Re:Ask HN: Looking for workout inspiration on Monday March 23, 2015 @11:57PM (#9254818)
What are you doing right now to work out in terms of how often you go, what you do at the gym, and so forth? More importantly, what are your goals? I'd love to help.

Square 1 Bank

Does anyone have experience with them? I was intrigued to discover their emphasis on startups. I was curious if anyone here has or had worked with them.

It's taught sometimes that the simple method is never the "good" approach, and that the fancier and more elaborate you are, the better the solution will be. I'm not just talking about code, either.

When did "simple" become such a dirty word? Simple isn't synonymous with lazy.

What about running? I have to be the most creative person alive.
Re:Divide Your Rent Fairly on Tuesday April 29, 2014 @11:09AM (#7667473)
This is probably going to be helpful for people who can't afford to pay 1-2 months of rent due to not having a job, so they can calculate what they'll owe down the road.

I've seen situations where one person is "temporarily" handling the lion's share of the rent, and as that temporary situation becomes indefinite, resentment starts boiling.

I started off in web and frontend development, but I know of IC designers who switched to web work.

Thank you for rebutting the whole "travel" thing. Traveling's more expensive than ever these days, especially if (god forbid) your travel destinations are international.

What's easy for Mark Zuckerberg isn't easy for a complete novice to whom programming doesn't come naturally.
Re:GoDaddy Released My Personal Information to a Spammer Troll on Wednesday April 16, 2014 @10:35AM (#7598015)
Welcome to GoDaddy's customer service. I don't even let them have my domain names. Use NameCheap (and no, I'm not being paid to endorse them).

Re:Ads are disgusting. on Tuesday April 15, 2014 @11:01AM (#7592159)
As a content creator myself it's disappointing when I see Adblock rates as high as they are, but I absolutely get it. If I'm upset at anyone in the Adblock debate it's the advertisers; the people who introduced intrusive pop-ups, auto playing videos, and those obnoxious banners with the smileys that scream "OH MY GOD, NO WAY!"

Then there are the issues of ads causing videos to freeze, browsers to crash, and containing malware. Or what if the ads are offensive to you or you have young kids in the house? For me it's impossible to blame users who just want to view their content in the most optimal way, which is why I see Adblock as a barometer for how satisfied users are with the way websites are delivering both paid and organic content.

Re:Why premium wordpress themes over free wordpress themes? on Saturday April 12, 2014 @10:15AM (#7577889)
Alternatively, if you know enough PHP, you can build everything you need into a custom theme's options without resorting to too many plugins and risk slowing your website down.
Re:IE6 is dead on Tuesday April 08, 2014 @10:40AM (#7553666)
I really can't say I'll be in mourning over this. I've lost count of how many times I've had to convince clients to upgrade even to IE7 because IE6 isn't compatible with some aspects of WordPress.
Re:Comic Sans, meet Comic Neue on Monday April 07, 2014 @11:29AM (#7547044)
I've never had a reason to use Comic Sans in any particular project, but the way people talk about it you'd think it was a mass murderer. It's just a typefont, guys.
