another observation: TikTok and similar apps (and the long Phone designs) have made Portrait/Vertical Video ther norm.

Flex was immensely powerful. Back in 2007 I was able to prototype a Flex app for a financial firm where I could load 20K complex records on UI super fast for various streaming views/Charts/trading views etc. All possible with AS3, BlazeDS/LCDS Java back-end; building trading/streaming applications was fast. Wish Adobe and rest of the guys supported Flash/Flex platform on Desktop at least. Moving to open-source/apache didnt help either; Apache Flex is pretty much written off. Sigh !

PHP is not that bad. I used Laravel to build out a PHP based web-app , it was a breeze to build - great developer experience - Eg: Netbeans/Eclipse Syntax editors are easy to use, composer was as easy as rails was. Most of my work was on the JS part though (React/WebVR). Tests, Code Coverage, Deployment to AWS, everything was smooth . This coming from a polyglot dev who built apps with Scala,Python, Java and Ruby

I was a VC++/Windows developer ~ 2004/2005. My go-to source was MSDN articles and Dr. Dobb's and of course user-groups and IRC channels.

Unix and thus Linux!

Coincidence: Just submitted my resume this morning out to Wellframe.

"I’ve never used the SD card" - stopped reading right after that. Most common use case in my family is to plug SD card from DSLR and import into photos and view it in all the retina glory. I still don't get why was the need to get rid of SD card port .

Interesting. Just searched on dolstats for that employer (Murphy Brown) and found more details. Looks like most of the h1bs in this industry are from South American countries (Honduras etc) http://dolstats.com/search

Facebook has Marketplace concept since many years.. But this feature looks like competition for apps like Close5 and LetGo. Which have been very popular recently.

Back in the day , used to have all common dependency jars in server/lib folder and only deploy slim application war to the server . Reminds me of this

played with this for a bit and it filled my browser history (chrome) with a zillion urls of it.

The only way to get a job over a coffee is by a) contributing to a open-source projects that you are interested in and where you think jobs are or maintaining a good github profile. b) building a minimum viable project and show that on HN, get some comments and hopefully some one acquihires you for the project/skills.

Or

c) Start as contractor(some jobs hire over phone) / Join a IT consulting/staff augmentation firm.

Awesome. I want to take a stroll in that town/bygone era.

Cute.. that's about it. Good design execution and a concept idea.

also it would be great if they are chewable.. looks like pack of juicy fruit gum

the left top menu looks like bootstrap collapse :-). Nostalgia for sure..good work

Now that things are so bad, the best thing to do is to keep higher ups and other peers(yours and your managers's) in the organization, a quick update on what's going on in your group. Make sure to have some good metrics/data collected to have the case strong.

Remember: When concerned about loyalty, Your loyalty is not just to the manager, but to the organization.

IMO, the best practical feature about Netbeans is easy code-indenting, while writing large HTML/JS code.

This is cool. Three.Js has been a cool library to import 3d models in various file formats and render them, just using Javascript without need of flash or any 3d player. A editor is a good next step.

For those seeing empty screens or white-pages, your browser may not be configured or doesn't support webgl. Three JS supports a svg and a canvas renderer. Try samples on three.js github site.

Very slow and laggy..couldn't even read the text content properly.

surprising . no one mentioned mtail for windows..very nice tail utility on Windows. http://ophilipp.free.fr/op_tail.htm

Very well done! bookmarked it. This would be a wonderful resource.

LinkedIn is the best tool out there, as a software engineer, I was able to get all my recent jobs (last 5 years) only by LinkedIn and the premium membership is totally worth it. Make sure to have a good profile, good recommendations, and if you are not interested in job offers, mention it on your profile. LinkedIn is much more than a recruiting site. Prune useless connections (especially those who have LION 1000+ connections etc on their profile).

Reddit is a addictive big-time sink. The only way I can get some work done is by blocking reddit.

Was recently working with a mainframe code for an update operation and my code was sending "NULL" for the last name. Surprisingly there was a person with NULL as last name (seems it's a valid last name, search facebook or LinkedIn and you will find tons of them), had to pull my hair when I saw that all the update transactions are being applied with that particular person's account.

TLDR: Careful, there could be some one with last name or first name = NULL"

the star wars themed octocat is still on their 404 page. example: https://github.com/loginzzz

The main problem with side-projects, is not about project-management, but actually keeping up continuous passion to work without major distractions, while you are already loaded with your other day-time job and managing social/personal life. I use Google docs a lot, having a spreadsheet with list of items. Other tools I've used are do.com, basecamp and trello.

Seems the text heavy, chaos, crowded design mirrors the Japanese life-style? crowded cities, most of the people in metros. May be, that is why it seems acceptable. And also having lot of content, avoids page-refreshes on tiny mobile devices where the web-adoption was more in previous years.

With all due respect, I don't see the gradient break. may be because of that gray animation rotating behind that div?, this posts reminds me of that yesterday's HN parody.

reading the lines, It seems this is only in the Metro version of IE. But still an hassle, where the desktop IE pops-up when non white-listed Flash content is on the page.

Submitting your site for consideration for Internet Explorer compatibility As stated previously, developers who have sites that require Flash Player can mark the page with a META tag (or serve a header) indicating that the site requires a plug-in. This causes Internet Explorer 10 to prompt the end user to open the site in Internet Explorer 10 for the desktop. If a site is on the CV list as compatible with Internet Explorer 10, Internet Explorer 10 will always open it with Flash Player enabled and the user won't be prompted to open in Internet Explorer 10 for the desktop.

Interesting. Flash is not just video and ads. Flex is a powerful and rich application stack on Flash platform. There are numerous sites out there using Flex.
