Re:RxJava vs. Reactor on Sunday February 10, 2019 @11:43AM (#19128468)
I think one of the main advantages of RxJava is that the api is consistent across languages and platforms. Making it possible to switch between Android, Backend, and iOS without having to learn the caveats of a particularly framework. The debug & testing support looks really good so will check reactor out for some future project and see how it is.
Re: Google gets into game streaming with Project Stream on Monday October 01, 2018 @06:19PM (#18117296)
Seems similar to me, I've been exclusively using geforce now for the past 6 months. Works extremely well if you're just a casual gamer with no dedicated gaming computer (I'm playing on my Mac). I'm curious to see how it stacks up against it and what the price of it would be
The videos are mostly of my daily life, it can be friends & family, things that inspired me that day, or even something as simple as enjoying a coffee in the sun. Some days it can be just a screen of code, or a routine task. However the main idea for me is to find a moment a day that I'm more mindful about.

Initially I used 1 second every day app to do this, but have since a few years created my own app for it (https://www.leapsecond.co). Here's an example video from 2016 https://youtu.be/CBstXlmy35k

I've been recording a video a day (1 second), it makes me be more conscious about finding something meaningful every day, and watching the result at the end of the year is really rewarding.
Re:Ask HN: What was your best passive income in 2017? on Wednesday April 11, 2018 @07:14PM (#16816648)
iOS app “Leap Second” made about 2k a month last year this year 5-10k. Required some initial upfront work to create the app but since then Ive been putting in about 2h per week.
That's true, it does take time. Interviewing for larger companies at least in the US is usually 1 day onsite. Would you expect to get paid for that as well? In the end however you do it you'll have to spend a few hours interviewing.
Yes I agree, but this is not about working for 3 months unpaid, this is about a coding interview: https://github.com/surya-soft/Interview/issues/2

This is a completely different company than the original post mentioned.

I think for an interview, it's a reasonable alternative instead of doing an 1-2h long coding interview. You have to interview people in some way, and a small coding project that you can discuss and talk about has been a nice experience for me. How do you want an interview to be conducted?
What's "exploitative" about this? It's a simple coding project that would just takes a few hours.
Re:Try quickly typing 1+ 2 + 3 into the iOS 11 Calculator on Tuesday October 24, 2017 @08:02AM (#15540923)
I just tested this and it does animate (a brief flash). This is on iOS 11, so maybe you have a different version?
Re:When Citi Bikes Are Faster Than Taxis in New York City on Tuesday September 26, 2017 @10:49AM (#15339130)
Been biking in both Los Angeles & New York as my commute. In LA driving took 1-2h while biking took 1h. In my experience it's been faster for my commute, however there's still many days where there are no bikes where I live (UWS).

I can highly recommend trying out the Citi bike if you live in New York, it's so cheap and many of the companies pays for it.

Haven't added any ads. Just In App Purchases to unlock some more advance features.
Thanks for the kind words!
I've been working on my app Leap Second, it generates somewhere around 1-3k per month. https://www.leapsecond.co

I created the app after using 1 Second Everyday crashed on me and deleted a few years videos. The app stores everything in the Photos app which made it very fast and easy to develop (a weekend). Now I spend a few hours a month mostly improving the UI and doing bug fixes as I find them. Initial traction was very slow as I didn't do any marketing. I started using App Store ads and it gave me a good help of getting small user base that could grow on it's own.

Looks like a great resource. Thanks for making it!

The mobile experience could use some more polishing. Mainly the company pages are having issues on mobile.
