mcs_··on Freelancing Platform Supporting Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin
Trying to sign up using android... click does nothing in the signup modal.
mcs_··on Ending Bitcoin Support
Love the idea of Stellar. Looks like a smart move from Stripe but will be nice to see ethereum (when and if POS).
mcs_··on Tesla Roadster
0-60 1.9 Why is this still a thing?
mcs_··on Dell’s gamble on Linux laptops has paid off
I bought a precision with ubuntu (replaced by mint) in January, xeon plus an ocean of ram. An incredible fast machine. Thanks dell. Next time I will probably try system76.
mcs_··on Gmail Launches Add-ons
Since google asked to use inbox I never looked back (and I know that Gmail is better client but people are crazy)
mcs_··on Xanadu
Did someone remember the movie?
mcs_··on Why GitHub Can't Host the Linux Kernel Community
> Like pull requests, issues can be relevant for multiple repos, and might need to be moved around

Not sure about the Linux kernel (no enough experience) but same issue across multiple projects looks something necessary...

mcs_··on Hacker Steals $8.4M Worth of Ethereum from Veritaseum Platform
The compiler should fire warnings to prevent injection like attacks. I understand solidity is a tool to program what to do with balance... A super set of rules that (at least) alerts the developers about dangerous operations will probably become a thing in the future.
mcs_··on Afghanistan's All-Girl Robotics Team Can't Get Visas to the US
Because care about something in which other are not caring makes the difference?
mcs_··on Developers who use spaces make more money than those who use tabs
I have to stop converting spaces with tab in sublime
mcs_··on Should I fire an engineer for working on his side projects during office hours?
Only if the side project is an unauthorized intent of clone your software. Fire if he doesn't do his job. How want to fire if someone does more?
mcs_··on iPad 9.7‑inch
another device to test...
mcs_··on New GitHub Terms of Service require removing many open-source works
I partially agree.

gitlab is a very good alternative... but i think that porting of a working project (not just code) is still complicate to accomplish. Manually import items like:

- issues - projects - users

it is very expensive in terms of operation.

I know that there are products, libs and API to, let say, mirror your repository, but all those tools, after you dive into some READMEs, are just not enough.

BTW: if anybody knows how to do "1 to 1" porting from github to gitlab i will appreciate it

mcs_··on As a software engineer, what's the best skill to have for the next 5-10 years?
YouTube
mcs_··on Ask HN: What was your greatest accomplishment in 2016?
Survive 12 more months, paying 2 schools, house, bills, helping mom... all with javascript.
mcs_··on Secure your MongoDB, Redis, etc
this is (maybe) because deployment is done by front-end engineers. don't get me wrong here, "lazy devops" is great and combined with cloud is just amazing (proc files, package files, ci files etc)

i don't think people want run the database or the cache system or any other critical service as public, but probably the background is not enough to solve issues on production when they pops up so:

1. you deploy a service over cloud 2. everything works 3. but if something must be solved at infrastructure level 4. apply('old style solution') open everything and debug from home attached to production

mcs_··on SQL Server on Linux public preview
It is time to port those legacy .net 2.0. to node. At least for me.

Thank Microsoft... good one

mcs_··on Google Trusted Contacts
I trust my contacts google. I don't trust your ideas. Got an idea... vote before implement. You ask us if we want the new feature looking at our data.

Just kidding. I like the idea.

mcs_··on Who Lives with Their Parents?
There is nothing to do in this era for a "kid" at 18...

In my time... there was a lot of work to do (and that was all)

Right now there is no such thing. How do you survive in modern times without someone that pays for you?

mcs_··on Ask HN: What are you thankful for?
For smart questions
mcs_··on Ask HN: I will quit my job as a PM to join a coding bootcamp. Am I crazy?
Yes...

Keep the job, join some open source projects, solve some issues and enjoy the process if you can.

You can learn how to solve digital problems by coding while you work full-time somewhere else.

Good luck in any cases

mcs_··on Blueprint – A React UI toolkit for the web
why did you publish this on Saturday??? now i have no excuse to try to replace react-material...
mcs_··on Epic Games chief pays $15M to protect 7,000 acres of North Carolina wilderness
Pay to build

Pay to not build

mcs_··on Time to Dump Time Zones
if the problem are the financial operations let them have a Time Zone.

Consideration, if you plan something at 8 am, who/what makes that possible? probably a clock! so:

1) reset the time, 2) start having business related time zone 3) start having speed related time operations

my clock tells me when i have to speed up or slow down to accomplish a task.

There are a lot of applications that can contribute to a better life:

Speed Clock for Uber! Speed Clock for development Speed Clock for ...

I mean, who cares about 2016 AC at this point? You can always have a coca cola party with gifts in some moment in the "year" if you want.

(Note: this idea is absurd and will never works)

mcs_··on FCC Vote Means Internet Providers Need Permission to Share Your Data
In some cases it is already like that. The choice will be share or stay offline.
mcs_··on Ask HN: What are the best web tools to build basic web apps as of October 2016?
I spent 2 weeks times ago learning react. My family was in vacation, no kids no wife... so as a diligent nerd I decided to understand why half of the world is now convinced that css, js, html must live together.

Curiosity, one of the project I want to rewrite is an old .net 2.0 using Ajax 1.0 (someone remember that...) having response.write (literally anything)

The idea was understand also how to combine babel and webpack to work with an external api (couple of weeks before create-react-app that you should check in any case)

I'm not using react in production yet, the application I have are full of data entry and very few nice things like stars and likes or profiles with nice icons but

Spend some time on

VUEJS (use their vue-cli)

react (use create-react-app) and check react router.

If you still don't get them after few weeks html and jquery will always rescue you (at least for next 5 more years)

Backend... cause you are learning ES6... you probably want to check

Expressjs

Passportjs

Express session (maybe using mongo as data storage)

But becauseyou also want basic...

Check out

GitLab pages

Github pages

Both have nice solution for static framework.

Good luck with this.new.world.

mcs_··on Show HN: Swip.js, a library to create multi device experiments
I don't have a use case for this (yet) but ... the demo is absolutely incredible. Very nice work
mcs_··on Awesome .NET – A collection of .NET libraries, tools, frameworks, and software
probably an "awesome" collection should contains some more attributes. You look at the list, click a link and:

- no test are available,

- no dependencies are specified (in .net world today ...)

- no licence

- no type (API, lib, bin)

of course some (maybe many) of those projects contains that information, but the lack of these attributes, makes the list not suitable for the research of an ideal component to include into a project.

mcs_··on The Linux Foundation Unites the JavaScript Community for Open Web Development
I'm OK with foundations or even companies that want to attract folk with opensource.

Will see in 3 or 5 years the results but looking at recent Facebook activity this strategy works fine.

mcs_··on It's time to reconsider going on-prem
Small team here... 20 customer on-prem. It takes more than a year to update all of them. In some cases "policy" want us to connect staging over TeamViewer sharing mouse with the the DBA.

CI is basically impossible to accomplish.

It is hilarious discovering a bug after both (us and customer) approval to go live with the last version.

The most exotic technology we have implemented is a CDN to speed up some component's delivery. And... In some cases we did not yet have authorization for that.

Honestly... on-prem is perfect to preserve your job... but man...
