Well, if you're already at the grocery store, you probably have a shopping list and a pre-filled box isn't what you're there for.

I'd say it's more like: "HTML is getting closer to what is possible with Flex, so we have to concentrate on that. Flex will thrive as much as the community wants it to. If the community wants it, it will develop it further, if not - why should we?"

It's not about multiple users using the same device. It's about calling a contact with the card of her respective carrier in order to reduce the bill. Making a call inside the carrier's network is almost always free with the cheapest plans.

Re:Apple’s Next Greedy Move: Exclusivity

Well, for a lot of apps exclusivity, will mean that everyone else could do a clone of the app for another platform, but not you yourself. Which would mean that you can do it too, only under a different name.

As a Bulgarian living in Bulgaria I can say that what your friend has told you about fishmarkets is not true. Maybe it has been at some point, but it must be twenty years since.
Re:Design patterns have (mostly) flopped

Agree. Actually design patterns are really good to apply at refactoring time. You often cannot foresee what problems you will be facing and how your code will evolve in order to start trying to stuff in all the patterns you are familiar with. Write code -> see a problem -> identify a possible pattern -> refactor accordingly. This is also learning design patterns by doing.
Re:Ask HN: Which vitamin supplements do you take?

My candidate-mother-in-law (as she likes to call herself) says artificial vitamins are bad. Vitamins and minerals in the form of pills get fully absorbed by the body, even if they are not needed in such big quantities at the moment.
Examples: If you bring more calcium in the body it can subside in kydneys in the form of sand-particles.
If you bring more vitamin D into the body, the body starts to pull out calcium from the bones and sends it to the kidneys and to the heart-muscle.
She's a pediatrician and а homoeopath and feeds us (my girlfriend and me) with blue-green-algae additives, because they contain all the stuff in it's natural form, so the organism can take whatever it needs out of it and excrete the rest.
Her supplier of choice is AquaSource (a multi-level-marketing company), but there are many other companies that offer similar stuff.
Sorry for my ("medical") english, had a gard time translating it from my native language.
