Re:We Ran Out of IPv4 Addresses on Thursday December 11, 2025 @07:47PM (#46239523)
IPv6 provides 340 undecillion addresses (3.4 × 10³⁸). If we assigned a billion addresses every second, it would take 10 billion years to exhaust the supply. The sun will burn out first.

Foods types have different hormonal impact on our bodies. Lots of variables at play. So if you eat pure fat vs. protein vs. carbs you are going to get different outcomes in the body.
Re:So Microsoft Is Leading in Advancing JavaScript (see Edge 14) on Monday April 18, 2016 @11:47PM (#11524743)
I've been keeping a close eye on who is implementing features in the "Next" tab and today I was surprised to see Microsoft's Edge 14 be the earliest to have their column start to turn green

Show HN: I made a desktop Mac App Store app for fun

Posted by kirkouimet on Thursday August 27, 2015 @11:30AM
from the show-hn dept.

So I made a Mac OS X app for fun with a couple of friends:Graphical Network Monitor https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/graphical-network-monitor/id1002978158?ls=1&mt=12The idea was inspired from the website I wrote in my college networking class, yougetsignal.com.

Re:Revenue and Sales Stats for My Desktop App Side Project on Wednesday July 23, 2014 @10:56PM (#8078027)
Looking for some feedback from the Hacker News community! I feel pretty lucky to have a side project making over $4K a year out of the gate and I am wondering if there is anything I can do to squeeze more out of it.
Re:Show HN: Am I late to the game? Just launched my C++ app for Windows on Wednesday June 25, 2014 @08:29PM (#7947530)
Yeah I was just looking into this this morning - who do you recommend I use for code signing?
Re:Show HN: A New Approach to RSS (Our iOS App Was Approved Today) on Wednesday May 28, 2014 @11:34AM (#7810771)
Thanks for the feedback (and for your time to download the app and to try it out)! Here is what we are thinking:

1. Make sure people like our approach to RSS (market validation)

2. Make the web client amazing (browse.im)

3. Make an Android app

4. Make a Mac OS X app

5. Make a Windows 8 app

Right now the experience is very much iPad/iPhone only. We have a prototype web reader available here: http://browse.im/browse

Being a heavy RSS user - how do you feel about the approach to RSS we have taken in the app? Do you like seeing original content and jumping from full story to full story? Any usability feedback at this point is super helpful.

Thanks again!
