Good place to ask this -- Whose gitconfigs do you look at for stealing ideas?
Ask HN: Cross platform mobile and web development
I think this discussion will be helpful for many of us:Say you have to build a computationally simple, but highly polished app. Say an app like "The Weather Channel" app. And you want to keep your business logic consistent across platforms (iOS, Android, Web) over the multiple versions of the app. Otherwise, over time, the app starts behaving slightly differently on different platforms.You can...

Yeah doing better than random is more of my wish than anything based on facts. Now that I think about it, considering the population that self selects itself out of politics in India, maybe random selection of a candidate from all of the population may do better than what we have currently.

I agree that democracy is arguably just better than other alternatives. Nothing more. However I can't be happy about a candidate just because they are at least not a clown. Yes, they may do a good job. But that's as good as randomly choosing a candidate and hoping that they do a good job, right? We can surely do better than that.

Yeah cynical is perhaps the right word. As an Indian, I won't be shocked if people voted for this candidate just because it would be funny.

I'm sorry, but my main take away from the discussion wasn't about the LGBT community at all. It was that India is still not ready for democracy. A candidate decides to try out this election thing without any agenda and plans, and they win without any reason. They don't even know why they won and what they can really do for the community. Giving government jobs to beggars isn't a plan. And I'm saying this as an Indian.

I've already seen a high level post about how Dropbox does cross-platform development [1], but I think they don't go in details about the kind of issues one might face going with that approach.

Let me disagree with others. As the same version control is used by the entire team in most cases, if Andy is doing any work with others, what others use and prefer (git most likely) would influence what he should try to get proficient at.
Ask HN: Cross-platform mobile app development
With the announcement of the Visual Studio Community Edition and Android Emulator, I think many of us who currently build iOS and Android versions of their apps in completely separate code-bases (Objective-C & Java) would be interested in learning from the experiences of those of you who have tried to write cross-platform native apps for iOS & Android or share most of the application...

That makes absolutely no sense to me. If I get an offer from a bank that $200 is available to me if I open a checking account with them, then do I have to report it as income even if I don't open an account or perform any action to go after it?
