This is like Clipart, but better, and for the internet. Loving it!

Or just ask a friend who lives there. This might be a good idea, but I don't see why one should pay for it. It's like saying "I'll tell you which color dress you should wear. But first, pay me." To make a recommenda

Absolutely. Now by my estimation there is still some effort going into supporting those Ballmer-era failures, but such is the burden of being a company as large as Microsoft. Microsoft without the dead-weight of having to support failed tec

Indeed. I may have judged them from the technologies that I see being used commonly, and turned a blind eye to important ones. That being said, Office365 and Azure are fairly popular anywhere .

Firstly, I didn't intend to "troll" Microsoft. Well, I agree with the last sentence. Satya Nadella was the much needed U-turn from the Balmer era. It's just that by the standards Microsoft has set for itself, they'v

Microsoft always gives the vibe of a company that is desperate to salvage some pride from its glory days. It was once a giant, but now they're on the brink of redundancy, in terms of being viewed as "innovative". This opinion

The title kind of assumes all kids are amateurs. I feel age has nothing to do with programming prowess. I may sound like I'm nitpicking but it should be "Python Exercises for Beginners". These exercises can be too tough for a

I have been using it on mac for a few days. Loving the slick design. Don't see markdown for composing by default? And also support for custom domain email accounts are not supported (yet). Will the same invite for the mac version work

Correct me if I'm wrong, do you guys limit the number of messages sent on a daily basis?

Nice website. Did you use stock photos or actually take those photos yourself?

In my opinion, you may want to drop the price tag on entry. It is widely looked down upon (eg — pay to pitch, etc) and will make you lose some credibility when it comes to discovering serious talent. Also I feel bringing religion into busin

by arsalanb 11y ago
No, it's not. Your religion doesn't affect how well your startup does, as you pointed out. This is just an unfortunate case of somebody using religion as a tool to sell you something you may not purchase otherwise. This is against

Idea: Try getting this onboard the internet.org program by Facebook. This is literally the only way I think internet.org could be useful without raising a controversy.

So that would mean telling Docker to setup a container to model the configuration on AWS on all my environments, correct?
166.
by arsalanb 11y ago
Docker is one of the tools that was concocted (by brilliant people!) after I began programming professionally. From my understanding, Docker allows you to containerize your applications so they function properly anywhere you (so to say) &qu

Might make a good "Show HN"?

by arsalanb 11y ago
I think the norm is to use the format "Show HN: <name of your project here> + <short description>", for example — "Show HN: Tuber — Tinder for Uber" The textbox at the bottom seems broken (visually), but look

Yes, I second this.

Wow. This is the most unique setups I've heard. I did hear once about a person who got an internship at Facebook (if I recall correctly) over online in-game chat.

Hey, come on, give yourself the due credit. You probably put in more hard work than you give yourself credit for :)

How can I pay you for this? Note — I know many might disagree, because of very valid points, but for me personally, deployment is a nightmare. I really have no clue how that works. I didn't know SQLite3 (being file-based) needed specia

Assuming this works perfectly well, all the time — this is awesome. A possible pain-point this is addressing is that apps behave differently locally and then when you move them to the cloud (aka deploy them) they behave differently.

I'd say D3 is a super set of the features in SigmaJS. D3 is more comprehensive in the sense that there are so many types of visualizations you can make using just D3.

I tried to use JsPlumb and it was a nightmare. I think there is a lot of documentation for JsPlumb, but it's structured so poorly that it makes it hard to use. I'm pretty sure I had an unpleasant experience with JsPlumb mostly bec
