I want to address one of your points, I work here in the US under a work visa for a FAANG company. I disagree with your idea that it's somehow unfair/evil that I was "stolen" from my home country. I decided to come work

Most of them can, but few would, I for one feel it's outrageous to expect candidates to work 3 full days as a recruitment process, I'm sure I can find something better without having to take half a week off.

Drop me a line at my username @gmail.com if he would consider working for a startup based on SF but with its engineering team based on Guadalajara, México. We mostly do django, flask and angularjs and are not worried on getting someone with

My vote goes for native, i've built a series of wrapped html applications and the experience always is awful, as soon as you try to target something other than an iOS device you get tons of hard to fix bugs, awful performance and a bun

Going after your own venture while you also need to support your family is frightening and yet inspiring. I wish the best of luck to you and your team.

That's weird, I'm on Mexico and we've had those features for several weeks now. While you are watching a film you can choose to not share a specific title. I've seen the feature both on the PC and on the PS3. Maybe they did their test drive

It's a very evil standpoint for Microsoft, and should bring a couple of red flags to great efforts like wine and mono. Hopefully Oracle will lose the appeal and we will keep a little more of sanity on the software world.

I was involved on a project which were actually two very similar applications. What we did was create one gem for each specific special behavior of the app, were we declared some methods as extension points which the base app should call, i

It's weird that this question keeps coming out in several cool but not that useful HN posts. Some times it's cool to do things just because you can, maybe he was bored or he always wanted to implement a lisp dialect. It might not be that us

Sencha Touch + Phonegap, as it turns out it's not very pleasant to try to make a good looking responsive multiplatform app, specially with android browser weirdness and bugs. Lesson learn, if you care about the user experience there is no o

It looks awesome but sadly i cannot use it with my childs due to the language, i would love to see a translation to spanish. It would be cool to have that kind of resource so they can use it while i'm not at home, even tough the most fun is

I loved to read Joel, I was surprised when he announced he would not be writing again, same thing with Yegge. Obviously they get to choose what to do on they spare time, but damn, i miss those long blog posts.

I'm not surprised, but yet, i'm somewhat disapointed that it doesn't take into account your country to filter netflix releases, it looks like a cool site but it's not as useful to people on other countries.

The website just has a couple of articles but looks promising. I'm color blind and know the frustration to not be able to play some videogames or read charts which use very similar colors (at least to me). A lot of people don't even underst

The code looks for the post container element, so, if the layout is changed you would need to change at most just the parent css selector, and old links would still be working, but would stop working if the post is edited, i.e. a new paragr

The 9-1 is the node hierarchy needed to find out where to start the highlighting, it's something like look for the 10nth child and then find the second child of that element (zero based index). If you have a more complex markup it becomes a
