Don't bring shit you can buy back afterwards, bring all the stuff thats irreplaceable to safety and else the essential things like clothes and food. recharge your phone and push all your files to the cloud from your computer.
Re:280 characters aren't enough on Wednesday September 27, 2017 @02:22AM (#15345336)
Doesn't matter, Twitter was all about the 140 characters, nice for some they increased it, but they also removed a huge part of their identity and their value by doing so. And this only proves that Twitter doesn't stand for anything anymore and that will be the fall of it.

Hacking isn't always illegal.
It's doable, your move to launch might be slow, but as long as you put in some time when your kids have been put to bed and they are asleep, you are moving forward with whatever project your working on, just make sure the little time you have besides netflix and chill with the wife is put to good use.

No interference from the social media or news site, use the time you have only working on the project with a iron focus, make a working plan etc and you will notice you'll get shit done pretty fast even though you have a limited time each day.

You're main goal should be to add something each day to the project, and try avoiding not adding anything at all, it could me something small on the days your stuck, but as long as you keep moving forward it is possible.

I've managed to build a small business im running on the side next to having a full time job, i managed by adding bricks to it everyday till it was ready, then i initiated the project and its so well planned it only puts me to work one or two days a week and i can include my wife, there are eventually tasks she can handle and help out with.

Well, I'm 35 and my progression gained momentum after 30, before the 30s everything new took time to get into because i had this idea i had to know everything about everything to be good. But now its a lot easier as i've build up quite some experience on how to fail and succeed.

Programming wise and learning wise i've also grown wiser and know where to have my focus to be able to get better, faster and learn new technologies with my own mental algorithm. Though this most likely has nothing todo with being over 30, but maybe more with the time and experience gained over time. But as you get into the 30s, some people get kids and buy a house and what not. But that will also in time teach you how to manage the time you have available, and you will try to work more efficient and narrow your focus onto your goals and tasks in your everyday programming job or what you're doing, you learn to filter away all the noise and stay focused on the task at hand.

Might just be me, but thats a pretty odd question, do you expect programmers to retire after 30 ?
10k is really nothing if its a threat.

Pagekit (https://pagekit.com/) seems to be pretty light, but it really depends on your needs and requirements.

Re:Ask HN: How do I learn math for problem solving in CS? on Tuesday January 17, 2017 @07:06AM (#13416792)
Maybe Stanford got some courses on iTunes U, and properly other universities, i just use stanford for CS courses. :)
Re:Ask HN: Closest Thing to “Twitter for Code”? on Tuesday January 17, 2017 @06:59AM (#13416751)
Github and link it on HN i guess :D
Better guidelines, https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/Us...

And i also think its cultural thing though, they most likely have a huge community with people who has a flare for designing things that goes into the Apple-ecosystem, OS X is pretty nice to look at, and therefor people need to up their design principles to make their applications fit the OS, but don't get me wrong, there are a lot of ugly apps fro OS X as well, they just don't get the same promotion as the good looking apps. :D

Apple is a lot about design, also when it comes to development.

Only my personal thoughts and what i believe might be the reason.

This just popped up on HN, might be worth a read. :)

I wouldn't say its too late, you might have a rough start with learning and everything, but there is a lot of new technologies you can specialize in and come out on top if you invest enough time into it. Keep in mind there will be uni/college folks starting at the same time as you, regardless when you start. It's just about getting things done and get started. :)
