I managed to tell my dad how good of a father he was to me and how much I appreciated everything he gave me and taught me... one day before he passed away. An honest deposit like this isn't as easy as it sounds.

UI looks promising but unfortunately performance was sluggish. Will have it under my radar for future, for now sticking to pgcommander.

Don't think too far. Find a problem of your own, your family or friends and try to solve it. Best chance is that if you have it, someone else might have it too.

You paid over $4k for a logo and you don't know what to do with $3k? Oh boy.. I'd say spend them all on a bullish equity and get a good ol' day job

Is it only me or this sounds like a terrible idea? Maybe it will eventually be more productive but during the transition phase, there'll be mayhem. Not to mention all the unusable clocks, hardware etc that'll have to be completely scraped.

If you want my humble opinion my friend, you're pretty much fine. Your addiction is quite bearable and you seem to have a pretty structured routine which is a luxury for most of people. Maybe get some more exercice and relax... everyone goes through some bad times every once in a while. Keep calm and keep hustling... everything is fine..
Re:Looking for Testers for a New Bookmarking Service Idea

Hey, looks like a good approach on a problem indeed. One tip though... try to eliminate at least half of the copy in your landing page. Add more bold headlines and limit the paragraphs to 2-3 lines max.
Mobile backends is definitely a hot topic nowadays and this is one of the greatest contributions. A small part of me wishes it was a more "Pythonic" though.. :)

Re:Why aren't you commenting your code?

As mentioned in Clean Code, beautifully and concisely code doesn't need much of commenting. It's pretty much self-explained.

Re:Ask HN: What is a "developer evangelist"?
on Saturday March 23, 2013 @10:17AM (#5428189)
e·van·ge·list: A person who seeks to convert others to the Christian faith, esp. by preaching.
Where "Christian" you can put whichever company grows along with it's API/code/lib usage and utilization by others.
As I see it it's a purely "hype" role and it's essentially a tech-aware marketeer seeking to attract fellow developers and engineers to work and experiment with his company's platform and products.
Re:Would E-mail work as a "simple" internal messaging system for my app?
on Tuesday March 19, 2013 @05:56AM (#5399877)
If it should be "simple" and internal, no it wouldn't fit well. I wouldn't recommend it for any type of in-app communication actually. Depending on the architecture of the app you're about to build I pretty sure there are tons of more reliable and scalable solutions.

Ultimately, the best and proper way to be a console master is to install a Unix distribution on your one and only everyday machine and avoid any sorts of X or Window manager at all.
