I did this. Left a cushy corp job a few years ago, then worked on my own startup for 3 years. While we had some small funding, we could only pay ourselves very little salary (almost below livable standards for bay area, cutting into savings

It has been tricky installing Linux on the Lenovo Ideapad 720s and I wanted to write down all the research I did to get it working. It was also my first time playing with an Arch-based distro (Antergos) and it has been fun. Hope someone wil

I was a cofounder of a struggling startup for 3 years and probably one of the things that helped the most was a commitment that once a week, I meet with my band and we practice music. I play guitar and sing. It's mostly a non-negotiabl

I'm currently in the bay area, and I've always thought that in a scenario you describe, moving to Sacramento makes a lot of sense. (curious to see the thoughts of HN on this topic) You're still close enough away from the bay

One of my favorite things about the GitHub editors by far is easy image embedding. You can drag an image file into the textarea and it handles uploading it, and then puts in the correct markdown code for embedding that image. In fact, I con

I doubt he blatantly lied; I take it to mean that most likely he started playing with a language and wrote a hello-world program (or similar) at that age. I first "wrote code" at 8-9. I was in 3rd-4th grade (I started school early

Wow, this is eye-opening. The amount of guns and other weapons found by TSA is insane. If this post wasn't on tsa.gov I would've thought it's a joke post. How do this many people think they can get past TSA with all this?

Hi all, author here. Very much work in progress, and credits to github/wilsonpage who created the original project and I found it and forked/built on top of it. I've been working with React for the past year+ and can see the

There was a thread about interviewing, someone talking about how hard interviewing was and failing dozens of them even as a senior engineer. (there is a thread about that once every month or two, indeed) A commenter responded saying somethi

There are probably many factors you have to adjust along the way to achieve it -- possible, but not without effort. If you live in a place with $700/mo rent, I imagine you probably also live in an area that doesn't pay the kind of

That was a magnitude 6.9 earthquake. For context, it has been speculated (source: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/07/20/the-really-big... ) that the next "really big one" could be in th

Isn't the fine of violation 20mil Euro or 4% annual rev, whichever is higher ? That could put any side projects (or even small startups) out of business, no?

Very much this. I find how-to guides to be a very good type of topic to blog about: 1) It serves as documentation for yourself to get back to later on (it has come in useful for myself many times to look back at my blog on how I set up some

I feel similar to both OP and you; especially when first learning React a year ago. I feel like the only real way to learn it is to get a job where you work with React full time, and after a few months you will finally get comfortable with

A similar tool/startup already exists, but for Sketch instead of PSD: https://pagedraw.io/ I believe this was posted on HN a while back.

I agree somewhat, I've always wondered if the "work out instead of coffee in the morning" is a myth people like to spread, because I never feel like that myself. In the morning, my energy level is simply not high enough, and

I think the idea is instead of having 1 user pay you $30 a month, you have 10 users (or more) paying you $3 a month, you end up with a net win (even at equivalent of $30 a month of revenue because now you've had more eyeballs). The pro

This might seem a bit shallow, but I think it comes down to the set of skills, a lot. To give you an example of what I mean, if you have Node.js and React on your resume, chances are you'll be pinged by tons of startups (and some very

I actually absolutely agree with everything in this article; but I did find it amusing that the article is titled "How To Get Your Coworker To Agree With You", and the answer is actually, "Don't." The three sections

Similar to you, I also use both. Github for work (because every startup uses a Github organization for their codebase, so if you work for one, you use it), and for any open source work I contribute to, or create. Bitbucket for personal proj

Just curious, slightly off topic -- for desktop what do you find to be valuable to use Fedora over say CentOS? I know CentOS is traditionally for servers, but I've played with installing CentOS7 on a laptop for fun and side project wor

I've played around a lot with using all of Mac, Win 10 and Linux as a dev station to see what I like best, in the recent year. Win 10 has a unix subsystem now as others mentioned. It's called WSL (Windows Subsystem Linux) which yo

This could be a very convenient tool! Is it an open source project? If it is, I can imagine using this to quickly create landing sites or web sites for code projects. No worries if not.

I'm not OP, but that would be strange -- they offer a search API and a video player API. It would mean that they offer all the tools for you to build an alternative interface and then not let you do that?
