Just make sure to rebase every time you start work to avoid merge conflicts, but yes, this is the single most effective git workflow for small and probably larger teams too! I'm in a small team where the lead dev comes from a top SV company and he introduced this workflow and it works great.

The official API doesn't support logging in sadly yet. When it does I'll add that functionality immediately.

It would be cool to know why the downvotes.

I don't agree that testing algoritmic skills shows 'a lack of competence in the interviewing process'. Quite the opposite, but I respect your right to have this opinion so let's leave this aside.

On the other hand though, publicly calling a company 'stupid' because one does not like the way they recruit employees is more than a punch below the belt. If I don't like someone's recruitment process I don't apply for a job with them, but don't go to Hacker News and call them 'stupid'.

I work with TopTal and this is no throwaway account. I see very little reason to publicly slam a company one failed to get into and no reason to call it 'stupid'. Most companies do whiteboard questions during interviews, and Codility challenges are equivalent to that.

You could try realm.io to persist data and implement synchronization manually.

I'm European and once put my feet on the table when talking to a collegue on the phone. I did it because I was curious of people's reaction. Another colleague saw it and she was stunned to say that least. I quickly apologized, but that's a heck of a cultural difference spanning across the pond.

A stat that I can share. My iOS Hacker News Client which is currenty number 4 on AppStore has between 550 - 600 daily unique users and roughly 2.5k daily sessions on average.

Hi, thanks for your feedback.

#1 Do you mean the status bar? I could easily remove it, but don't you like to know what time it is? Removing the status bar could be an option in settings in the next release. #2 I will give this suggestion a thought. Now you can go back to the previous view by swiping right. So theoretically the back arrow could be hidden too.

No problem. Am hoping for at least one pull request!

That's a good point. I might include setting headlines' font size in the next update. Thanks!

Well, the API doesn't support viewing those posts yet.

Thanks for your feedback.

I thought tapping the title and going to the article in the comments page could be counter-productive if one slightly missed the back arrow. I need to give it a thought again.

It's a good idea to make the entire comment tappable instead of just the small button. I haven't tested the app on a physical iPhone 6 yet.

I'm not sure about the arrow. It still takes up less space than the navigation bar and immediately goes away.

Main and comments views are basically a table view with UITextViews displaying attributed strings. I did my best to convert HTML to attributed string in no time, so I'm surprised by the stuttering as you scroll. It doesn't occur on my iPhone 5s. I need to investigate that.

Initially there was an orange navigation bar in this app, but I got rid of it completely for the sake of more screen-space.

Once those feature become available in the API, I'll definitely add them. Thanks!

Thanks for you feedback! I'm glad you like the app.

I thought comments presented this way would be easier to read, because if child comments are indented than it's basically a waste of screen-space on a mobile device.

Yep, I plan to roll out an update that will include iPad support in a few weeks. Definetely before Christmas.

If this client proves popular I might write one for Android too.

None that I am aware of.

The author of this article is a hacker from the time, when the word hacker meant something different than it does today. I remember his website from my early teens when I started using the internet via a dial-up connection back in 1998. Lcamtuf, glad to see you're still around. Your fellow countryman.

I'd say start with OpenCV (http://opencv.org). Go through the code samples that are provided with the library to get a glimpse of different algorithms. Also, there's a lot of stuff on Stackoverflow which should help you to get started.

>> c. are in fact paying themselves a salary (and hiding it from investors?) Do you think all those founders don't pay themselves salaries until the company becomes profitable? I'd bet 99% seed stage startup founders do pay themselves a salary.

A friend of mine working for Delphi Automotive (electronics supplier for car makers) recently told me that the google's autonomous vehicle needs exact 3D maps, and at that time I found it hard to believe. Watching Eric Schmidt's youtubes you get the impression like the technology is already there for the car to drive everywhere in the US. Coast to coast distance is 3000 miles as oppossed to 700.000 the car has already driven.

Symptomatic Microsoft's domain is not on this list. Looks like they missed the internet revolution.

MIT. Added it to readme now. Thanks.

If someone would be interested in contributing to an OSS project to build an iOS HN client, please have a look at https://github.com/bonzoq/hniosreader.

It will feature live updates, which was impossible before the API.

I'm a happy user of iPhone 5. As an iOS Developer I can't see much of a difference between my current phone and iPhone 6/6+. Let's have a look at the new things that it has:

- larger screen - 4" is just enough for me;

- better camera - nice to have but not a must, moreover, it seems slightly protruding;

- barometer - don't need it really;

Price in Europe - 900 euros for 64 GB version without contract.

If I can get iOS8 on my old iPhone 5 then I'll stay with it.

You could try iBeacons, though they only work with iPhones.
