Anyone knows which non-core features will be affected by this?

Evernote Food was already shut down (https://blog.evernote.com/blog/2015/09/16/better-brainstorms...) a couple weeks ago.

Repository hosting seem to be a market where multiple companies can strive. Both GitHub and Bitbucket can capture more value.

I really like the philosophy of Arq:

- especially: owning the encryption keys [1].

- agnostic of the storage (S3, Glacier, Dropbox etc. can be used)

- documented backup format

Even better.

Title should be: "25 Percent of Cars Cause 90 Percent of Vehicle Air Pollution"

I'm curious if there is any correlation between the size of the open space and the difficulty to concentrate. My guess would be that you are mostly affected by the close surrounding and that it doesn't matter if the open space is 434,000, 1,000 or even 10 sqft.

Two other suggestions:

- Go to developer conferences. You will make connections with other people who might have leads or other people doing the same thing who don't have time to do everything and might forward projects to you.

- Build a software library in your field of interest (or even a successful product). From experience this will generate inbound interest for customizations. You will be very well positioned to do the work (Sidekiq, Ensembles come to mind).

Well it's not really a question of policy, but there is no way to inject analytics on the Play Store other than link it with GA. And there is no way to have analytics on the App Store other than iTunesConnect Analytics.

That's when you notice how dependent you can be on GitHub.

You would think you can still develop an iOS app when GitHub is down, but a simple `pod install` requires access to repos hosted on GitHub.

One thing GA will never be able to do is analyze the page views on the App Store and the source of these page views. I think that will be the great strength of this tool. Download spikes after a press article/review won't remain unexplained anymore.

Thanks for the better title on HN. If you look at most reports on the issue, the title mentions "An iPad glitch" making it sound the iPads are at fault rather than a software issue.

Even at the college/university level I have seen students complaining about professors that were fairly good, sometimes just because the grading was a bit tough.

Bond looks interesting but also fairly young (initial commit ~ 3 month ago unless I'm missing something). ReactiveCocoa already has several years behind it. It's very stable for Objective-C (several parts of Genius Scan are written with ReactiveCocoa) and now coming to Swift.

These frameworks actually don't require you to rewrite your whole app in a different way: you can easily migrate a few classes or just rewrite a few new classes. I would recommend this as a way to get familiar with functional reactive programming in an applied way.

I'm wondering how important it is to be the economical super-power?

This reminds me Steven Colbert interviewing Thomas Piketty. Colbert jokes about the short work weeks and two-months vacations in France. Piketty's reply: "in Europe, many people believe the purpose of civilization is to work less, have more vacation, take care of your friends and family. But you can make a different choice and that's fine". France is still the 6th economic power.

Small parts of Genius Scan are written in Swift. It's working fine.

In theory it's nice to work with, as it forces you to think everything more carefully and consider all error/nullable cases. In practice, integration with XCode is still full of bugs, code completion is crashing all the time, Swift classes show up as missing symbols in Objective-C (but the project compiles fine)... So, it's a bit painful and it slows down the development process.

We will keep it to very small and well-defined pieces of code for now. It's good to learn about it, but it's not productive.

Or in C: f(int m) { return [31, 28, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31][m] }

The OP didn't claim it was better than anything, it's just a nice exercise in style!

Thanks! And great questions.

We are currently two but we will be three starting next year. That will definitely help!

We want the backend to be very transparent for the user. This means that if there is any downtime on the server, you will still be able to use the app, scan documents, create PDFs, export them etc.

However, it has always been our philosophy to take our time to reduce the operational load as much as possible since our time is so precious. We have quite some experience with that having run the business as a side-project for a while before going full time on it. Running a boostrapped, profitable company also helps in that you don't have any external pressure.

SQL should be fine with sharding. Evernote has actually a great article on how they sped up their sync by rethinking the sharding. http://blog.evernote.com/tech/2014/01/28/synchronization-spe...

Thanks! Note that it's just a prototype implementation. We wouldn't want to put it like that in the hands of users, but it's definitely good enough to play with and get a sense of the final result.

This really needs a TLDR.

The problem with click-bait is that it's so omnipresent with websites like BuzzFeed that if a journalist uses a non-factual title for an opinion piece, people say it's click bait. IMHO it's really fine in that case.

I don't understand what SuperTrip is from the page or the video. Is it some kind of treasure hunt?

This is AT&T really vague article. I take pictures: why shouldn't I have the copyright monopoly for their use. What f someone takes them and are better at marketing (but shitty at taking pictures).

What you are after is the publishers and the labels, not the copyright monopoly.

The bad news for the Tech World is when people think Hacker News/Silicon Valley is the Tech World. There are 1000s of small companies and people who are part of the tech world, have never heard of Hacker News and are doing well. HN is just one community and it's serving its community well.

Yes, in France out of one of the "top" schools, in Paris area. As yulaow mentions, it can be cheaper in other areas.

There are several things to take in account.

Base salary for fresh out of school engineer is about 40 kEUR. You need to add 75% of social contributions, so that totals around 70 kEUR.

If you are a "young innovative company" though, you can have exoneration of these social contributions and only pay ~40 kEUR for the first few years.

I learned most of my CS skills out of school. School gave me more a framework to think (I studied in both France and US).

Creator of Genius Scan [1] here: we are one of the launch partners of OneNote and integrating with the API was easy. Team is also super responsive and "startup" like.

To address the "one way" API limitation, I would expect Microsoft to add more endpoints over time and I think it's not a bad strategy to start with that one. Adding a way to post notes to OneNote already enabled a lot of cool integrations...
