Re:Losing 100 pounds in 276 days on Monday June 25, 2018 @09:26AM (#17392204)

Honestly curious how you have 10.5 hours to spend at the gym every day, then 8 hours at work, and still have a life? Lost 85 lbs recently myself and have extremely flexible remote developer hours and still don't think I could find 10 hours a week to spend at a gym.

That's why I like 1Password. It's on my phone, so it's accessible, and I can do "words" instead of "characters".

So, I could very well have my mother's maiden name be "panda porpoise flutist sandpile", but I understand what you're saying. It may not be for everyone, but I work in the security sector and usually over-paranoid is better than ill-prepared.

I use 1Password and randomly generate answers for each question and log them in the "Notes" of the account.

I'm sure other tools like KeePass have similar sections to do the same thing.

That way the answers aren't reproducible and you have them safely stored somewhere.

I wouldn't say "weird", but I am curious how you manage to swap your iPhone battery to the spare you carry.

While maybe not the answer you're looking for, but the value of your domain is precisely what someone is willing to pay for it.

I'm really glad this is starting to get some more national attention.

What a crap title...

Cars don't kill people, anymore than guns do. It's the idiot behind the wheel/trigger that's doing the killing.

These pieces of metal are built to be controlled by responsible humans. They do not make decisions for you, anymore than a spoon is making the decision for me to eat another bowl of cereal!

TV tower built in 1857, huh? I wonder what was broadcasting almost 100 years before TV stations existed?

While these are fun stories, it would be nice if you provided additional resources from your research.
Re:Twitter, but without code on Wednesday May 13, 2015 @11:02AM (#9539412)
I think they're trying to

1) Advertise the bubble.is framework

2) Say that developers/engineers/coders are now terribly obsolete and everything you ever wanted to build can be done with this framework, so pack your bags and go home, time to start digging ditches! /s

I didn't realize you owned the exclusive use of the large leaderboard images and rounded buttons design patterns. I'm sure there are loads of people out there profiting off of your patented design that you should probably be harassing as well.

Good thing http://getbootstrap.com/ looks nothing at all like "your" design.

Yup. It also breaks my track pad swipe navigation.

Re:Resume Republic – Awesome Online Resume Templates on Friday April 04, 2014 @11:59AM (#7532267)
Beyond the concept of the app which has been touched upon, the thing that jumped out at me as I was flipping through the app site (not the resumes) is that the content is not written all that great. I'm not claiming to be a grammar nazi, but "publiched" isn't a word and I think you're missing at least one letter in "whether your resume look good".

My main assumption is that your first language isn't English, and that's fine, but maybe hire a English speaking copy-editor to help out with such issues?

Re:Ask HN: Who is hiring? (April 2014) on Tuesday April 01, 2014 @10:20AM (#7508336)
Remote : Anywhere, USA

Mandiant Corp was recently acquired by FireEye, Inc and we're looking to grow! You'd work on a small team of 5 developers with a very laid back "startup" feel.

Our team is looking to hire a front end engineer to join our ranks. SCSS, CoffeeScript, Ruby on Rails environment, competitive salary & benefits, and a fun team who enjoys building, learning, and working together.

Feel free to reach out to me [email protected] with a GitHub repo if you have one, resume, and portfolio.

-- We're also looking for a Ruby on Rails developer, so feel free to contact me for more information on that as well!
