Re:Poll: Which RSS reader have you switched to?
on Tuesday June 18, 2013 @12:00PM (#5900042)
I tried feedly, but I'm not very used to it.
I also tried newsblur, the website is very slow, the iphone app seems to be buggy.
I'm waiting for digg now. Otherwise, I will build something myself.

I develop ios apps. I need mac os.
There are many user experience issues in linux.
Re:Is Android development tougher as compared to iOS development
on Thursday June 13, 2013 @10:10AM (#5874092)
yes, it is.
I started with Android (because I don't need to pay for developer membership), but I hate it very much.
Eclipse is very shitty IDE. So many bugs, so slow, so not user friendly.

Re:Have you settled on a Google Reader replacement?
on Tuesday June 04, 2013 @12:45PM (#5820534)
I tried newsblur, the web ui is too noisy, the iphone version doesn't load anything.
feedly ui has too much distraction too. I just need the content, I don't want to see the decoration and stuff.
Re:Ask HN: Is it still good to start with ios apps development?
on Saturday June 01, 2013 @11:32AM (#5804354)
I released my ios app a week ago (http://pixelhali.de), only about 1300 downloads so far.
few years ago, A friend and I released an app to the android store, we got 130k within one month.
it looks to me that the app market is kinda saturated.

easy to repro -> courage
hard to repro/intermittent -> fear

If the frame can support prescription lenses (I wear glasses anyway), and if the price is around 300, I might get one.
I want to start to program for it early (The thing is that I really don't like android developing experience).

giving them h1b is not because they are the brightest, it's because there are not enough equally good workers for the industry.

I think his study is biased if you check out his personal website: http://heather.cs.ucdavis.edu/matloff.html
He is a longtime anti-h1b activist.

This is a C++ web framework I wrote. It's a work in progress. I could beat go and nodejs in some simple perf test.

Re:How H-1B Visas Are Screwing Tech Workers
on Friday February 22, 2013 @11:01AM (#5264860)
My team has 4 job openings. The only two candidates who could pass our phone screen are not U.S. citizens.
One is from Russia, who didn't get the visa for on-site interview.
America seems to be very harsh to legal immigrants, but pretty nice to illegal immigrants.
I think it's good for a country to import some competition. After all, h1b has a 60000 cap each year, that's not too many people.

Re:Ask HN: Majored in Chemistry, should I go back and get a CS degree?
on Wednesday January 30, 2013 @11:14PM (#5143403)
Maybe you can apply for a CS master's program.
There are interdiscipline researches, so called computational chemistry. you use computer to simulate chemical reactions, protein structure... I guess a professor in this area is willing to accept students with chemistry background who can also program. But you need to make sure the program is in CS, not in Chem.
There is also computational biology. simulating Cell division
for example. i guess it's full of chemistry.

I always send my apk via email, and my friends will install it. what's the problem with that?
apk is a file, just like jpeg, mp3. rename it to whatever you like and then transfer.

It's not because of opengl or directx, it's because of the operating system layer.
Re:Show HN: P2P microblogging over Bluetooth to avoid government censo...
on Saturday January 26, 2013 @01:12PM (#5121123)
I think the app itself should be installable through bluetooth.
if another user doesn't have this app installed,
the app should be able to transfer its apk package to the user via bluetooth.
Re:Show HN: P2P microblogging over Bluetooth to avoid government censo...

this is very cool!, last year we had a same idea. but we didn't finish it.
at first, we decided to build a microblog which relies on geolocation to find nearby blogs. but the content is actually hosted on a server.
but later, we had more and more ideas added to the project, it got too huge, we eventually gave up.
Re:The Great Programming Language Continuum; or why C++ is dying
on Sunday January 20, 2013 @03:53PM (#5088184)
I completely disagree. C++ is not perfect, but it's evolving. I started my oo programing with java. I have used c#, go, obj c and many others. But I think C++ is still the best.

I hope there could be some ARM based cheap host service soon. some thing like linode, but on an ARM, not on virtual machine.
