These comments are everything from eliminating passwords (good luck) to “congress should fix it with law” (lol). Having been in the identity space for a while and seen how various companies think abou…

As someone who's had to work through the implications of GDPR lately, I think the future of user data is that you can't keep the option to "process it in new ways" later. Permissio…

I got excited about the headline, because I whole-heartedly agree with the statement, but then the author’s answer was to reinvent HTML with doodads. I was hoping this would be a call for a higher ord…

Bruce Schneier has also written on this with Blizzard: https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2005/10/blizzard_ente... It's not a new topic, and not one with …

This is a bit out of left field, but since the height of Farmville I've argued that Facebook should offer cloud services. I know these days everyone wants you to build on their cloud and it'…

What I think a lot of the comments are missing is that, sure, a strong GitHub profile can be a positive signal for hiring, but an inactive GitHub profile is not a negative signal. So no one should be …

This got me wondering if Matt's Script Archive was still around and lo and behold: http://www.scriptarchive.com/ Making interactive forms and CGIs was where I really started gett…

That said, I should follow up by saying...we recently did an assessment and determined it wasn’t yet worth the time to refactor our ObjC apps into Swift apps. We’ll probably wait for Swift 5 and reeva…

All the junior mobile engineers I’m interviewing now are learning iOS development on Swift. Junior engineers are probably the most pragmatic programmers on the planet. When they’re choosing to learn S…

That was my stance, as well, especially after trying some of the early Oculus demos. I was converted the first time I played a game where I really had to aim a gun and reload it by grabbing a new clip…

Well done! We built something similar at my company for the same purposes. This functionality is powerful for any team that wants easier data access for casual SQL users.

That was my thought. Peter has a history of big ideas that have a hard time translating into final products. Those kinds of minds are integral to a great product, but past a certain point it can also …

I've seen this pattern as engineer and as an engineering director. You can always put the blame for these things on leadership's inability to make decisions. Too much time is spent in the th…

Why is it when Apple does this to an app for the same reasons, it's ok? I suspect their announcement was a copy/paste of Apple's Kindle app rejection on the app store (when it included …

Whether or not Carmack did anything wrong is beside the point. It's a long road in court to determining that, and Oculus doesn't want to be spending any time in a law suit when it's try…

Honestly, the details in something like this don't matter. ZeniMax is betting on Oculus not wanting a spurious legal claim holding up the closing of the Facebook deal. Oculus leaders don't r…

I don't think the goal of this is to hide legitimate uses of the dev tools. As many have mentioned, it's really easy to circumvent. It's to shut down an attack vector.

Statistically speaking, the interpretation of the regression is "there is no correlation between the duration of financial runway and a startup's exit valuation." It could be whether or…

Seeing engineers in leadership positions (and being one myself), I've learned you can't use this kind of language when you're in a position of power and respect. It doesn't end deb…

I still remember how social media revolutionized the tech scene in San Diego, where everyone is spread out and can't mingle that often. Instead of monthly meetups where people kept asking "what have y…

Pssst. All of Gargoyles is online now. http://video.disney.com/shows/gargoyles-4ba34a5545c1259e961b...

INCEPTION

Not trying to troll, but doesn't this all boil down to DRM? Why not simply create a DRM-enabled jpeg format that mobile devices support and be done with it?

Sure, but when can I fund this on kickstarter?

We use DRF 1 for all our APIs. Very excited to give DRF 2 a whirl.

The answer to your question is in a previous HN link: http://raganwald.posterous.com/i-dont-hire-unlucky-people Say you have 50 people, all of whom are capable of doing the job. You have to whittle …

"Truth will out." I didn't know anything about Fez or its history going into that film, but I think it did a good job implying how many people could have issues working with that guy. I didn't imagine…
