Re:Announcing Gogland – Brand New Go IDE from JetBrains on Thursday December 22, 2016 @01:14PM (#13239132)
An IDE for Go development! I had no idea they were even working on this. I'm going to download it right now.
You can send with an email now within the app. In fact, the genius of the idea is you only need either an email or phone number
I bet the additional friction of asking for an address means most people don't bother doing anything.

Look at how many people nowadays just send a Facebook Happy Birthday message instead of a real card. In fact, I bet there is even an autoresponder in IFTTT to help send auto birthday messages.

Who know's what is real nowadays.

If it only takes 4 clicks to send a real gift to thank someone (or wish them a Happy Christmas), then this little app might be easy enough to help more of us connect with our virtual friends

I do talk with my robot vacuum cleaner.
Well... These speakers are mobile. A smartphone is also mobile.

Some people just put the smartphone near the speaker and start the music.

Does anyone know more about the recent research into galactic cosmic rays? I believe the article has it completely wrong, but I'm not sure.

Ask HN: Techy with a basic MVP, how do I find a partner?

Hi,As I said in the title, I have a basic MVP for a product which I think is likely to be very valuable to many colleges and University. Ideally as a techy, I'd like someone with more of a business background to help with the sales, etc.I'm also not sure whether I should be going for funding. My understanding is that you should really only look for funding if you need it, but what does that...

Hello.

You make a lot of assumptions about me.

I'm not trying to whine, I saw a problem and I'm asking for help fixing that problem in return for my time and money. Also, I have a job.

Me and my girlfriend have a great relationship and I do everything I can to make sure she's happy.

I have a lot more than $5000 to show for it. That's is just what I have for a side project.

I don't fail at everything. I'm only 23, and I think I've achieved quite a lot for my age. I wouldn't say all of my ideas have failed, but I aim high and I feel like I'm failing overall.

Hello.

Both. I learnt to program at 15 when I taught myself PHP to set up an eCommerce site that could automatically create new voice server instances when a user placed an order. I guess you could say that was my first startup.

Since then I've worked with a few different companies on eCommerce sites doing a bit of everything including marketing. I have quite a lot of experience with SEO, pay-per-click and social media marketing. One of my failed startups was a social media marketing startup.

Thanks for asking.

I work as a web developer. I have been building eCommerce sites since I was 15~, I'm 23 now! I can do frond-end and back-end development, although I think I'm better at back-end development. I have good experience with HTML/CSS/Javascript, PHP/MySql, Java & Node.js. I also have some experience in building AI systems using ANNs, GAs, etc.

Hi.

Thanks for the advise and you're right, but this isn't my usual nightly routine. I took her out this weekend, like I do most weekends and I'm taking her away to Germany this summer - she wanted to go ever since I've known her. I'm not the perfect boyfriend, but I really do love my girlfriend and I do everything I can for her. Mine and her happiness comes first, period. The only reason I'm up tonight is because I wish I could give her more.

Hello.I've had enough.Hear me out. I've spent the last 5 years of my life slaving away on startups and new business ideas and I'm failing, bad. So tonight I've come to the conclusion that I clearly have no fucking idea what I'm doing. I've lost pretty much all my friends because of the time I've spent trying to make my ideas work. I have spent money I can't afford on ideas that have never came...
