codeaddslife··on I'm building LYNX, an open-source DAW inspired by FL Studio, free,cross-platform
I can understand that you want to build an open source DAW (that also runs on Linux). I can also understand that you are inspired by features of an existing DAW. But you are ripping of FL Studio completely (same names, same colors, same UI, even the logo...)

Did Image-Line do something that upsets you? They are actually a great company that have been improving FL Studio for almost 3 decades.

You buy it once and receive free upgrades for the rest of your life (I bought mine +20 years ago) There is no payway, no subscription. You can subscribe to FL Cloud, but that's completely optional.

codeaddslife··on Ask HN: What's on your RSS reader?
I use inoreader + reeder. Reeder integrates with Pocket so I can read offline.

I follow:

- Newsites: HN, Dzone, Voxxed, ARS Technica, Highscalability...

- Webcomics (Xkcd, Commitstrip, Dilbert...)

- Youtube channels: https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id={channel...

- Most of these: https://github.com/kilimchoi/engineering-blogs

codeaddslife··on Why my website is better than yours: usability, performance, graceful fallback
> The entire site is 81.4KB right now, and 76.8KB of that is the font.

This means that the website could have bean 17x smaller if there was just no font loaded.

This article reminds me of http://motherfuckingwebsite.com/ and http://bettermotherfuckingwebsite.com/

I don't think that 5KB sites should be a standard, some pages just needs pictures or JS to give the experience the users needs. But a developer should always know what he is doing: If all you want to do is a show/hide toggle, then don't include a full blown JS library.

codeaddslife··on Ask HN: Is there a good tour of the modern JavaScript landscape
Take a look at http://www.frontendhandbook.com.
codeaddslife··on Ask HN: Should I mention this during Job interviews?
I would mention it. Nobody expects code from a 12yo to be 'professional'. Mention it quickly and then go on with your more recent accomplishments.

Most interviewers will probably focus on the recent stuff anyways. But do mention it. It shows you are passionate about what you are doing.
