Don't use assembly, period. I can make things go more than 10 times faster in assembly. My main job is as manager/entrepreneur but I could read-write assembly as a result of my experience and I help-guide other people…
I wouldn't call it "investment money". Have you seen the graphs going down(tech bubble burst 2001 and 2008). I will call it "Money press printing money", or "let's save those that make poor decisions in the past so they…
Am I the only one that looking at what the kids are doing in the pictures consider it totally normal? In Spain we used to do way more dangerous things than those. And it was risky, one of our friends died in the river…
Not the main problem by far. I had backed hundreds of projects. Next year I would make a thousand or so. How many scams I got into? Zero. It is pretty easy to spot who is serious and who is not, who will deliver and who…
Well, one of the reasons we hear a lot about VR, like 3d printing is that key patents have expired. What are they going to patent? Having a gyroscope in your head? A screen attached to your eyes? low persistence…
It is creepy to have a company know: Your sexual habits. Haw many partners you have , how, where, when you have sex with them. Facebook and google log your mobile phone GPS coords. Your political views. What your…
I agree with your analysis. In my opinion, everything that facebook says is true, today, but could be different tomorrow. Like a marriage, when you are young and life is good is very different from when you get older,…
Me too. We created a group for competing breaking protections on commercial programs. It was more than patching things with NOPs(), but correcting checksums and so on. We never released the programs once without…
It seems bureaucracy has come to HN. I personally won't follow the new rules. I prefer not to comment anymore. I was one of the early users of HN, this alone made me have enormous karma and influence out of nothing. I…
"Imagine for a moment you could colonize space. What problem would that solve, really? " Very interesting. Do you realize that people said exactly those same words about the microscope? They said : What problem would…
"All it takes is a miswired socket, earth fault or short in a power supply and you've got 110-240v going up your arm and you're dead. " It seems to me that you are not a qualified electrical engineer. Those three words…
The intrinsic value of gold is very big: It is one of the very few metals that do not oxide in normal conditions, this makes : Any metal very good electrical contact: just putting a single layer of gold over any metal…
Yeah, given that they have most of the code already done for drawing the browser screen(text, buttons, icons...), it probably makes sense for them to do so. With Qt they will depend on a different company with different…
I am not Indian, but from a European country, and I had lots of things in common with this person when I created my start up. When you want to change the world, nobody understands you. Then suddenly things start…
"Are there any ways by which I could motivate myself to study more?" You told us, the answer is no. You already dedicate your time to programming, because you need it. I also needed it when I was your age. In my case I…
Do you realize that this talks more about yourself than about other people? I watched the entire video and not a single sexual thought came out out it, far from it, just the thought that it could be useful for my kids.…
And protesters being shot in Ukraine seems kinda trivial when you consider what is happening on Syria, Iraq, or in lots of African countries. Here we have(Spain) a refugee from Africa that was forced to kill his parents…

"I firmly believe that the financial sector is nothing more than a thief." Then, why do you use their services? If your financial advisor does not provide value to you you could fire him. "Can anyone tell me a way to…
Saying that intelligence, fitness or any other quality does not matter is living in the future, in an alternate universe. Probably it won't matter in the future, but it matters today. Probably in the future it won't…
When someone does not create a confrontation scene, it does not mean that he approves... Only a very small minority of people will actually come and break your glasses, so yes, you can get away with it being a…
Well, this is not news at all. Americans used to consume 8 kilos of butter a year 40 years ago and lots of other fats too. Now they consume much less fat(but low quality like palm oil), much more sugar, and they are…

Giving the inflation levels of the years in between, I wont say they have grown so much.
Well, in my opinion web programming and native are blending together. The web approaches native, with asm.js and webgl. It is not just a document anymore. Native approaches web, just look at what Apple, or Dropbox are…
