Why does this show up in "ask" ?
codegladiator··on Ask HN: Best remote desktop app for customer support?
Anydesk
codegladiator··on Ask HN: What are some alternative careers for a hacker?
Define hacker ? List skills/knowledge/expertise ?
codegladiator··on Satoshi was wrong
Very poorly written article. Throwing a lot of shit at someone and discrediting them for some mistakes.
codegladiator··on Ask HN: What work-related task have you automated?
I have automated my travel from home to work place and work place to home. I work from home 95% time now.
codegladiator··on Cash is pretty much dead in China as the country lives the future of mobile pay
I am sure the government (in most countries) can still do that because everyone keeps most of their cash in banks. No one would keep huge amounts of legal cash at their home. And banks would necessarily have to comply govt. orders at some level.
codegladiator··on UK government calls out Whatsapp for enabling criminals to communicate in secret
That is if you ban guns.
codegladiator··on UK government calls out Whatsapp for enabling criminals to communicate in secret
Genuine question, Are guns allowed in UK just in the same way as in US ? Also, is it so hard to come up with another way of secure communication if they ban whatsapp ?

edit: also, if i could have worded that better ?

codegladiator··on Facebook Blocks Chinese Billionaire Who Tells Tales of Corruption
Also: http://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/facebook-fascism-ma...

TLDR: social networking site blocked his account for 30 days after he posted ‘Kamal ka phool hamari bhool’ (Our mistake, the lotus) with a photo on his page. (lotus is the political symbol of the current government in power, BJP)

codegladiator··on Show HN: Shelf – A better way to share knowledge across teams and organizations
And probably you dislike

- ads

- mining inside your browser

- paying

I dislike all of these too. But complaining about a "modal window asking for email which you can close" seems mean. The nagging and attention stealing is everywhere and you can easily ignore them or at least tell an alternative solution to these guys.

codegladiator··on Show HN: Shelf – A better way to share knowledge across teams and organizations
People don't want ads, don't want crypto-currency mining and not not even "popups" asking for emails, want free trials.

Frankly, you just have to click the "x". How hard it is ? I do not understand why does it bug you so much.

codegladiator··on Ask HN: How to determine equal pay for genders at a company?
I read some years ago about this problem in a paper. They solution they had was this:

1. Make buckets of "pays", say 80-85k, 85-90k, 90-95k, and so on, you can decide bucket length

2. you have two people at hand. we will come to know if there is a wage difference between these two.

3. put box in a room, send one person in, with a chit, ask them to put the chit in the box with the label of their salary.

4. get the person out, send second one in, ask them to open the box of their salary range and tell if they find a chit or not.

If they find the chit, they have same salary and the information is complete. if they didn't find the chit, there is a difference.

I am sorry I couldn't find the link or search it back. Hope the grammar/english wasn't too shitty.

codegladiator··on Deliveroo raises $385M in new funding
Is this last-mile delivery funding thing beginning again or the first one didn't stop ? It hurt everyone except the founders.
codegladiator··on Show HN: Perfectionism Will Kill Your Startup
And the MVP is just an "enter your email" page.
codegladiator··on Ask HN: What are signs of a startup failing?
What is a startup without a product and sales ? Or do you mean someone internally can use the product but it is still not out for more then a month ? Yes, a sign of failure.
codegladiator··on Show HN: Quicktype – it's like Uber, but for JSON
Tried on both firefox/chrome. Didn't check for console errors. I went back to the previously opened tab and the cross worked this time. Unable to reproduce now.
codegladiator··on Ask HN: What are signs of a startup failing?
No sale in over a month
codegladiator··on Ask HN: Which is the best laptop for programmers under budget?
I have a lenovo yoga 260 and I love it. Not the commercial one (there are multiple yoga series). One of the best keyboard I have used ( the one on MSI was better ofcourse ), plus this has 512 ssd + 8 gig ram. never heats up, very robust.

I wish there was no black boundary around the screen.

codegladiator··on Ask HN: I'm a pro; still harmed by CCleaner's malware. What could I have done?
Think twice before installing a "Anti- (virus/malware)" software. I havent installed one in either windows/linux/mac for the last 10 years ( because norton/mcafee/avg and others used to mess up the speed ).

- use ad blocker

- dont auto update

codegladiator··on Show HN: Quicktype – it's like Uber, but for JSON
The cross button on " Subscribe to quicktype updates" doesn't work. Mildly infuriating :)

edit: this is great !

codegladiator··on Show HN: Website Load Tester/Crawler Electron App
How do I execute this ? npm run/build/dev didn't work.
codegladiator··on Show HN: JSON-Menu, transform json data into a beautiful dashboard for your mac
You should check out vega - https://vega.github.io/vega/

It is an extensive grammar for visualization.

Also - https://github.com/vega/voyager

codegladiator··on Show HN: 1 KB JavaScript framework for building front-end applications
I want to see the trend of maximal libraries in javascript now.

Show HN: 2 MB JavaScript library for building front end applications with a lot of useful interactive ui components.

like https://github.com/nlp-compromise/compromise

codegladiator··on YouTube-mp3 agrees to shut down
Plus now they get to spy on us using tiny little cameras !
codegladiator··on Show HN: DocumentDeck – Simple Document Management for Individuals
What do you mean by "it only hosts your important documents, so they do not get lost" ? How do you which docs are the important ones ?
codegladiator··on FOSS and Pro-Privacy Reddit Alternative Raddit-App
Why can't Raddit abandon its open source mission statement ?
codegladiator··on Show HN: Is anyone interested in the implementation of Kubernetes app template?
Did I miss something or this is actually a SHOW because I see no code/demo ? Should have been in ask.
codegladiator··on Launch HN: NextDrop Technologies (YC S17) – Water Marketplace for Urban India
> We actually WANT the government to start to sell water on this marketplace.

I hope this never happens.

Mafia of water tanker already operator exists, and you want to capitalize on that. Great strategy for biz but bad for end users.

codegladiator··on Show HN: Rate your API Documentation
Really irrelevant set of questions to judge your documentation. Nothing about measuring how much your documentation helps developer. Having a SDK doesn't really make it friendly then a REST call.

Readmeio is focusing on thing which you can target using Readmeio.

codegladiator··on Ask HN: Why companies look for “full stack” developers instead of specialists?
IMO:

1. A lot many experts are totally unaware of the other side of tech.

2. Experts charge much more even if the requirement wasn't huge (if freelanced expert)

3. Communication is hard. Communicating with four experts about new systems is much more hard then communicating with four full stack devs.
