Re:Meta's Hack (HHVM) language appears to be no longer maintained on Tuesday September 10, 2024 @08:57AM (#41500331)

I find it interesting that it’s still getting a few github stars monthly[1]. I wonder if that’s organic discovery or an appetite for an alternative PHP?

Re:Ask HN: Who is hiring? (February 2023) on Friday February 03, 2023 @02:04PM (#34646276)

Just a heads-up: I tried applying for a frontend engineering position locally in Denver, but the job application form only allowed for the selection of New York or Boston as the location.

Re:Palantir Moves Headquarters to Denver from Silicon Valley on Thursday September 10, 2020 @03:23PM (#24435630)

The reception of this move appears to be... mixed[0]. As a Denver resident, I'm interested in seeing if this moves some larger offices out of Boulder and into Denver. Boulder seems to be suffering under the weight of zoning laws[1], but Denver seems to be capable of expanding, or at least adapting[2].

Re:Show HN: Detoxify – Kicking out a bad habit? Track it with this on Tuesday October 16, 2018 @01:16PM (#18231174)

Did you base the habit-building in the app around any particular methodology or research? Or, is it just any replacement is good replacement?

I'm not sure if there's a golden rule to helping those with addiction; I'm just glad that developers are exploring this arena.

What whitepapers have you found to contribute to your personal development in your career path? Are there any interesting or foundational examples you'd recommend for those outside of your area of expertise?

I carry a Tom Bihn Synapse 25. This bag seems like it never runs out of room, and I couldn't be happier.

Re:Cisco to lay off about 14,000 employees on Tuesday August 16, 2016 @11:33PM (#12302359)

That's a logical pivot; I'm slightly surprised they didn't try beefing up their extended support or doing a soft rollout first. Did they lay any groundwork or expectations for migrating their platform?

Re:One-third of SF Bay Area residents hope to leave soon, poll finds on Monday May 02, 2016 @02:40PM (#11614203)

It's also particularly interesting to compare this growth now with city desirability immediately post-recession: http://www.pewsocialtrends.org/2009/01/29/for-nearly-half-of... . I can't say with any certainty that the desirability has gone up or down for people living outside the Bay Area, but this may be another "cycle" that San Francisco goes through.
