Great idea, and so very obvious in hindsight.

I wish them luck. No, really.

The pragmatic call is, wait until you need to scale, if at all.
Re:Does it make sense to build for iOS or Android first? on Tuesday May 22, 2012 @05:21PM (#4010071)
Totally iOS. (1) Non-trivial Android development is much more difficult due to fragmentation and random bugs, (2) in AppStore, your chances of at least breaking even are way higher than in Google Play.

Re:Ask HN: What music makes you a productive programmer? on Thursday May 03, 2012 @02:27AM (#3922643)
Mostly metal and/or japanese otokei doujin (like IOSYS).

And yes, listening to the same thing puts me in likely the same mood.

Re:Is Python inch deep and kilometre wide : Web dev on Tuesday May 01, 2012 @06:58AM (#3913744)
I totally disagree with your peers, Django is very well suited for larger apps.

As for guides, I cannot recommend something specific. Take a look at the docs, they had nice tutorial last time I checked.

Since you're on Hacker News, I believe in your ability to search the web (using Google or otherwise).

> defensively protecting themselves

Not everyone agrees with your point of view, to say the least:

http://www.fosspatents.com/2012/02/after-apple-microsoft-als... http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/04/03/eu-opens-two-antitrust...

"You have to play by their rules, which are really restrictive."

Applies to Google just as well. The more they talk, the more disrespect they earn, seriously.

When Android companies like HTC, Samsung were on a losing side of patent litigations, Google claimed "patents are wrong, hurt innovation" -- and look at the very same people squeezing every last dollar out of their patent portfolio now, when they have some.

Announcing Google+? "Sharing on the web is broken". Yeah, right.

Now this, too. IMO Google poses much more substantial threat to the Interwebs than Apple, while also being 20% more assholes.

Re:Ask HN: Any hackers in the Middle East? on Sunday April 08, 2012 @09:40AM (#3813803)
Well, I'm in the Middle East right now, and I'm (kinda) hacker. Does this answer your question, I don't know.

Not yet, but I'm considering it (== too lazy to implement).

Don't know if this is the best home page, but I have this: http://cl.ly/012B0V3C2P2Y2L1v101I

Currently active projects with links to admin site, stats etc.

Cannot deny the truth, can you?

Also, HN is no place for politics, but I cannot downvote (yet).

Egor, keep up with the good work. Not your fault Rails guys are overly self-confident.
Re:Hacked: commit to rails master on GitHub on Sunday March 04, 2012 @04:03PM (#3663980)
IMO this attitude of GitHub is the best motivation to sell 0day exploits in private instead of ever trying to get dev's attention.

No, I mean really, "malicious attack". I can't help but laugh, he committed 3 lines of text grand total, this is what you call malicious? Seriously, WTF.

The guy is a proper white-hat hacker, even if somewhat childish, Y U ban him.

Re:Ask HN: How do you like your programming editor? on Saturday March 03, 2012 @03:04PM (#3660977)
Totally agree.
Re:The Hacker Network - need feedback on Thursday March 01, 2012 @07:21PM (#3654795)
I think you forgot the GitHub link :)

Also I love the idea of distributed and fully dynamic network, I think there was some project like that in the past. They built distributed imageboard modeled loosely after 4chan, which was actively used by 1,5 people grand total.

Make one for iPhone & iPad, in terms of value-for-money this is much better than marketing Android-only app.
