Re:OkCupid's “Removed” Visitor API on Monday April 09, 2018 @02:21PM (#16795522)
The thing that impresses me most is how quickly OkCupid removed public access to that API.
This is exactly why I keep a rotating supply of lego's on my desk at work. These bricks would certainly be a welcome addition to that rotation.

This certainly looks cool. I usually use vim on the command line but that's only for quick and dirty editing.

It looks like traefik has a few more features tbh, I'll definitely be giving this a serious look.
Re:Ask HN: Developers with kids, how do you skill up? on Wednesday March 08, 2017 @04:34PM (#13824037)
This is my life. I have the best intentions but when my kids wake me up in the night, or won't go to bed easily, or any number of things that don't go according to "plan" all bets are off.
Re:Corporations and OSS Do Not Mix on Friday November 06, 2015 @11:55PM (#10523782)
Both of those developers asked the community for money. They should have asked the companies that use their projects directly. I world imagine they'd hey far better results that way.
Re:Ask HN: Does anyone really love their job? on Friday November 06, 2015 @03:30AM (#10518381)
I think that you can be passionate about what you DO without loving your job. I've had jobs I hate, but I've never stopped loving building things.

As an aside, I do love my current job. When you can get both hang on to it!

This is awesome, just a shame there isn't anything like this for MS PowerShell.
Re:Ask HN: What are you working on right now and why is it cool? on Wednesday November 05, 2014 @05:17PM (#8564604)
Was honestly just commiserating that I couldn't use my keyboards hot-keys to start / stop Google Play Music. This is really useful! Thank you!

Did you ever get a resolution to this?
Become very familiar with your browser of choice's Developer Tools. In most of them you can set breakpoints in your JS, add watches to your code, among many other useful debugging techniques.

Also, two monitors will make your life 1000x easier.

This is a really cool use of technology with a real world application.
Re:Ophal – A Lua web platform on Thursday August 28, 2014 @10:56AM (#8237476)
From the link you shared: > It is not married with a particular technology

Except that from what I can tell jQuery is bundled by default...

Re:Ask HN: What Linux distro do you use for work, and why? on Monday March 03, 2014 @12:29AM (#7332198)

Thanks for posting this. I didn't know about this until just now.
Re:Phaser – Desktop and Mobile HTML5 Game Framework on Tuesday February 11, 2014 @04:56AM (#7216771)
This looks awesome. I'm definitely going to have to take a closer look.
Re:Large DDoS hitting CloudFlare on Monday February 10, 2014 @10:04PM (#7215504)
This is the most succinct and accurate assessment of anyone who DDOSSes anything.
I can't imagine that Tim Armstrong sits at home stewing about the high costs of distressed babies, but singling them out in this situation is deplorable.
Re:Project Board on Friday July 22, 2011 @03:48PM (#2794931)
This is a pretty simple web based Kanban board that I hacked out this week during down time at work. I've had several projects going at a time lately, but with down time between them while waiting for others to complete tasks...thats what gave me the idea for this.

Like I said, it's pretty simple, but it works well for me. I figured I'd submit it here and get some real world feedback on how I can improve it.

FYI, It's all HTML/CSS/JavaScript. I used localStorage to persist data between sessions.

Re:Ask HN: Recommend an IDE for noobs/novices? on Friday October 01, 2010 @04:37PM (#1748598)
I'm a HUGE fan of .Net...my list will show that.

For simple HTML, PHP, or javascript I use NotePad++. Color codes for pretty much every language out there.

For ASP.Net / C# I use Visual Studio 2k8 or 2k10 if I'm at work, and Mono-Develop if I'm at home.

For Java I have always used eclipse. But I RARELY write java.
