Re:Passive Income Hacker vs Startup Guy on Friday July 26, 2013 @12:13PM (#6108957)
Maybe good advice, but I'd recommend having a few months wages as a cushion.
I assumed the work he was doing was at a higher level than that - i.e. creating the software which allows the end user to see these annotations. In this case, it would need ongoing maintenance, which would be done best by a full time team who understand the code.

Either way, if he's good at what he does, it would make sense for the company to keep him on even if they move him to another project.

This is an incredibly well written reply; it sums up the basics of mindfulness in a very short space. Have you written any more on the subject?

This is a very weak feature to be touting as a reason to move...
Yeah I agree with this. I seem to have reached a point in life where I don't really think about the past and future often, but I wouldn't say I've quite reached enlightenment yet.
Yes, I already meditate daily and have noticed profound changes in perspective and mindset. I can't recommend anything more!
That really puts life in perspective. Enlightenment, I suppose, is living every day as if it's your last. I wonder how to reach that mindset.
Re:Show HN: Assent.js - lightweight inline form validation on Wednesday May 22, 2013 @09:58AM (#5750839)
Quick note, I realise there are already well supported libraries that do this, such as the excellent parsley.js [1].

This was a just for fun project to work on my coding skills! The approach is different and it is very lightweight - working out at just 16kb before minification and 5kb after.

Enjoy.

Re:Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (December 2012) on Wednesday December 12, 2012 @11:09AM (#4910744)
SEEKING WORK - remote or local, Nottingham, UK

I'm a developer with a lot of Javascript experience. I've used javascript to modify leading UK retailers websites to increase conversions.

I've only recently started freelancing so I'm very available and have competitive rates.

I also have knowledge of: Ruby, Python, PHP and Classic ASP.

Thanks!

Is it really worth writing so many tests for a small jQuery plugin?
Re:Dear Python, Why Are You So Ugly? on Thursday April 26, 2012 @09:55AM (#3893871)
Maybe because python has been around a lot longer than rails which is when ruby really exploded. Newer web design techniques allow for better looking websites.
I thought the same. It makes more sense to me to split up back and chest to different days and do shoulders on the chest day. I believe the 3 largest muscle groups are legs, back and chest and I split my workouts into a day for each of those.
Re:Cookie-tracking deadline: Sites pressed to meet deadline on Wednesday April 18, 2012 @10:15AM (#3858011)
I honestly think this is a stupid idea. Feels as if it's another case where someone at the top with no understanding of how the web works has decided to lay down their 'authoritah' with no regard for it's outcome. The whole political system is a shambles when it comes to anything web related. We need people with real, cast iron experience of the web to help make decisions which don't have such negative impacts.

First SOPA, now this.

Re:Steve Jobs' Wilderness Years: The Lost Tapes on Wednesday April 18, 2012 @09:40AM (#3857843)
I think it's a very important mindset to have, especially within a startup. I'm going to make a conscious effort to evaluate aspects of my life in the same way. As with anything, repeated use develops the 'muscle' required to do this quickly and I see it being a very valuable skill.

"At his memorial service, Laurene remarked that what struck her most upon really getting to know him was his "fully formed aesthetic sense." He knew exactly what he liked, and he analyzed it until he could tell you precisely why."

I find this quote very interesting. To analyse exactly why you like something obviously puts you in a place where you can easily critique and improve on ideas.

The idea is great.

I think the icon could do with some work to make it look a bit more professional though.
