nicolasd··on Perfect MacBook Pro specs for developers?
in the 13" you can decide between i5 or i7 but both of them just have 2 cores!
nicolasd··on Just Use Sublime Text
I started learning vim a few weeks ago and had the very same experiences as the author. However, I am currently use the "Vintage" Package in Sublime, to get the nice things from both worlds.
nicolasd··on Paid Vacations for Freelance Designers and Developers
It's cool that you're honest with your marketing/sales problem and try it with this idea! I wish you luck, I/We have the same problems with marketing/sales. If you figured out some learnings, would be great to read on your blog!
nicolasd··on Tell HN Fathers: Happy Father's Day.
Seriously: why is the fathers day on different days in different countries? Here, in Austria, Father's day was last week on sunday.
nicolasd··on Pushing iOS
Nicely done, I am impressed.

Because everyone is mentioning that's like Android's Widget-Concept, and Android already solved this - that's not the case in my opinion. I think it's too complex for users to know what a "widget" excatly is. This is more the concept of: Show me a little bit more than the app-icon - and that's it. Imho the user would understand the concept immediately and don't have to know what actually a "widget" is, or how to remove it.

nicolasd··on Ask HN: How to find a project we enjoy again?
Do I get it right? Your point is: we should just build anything, no matter if we think it's valuable?
nicolasd··on Ask HN: Why hasn’t Google Wave caught on?
I used and liked it, but imo it was more an experiment for google and they had no real use-case/focus.

nicolasd··on I launched my weekend project 7 months ago on HN – here's CameraLends today
I think so… of course not for every instrument (eg. windinstruments). What I think could be the problem is that musicians really "love" their instruments. I am a drummer and I don't even like it if someone I know plays a gig with my drumkit. But that's only my opinion.
nicolasd··on The secrets of body language
Haha, I wanted to post that link too ;) Especially the "Fake it till you make it" - principle is interesting
nicolasd··on Is learning a framework harder than to learn programming?
Thank you for the links. I know Michael Hartl's ruby on rails tutorial, and it's nice written, but when I read programming books and come to parts like data-structures, then I think - "Oh no, I already know that stuff" and skip this part. But in this section you really learn about string handling… I probably should just read everything and keep on learning..
nicolasd··on Is learning a framework harder than to learn programming?
Thank you, I always thought that learning frameworks shouldn't be hard for programmers and was uncertain about my skills. But it's good to see, that I'm not the only one, so I have hope ;)
nicolasd··on NoSQL: If Only It Were That Easy
yes I know that this is an old article but I like the conclusion: "The real thing to point out is that if you are being held back from making something super awesome because you can’t choose a database, you are doing it wrong."

Is there any good article about all advantages of nosql and rdbms? Because I think this decision is very hard to make if you have no experience with much data and handling

nicolasd··on Show HN: My first personal app - HackerNews for iPhone/iPad
it would be cool if you implement a readability support :)
nicolasd··on Draw Something Loses 5 Million Users a Month After Zynga Purchase
I think the reason for this is the principle of the game.. with the time it's boring..
nicolasd··on Want good programmers? Then pay them.
I agree with you. They always say there are so much job offers and the industry search developers but with around ~1600 without taxes you don't get enough.
