So... while I respect avoiding shameless self-promotion, referencing your hobby project, or at least including it in your "About" info would be cool, for those interested. :)

I think the complexity of AWS's pricing is what led me to use the simplicity of AWS' lightsail offering. No free tier, but the free tier is frought with potential for overrun. Lightsail is not. https://aws.amazon.com&#x

I echo your rant. Looked up effnet stats the other day to find out there's only 20k users there these days. Not sure how many it was back in the day, and I was more of an undernet guy... but seems small today. Contact details are in my

Read a book called The Google Resume. I think it'll help you position yourself better in the market.

If you want to work for Microsoft or Google, while you likely can't get away with using your employers's $2K, the best books to read are Cracking the Coding Interview and Elements of Programming Interviews. Both books have very so

Hi Mike Ross, I was (am) you. I skipped college/university 15 years ago because I felt it couldn't teach me anything. On the one hand, I now sit beside someone with a Masters in Computer Science in a lateral position to him, so I&

I could be too late... but I'd love an invite too. I'm excited to experiment with extending Atom using Javascript, since I'm a web developer. cunninghamd@nosleep.ca.

Dollar value of disposable income. Retirement is a good consideration (per the other poster), however I do have a pension plan, so I'm slightly less concerned about that. Ultimately, I'm considering financing or leasing a (pretty

Now it's a race, if jQuery Notebook gets up to snuff by the time I need it, I'll use it, if not, Medium Editor it is (personally, I don't care if I have jQuery or not, I'm a pragmatist).

Love it! But, you need lists. In fact, I'd either document the exact commands you have implemented, or implement all the commands Medium offers, since you're inspired by Medium: https://medium.com/help-center/

Couldn't you just wire up a graphics library in Python, and give him a Sublime Text editor configured so that CTRL+B runs his python script? I'm not sure reinventing the wheel on this one makes sense, considering the power and sim

Actually, I have many hours free, every evening and/or weekend... AND I want to get into bitcoin. :) It's actually a modest goal: I want at least 1 bitcoin, and I want to sit on it, and watch it fluxuate with the market, or do wha

I will do 5 hours of web programming for you, for 1 bitcoin.

Yeah, I do web development in my 9-5, and my side projects were generally web development or software development oriented. The shorter term idea is related to beer, and I'm a homebrewer, so that keeps it close. The longer term idea is

I used to do side projects to earn extra income, but it became difficult to predict, and kind of a pain in the ass with invoicing, overdue clients, bug fixes, scheduling headaches (evenings and weekends working for mostly 9-5 companies), fa

Not being able to program is the illiteracy of this century. While I agree with this sentiment, I think it's patently false. The vast majority of people have a hard enough time using Word or Excel, let alone being able to understand

I know! I was the same, no real "problems" to solve, and the few ideas I did have amounted to fairly straight-forward CRUD-style solutions. I started implementing one of them, and then started reading an Algorithms book. From ther

I disagree here. What GATech is showing with this introduction of the course is the start . There are numerous links in the page referencing the College of Computing Website , which in turn discusses the Project Option and Thesis Option o

1. I'm still relatively new to git, so haven't looked into branching, etc., yet. Worst case scenario, add other branches to the post-commit file. 2. It really is intended as a "backup", if I was looking to interact with

Yes it is. I wondered whether the HN community would be bothered by that, and ultimately concluded that the community seems to enjoy seeing new product announcements, etc. Also, I did a google search to see if Copy had been announced on HN

Great to hear! I'd be an active Google Drive user, however the app kept crashing on my macbook, so I had to give up. I even spent a few days troubleshooting it with Google support to no avail. So long as the copy.com program doesn&#x27
