Re:Ask HN: What's the best online course for Wordpress? on Tuesday January 21, 2014 @11:44PM (#7100769)
I'm training for a job prospect that is mainly focused on theme development.
Thanks! How do you handle storage? Upgrading from 128GB to 256GB is pretty pricey. What do I do if I stick to the base storage?
On a 128GB internal SSD?

Ask HN: How is your web development experience on the base model 13" MBA 2013?

Because that's what I can really afford right now on a third-world country , entry-level salary.Specs: 1.3GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5, Turbo Boost up to 2.6GHz, 4GB 1600MHz LPDDR3 SDRAM, 128GB Flash StorageFollow-up: Given that SSDs are still expensive, is 128GB internal storage enough? (I'll get some external drives of course). Thanks HN!

Re:Tormented typhoon victims scour for food on Tuesday November 12, 2013 @07:29AM (#6717357)
This whole thing is just heartbreaking. I live in Manila but spent the majority of my life in Bicol, a southeastern province facing the pacific, making it one of the most typhoon-prone parts of the country.

I watched the local news over dinner today and here is the latest:

    People sleeping near the tarmac, waiting to get out of Leyte as soon as possible.
    Ports in Cebu are filled with people going to Leyte, some travels are cancelled due to bad weather.
    Businessmen complaining about the looting and wants to leave the province, demanding security from the government "for a long time". They also said that these looters are organized and are taking advantage of the current state of the province.
    A lady telling the story of his children eating spoiled food. I can't quite translate the whole story from the local language but this one really touched me.
    A child pleading for help, saying "wala nang pagasa" (Hope is gone).
    The Department of Help urged the local government to postpone the burial of the dead.
    Some of the baranggays (local communities) are still isolated.
Re:Ask HN: How do I learn LAMP? on Thursday November 07, 2013 @03:57AM (#6688379)
This is basically what I have to accomplish:

Take a CSV file containing logs and crawl through it. Log snippets should be linked to specific links (in this case, solutions). Generate an output (another csv with the links added).

Do you have any book recommendations I can gobble up? I prefer learning through reading a lot of books then trying them in the real world.

Yes. I just need a little guidance on what's the best way to start learning.
