Awesome! Loved it!

I want to send this to more people, but I know some of them don't have access to keyboards. It would be great if people could play it on phones and touch screen devices as well :D

Ask HN: How would you prepare and practice for a conference talk?

It will be my first conference talk, and I am nervous :)I don't know how to structure my talk, how to practice etc. I think I need to write a script of all the things I want to say then build the slide to support that script. Much like writing a blog post, or how many youtubers create videos. Is that a good approach?

Re:Show HN: benchttp, simplified ApacheBench (ab) in Go on Sunday August 14, 2016 @04:08AM (#12284723)
Thanks for checking it out. Let me know if you find any bugs or if you have a feature/improvement idea. :-)
The way I solved it was to say that the bicycles meet in the middle because their velocities are equal. They travel this 20/2=10 miles with v=10mph in 1 hour. In this 1 hour, the fly will travel 15 miles, no matter how often it changes its direction.

Ask HN: How do I make myself employable at Google as a programmer?

I love programming. I have been working at a couple of startups in the last 5 years. I want to move my career forward and improve my chances of being hired at a big company that is relatively more stable. I am in my early 30s and I am feeling insecure about the future. I have sent my CV a few times to Google and I didn't get a single response back.Outside work, I write little programs for fun...

That's perfect, thanks!

I am very excited about the new Mac app and I want to try it.

At the moment I use dlite. The thing I love about it is that it's transparent. I hope that the new Mac app has an option or mode to be like that too (start on system boot, doesn't create a new desktop window/gui, SSH from terminal would be enough for me).

Something analogous to MacVim's -v flag; by default "mvim" opens a new app with its own window, but "mvim -v" starts Vim inside current terminal. Not a great analogy, sorry about that.

Thanks.

Re:NPM and Left-Pad: Have We Forgotten How to Program? on Thursday March 24, 2016 @03:44AM (#11351193)
I agree that Lodash would be a better choice because it seems like a well maintained project. There could be two counter args, in theory:

- if the programmer uses other functions included in Lodash his code will have a single larger point of failure. For example, if Lodash is unpublished (intentionally as in this case, or unintentionally) then the programmer will have a lot more work to redo.

- Lodash introduces a lot of code, while the programmer only needs one of its functions to pad a string.

Re:Show HN: Htop 2.0 released, now cross-platform on Thursday February 11, 2016 @07:26AM (#11079695)
My biggest feature request is better search workflow (perhaps like Vim, instead of having to press F3) and ability to filtering/grep the list of processes when searching.

I am installing version 2.0 on my laptop to see if search has changed.

Re:Show HN: Fuzzy finder for Chrome tabs and windows on Sunday January 10, 2016 @02:48PM (#10876835)
Hmm. I'm not sure what is wrong. I don't have a Google store developer account, otherwise I would have published it there.

Try this as a workaround:

  - clone the repo
  - go to chrome://extensions/
  - enable "Developer mode"
  - Click on "Load unpacked extension..." and select the cloned directory
The advantage of this method is that you will be able to upgrade the extension in the future with a git-pull!
Re:Show HN: Fuzzy finder for Chrome tabs and windows on Sunday January 10, 2016 @02:03PM (#10876618)
Are you in developer mode? If not, enable "Developer mode" and try again. It's at the top of the chrome://extensions/ tab.
Re:Voyage to Nowhere: The Amazon Kindle Story on Tuesday April 14, 2015 @07:01AM (#9373302)
I agree about the em dashes are written incorrectly in Kindle. I really hope that Amazon fixes this.

Just a suggestion about the blog's formatting; please remove the ` `s from the html. These non-breaking white-spaces are messing the left justification of the text in the blog.

E.g., the word "Search": https://imgur.com/HF6lhSH

Interesting idea and very well done. Just one question; why does it require all these permissions to get started:

    1 - Know who you are on Google
    2 - View your email address
    3 - View and manage your spreadsheets in Google Drive
    4 - View and manage data associated with the application
    5 - Allow this application to run when you are not present
    6 - Connect to an external service
I am specifically concerned about the first and third items.
Re:Mosh: A replacement for SSH on Tuesday September 09, 2014 @03:40AM (#8289136)
Both "client" and "server" in TMUX terminology are on the same machine. AFAIK, MOSH creates a terminal emulator in each connected machine and keeps them in sync.
Re:Show HN: My Turbo Pascal compiler in JavaScript on Friday October 18, 2013 @06:11PM (#6574334)
Great work, well done! Pascal was the second language I learned, after Basic.

I'm interested in studying the code and possibly replicating it for the purpose of learning about how compilers work. Could you give a general overview of the components, or steps you took to implement them? Thanks!

I wonder why. Could you please elaborate?
Re:Animated Factorisation Diagrams on Thursday November 15, 2012 @09:00AM (#4788535)
It won't be a perfect circle. You could only create a perfect circle with infinitely many dots, no less.
Re:Animated Factorisation Diagrams on Thursday November 15, 2012 @08:49AM (#4788488)
A "circle" could be formed with any number of dots.
Re:Ask HN: What background music you play while coding? on Saturday April 30, 2011 @05:11PM (#2501581)
Any song listed in my music-bookmarks.txt. I love listening to music when my work has a steady progress. By that I mean the tasks are being done without having to pause and think for too long. Otherwise I find it easier to think in silence.
