thanks for the clarification.
Re:Switching from macOS: The Basics on Wednesday November 02, 2016 @09:46AM (#12854599)
Why do macOS users seem to want to migrate to elementary?

I mean why elementary as your choice for a Linux distro?

Re:Visual Studio Code 1.5 on Friday September 09, 2016 @10:36AM (#12462595)
Vim is charity ware actually or at least that's how it was qualified when I started using it. Most of the long time vim users I know have donated several times. Vim and Emacs also have shit loads of plugins, which can make them behave just like Atom or VSCode so as usual I think it's just a matter of preference.
Re:Ask HN: Examples of reliable software you enjoy using on Wednesday June 29, 2016 @02:05AM (#11999800)
LOL.
I use OSX at work and GNU/Linux and Windows at home. The only issue I've had are native modules but with msys2 I've usually been able to solve them 90% of the time.

there we Go again.

why spend time writing about something you don't like? Is it a therapy for programmers with strong opinions?

Re:Ask HN: Any way to find why users uninstall my app? on Thursday August 20, 2015 @10:04AM (#10091871)
Each time I install an app that says

Offers in-app purchases

I end up uninstalling it quickly (after 1 try), those ads in apps are really annoying for the user.

It's not the developers fault, but the ad system on either Android or iOS are really annoying, even if the app has all the features, for me the ads kill it.

Re:Atom 1.0 on Thursday June 25, 2015 @04:11PM (#9780601)
On this MacBook Pro (MacBookPro12,1) i7(3,1GHz) 16GB of RAM, 512GB SSD ... it takes less that 5 seconds which is way to long for me. If that's ok for you no worries, but you can't say it isn't slow.
Re:Atom 1.0 on Thursday June 25, 2015 @12:38PM (#9779142)
Atom's vim mode is a joke. No ex mode, you need another plugin for that ... which is kind of clunky.
Re:Atom 1.0 on Thursday June 25, 2015 @12:35PM (#9779119)
None.

Atom's installer is a huge download, and the editor is much slower ... It also consumes much more memory and written in coffeescript. Takes a long time to start up ... just a few things on the top of my head.

It's a great initiative though so that's already a good point.

Re:Ask HN: I Have Cancer. What Should I Do? on Saturday May 30, 2015 @08:11AM (#9629907)
Hi

That's rough and I'm sorry you have to face it.

1 - Try to think positive, I know it sounds hard but it actually helps a lot.

2 - Keep working as much as you can, it will help you not to think about the negative stuff

3 - If your employer doesn't understand the problem then the job's not worth it.

I tried to apply for the beta but it requires a FB account, which I obviously don't have since I want to stay anonymous ...

Re:Dart 1.5 on Saturday June 28, 2014 @05:27PM (#7959402)
I usually browse the docs when starting with a new topic; the dartlang website has tons of stuff (and the articles are usually kept up to date), it's quite easy to get started.

Re:Phaser – Desktop and Mobile HTML5 Game Framework on Tuesday February 11, 2014 @12:04PM (#7218648)
I'm using it since v0.95 and it's getting better and better.

I made a yeoman generator for generating "phaser game" projects quickly (JS only sorry).

Re:Buying the new MacBook Air on Tuesday June 18, 2013 @03:17AM (#5898003)
Well, that's great. Could you send some of your colleagues over here (Spain)? Cause I definetly think they didn't follow the same training sessions as you did.

Re:A is for Array - ABC Book for Kids on Friday May 31, 2013 @01:01PM (#5799760)
I'd like giving this to my kid, what programming language does this teach?
Re:Dart Is Not the Language You Think It Is on Wednesday May 22, 2013 @01:00PM (#5752169)
To answer you first question: Anyone fits in "the audience for Dart", If you're ready to use CoffeeScript, why wouldn't you give Dart a try?

"It adds optional static typing, and as far as I can tell, nothing else."

And as far as I can tell you don't have a clue of what you're talking about.

I disagree, use JavaScript since that what you're supposed to be doing, using jQuery for everything is stupid

Re:Twitter Should Shut Me Down on Thursday April 25, 2013 @02:05PM (#5608829)
Even though, Im not a fan of your "spam" approach (and the fact that you're still a kid taking people for total idiots) I must admit the idea and especially what it lead to is a success, at least for you.

My opinion, is that ads suck, most of them do (except the ones that make you laugh and remain classics which in that case fall into another category, and as far as I'm concerned that only happened with TV commercials and a very few "internet" ones) ... and being spammed even though it's becoming a habbit with all the interwebs bullshit we've been and have to digest everyday is more than annoying.

You seem to be smart and you should definetly put your talent in something else.
