Re:Context switching costs more than we give it credit for on Monday January 18, 2021 @03:51AM (#25819655)
I think it's dependent upon the end goal that one intends to achieve and ones interest in given set of task. If the end goal against different set of task is different, context switching would be hard. People working in startups do context switching seamlessly comprising of different apparently unrelated task i.e. Development, Growth Hacking, QA, Marketing etc. The point is to find a higher purpose that engages one holistically. Procrastination won't happen then.

What we can perceive collectively tells us little about our collective consciousness. Humans are more than just meat.

Got it. Thanks.

This apparently seems authored by vasanthk 8 days ago (see github link). http://git.io/AY78
The factors behind building a successful startup are more than an idea or lucrative salaries. Higher salaries doesn't make startups successful, rather building teams with perfect chemistry, culture, mutual trust and synchronization between members. For that, physical presence of team members under a single roof is very important. Hope that explains it all.

If we were able to create individual or community power grids; imagine how much infrastructure could just be removed. Maintained by the individuals owning it, instead of these stupid power companies and the way they work now.
Just tested with few snippets. Working perfect with tree viewing, minifying etc. The best thing is having all utilities at one place. Would use it for sure. An all-in-one cmd tool would be helpful also. If some one have already seen such, please share.
Re:Ask HN: CS or Business? on Tuesday February 17, 2015 @07:29AM (#9061837)
Its not about CS, Business or Mathamatics. Those who pursue what they are good at are not necessarily ones having supportive academic background. Just be yourself, and be the best at what you do. Also it takes time to find what you are good at. The best thing would be to talk to passionate people of their relevant fields. Then see what excites you most.

It ain't like feeling sad or cheering up, rather more spending time with one own-self makes it happen.

With great power comes great responsibility. With the help of technology, despite our plans of paving ways to make this world a better place to live. The future still tends to be scary for many.

Great. Why is it taking so much time to load ?

Thanks! This would really save time to directly test notable api calls. Specially in a RAD environment

Re:Superhero.js – One stop for JS Knowledge on Monday April 07, 2014 @07:42AM (#7545875)
This is great. Although books like 'eloquent javascript' or 'JS design patterns' prove themselves as stepping stones for one trying to get hold. However, when it comes to real world issues, blog posts by experienced professionals are ones only companions. Its good to see relevant posts in context, firstly describing problems that developers often face and then suggesting the solutions.

Thanks. Some are exactly what I found annoying most of the time.

Yes about Javascript Ninja, you are quite right. No doubt, its one's best companion for getting firm grip on cross-browser compatibility issues.
Re:Speaking JavaScript on Thursday March 20, 2014 @09:55AM (#7435513)
'Eloquent Javascript' (http://eloquentjavascript.net/) and 'Learning JavaScript Design Patterns' (http://addyosmani.com/resources/essentialjsdesignpatterns/bo...) are the best resources so far.

Jon Ericson's 'Hacking: The Art of Exploitation' is a good start for those trying to get hold.

Re:How many failed projects does it take to learn how to code? on Monday September 09, 2013 @07:22AM (#6352770)
Nothing but steadiness.
Chemically modified graphene (CMG) nanostructures with their microscale area, sensitive electrical properties, and modifiable chemical functionality are excellent candidates for biodevices at both biocellular and biomolecular scale.
Re:Why cards are the future of the web on Monday September 09, 2013 @05:34AM (#6352503)
Its just that in web we use the term for 'Media container Formats' as cards, providing one with a way to encapsulate relevant information in a single container.

Like

In 'Broad Adaption', we see Twitter, Google, Apple, Facebook and LinkedIn all embracing this approach and in 'Well Defined Card Types', we see Photos, Videos, News Items, Maps, Offers, Recommendations.
