Oh, and there's lots of racism too, as represented here. We even have a party in the parliament that represents opinions like that.
ziggamon | 12 years ago | on: Tree.io – Open Source Business Management Software
Name seemed familiar, and in deed their blog has posts from 2011 when they were a SaaS. Anyone know what happened, did it simply fail and they open sourced it or is there something else in play here?
Cool project either way though :)
ziggamon | 13 years ago | on: Ask HN: Buying unused domains from big corporations
Thx for input.
It's mainly from past acquisitions. One is from a company acquired in 2004, the other a past unused name of an acquired company that was acquired in 2006.
Do you happen to know if there are legal reasons they might be scared of doing that?

ziggamon | 13 years ago | on: Titanium vs Phonegap vs Native application development
Been using Titanium extensively in the company I run, and to this day it has been the biggest mistake we've done, followed by not migrating away from it soon enough.
Every win you get for "writing code only once" you pay for tenfold (at least) in working around quirks, lack of documentation, unsupported native API's, performance issues, building issues, unannounced API breakage, etc, etc etc. On iPhone it's bareable, although far from pleasurable. Android is to this day barely beta quality despite the company claiming "hundreds of thousands of developers".
Custom modules can usually be built to work around core stuff not working, but involves "guess and try" programming for a long time, as not all APIs are documented/exposed.
Bug reports lie around for months and years, sometimes really critical ones that break major functionality. Pull requests in github also lie untouched for indeterminate amounts of time.
In fairness, things have gotten much better in the last year, but still far from being workable, and to anyone thinking of building anything bigger than a quick prototype of anything in Titanium I'd suggest to rethink, and do a quick Google, that would reveal the hordes of frustrated people and bad reviews.
