terrible advice, never tell someone who has depression or any other mental health issue to stop going to therapy.

To get an idea of how rom hacking works, check out this video from doublefine:

Its mostly setting watches and breakpoints in the emulator, not digging through code. My mind was blown the first time I watched it.

So you are only 'normal' when you want things? That is a really strange world view.

Was this written as satire back in 1982? Because it is great when read as satire.

As a real thing written by a real person, not so much.

So the rules of the site don't apply to you? I get that you are frustrated, but your tone makes people not care about the content of your message.

SEEKING WORK - Remote (PA, USA)

Web application developer with 10+ years experience, 5 as a freelancer. I've worked on everything from 911 dispatching systems to custom built CMSs to scheduling applications.

I primarly work with Angular.js, Bootstrap, & jQuery on the front end and C# on the backend - Asp.net (Web Forms, MVC, & Web API), LINQ, Entity Framework, & MS Sql Server. I've done iOS development using Monotouch/Xamarin for an interal customer & order mangement system used by a salesforce of 500 people. I get up to speed on new tech very quickly and have been known to dabble in python, cobol, perl, and node.js.

I can code your brand new project on my own as a full stack developer or agument your existing team. If you are a small business who lacks a full time development staff, I can add new features or do maintenance on your existing applications.

Just curious, why does the word kata turn you off because you are female?

As someone who has studied martial arts for five years, there have been plenty of female students and the vast majority of the people I study with are well into their 30s.

Re:AngularJS 1.2.0: timely-delivery on Friday November 08, 2013 @05:27PM (#6699547)
Great timing. The angular based project I've been working on for the past 6 months just had a soft launch the other day. Being able to tell the powers that be that we are no longer on the unstable branch will ease a few minds.
Exactly. "Tell me about your last project" can easily turn into a 2 hour conversation with any developer who has built anything of substance. It will tell you everything you need to know about them.
I don't know how Apple has the 'integrated experience' advantage. When I buy mp3's on Amazon I can download them to my PC, leave them in the cloud and stream them over the web, or download/stream them to any iOS or Android device using their cloud app. Apple gives me similar features, but only if I stay in the iOS/OSX ecosystem.

Last year, amazon put the mp3's for around 70% of the cd's I bought from them over the past 15 years into their cloud for free. When apple removed DRM from the iTunes store, they wanted me to pay over $300 to unlock my collection.

Amazon also lets me upload my own collection into their cloud and gives me the same streaming and download capacity across any device just as if I had bought the songs from them.

I don't see how Apple wins on price, features, or experience.

Re:Show HN: Four months of indie game dev on Sunday April 21, 2013 @11:24PM (#5587596)
I would say the 50/50 rule holds true for most software, not just games. Although most people usually express it as the 80/20 rule where 20=the other 80%.

Of course you aren't, as long as it is one of the two editors you approve of.

So basically you are creating your own context based on your biases to paint the OP as evil because he didn't provide a full, encyclopedic accounting of everything he worked on.

gg internet once again.

The mistake here is thinking that google's 'free' services are free. I am letting you spy on me (gather metrics on what I read, what I've marked as important, what I've shared with others) in exchange for the use of your product.

That type of data should be worth 10x more to an advertising company than the 5 or 10 dollars a month than I would pay for each service.
