Xelom··on More than 19k undersea volcanoes discovered
Then does this mean these volcanoes will slowly shrink the size of the ocean which might contribute to raising sea levels on top of melting glaciers?
Xelom··on I overslept because iOS 14 disabled my alarm
Thanks for elaborating. It seems like the impact would be much more less than what I expected.
Xelom··on I overslept because iOS 14 disabled my alarm
This is an awful user experience. IOS asks to make these kind of updates while plugged into power at night. If I understand correctly, most of the users will be left with their alarms disabled in the middle of the night. I couldn’t understand how does Apple miss a critical point like this when their update functionality is focused on user’s sleeping hours.
Xelom··on Two Explosions at Brussels Airport
We are having explosions targeting civilians in Turkey. They are occuring in two big cities Istanbul and Ankara. People are frightened to go outside nowadays. They are trying not to use public transport. And these news keep pressuring Turkish people to stay at home more and more. Our last explosion was at heart of Istanbul, Taksim at 19th March and 13th March, 17th February before that at Ankara.
Xelom··on Steam: Seeing other people's accounts when logged in
If no one at Valve choosing to work on Steam platform. I volunteer to work on it!
Xelom··on Mono for Unreal Engine
This means a lot to me. I will try to contribute to this one, nice kickstart guys!

I don't have much C++ experience and I had doubts about getting into UE only with blueprints. It feels like there will be cases that I won't able to cover just with blueprints.

I was experimenting Unity just because of their C# support but now I can gladly turn back to UE and it is more exciting for me.

Xelom··on Tips to Become a Better JavaScript Developer
Tip #4 Ditch the jQuery Crutch: "If you can accomplish the same thing by using vanilla JavaScript, 90% of the time, it’s more efficient to do so."

No. Just no. It is not more efficient to do so 90% of the time. jQuery is mature and battle proven. It is already doing what it can do with an efficient way, which comes with years of experience.

Saying, write your vanilla javascript and ditch jQuery, your implementation will be more efficient, is a no-no. Especially in javascript world!

Xelom··on Introducing Swift
As a C# developer, I've felt familiar to this lanuage. I don't know why...
Xelom··on Introducing ASP.NET vNext
5) I really don't get this point. I never deployed to Azure and in my work I have a Windows Server VM with IIS on top of it. All I do is clicking publish in VS and pointing the right website. Where is the complexity in this?
Xelom··on Ask HN: Why use Python or similar?
I really don't see any bad point of using and IDE. Or being in Windows... It's making me a lot productive. I don't have to search the docs when I forget a function, it is there with intellisense(and explanation of it). I can debug every piece of my code with the values of my variables. It handles a lot of the boilerplate for me too.
Xelom··on Ask HN: Why use Python or similar?
I like my IDE. It makes the development really easy. I have intellisense and fantastic debug features. I install it one time and open it every time like how you open your terminal.
Xelom··on Ask HN: Why use Python or similar?
If I open a new console application in Visual Studio. I have all those boilerplate ready for me so I'm also typing:

Console.WriteLine("Hello, World!");

That's all. So I'm not even talking about the greatness of the C# IDE.

Xelom··on Ask HN: Why use Python or similar?
I'm writing a lot of little batch programs in my job. Like get those 1M records from db. Process them with an algorithm and write to results to this other table. I think you should write faster with Python. But performance of the processing is also important and LINQ helps a lot with the writing time.
Xelom··on Gen - a generics library for Go
Thanks for your effort. This is not about the library. Your site's mobile version is kinda broken. The left menu thingy always remain in the site and you can't read the main context. This happened to me on my Android Firefox Browser.
Xelom··on JSVM
Better name it VM.js !!
Xelom··on Go away Cameron – Bypass UK's porn filter
Am I the only one around here who tries to match every article with "Go" keyword with Golang?
Xelom··on Vim.js - JavaScript port of Vim
Waiting for os.js, javascript port of X operating system. And js.js, javascript port of javascript. Javascripteption anyone?
Xelom··on Explain Shell
Beautiful. Can't describe with words...
Xelom··on Build a RESTful API with Martini
Great explanation. I really want to see an example with map to a real database from you too!
Xelom··on Docker 0.7 runs on all Linux distributions
Will it be possible to run Docker containers on Android? I may be asking this incorrectly. So correct me if I have a mistake. My question might be "Will it be possible to run Docker containers on Dalvik VM?" or "Can I run an Android in Docker container?"
Xelom··on On launching AngularJS 1.2: what we learned, what we're changing
I only see a blank page. Did they learn nothing?
Xelom··on Dart Website Relaunch with 1.0 Release
It is not the same I guess. Since there is dart2js, I think we can force a Dart application to run on DartVM when the browser is Chrome and run as js when it is not Chrome. I might be mistaken. You'll just see performance gain, the application is the same.
Xelom··on Microsoft and Xamarin partner
This is better than buying Nokia! Finally some smart move from Microsoft. Because C# is a fantastic language, it has powerful tools which other languages lack and Xamarin gave developers a great opportunity(price is high though). I really can't understand some people that are in doubt with Microsoft support to C#. It is the best thing they have done and Visual Studio is the second in my opinion. And Microsoft is well aware of this, everyday we can see Microsoft making a move about C#, .Net and Azure ecosystem. Nowadays, Google is more popular for stopping services and no one bats an eye. Give Microsoft some credits guys, at least for things they are doing great.
Xelom··on A spreadsheet in fewer than 30 lines of JavaScript, no library used
These comments freak me out. Guys, come on... It's just 30 lines... Great job author, fascinating.
Xelom··on Why port Docker to the Raspberry Pi?
I really appreciate your work even I'm not interested in Raspberry Pi. But there is one topic I'm interested in and since you've done this port, I really like to get your opinion. With Android 4.4, Linux kernel of Android will be upgraded to 3.8 which is minimum requirement for Docker and since Docker team is trying to make Docker work without AUFS, do you think we can run Docker on Android? This question may be "Can we run Docker on Darwin?" or "Can we run Docker on that Linux kernel and Android inside of it?"
Xelom··on Why Japanese Web Design Is So Different
Well, their adult content is also pretty different. Think about it.
Xelom··on Show HN: CSS Number Scrolling
If I'm not having a problem with my eyes, there are blue(maybe green) dots between numbers.
Xelom··on Dart 1.0 launch is imminent
I was hoping Dart 1.0 with this quote: "Hey, we are ready to launch and so is Google Chrome with Dart VM!". But no, not going to happen.
Xelom··on GitHub's Explore Email
I don't know everyone but exploring github day to day is an entertainment for me. Your thought about mail is good but doesn't work for some people.
Xelom··on iMessage for Android
First screenshot. Cancle.
