100+ to this.
ofcapl_··on Ask HN: What products do you love and recommend to others?
Asus Zenbook UX32LN - love the quality and the design of this product. Lately I've installed Windows on external drive and made a home (steam) console for gaming in spare time.

It has also good support of linux drivers (multi-touch, touch-to-click, click-to-click, keyboard shortcuts etc.)

MVMT watches - despite the fact of poor quality of the strap the design of the watches is awesome.

Nokia Lumia 735 - good battery life, beautiful OS, awesome performance, nice price.

Ikea qi charger (for Lumia) - beautiful, minimalistic design.

ofcapl_··on Ask HN: Slow engineers, did you get faster? How?
QA: practice, practice, practice.

PSA: no - You should NEVER choose work over your private life. If Your current boss ask You to choose between it - change the job.

ofcapl_··on Ask HN: Guide to becoming a dad?
exactly - take one particular book and stick to it.
ofcapl_··on Ask HN: How to reskill without losing income?
It is a good question! Personally, I've got my first full-time job thanks mostly to own side projects in my portfolio - I was hired even without code challenge during recruit process - so listen to 75% of comments here - do some side projects, built a solid portfolio and apply.

You can also try some contract work/start own business and do some simply projects that one-man-band can handle - I was trying that too and after every project I've felt that my skills got a boost.

Best,

ł.

ofcapl_··on Ask HN: What do you think about my startup, scription.tk?
Okay, here's my first feelings: for me it looks like regular company website, but with very specific kind of storytelling (a bit of gamification maybe) - the customer has a feeling that it is not just a regular company website, but in the end I think it is just like that :)

ofcapl_··on Poll: How many HN readers are believers?
I'm just curious. As I mentioned before most tech people I know doesn't believe in God and I was interested how it looks like a bit beyond my neighborhood.
ofcapl_··on Poll: How many HN readers are believers?
So here's also my answer - I believe in God, I was raised in Catholic environment but lately I stopped going to Church - I've lost faith in Church as a place & organization and started to believe that by being just the good person for other people (& world environment) will be enough to achieve redemption - and I believe God is generous enough to respect my way of 'believing'.

so inspiring article.
ofcapl_··on Ask HN: The best Linux laptop
totally - that's one of the reasons of choosing ZenBook
ofcapl_··on Ask HN: The best Linux laptop
same here. I've bought this year i7 1.8GhZ four-core machine, 12GB RAM, 128GB SSD and installed ElementaryOS on it. It works like a charm - especially for someone who switched back from MacBook with OSX to Linux machine. The author mentioned that he won't be able to replace OSX by linux emotionally - You should check elementaryOS - some people think that it just a OSX rip-off (but it's not)
ofcapl_··on Quantum OS - OS based on Linux which conforms to Material Design guidelines
Good question. It could be even just a custom theme (with additional plugins) or something
ofcapl_··on Meteor hits 1.0
