dizzy3ggon Blisk – a browser for web developers

Most developers I know use windows, most of them don't know what SASS is though. I think its fair to say that the majority of front end developers prefer OSX.

dizzy3ggon Apple R&D Reveals a Pivot Is Coming

Not really. Google collect more, like wifi info :/ and images (street view). Google really did revolutionise mapping.

dizzy3ggon Why we shouldn't protect teenagers from controversial issues in fiction

Like abortion? I'm pro choice, but I'm just trying to make it clear. Your beliefs maybe different and the consider things harmful, whereas others don't.

dizzy3ggon Why we shouldn't protect teenagers from controversial issues in fiction

No they dictate laws instead.

dizzy3ggon Why we shouldn't protect teenagers from controversial issues in fiction

My point exactly, it's an insult that people seem to think is fine cause they don't have the same beliefs. If only we were all the same.

dizzy3ggon Why we shouldn't protect teenagers from controversial issues in fiction

So we should insult deeply religious people by calling them derogatory names also?

EDIT: Asking if you think its fair to call somebody names because they don;t have the same beliefs?

dizzy3ggon Ask HN: ASP.Net Core or Rails?

https://github.com/dotnet/cli

dizzy3ggon Ask HN: ASP.Net Core or Rails?

With Visual Studio code and the latest rc2 betas its now becoming comparable (minus Visual Studio)

EDIT: typo.

dizzy3ggon Ask HN: ASP.Net Core or Rails?

dotnet rc2 is close to release but I wouldn't treat it as an rc. rc1 and rc2 changes are considerable and I'd expect more changes whilst they figure out the rest.

dizzy3ggon .NET Core RC2 – Improvements, Schedule, and Roadmap

I'm in the bracket of the "100 professionals working their asses off trying to ship solutions" as my day job. What has the "unemployed enthusiast"s chatting on a thread go to do with me shipping solutions? Let the children boogie and i'll join in my free time :)

I for one have enjoyed the dnx/dotnet cli journey and have engaged in communities I never knew existed. Thanks.

dizzy3ggon The impact of Prince’s death on Wikipedia

Just lol. Blind comment. He played and produced his first album his self, all 27 instruments, all production, composition, arrangement. Pretty sure he was under 20 also. Sign o the Times, lyrically hits you like Bob Dylan. I'm not sure what makes an artist to you but Prince created some of the best art I've heard. But yes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

dizzy3ggon Ask HN: Post leftpad-ocolypse, practical guidelines for Node devs?

Just read a few good tips here[1]. Basically shrinkwrap and use a private npm server/cache.

dizzy3ggon Ask HN: Why are London devs paid so much less than SF/NY?

.net is my day job, there is quite a lot of work in this space. Google .net contracts north west and find the recruitment consultants that get contract work and you're away. Once you've got few of them you'll be inundated with emails. They usually last between 3 months and 2 years really, any longer and there a few tax issues, but still possible. Always good to have a couple of clients on to help protect you from the IR35 Police. I'm not based in London but Manchester is catching up :)

dizzy3ggon Ask HN: Why are London devs paid so much less than SF/NY?

Contracting is pretty popular in London. Is contracting as popular in SF? I don't hear much about it. In London a decent mid-level developer can earn £500 a day, the shortage of developers at the moment, it's a no brainer for me. Obviously it's not for everybody. Any idea what a Senior/Team Lead earns contracting?

dizzy3ggon 7 Things You Can Do to Become a Better Developer

this should read "7 things you can do to become a better person" from my point of view it doesn't really apply to development.

dizzy3ggon All About ATM Skimmers

In the UK we have chip and pin but the ATM's do not use them, we get skimmed just the same. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-28879973

dizzy3ggon Scots, What the Heck?

The North Sea Oil paid for the 80's, the main income from it now is tax. The Norway government will still own a lot of their oil. It will be very expensive for both the UK and Scotland if its a yes vote. I just hope it isn't because I can't see it being beneficial to either party.
