jarnix··on Netflix to block proxy access to content not available locally
So does it mean that Smartflix.io (I heard about it a few days ago, probably a solution for non-geek people) is dead already ?
jarnix··on Instant Loading Web Apps with an Application Shell Architecture
It's really great to see that Android (and Firefox OS obviously) is going this way. Maybe soon we can forget the native apps (that remind me of the multimedia CD ROM era from 1995) for a lot of apps that do not need access to the system's API.
jarnix··on Static Website Generators Are the Next Big Thing
"turing the whole thing", Alan should be flattered.
jarnix··on Ad Blocking Irony
Yes a responsive version seems too much to ask in 2015 :) I use hn.premii.com to read the news on HN, it's using the API and it's... responsive.
jarnix··on Wine Staging
ok thank you for the answer and explanation :)
jarnix··on Wine Staging
The url of the link seems incorrect : https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=wine-staging.com
jarnix··on BB-8 Droid Teardown
My cats love to hunt the original Sphero, but you need to make it move slow and then fast, play hide and seek, etc.

You could be interested in the "mousr" : https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/525985345/mousr-the-rob...

(I'm not involved with the project, just curious, and a cat person)

jarnix··on Ask HN: Does Twitter have a UX team?
Yes they have. Recently I read someone complaining about changing the size of the textarea constantly :) I hope it answers your question ;)
jarnix··on WordSafety – Check a name for unwanted meanings in foreign languages
It sounds like "Eh merdeux", which in French means "hey filthy" in a bad way, "un merdeux" is someone who's covered in shit.
jarnix··on Highr.io
"It's only mystery and I like it", anyway I entered my email ;)
jarnix··on Ask HN: How did you deal with depression?
Many people do not even begin to admit they are depressed, that's what I was saying: it's admitting it.
jarnix··on Ask HN: How do I explain leaving a successful, but awful startup?
Of course there is an upside to this question "What did you not like about your last job", if the candidate shares the same opinion about how you should work and be efficient, about the environment where you're working, about the people, etc, I will probably hire the guy who is closer to my way of thinking.
jarnix··on Ask HN: How did you deal with depression?
If you know that you are depressed and can talk about it, that's a good step and you should be glad to be aware of this.

It's difficult to quit playing games and procrastinate even when someone's not depressed...

Meeting new people and finding a project seems a like good thing, at least it worked for me. You should also try and going out for like walking, biking, or whatever.

And you should avoid medicine, alcohol or drugs.

jarnix··on Iran Nuclear Deal Reached
Lol, that looks like an automated response from a bot.

Moderation could add value to the community by removing these posts.

jarnix··on Iran Nuclear Deal Reached
I thought I was on "Hacker News", why is this post on the front page?
jarnix··on React.js Introduction for People Who Know Just Enough JQuery
Comparing jquery to React (or Angular/Aurelia/etc) is obvious but the article is great for beginners though.
jarnix··on Apple Music
Certainly don't want to give money to Apple, even if they have the Beatles catalog ;)
jarnix··on Don't download software from SourceForge if you can help it
I never use the "downloader", either from Akamai, Sourceforge, etc. I downloaded a few programs recently on sourceforge and never had to use their software.
jarnix··on Writing code on whiteboards is hard
And it's even harder to draw on a keyboard :)

It's stressful to write code during an interview but it's necessary since it really helps understanding how the developer thinks when he's trying to solve a problem.

I usually ask candidates to write code on paper, or even speak the code they want to write. If they know the algorithm but not the function names I don't care. This test is done after the first part of the interview where the candidate is given multiple questions so, usually, I already know if the candidate is good or not ;)

jarnix··on On-demand pick up of your unwanted items. $5 a bag
In Paris it's free, you just have to go on this website and tell what you are throwing away:

https://teleservices.paris.fr/sira/jsp/site/Portal.jsp?page=...

BTW in the URL: "&form=ramen" I suppose that the developer was hungry.

jarnix··on Show HN: Watermark.js – Functional ES6 lib for watermarking in the browser
Watermarking in the browser seems counter productive though.
jarnix··on Google+ Turns Users into Content Curators with New “Collections” Feature
I dont understand, it's like reddit then ?
jarnix··on [dead]
Sorry, I can't, I can only upvote and "flag" (so obviously I flag whenever I can)
jarnix··on Ask HN: Is anyone else getting seriously pissed off at Google?
Hello,

I don't think you should be using Google Translate for any kind of learning or business. Try an online language school instead. The translations of Google Translate are made from machine learning and are completely inaccurate.

Besides that, I agree that I'm pissed off at Google but not for the same reasons, the main reason is they are way too much powerful and I think it's dangerous for our "civilization" to depend so much from a large company.

jarnix··on Ask HN: What do you do when you ride in an Uber?
I think of all the crazy things they did previously (fake calls to Lyft, the journalist scandal, etc).
jarnix··on Master AngularJS and the JavaScript concepts behind it
for $112 only!
jarnix··on This French tech school has no teachers, no books, no tuition
Thank you for the downvote. Sorry but I am just telling the truth. If you have any counter arguments, please tell them, I would be happy to learn something about the tech schools in my country.
jarnix··on Why I don't like Java
While I partially agree with the obvious (verbosity, no global vars -!!-, class names, etc), everything that is listed in the article as a minus point is also a plus point for Java (verbosity, no global vars, class names, etc).

It's like saying that a bus is slow and big, comparing a bus to a car. Obvious points are obvious.

jarnix··on BuzzFeed Says Posts Were Deleted Because of Advertising Pressure
To complete your "fucking" sentence ;) I was working for a complete different company who is publishing a very famous fashion magazine, and although the magazine was not free, it was obviously biased by the advertisers, I mean an article could be removed or even not written if the advertiser did not ...advertise, even though there was a story to write.
jarnix··on This French tech school has no teachers, no books, no tuition
Yes, and it's a terrible school ("citation needed"). There are also other schools (like ETNA for example) where the teachers are almost non-existant, your teachers are the students of last year, (you actually pay for this, it's not public schools).

Engineering schools do not have a lot of teachers in France, I don't understand where you get that from.
