Re:Credit Karma Has Raised $175M on a Valuation of $3.5B on Tuesday June 23, 2015 @03:59PM (#9767364)
I signed up for CreditKarma too long ago to remember the process, but this is pretty standard for credit reporting services. I know Equifax, MyFICO, and the free annual government site do the same. In my experience the "You recently opened an auto loan..." questions are almost always answered with "none of the above".
I've put about 12 hours in on my late 2013 13" mbp. For a decently sized-city (10k+), there aren't noticeable performance issues at full-screen and mostly 'medium' display options. Your fans will get a workout and you get about 30 minutes of battery life off the charger, though.

Re:Ask HN: Is there a non-MVC Node.js framework? on Wednesday January 21, 2015 @04:35PM (#8925926)
> I can have a highly functional site in 10 minutes with Drupal, but node.js (express), Django, Rails, etc. all seem to take forever just to get something of minimal functional equivalence.

There's nothing about Express that enforces MVC and depending on your definition of 'highly functional' you can go from nothing to production in like 100 LOC with Express and npm.

Are you familiar at all with npm? There's a package or ten for everything.

Re:All About Angular 2.0 (2014) on Monday January 05, 2015 @11:24AM (#8839541)
And 11 days later...

> Several months ago the general direction of Angular 2.0 began to change in critical ways. I found myself fundamentally at odds with certain aspects of the proposed design. Still, I tried to keep an open mind and explore the various possibilities. Unfortunately, I haven't been satisfied with how things have progressed since then. At this point, there are too many irreconcilable differences. The Angular that's being built is not the Angular I signed up to work on

My current role is Senior Front-End Dev for a small SaaS-development group that recently went through an acquisition. I've spent that last year or so on bringing an Angular front-end to our dusty old MVC2 app. I love working across the full stack but my professional experience is definitely skewed towards the client-side. Ideally, I'm looking for a position where I can branch out some and get more experience working with back-end technologies. I'm also open to senior-level front-end positions where I can get back to working with a small, focused team.

For Javascript, at least, the comparison chart essentially useless. AngularJS isn't included? jQuery and Underscore and Backbone are comparable libraries?

Re:The complete guide to centering a div on Sunday February 02, 2014 @04:07PM (#7167583)
DRY, though, right? Changing one set of CSS rules is better than hunting down 20 <center> elements when requirements change. Not to mention <center> is deprecated.

Re:Why I Built an AngularJS Training Site on Rails on Tuesday October 22, 2013 @12:25PM (#6592978)
Nice. If you're not already familiar with Restangular, be sure to check it out: https://github.com/mgonto/restangular

I tried rolling my own Angular API service, and it was a great learning experience, but Restangular trumps any vanilla service I could roll.

Re:Why I Built an AngularJS Training Site on Rails on Tuesday October 22, 2013 @10:39AM (#6592181)
This isn't a full-blown example, but AngularJS works phenomenally as an interaction layer on top of a REST API. Creating such an API with Rails is almost trivial. Postgres + Rails + AngularJS (via Bower) has become my go-to stack and is an absolute blast to develop with.
