Ask HN: Cheapest iOS development option?
I'm looking to do some iOS apps and I was wondering what my cheapest options are. I'm not interested in using a MacOS machine outside of app dev once in a while, so it doesn't make sense for me to spend 2k on a macbook pro. Any suggestions?

Thank you! I've already been doing a lot of the stuff you mentioned, and I'll definitely consider the rest. As far as citizenship is concerned, I can work for almost 3 years with my student visa (employer doesn't need to do anything either), so I'm not sure interning abroad would make much sense in my case. Also, besides language difficulties, a lot of internships outside of the US are either unpaid or so poorly paid that I couldn't afford to move half-way across the world for the summer. Good luck in your search as well!
Can't get an internship
I'm a CS student at a small college (no opportunities at career fairs) in WA, and I've been trying to find myself an internship for the past couple of months, and I've had little success. As far as I can tell, my resume is decent (modeled after careercup's resume), I have stuff on my GitHub (no one really asked me for it though), but I still rarely get any replies (especially with resume...

- I'm not sure what your main unit on the front page is supposed to convey. To be honest, I don't even know if it loaded properly. which is pretty bad. All I see is a huge blue background with one line of text on top and some sliding text on the bottom. It doesn't tell me anything.
- The icons on your footer are not obvious (except maybe for the contact and twitter ones). I had to go through all of them from left to right to see what each does. I'd suggest keeping the text permanently above the icons. You have plenty of room there.
- It seems to me like your FAQs could use a bit more info
- You've misspelled CoffeeScript as "CofeeScript" on your careers page
Anyway, it looks like you have an interesting product here. Mult succes!
Ask HN: How to build a github portfolio?
I see a lot of people suggesting that one should build a github/bitbucket portfolio. What would be appropriate projects/code to put on there, considering the fact that I doubt my skills are enough to make any non-trivial contributions to the major open-source projects?

If a form of currency has intrinsic value as opposed to being fiat currency, it will fail. Bitcoin has intrinsic value.

The purpose of putting someone in jail is REHABILITATION. That's right, all caps. The moment someone is released from jail, the legal system sees that person as having a high probability of being rehabilitated (true, not always the case, but that's the fault of the US legal system), otherwise he/she would have not been released. Unfortunately nowadays a big percentage of the population in the US is mentally challenged blood-lusting self-righteous fanatics. So you self-righteous "rockstar" developers that have been posting bullcrap in this thread, you can go fork yourselves. As for the OP, you will have no trouble finding a job. Don't make it public unless explicitly asked, and say no more than necessary. Good luck!!

How about a low paying job?
