Hey everyone, I just wanted to point out that the project behind making a Material Design-based operating system (http://quantum-os.github.io/) showed up in two posts over today and yesterday. I hope everyone notices…

For the past many years, Apple has released new iPods every other year... But this was the year for that to happen again, and for anyone who watched their Special Event, you know that didn't happen. Now, their iPod…

I was wondering if there is a good service/app/website for discovering apps that are newly released, are on a deal, or are truly interesting and new in nature (like the sort of thing you would find on producthunt.com).…

I was thinking that Steam is the go-to multi-platform game selling/publishing service, and that every major platform has it's own software publishing store (e.g. Mac App Store, Ubuntu Software Center). Yet, is there a…

I just recently noticed there was an update from skype, with various new features added. Of course, I decided to download the update, so I tapped on the "update" button. However, a message pops up saying "This Item has…

I know about Swift, O-C, C, C , and maybe even C# utilizing Unity for iOS, however, is it possible to write native iOS apps in even more languages? For instance, would there be a way to run Python or Ruby-based apps?

I just got a late 2011, 15-inch MacBook Pro from my older brother. I enjoy programming/developing a lot, so what apps should I get/install on the new system for developing and productivity?

I have approximately 1 hour of free time scheduled in during my very busy summer, and I'm wondering what sort of productive/programming/money-making thing(s) I should spend my time on? For instance, is that enough time…

I've heard about the great areas that developers have at places like Facebook/Google, but I was wondering if there's people who know of even better ones, or if purportedly "good" work conditions at places aren't so…

I have no idea if there's any possible way to gauge this, however, is it possible to get a rough estimate somehow?

I've just recently joined Hacker News and I think it is a great community, however there is one flaw. While browsing through the "Ask HN" section, I find nearing half of the entries to be "Show HN". I think there are so…

What is the best free IDE out there? Preferably ones that have multi-platform (especially Ubuntu) support, as well as multi-language support.

I signed up for the beta yesterday, using my developer Apple ID (non-paid). I was notified that I would be emailed a beta code when they were available, but how soon will that be? How are they rolling out the access…

Is there a chart out there that shows a list of major (and minor if possible) programming languages, their major uses, and if they still are actively used today?

I was wondering if there's a current way to tell (or if it's already been figured) how fast Swift is, to say, C. C is the primary language I'm interested in comparing it to, but it would be nice to have some sort of…

With the advent of Swift, will Apple quit developing Objective-C and faze it out all together over the next few years? Or will it be split off somehow and given further development?

I'm very curious to know if there's any way of finding out if dashboard has finally disappeared from OSX, or more like merged with the new notification center. The latter would be my guess, considering they did refer to…

I use Ubuntu and would really love to watch WWDC live, but it requires a Mac/Safari. Would there be any way to spoof that or something in order to watch it?

I've always been curious why certain characters (e.g. commas) haven't been allowed in the url. I've never seen one used in a specialized way at all, are they just nonexistent in usage? If so, why?
