Re:Poll: Do you think HN should go dark in protest of SOPA? on Wednesday January 11, 2012 @08:16PM (#3454612)
Since Turkey has its own SOPA for years, these kind of debates happened a couple of years ago. One of the ways is to show a page with the message and let the users continue to regular site if they choose to. http://techcrunch.com/2008/08/17/web-censorship-is-so-bad-in...

I agree, also what is the point of having a physical button if you can have it on the touch screen as long as you use the real estate in a clear way.
Re:The Problem with the iPhone's Home Button on Thursday July 14, 2011 @01:23PM (#2763967)
If you have many pages or folders, going directly first page will make start from scratch every time you hit the home button which for me very annoying. Say I am reading news from CNN app, when I close the app, I am expecting to see the news folder for BBC.
I am also curious about the situation when applying from Turkey, is it possible to apply with B1 visa? Are there any previous example of sth similar?
Re:US Immigration System Sucks, if you are a Founder on Monday July 26, 2010 @07:52PM (#1549736)
funny, when I came to San Francisco for Google I/O, the inspector didn't even care about the conferences, meetups that I will attend or my background (ongoing MSc), all he is interested in was whether am I planning to reunion with my girlfriend in States, why I buy a one way ticket, how much cash I have on me. One hint by the way, the inspector seems to be impressed by the book I was reading that time "Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy"

-steep learning curve compared to rails, django, grails, etc - lots of configuration (I mean a lot, no convention over configuration) - application servers are not easy, tomcat can be a nightmare in term of rapid deployment/undeploy routines, just think about heroku on the other hand
Well, i don't see it as a problem. All I say is try to adapt to the current situation, don't try to impose rules on people so that your way of seeing things continue. If people prefer to watch movies at their home w/out paying for it, what the movie industry should do is to find other ways of making money, becuase bannign things is not going to work.
Maybe your app developer should seek other ways of getting money out of his app. Not for this specific case but "in app purchase" and ads in apps are two great ways of earning money.
Correct,but twitpic shouldn't try to stop others that provide tools for the data migration

Re:Ask HN:How many of you nerds "read" wikipedia? on Saturday June 26, 2010 @06:23PM (#1464398)
I start with one tab and continue with only one tab. Going previous page is permitted but openning a new tab is not. For instance yesterday I started with google's wikipedia entry and spend approximately 2 hours. Now i know who wrote lex
seems very nice!

Re:Ask HN: Best Web Language to Learn on Wednesday November 11, 2009 @02:08AM (#934800)
since your background is with Java, I suggest you to look Grails which has similiar features with Ruby on Rails and Django.
Re:Buzz Aldrin: Cancel Ares, reprieve shuttle, colonise Mars on Saturday July 04, 2009 @08:34PM (#687768)
Colonizing moon before mars is not a perquisite. Although it can teach us how to cope with complex engineering problems, still I believe we have already have the capability to colonize mars.

Re:An Unschooling Manifesto on Sunday April 26, 2009 @03:00PM (#580279)
I remember the years I spent in high school and college just to pass the courses. It was boring and useless. All the time I waited for the course to finish to that I can go to home and do whatever I wanted to do. What a waste of time.

How to survive ?

I have a small problem ahead. Here is the very brief problem explanation. I am living in Turkey and just finished CS and accepted for the grad study and also I am accepted from one international company which offers a good salary and international team experience. But I am not sure any of these paths since I want to try my own way with a start-up. But things are harder then US or Europa I...

Re:Ask YC: Ideal Laptop Screen Size for a developer? on Tuesday January 08, 2008 @04:28PM (#96128)
I have one 22 inch at home. During nights I can use this but at office hours (I mean normal day time) I should depend on laptop screen. I guess the optimal is 13.3 considering weight and screen resolution
Re:Ask YC: Deciding what programming language on Saturday December 22, 2007 @04:19PM (#92070)
RIFE of course. It handles login stuff and much more about authentication built in and also support uploading. Use RIFE/Crud. It takes less then 5 minutes. (it is a Java Framework by the way. rifers.org)
