Re:Ask HN: How to not bring emotion from work back home? on Thursday June 08, 2017 @10:18AM (#14514319)
Try to allocate some time to think about what happened, what makes you angry. Do this maybe when walking (That's what I do) or when commuting, and prevent yourself from thinking about it once at home.

About ContentType : "If you ever move models between apps or rename your apps, you’re going to have to do some manual patching on this table"

Thanks for this, just had a kind of struggle recently

Re:Android permissions and hypocrisy on Monday January 23, 2017 @08:49AM (#13462117)
Offer a device to a novice and watch him/her panic over the incredibly huge amount of popups. (I saw my mom)

How frequent do I buy a new device shouldn't be a reason for onboarding to be such a hassle.

Of course location is a good exemple of permissions you don't want to give to every app, but I gave example of apps asking for obvious permissions.

Camera app (Still love this example, sorry) ask access for camera, and oh storage... really? Both of them are really obvious. I don't know anyone using camera just to see the preview, but maybe.

Re:Android permissions and hypocrisy on Monday January 23, 2017 @06:20AM (#13461382)
There really is a lot of things to improve about permissions. Like Apple and Android's default camera apps requesting access to camera... really? Or contact app asking permission to list contacts (on android at least).

Setting up a new phone or tablet is like dismissing 99 dialogs every time.

I indeed hope in the future there will be a better balance between user experience and user privacy.

I experienced this fraud as well, and knowing their policy about default reaching... this is a real shame. We ended up doing less and less facebook ads.
Re:Angular 2 Beta released on Wednesday December 16, 2015 @03:39AM (#10743061)
The whole angular.io documentation is telling me "well f*ck you vanilla JS user, go learn TypeScript and come back"

Same here, keep it up man!
I think there's a lot of nowadays SERIOUS projects that only rely on github ticket system. Mostly because that's the way pull request are handled.
I mainly use it as a like button, but if I'm really interested by a project I might instead start Watching it.
Re:Rapydscript: Python-like pre-compiler for JavaScript on Thursday April 16, 2015 @03:31AM (#9386412)
Nice job here.

But to be honest I'm not a pre-compiler advocate.

Javascript is a beautiful language once you stop blaming it for what it wasn't designed for. I feel that pre-compilers just divide the community up and unfortunately I've seen people going for CoffeeScript for example without even trying to grasp the subtleties of Vanilla JS.

You're right!
Is it going to be beta or alpha, like most Google Cloud services?
Re:Ask HN: What's the best technical eBook you have read? on Tuesday July 08, 2014 @06:29AM (#8003812)
I haven't finished it yet, but Linux Networking Internals was really amazing. It is a bit low-level, but even though I never really wanted to code low-level Linux, it taught me a lot about Linux's ways to handle incoming data and forward data, etc.

A python version of PHP's '@' operator, nice!
