The source files are exclusively Sketch, and Photoshop/PSD is absent. The UI design community has been shifting for more than a year, Apple started releasing UI templates in Sketch in addition to Photoshop in 2015 — Google even earlier.

Illustrator is still highly relevant for its strength, vector based work, while Sketch has surpassed Photoshop for UI.

The momentum is only increasing, even with bugs and issues found in Sketch. It's obvious the interface design community desires better tools. I wonder if Adobe Comet stands a chance with disruption we're seeing?

Drove back from Brooklyn last night after celebrating my friend's 40th at Arrogant Swine, and then I wake up to see this on hacker news. Crazy.

This restuarant appears out of nowhere in Bushwick/warehouse district. Being a North Carolina native I was a huge skeptic walking in. Mr. Ho has an NC (and SC) flag on the wall, usually not a symbol of pride outside the state (even for me), but in the case of BBQ it's respectable and makes a statement to anyone who know's anything about pulled-pork BBQ.

If you're ever in Brooklyn, definitely check it out. There's something to be said about eating, drinking, and enjoying the vision of an entrepreneur. Impossible to do with your stereotypcial start-up.

PayPal was a steal.

In auctions like these the highest bidder will never follow through with payment. Unless this is some exceptional case. They are also fueled by shill bids. The bidder's account will be flagged for non-payment, and due to the priced nature of the breach of contract the account would then be closed permanently.

what happens to fresh food and preservatives if you're not home?

Google acquired an extremely talented team.

When I saw the headline, I immediately thought, "they must be using WordPress". WP is a giant exploitable target, and I've personally told Matt this. Automattic saw an opportunity long ago and started VaultPress for WP security. He argued it's not a WP problem, and I frankly disagree, but he obviously understands the situation better than anyone. WP is free, but security is not because self hosted WP is so exploitable.

A launch for a client also went through the same problem in 2010, and that was after 5 years of managing other WP installs (including 2 VIP WP sites). I've seen it happen too many times for it not to be Automattic's problem to address more so than they're doing now.

Stay away from self hosted WP unless your install is absolutely bullet proof, and cross linking, especially to resource files from other WP sites is the last thing you should ever do because you do not control their security which can directly affect yours, or at least your black list vulnerability due to associated content.

Our office used to be above Automattic's in SF, and I love those guys, and what Matt has done for the web, but with great power comes with great responsibility.

getting the same untrusted notice on Firefox...at work.

Call your bank. There is a small chance you can still cancel the transaction even if the funds have cleared your account.

IMHO bitcoin provides immense value once it is truly anonymous. If anyone can anonymously gamble, buy and sell goods, and trade against bitcoin for profit then it's a perfect currency for illegal activity, which in itself represents a massive economy outside the walls of gov't.

Research would serve you well in the history of CS193P.

There is a huge difference between academia and real world products shipped by teams w/real world experience w/academic backgrounds.

I wonder what approach Evan Doll uses at Flipboard...hmmm?

I'd love one of these for Android.

I am also anti-nibs:

Examples — NIB caching; Managing UI in two places (class & IB); Nightmare managing versioning and diffs (same from @SeoxyS), especially in a team environment; "Having classes that may be instantiated both from code or from NIB deserialization adds a layer of complexity and messiness to your app" (Repost from @SeoxyS); Want a custom UI implementation? Forget about using NIBs

Without NIB's — yes you have to write a lot more code. Concerns of code bloat are overblown. Your viewcontrollers are likely already bloated without inline UI implementations.

It really comes down to personal preference especially on smaller projects/apps, but I'd argue if you have ever worked on a large scale app that you are responsible for maintaining and enhancing long term, your opinion of NIB dependencies will change. This is especially true as your team pushes the limits of the UI and app performance. If I was going to teach you how to write an app, I'd explain what NIBs are (known pros and cons) and let you decide for yourself. Just like explaining to (my) kids about religion.

Fun fact, not all WWDC examples use NIBs. Say what?! Blasphemy!

