_em_··on YouTube disrupted in Pakistan as former PM Khan streams speech
>>> who was extremely unpopular with both the army and the public

Bro, if you want to lie, at least lie at something which can’t be countered by other sources.

Among all the leaders atm, khan is the most popular one. Ever since he was ousted, he has been calling rallies and people are coming out for him. He has pulled biggest crowd in pakistan history. All can be seen on YouTube.

I can’t even read rest of your comment given that I already know that either you are very disconnected from reality or you have some other motive to discredit khan.

How can you find jobs in Canada. I have been trying to find some side cnosulting work but i am not sure which avenues to start from.
_em_··on Ask HN: Are most of us developers lying about how much work we do?
Yeah, I am kind of similar boat. I actually has opportunity to implement certain algorithms which were pivotal in launch of specific products. I spent perhaps 3-4 hours implementing the whole thing but i kept thinking about the core problem for a week, so much so that i started dreaming about it. (this dream thing happen quite often).

_em_··on Ask HN: Help me design a personal project
Given that i am trying to understand what technologies fit where, I was looking for something more discrete answer. Something along the lines

* I could use Django to create the server side. The whole server would be created in RESTFul architecture

* Front end ??? Would i create two different projects for Web and Mobile clients ? What framework to use here ? Shall the front end directly communicate with Django RESTFul api or some other layer should be there ?

_em_··on Ask HN: Ubuntu-friendly laptop comparable to MBP Retina?
i did this mistake of making a custom laptop from powernotebooks.com. The laptop by itself was a treat however, it was heavy as shit + battery was poor (9 cell battery). The biggest problem i faced was that the laptop wasn't that portable. Imagine carrying ~9 lbs of laptop + a huge charger.

After this, I decided to buy rMBP and to be honest, i am sitll not sure if i am happy with my decision. the biggest issue i am facing is software compatibilities. There aren't much softwares (that I use) are available. Granted its amazing for prorgrammin, but some leisure tasks take forever to finish.

could you list what apps you replaced with which ones ?
_em_··on Ask HN: To Join a Startup or to Join Company?
i couldn't have put it in better words than johan_larson. If you don't believe in it, then don't even think about it. Actually, you wouldn't even have made that post if you had believe in that product. So there is no point thinking over it :)
_em_··on Ask HN: Technologies to use for a pet project
finally someone replied. thanks for your input. I do want to use Angular.js but i am not sure if it is compatible with vaadin or not.

Btw, why Groovy on Grails ? Any specific reason ? I want to learn something which can land me a better job (if i want to cash that skill). So is GoG more popular or RoR ?

_em_··on Ask HN: Google interview process timeline?
they should but in my recent experience, no one informed me :)
_em_··on Ask HN: Google interview process timeline?
not sure but one thing i have noticed that recently, recruiters stop replying to you if they aren't interested. I don't want to discourage you but thats what happened to me by Amazon & Google recruiters.

Not to mention, they did inform me about rejection when i got first interviewed back in 2010.

_em_··on Ask HN: How to start earning $500/month in passive income in next 12-18 months?
might be a dumb question but how much time do you spend figuring out about these websites ? or do you have some sort of crawler ? some repo or something else ? I mean how do you have new content/week
_em_··on Ask HN: I have to analyze 100M lines of Java – where do I start?
I will totally second that approach. Rather spending time on reading code line by line, you should have your team spend time (as a tester) to figure out use-cases. One by one. The end result of those use-cases should be a user-case/requirement document which you can feed into developers cycles to start building from scratch.

You can break the steps in more agile method and have 3 sub-teams.

1. Figuring out use cases 2. Developers 3. Testers

_em_··on Special Case: Reverting to Software Engineering Career
is it that easy ? I mean, building something is one thing, but attracting new clients and making them pay every month requires "A good idea which people are in need of" AND "Good marketing skills to spread the word around".

Don't get me wrong, I am almost at the same page as of OP (though i am working as a dev but working on legacy technologies) and I also want to get out of it and move to some better opportunity but now i feel so rusted. I have been trying to keep up with technologies by reading about them but to prove that I know them, I need some thing to buiild on it and for that i need an idea too :(
