menu bar icon 2. Click on the "Show artpip" 3. Wait for the app to load 4. Click on the fav button.

Too many steps...

I have just installed it and I really love it! I think it's the first app that convinced me in less than 5 minutes to pay for the premium package. Keep up the good work.

Did anyone used or is using TransferWise? Is it any better than Paypal when it comes to send/receive amounts in different currencies?

Saving my passwords in the cloud? More than that, on a server managed by someone else? No thank you.

Will check into that, thanks!

Ask HN: How to teach a friend about programming?

I have a friend that wants to learn iOS programming in Swift and he asked for my help. He doesn't have any basic knowledge event about the fundamentals of programming so I really don't know how to create a roadmap for him. He want's to do it just for the fun of it, not for pursuing a job as a programmer. Just as a hobby. He's not young, he has a job so he can't spend more than one hour each day...

Oh my god the website looks awful. I usually don't say bad things about other people's work but in this case I can't ignore it. I mean if this is for real then the "team" behind it probably are in the same boat as their target: average unskilled blogger. My opinion is to shut it down and make it look decent if you really want to make a profit with it.

That was my first intention but I want to do something were I'm involved more rather than just a name written somewhere.

I have a basic knowledge of iOS development using Swift so let me know.

Ask HN: How can I help others?

Hey,I want to help others to achieve their goals. It can be a startup, a lonely developer, a young kid who just started playing around with various technologies..it doesn't matter. The only condition is that these goals must be something that add real value to our lives (so not fart apps).Because I'm not a rich person and I cannot jump in and invest, I'm looking for other ways to help.

Re:Ask HN: What TLD would you choose? on Friday September 04, 2015 @07:24AM (#10169755)
Thanks, I'll take a look.
Re:Ask HN: What TLD would you choose? on Friday September 04, 2015 @06:04AM (#10169546)
We're working on our product so it's not like we're waiting to decide upon the domain but I'm also very careful about the stigma that we Romanians (or Eastern Europeans) have.

However, you are right about failing because of the TLD.

Re:Ask HN: What TLD would you choose? on Friday September 04, 2015 @05:58AM (#10169523)
Unfortunately you are right and that was the main factor for buying the .io domain.

Thanks for your feedback. :)

Ask HN: What TLD would you choose?

Hi,I'm planning on launching a dev startup and I'm in serious doubts what TLD to use.I have two: - one with .io extension - one with .ro extension (I'm from Romania).io advantages: - geeky - internationally known amongst dev people.ro advantages: - great for national identityAny advices?

Re:Ask HN: Do you use an antivirus? on Tuesday August 25, 2015 @11:29AM (#10117149)
Mac user here: I'm using nod32 as AV and Backblaze for automatic backups. I'm also using an object storage on rackspace for storing random stuff and last but not least, I'm not going head first on any shady website or things like that.

Oh and also I'm not letting anyone on my computer unattended by me.

It doesn't matter if you have the best security solution because in the end, the human factor is the most vulnerable part of any computer.

Also found this, for those who are interested: "The Inmates Are Running the Asylum", by Alan Cooper: http://www.amazon.com/The-Inmates-Are-Running-Asylum/dp/0672...
Thanks, the first one looks extremely interesting.