Best for both, and it will release zynga from FB exclusivity agreement. Facebook's platform and business has changed dramatically in the past 24 mos. And zynga can focus on growth on other platforms in addition to maintaining a presence on Facebook.

Twitter does not want to provide the opportunity to empower 3rd parties to become so large that they have to acquire them.

After tweet deck, this has become the driving principal. If twitter restricts platform usage, then they don't have to worry about that happening again.

That is the answer.

People do read, and some likely thought twice about clicking "Continue", and did not post because of the ridiculous license. If it happened too frequently, CL might have noticed a dip in posts.

what most people don't realize, some or most of the vagrant do not wish to have regular dwellings or homes. Usually due to mental illness or social irregularity, they feel more at home on the streets, than being provided housing by the state or city. I have heard testimony from the founder of Glide church in San Francisco on this very issue. "most of my people choose not to live in the beds we provide, because they simply want to be left alone."

There are so many levels of homeless, some by choice, others not. Help the ones that want to be helped, and find a solution for those who don't.

"We trip over them on the sidewalk every day. We curse, hand them a dollar, or don't. We feel pity, guilt and rage at their presence. The city spends $200 million a year trying to get homeless people off the streets and into a better way of life - but over 20 years, the problem has only gotten worse.

The more able of the homeless find their way into shelters, counseling and housing programs. But the most chronically indigent, called the hard core, steadfastly refuse most help and stay outside. These 3,000 to 5,000 homeless at the very bottom are the most visible, and they give the city its dubious distinction of having what many call the worst homeless problem in the country."

if you're not colorblind, these would be great.

accessibility?

i believe that might be the piggyback SSL add-on for heroku. with an improper SSL certificate implementation, that's bound to happen in 50%-75% of browsers

totally agree. here's an actual 3.2 rails app on heroku SSL ($100/mo) rack with SSL certificate ($350/yr), Stripe and KissMetrics (no need for Bootstrap) — http://d.pr/B1Vr

all i need is a windowless experience. minimal UI please? I've been a VLC user for 4 years until I realized I wanted a minimal UI footprint. It's video! UI is secondary.

I've been using MPlayerX, anyone else tried it?

If only GoDaddy was this genius.

wow, who cares.

the Google Labs shutdown, might be an echo of this.

first, please talk to someone about your depression. it's temporary, i promise.

second, companies/businesses that require or care about a degree or diploma are usually the worst. you had a high paying engineering job? well, that should be sufficient to get you into your next job, and if you sell them on who you are as a person/potential employee, even better.

third, you're only 20, and i know how that sounds, but it's true. relax. your life is just starting, and what you think you want or know now, is mostly going to change A LOT over the next 5 years. it might help to figure out some short-term goals, and go from there. we all go through rough patches in our lives, and you actually had the balls to quit and face a challenge head-on. this is something most people can't imagine doing, so it's easy for them to criticize others for doing it, which is why they're pathetic.

if i was 20 again, i would scrape together enough for a bus ticket to the bay area (palo alto, mtn. view, san francisco, etc.), and find a job at a startup. if that's not for you, then take the advice of others and get a job at a supermarket or somewhere just to get your brain on something else. then, focus on befriending people who were more like you, and decide what is best for yourself going forward, one day at a time.

some of us have been right where you are, and some of us know exactly how you feel. it will workout, you just have to ride out the rough times and climb your way back. no one on HN is going to judge you. as you can see there's a lot of support here.

which came first, the product or the platform? I remember when twitter switched over their public site and services to run on their API. Instagram just built theirs earlier this year. If the platform has an outage, so does the product. It's tough to justify a platform until you have traction, and unfortunately the industry track record reflects this.

Excellent insights in Steve's post.

Flash isn't the best story to start with :-\

what traits are worse than greed for (successful) entrepreneurs? you highlight woz's intervention, but then say greed isn't as bad as...?

not magic, TechCrunch and other blogs have been talking about Project Spartan for months. The screen shots were leaked yesterday, which is news worthy...unlike our comments.
