Re:How to learn bootstrap(CSS framework)? on Friday December 23, 2022 @09:35AM (#34106233)
Start a project, learn as you go, you don't have to learn everything, you don't need to.

FYI, your careers link (footer) is dead, it leads to /interviews instead of /interview.
FWIW, the Dota2 International[1] for 2018 will be held in Vancouver this year, all previous editions were in the US.

Not necessarily, I'd rather have my phone die at 40% or something, at least I can investigate then, and replace my battery. In the other hand, throttling my system and hiding it from me...
Re:Ask HN: How do I get $2.2M dollars? on Wednesday November 29, 2017 @12:04PM (#15808468)
To get through the interview process. Their interviews are a bunch of algorithm questions, and data structures is the starting point.
zoom.us allows remote controls, it worked fine the couple of times I've used it.
Re:Ask HN: What web framework do you use? Why did you choose it? on Wednesday December 28, 2016 @07:00AM (#13269971)
Would be curious to know more about your experience, I mostly use CakePHP, and have minimal experience with Symfony 2 and Laravel, but I always go back to CakePHP.
I think the first question to ask is, what is a "legitimate news source"?
Re:Ask HN: Best Practices for CSS in a Modern JavaScript App on Thursday September 22, 2016 @05:29AM (#12555620)
LESS compiled to CSS, mainly use it because it looks better and I don't have to deal with selector weight, also variables are helpful for colors - and some mixins here and there when necessary
I've had a great experience with CakePHP, with their cake bake tool, you'd be able to generate most of the boilerplate code for your CRUD
Re:Ask HN: Common Core Math, Better? Or Worse? on Friday September 12, 2014 @03:57AM (#8306982)
I can count the number of multiple-choice tests I had on the fingers of my hands, and all of them were tests preparing for tech certifications.

When discussing the multiple choice format between students, we've always thought that it's way easier to get the guess the right answer between choices than to show how you got there.

It's even worse outside of math classes, say history, and you're asked "when did $COUNTRY get its independence", obviously, it's much easier when you have a list of choices to choose from.

Apple has a horde of people waiting to buy its devices, it will take off thanks to Apple's marketing and then 2-3years from now, they'll start claiming that they invented smart watches.

Re:Ask HN: do you support IE6? IE7? on Thursday September 13, 2012 @01:01AM (#4514863)
Supporting IE7 is relatively easier compared to IE6 - so yeah, IE7 for me.

So far this year, no client asked for IE6 support.

Re:Ding Dong, Daily Deals Are Dead on Tuesday August 14, 2012 @07:14PM (#4383563)
Maybe dead in the US, where I live (Morocco), daily deals websites are growing like weed, and many users "discovered" online payment through them, IMO, they're not going anywhere.
Re:Ask HN: Do software developers need agents? on Monday July 30, 2012 @12:34AM (#4310927)
I don't know about the US, but in Europe (and Morocco where I live), many freelance use "sales engineers" (technico-commercial in French, not sure if it's the correct translation), this person gets a commission for every gig he lands for the freelancer.

Re:Treating JavaScript like a 30 year old language on Wednesday July 04, 2012 @11:55AM (#4199829)
AFAIK, using 'new' is not a matter of preference. Omitting the keyword leads to different results. Am I missing something?
"Moving" from a language is a laughable concept for me.

As professionals, we tend to work with many constraints in play, and one of them, most of the time, is the language. It's not that the client requires me to use PHP, but not using it will be a hassle for the client afterwards, mainly, because of hosting and maintenance. Python and Ruby devs are quite rare where I live, thus, using PHP enables the client to find maintainers easily down the road.

Technically, I have no problem moving from one language to another (though, never tried a functional language), and I've done professional work using ruby in the past.

Frankly, reading HN discussions about PHP, I feel like they're missing the point, or maybe, it's because I live in a country where PHP is prevalent - there's a whole market here for PHP devs, I've been doing contract work for almost 3years now using XHTML/CSS/JS/PHP stack exclusively, most of the time with a framework, or even a CMS.

"normal" conversation? what's that?

In all seriousness, in my opinion, there's not such thing as normal conversation, people are different, conversations too.
