Re:More than 19,000 undersea volcanoes discovered on Saturday April 22, 2023 @12:22AM (#35663302)
Then does this mean these volcanoes will slowly shrink the size of the ocean which might contribute to raising sea levels on top of melting glaciers?
Re:I overslept because iOS 14 disabled my alarm on Thursday September 17, 2020 @07:02AM (#24503168)
Thanks for elaborating. It seems like the impact would be much more less than what I expected.
Re:I overslept because iOS 14 disabled my alarm on Thursday September 17, 2020 @06:33AM (#24502953)
This is an awful user experience. IOS asks to make these kind of updates while plugged into power at night. If I understand correctly, most of the users will be left with their alarms disabled in the middle of the night. I couldn’t understand how does Apple miss a critical point like this when their update functionality is focused on user’s sleeping hours.
Re:Two Explosions at Brussels Airport on Tuesday March 22, 2016 @04:34AM (#11335135)
We are having explosions targeting civilians in Turkey. They are occuring in two big cities Istanbul and Ankara. People are frightened to go outside nowadays. They are trying not to use public transport. And these news keep pressuring Turkish people to stay at home more and more. Our last explosion was at heart of Istanbul, Taksim at 19th March and 13th March, 17th February before that at Ankara.

Since last month, I've been developing a mobile application in my free time. It is my idea and currently a unique one. But it is somehow easy and also effective. I have a demo version to show right now. It is not production ready but it explains the idea really well.So I decided to join a local Angel meeting. There will be mentors from my city and I will show them my demo and explain them my...

Ask HN: I'm so bored. Throw me something

Posted by Xelom on Monday October 27, 2014 @11:53AM
from the ask-hn dept.

I think most of us having moments like scrolling down a website brainlessly. This can be Facebook, Twitter, 9gag, [insert random social media here], etc... Instead of this, I want to help someone or learn something new.So the idea is to throw mini-jobs which takes approx. 30 mins or some interesting open-closed sourced projects to look quickly and maybe contribute later.If this idea goes well,...

Re:Mono for Unreal Engine on Thursday October 23, 2014 @04:49PM (#8500662)
This means a lot to me. I will try to contribute to this one, nice kickstart guys!

I don't have much C++ experience and I had doubts about getting into UE only with blueprints. It feels like there will be cases that I won't able to cover just with blueprints.

I was experimenting Unity just because of their C# support but now I can gladly turn back to UE and it is more exciting for me.

Ask HN: Best practices for service,change and incident management?

Posted by Xelom on Tuesday September 02, 2014 @04:03PM
from the ask-hn dept.

My company is trying to rethink it's approach to these topics. Currently when you want to demand something like new server in the cluster or request a firewall permission, you have to go through a lot of categories. In example; Security -> Firewall -> Production -> New Permission. Are there any best practices for these topics where you can avoid category hell and lots of workflows?

Re:Tips to Become a Better JavaScript Developer on Friday August 22, 2014 @10:22AM (#8212180)
Tip #4 Ditch the jQuery Crutch: "If you can accomplish the same thing by using vanilla JavaScript, 90% of the time, it’s more efficient to do so."

No. Just no. It is not more efficient to do so 90% of the time. jQuery is mature and battle proven. It is already doing what it can do with an efficient way, which comes with years of experience.

Saying, write your vanilla javascript and ditch jQuery, your implementation will be more efficient, is a no-no. Especially in javascript world!

5) I really don't get this point. I never deployed to Azure and in my work I have a Windows Server VM with IIS on top of it. All I do is clicking publish in VS and pointing the right website. Where is the complexity in this?

Ask HN: Why mobile app updates are not updates?

Posted by Xelom on Saturday March 29, 2014 @07:08PM
from the ask-hn dept.

The word "update" is wrong when it comes to update our mobile applications. It just downloads and installs the application from the scratch, literally... What is the reason behind this? Why is it hard or impossible to make mobile applications "updatable"?
