The only problems I’ve ever seen a coworker or myself encounter with docker is not knowing it well enough. Admittedly it has a strong learning curve. There are things that will not work unless you know certain underpinnings of docker, dns/networking, etc. But to say it doesn’t work and goes haywire doesn’t make sense. It’s an extremely stable piece of software.

Coming from someone who probably is your average HN reader (programmer, power user, technically oriented), I've been enjoying Windows 10 more and more. They have put a huge effort into creating a better experience for developers. WSL was a great start, and I'm excited to see what a full Linux kernel will bring. Windows Terminal is in preview and is the terminal emulator that I would want on Windows. I already use VSCode on mac as well.

Ask HN: Tips for getting your first remote gig?

I've been applying to remote gigs since August of last year, and I have yet to get very far. My fear is the applicant pool is simply too large, so I will need to find something to set me apart. Still, it seems like most companies don't want to talk unless I have remote experience.Do you have suggestions on how best to present yourself to remote companies when you have no experience with remote?

Re:Why Is Front-End Development So Unstable? on Thursday May 31, 2018 @10:42AM (#17196649)
I disagree. Rigorous code standards are just as necessary on front-end code as back-end. In my experience, no code review, poor design or documentation, and lax standards lead to jittery experiences. For example, people write complex blocking code that causes the page to freeze for moments while that processing is happening. People write event handlers that execute too often and slow user interaction.
Re:How Social Media Exploits Our Moral Emotions on Tuesday May 15, 2018 @01:30PM (#17075760)
People wanting to be heard and feeling part of a community is a basic human need. We receive it in many different ways, and while social media is not always the healthiest way, it is one of them. People become depressed without being heard.
Re:How Social Media Exploits Our Moral Emotions on Tuesday May 15, 2018 @12:08PM (#17074996)
While social networks should make improvements to facilitate healthier communication, mean comments and pitchforking is not exclusive to social networks in any way.

If you were on a forum and said a racist comment like the one in the article, if people didn't like it you would probably be put on blast and have ruined your reputation on that forum as well. Difference is that it's not your face. If you feel like it's okay to say racist things, you probably are not going to realize your mistake unless called out by someone.

So to me it seems like social media is just piggybacking on the proclivity of people's desire to be seen and heard.

Why a max char count for password?? The max of 12 is awfully small.

Edit: The app is quiting when I try to scroll through Ars Technica in List view.

Re:Which is the fastest web framework? on Tuesday January 09, 2018 @06:03PM (#16111007)
I understand wanting to show off your latest project, but comparing a large framework like Rails to your couple hundred lines of crystal is not an honest comparison, not even taking into account the concerns of startup time as others mentioned.
Re:A day without JavaScript on Wednesday June 07, 2017 @08:09AM (#14505575)
One thing to consider is that at larger companies, we already have a difficult enough time testing all of our site with JavaScript enabled. Netflix building a version that works without JavaScript is like asking them to build a second website, especially from a QA perspective. When you look at your users and find that .5% of them are not running JavaScript, how do you justify spending the money for that few of people?
Re:Remind HN: Turn your clocks back on Saturday November 05, 2011 @10:33PM (#3201621)
Only things like my Sony bedside clock require changing for me.
Maybe so, but if you reword your search: http://bestintrobook.com/books/business+startup
You're probably already thinking this, but in the future don't do a project without a contract. I'd agree with pedalpete that you should take a stand for yourself if he chooses to run anything negative.

I understand that the mouse events it uses have no context for mobile users, and I'm planning to fix this. Thanks for your suggestion with jQuery Mobile.

Building a timezone friendly version is something I hadn't considered, but I like this idea. Embracing internationalization is most often beneficial. This functionality is something that I could see implementing.

Simplicity is the key. Tags and labels may make it heavy and overwhelming. Syncing with Google Calendar sounds promising, but I like the idea of exporting to .ics so that it would cover more applications. (though I do love GoogleCal)

I've also considered the different colors idea, and this might be implemented if I decide to build something like a comparator of schedules.

Thanks a lot for your feedback.

Re:Show HN: App for sharing your weekly schedule on Saturday April 30, 2011 @01:19AM (#2499945)
Woo, feedback! Thanks a ton. Some of the bugs you mentioned I've been aware of, just have not spent a lot of time to fix them. But specifically:

- some other real weird funky stuff going on with the dragging

I've got to go through and make sure I try every combination of dragging. That's definitely in the works before it becomes entirely feasible.

- a line that shows where your cursor is hovering over with the time tooltipped or something like that, it's all approximate right now

This is a great idea, and I'll put it on my list.

- i never liked the term permalink. i think just link works better. but this is just my personal opinion.

Duly noted. I'm in agreement with you.

- Good start though! Good luck.

Thanks for you consideration and help!

Edit: my formatting didn't go as expected

Re:Show HN: App for sharing your weekly schedule on Saturday April 30, 2011 @01:14AM (#2499937)
I've got this in the list of things to do. It might be the next thing I do, depending on more feedback.
Re:Show HN: App for sharing your weekly schedule on Saturday April 30, 2011 @12:37AM (#2499899)
It needs some functionality to be able to edit it from a distance and, more importantly, without a mouse. This could be a good way to achieve that.

Show HN: App for sharing your weekly schedule

http://thesetimes.info

Howdy HN,As a small side project, I built a small app to share weekly time schedules. It's been useful for me to help schedule meeting and share semester schedules with friends. I hope some others find some use with it.I have a few more simple ideas to implement with it, and any suggestions are encouraged.Thank you!
