And there is also a setting for having text labels in buttons instead of icons.

And that's how it all started for me (as in, that's where I typed my first lines of code, good old orange book from Sinclair with code examples like creating hangman).

Web designers? That would be a surprise to me since it's not really the easiest thing in the world. As a web developer, if I ever have to work with PHP again I'm sure I'm going with CodeIgniter, it's a pleasure to work with.

Is it just me or using more than two fingers at the same time on that screen feels wrong? The way to go is webOS-like gestures. I don't think I used my TouchPad's home button ten times in one year.

This would be an interesting discussion. I prefer to use the same coding style for the whole project without caring how the original authors of each language did it. I do however understand that the language API follows the original convent

Why "We use hyphen delimited, lowercase selectors: .thisIsBad{}, .this_is_also_bad{} but .this-is-correct{}"? I understand if the point is about the styles itself having hyphens, like padding-bottom, but it breaks the complete expression se

It used to be possible to import from last.fm (and pandora) but, true, cannot find it anymore.

Even with a deficiency you would probably be able to distinguish between different colours, right?

Kinda off-topic, from the article: "The 2012 Four Seasons Luxury Trends Report from Four Seasons reveals that 71% of its customers bring a smartphone with them on their travels and 61% bring a tablet device." That's a lot. And even so, my o

Is it just me that press the home button three times everytime I want the camera icon to appear? The first press is because that's how I do it all the time and then I remind myself that it actually takes two presses to make the icon appear.

In my area (Canary Wharf in London) with Google I can see the Crossrail works going on but there nothing happening on the Nokia maps so Google is more recent here.

Same in Portugal but you don't even need to talk about the young people. Average wage is 1000 eur, 700/900 eur would be a good salary for most young people in Portugal. It's also funny how people talk about the lazy people from the South. I

Funny you refer to the TouchPad. I have one and whenever someone sees it they just say: "Oh, you have an iPad!"

People really pay to receive SMS (assuming you are on your home country)?

by iaskwhy 15y ago
Yes, worst case scenario and post-tax because that's how you do it in Portugal. But I should have made it clearer since I talked about gross wage on the same comment. I'll insist on the idea that if you look carefully you can find offers at

It's around 2.3k eur/m for the worst case scenario, more than double what he gets currently and the cost of living is London is probably around 1.5x to 2x more expensive than in Lisbon. It's enough for London but I should also note the webs

Sadly your manager did not lie, most people I have met in Portugal (which is also my home country) do get 1k eur/m gross. And they are quite happy with it because that's what most people get from similar jobs. They also don't seem to think

I can see that being my problem since in the places I have been to I actually do seem to be a local. I also happen to stay only for a couple of weeks max and that doesn't help. One curious thing I have seen is that some ex-pats don't want t

Why? Is it because The Deck is selective? Because if that's the reason then there you have a problem to be fixed by another startup. Bloggers of the world, unite? (I know there are already a couple of offerings and people working on new ad

I try to convert everyone I know to some of the topics found here, it's indeed very useful mainly in times like these where a job is something not available for everyone. I really like seeing all these different people reading HN.

by iaskwhy 15y ago
Slightly (or completely) off-topic but you really are a taxi driver? I'm curious why you read HN and how you found it.

You know, you could say the same about lots of other countries and they don't do it, they invest in highways and other kinds of waste. Think of my home country, Portugal: we have mountains and rivers everywhere, we have the ocean, we have E

To start, they seem to have invested heavily in renewable energy sources. Citing Wikipedia: "Electricity generation in Norway is almost entirely from hydroelectric power plants." I believe that's more than you can say for any other country

I followed Gmail's tutorial (which I cannot find right now) but I remember it was using Gmail and not Exchange. I believe my problem is related to the two steps authentication but there were so many other cases there and from the kind of pe

I believe they replaced the drive. My problem is that I wouldn't need the drive if I didn't have one by the time but with the CD inside it would make a lot of noise trying to do something to it...

One reason to use this instead of Mail.app is that Mail.app seems to not be working with Gmail for a lot of people, myself included.

The first aluminum iMac didn't, had to send it to the store[1] for almost one month to get my CD back. Will never buy an iMac again. [1] Country without official Apple stores, that's what you get.

I haven't tried it but I believe there might be life even without apps. There are a couple of things Windows Phone 7 might do better: dedicated camera button (does anyone do the double tap to use the camera on the iPhone? I can't remember d
