Time to disable auto update and see how long it continues to work! Disappointing outcome though

SEEKING WORK - REMOTE, part time US time zone would be ideal as I could work in the evening. Location: Copenhagen, Denmark Willing to relocate: No Technologies: Web, Typescript, Angular, Angular CDK, Scss, Node

I'm software engineer with 10 years of experience, currently working as a frontend architect on a project involving multiple POs, UX team, 3 local feature teams(FE+BE) and few remote teams starting up.

Historically I've done full stack with Node, PHP, .NET, Java(Android) but over last 4 years I've focused exclusively on frontend with Angular. I was key driver for migration from AngularJS to v5. Today we are on v12. I've also landed some fixes to angular itself and 2 small features in Angular CLI (http client context is one of them).

I'm one of the guys who is excellent at problem solving, is more than happy to tackle more difficult technical problems and help others.

For this exact reason I made an extension for chrome that covers some of it's features:

I'd rather tag elements of interest and record (and adjust manually) than write everything in code.

I am glad that Sony Z5 has a camera button, it is much nicer and more natural to use than trying to touch the screen

Nope, you are not alone. I was looking forward to see some gifs or transparent pngs used as rounded corners.

Edit: the presentation itself is impressive, even with unexpected content

How about cookie policy popups/notifications/extra-top -bar? It's getting increasingly annoying to browse the Web. Basically you have to close some signup modal, cookie warning, chat head before you can start reading the content only to get another blocking modal right after scrolling - which will 'kindly' ask you to disable ad blocker... It's getting better and better!

For anyone using github and heroku - this may be convenient, but for anyone on bitbucket side - there is built in alternative (even within free tier). I'd say that they are quite late in the game

I also hate when apps are doing this, especially when you can't disable it! I really don't know how doing that benefits the user.

Recently I was bit by Instagram app on ios (reported by the client, I am an android user) - it even breaks their own login flow! E.g. You can't open a link from within their app and login to some 3rd party site via Instagram. It simply times out and doesn't even replace the page - thus hides the actual problem. What is worse, is that typical user would blame site developers for this. In the end I had to refactor the flow to avoid login when user is coming from the app...

If you choose to do this, do it this right!

Why does specifically Apple has to respond to this and not any other TV providers?

Ask HN: Instagram oauth login broken from within their app webview?

Hi, I am working on a product where I need to let a user to signup/login via instagram (thus verify account ownership). All is working fine in the webapp in safari/chrome, but when signup link is opened directly from instagram app, it opens the link in a webview and for some reason that webview is not able to open https://api.instagram.com/oauth/authorize/ URL on iOS 10 (and latest app...

Why would someone still use v2.6? There isn't much trouble to upgrade.
I've started having the same issue yesterday as well, noticed few times before but it was happening 'sometimes', now it happens all the time. Only workaround is to switch to implicit oauth as @xmrcivicboix suggested

Re:Norman layout: less effort than QWERTY on Wednesday December 14, 2016 @10:44AM (#13176784)
I've never found it convenient to use. Touchpad with multi-touch (for scrolling) is much better and for any serious work not going to switch from a dedicated mouse (anywhere mx/mx2).I am not sure what people's issues are with such input. Disclaimer: I am software developer
Re:Microservices? Please Don't on Tuesday December 13, 2016 @11:14AM (#13167855)
Until performance becomes a critical issue and then you have to deal with increased costs (hardware), caching, complexity... And if you happen to pair service with its own database (trustpilot), aggregating data for statistical reason becomes even more 'fun'.
Re:My Pixel has a manufacturing defect on Saturday December 10, 2016 @08:56AM (#13145645)
I expect manufacturer to take care of the case, custom ones just makes the phone thicker/heavier, but who knows - maybe in the future we will be buying 'case-less/naked' phones and 3rd party cases depending on the protection level needed.

Thinking about, idea doesn't sound too bad.

Re:Node.js recipe for automating JavaScript profiling in Chrome on Wednesday December 07, 2016 @02:04PM (#13125193)
Could we take heap snapshots as well? With some trigger in client side code, it might be possible to detect memory leaks.

Don't forget that you can have platform specific bugs ;)
Re:Show HN: Ndm – Npm Desktop Manager on Wednesday December 07, 2016 @11:06AM (#13123530)
Not to nitpick, but I fail to understand the problem you are trying to solve. Even if something like this would be bundled with some IDE, the reason is unclear to me. It's nice as a side project to get used to electron though.

Fits perfectly for my needs :) I've got 6820HQ and FHD. Not sure if anyone would notice any difference from 6920HQ.

Also "limited to 32GB" sounds a bit funny. Would you mind sharing why would you need more? (I am developer btw)

Re:Would You Take an 8% Pay Cut to Work from Home? on Sunday October 09, 2016 @12:48PM (#12671986)
Good point. I am yet to reach that state though. Working at work involves more communication as well
Re:Would You Take an 8% Pay Cut to Work from Home? on Sunday October 09, 2016 @12:42PM (#12671957)
Working from home may sound good only to those who haven't done it for a longer period of time. Having flexible hours is good to have, but only when you really need it (e.g. family visit, some delivery, some time off). Cut itself makes no sense, at least here in Denmark (Lithuanian here) if you work at the office you don't have to worry about food and coffee - at home you would.
