from the ask-hn dept.

I recently came across this article: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=123903 and this was posted almost 7 years ago.Most people here suggest Perl/Ruby/Python.I have recently started to learn MEAN stack, and I don't know if I am on the right track.What is the best combination of frameworks/languages that you can use for webD, as of today?

I know C and also Javascript/jQuery/CSS/HTML and I want to work on a project, so as to apply what I've learnt into something that is actually useful.

I think I'm going to try to use Vagrant. And VMs really slow down the system, which is why I was thinking of getting a new OS. Dual booting is also not a great way of handling stuff. This is the first I've heard of Vagrant, so, I'll try that!

Can you list some of your other reasons?

I'm asking this question because this is the first time I'm reading about Ubuntu in a bad light. And all I can gather from the websites I've seen is that it tracks the user's search history and sends it to Canonical.

Why not Ubuntu?

Ask HN: Windows vs. Ubuntu/Linux for Coding

I use Windows for all of my work, and so it is easy for me to manage and organize all my stuff. Moreover, the sound quality is better in windows, atleast to me.But most coders online seem to hate windows, and suggest using ubuntu.So, should I use ubuntu or Windows for coding?

Re:On HN, do you read the comments before you actually click on the link? on Sunday March 22, 2015 @02:10AM (#9245811)
How is it asking for trouble?

I don't read the comments first as I always assumed that one was supposed to read the article first in order to understand the comments.
