ofcapl_··on This Week in Rails: jQuery no longer part of Rails, and more
yup, I've also always used jQuery for ajax requests - a lot simpler/quicker/less-line-er for development than defining plain xhr requests
ofcapl_··on How to Ship Side Projects
exactly! MVP FTW!
ofcapl_··on Alien life could be so advanced it becomes indistinguishable from physics
I have it blank too (edge, wp10)
ofcapl_··on Do you really want a single-page application framework?
I think in the best case scenario there should be a framework that doesn't need dedicated plugins - just using e.g. jQuery ones (because it has gazillions of them (plugins) already) - that would be wonderful

ofcapl_··on Noisy Coworkers And Other Sounds Are A Distraction In Workplace
How many people in one room makes open space? I work with 8-10 people in one room and found a moderate distraction till I've turn my desk to the wall and I have everyone behind me.
ofcapl_··on Ask HN: How do you organise/integrate all the information in your life?
I'm using mostly my e-mail (I was into "inbox zero" before it was a thing to be honest). I have couple dedicated folders for archiving tasks etc. If I have something in my main inbox - it means that it is related to some task that is not finished (and it motivates me to finish it). Normally I have 0-5 messages in my inbox.
ofcapl_··on Ask HN: To those who became fluent in a second language, what did you do?
I'm Polish and I've learned English by taking a 1-1 class for 1 year and.. Playing games in English, watching movies with eng. subtitles, writing a blog in English - now I've started to learn Chinese in the same way - but it's a bit harder due to learning the alphabet (but it's easier that You've might think about it)
ofcapl_··on How it feels to learn JavaScript in 2016
in addition, I've took a look on react/ember/angular etc. but it just doesn't fit me - but at the same time I've took some principles from every of them and use it in my projects (e.g. code modularity)
ofcapl_··on How it feels to learn JavaScript in 2016
I'm soo 100% like You.

I've found my own stack of choice - requirejs+jade(pug)+npm scripts(to parse requirejs and ES6 with babel) just do my job - no matter if it is a front-end or mobile one.

I've also add to it Express.js if want to build something full-stack - no front-end frameworks, just jade(pug) and own way of files organization etc. Sometimes I have worse day and think that I'm behind new hyped stuff but then I realise that my way just works without any fancy setup..

ofcapl_··on Ask HN: Best daily practices u've come across to design-code faster and better
markdown files probably ?
ofcapl_··on Sublime Text 3 marked as recommended build
exactly! I've bought SublimeText couple years ago, when the value after currency conversion was 4x higher than for someone who earns in dollars - still it was the best investments in dev tool ever!
ofcapl_··on Ask HN: How does a 1990s web developer get back on track?
Meteor is great for side-projects, finding a good job as a Meteor developer can be hard - maybe make some research first if there're any job offers in Your area if You are thinking about going full-time with Meteor.
ofcapl_··on Ask HN: What are the best developer conferences in 2016?
PolyConf maybe? http://polyconf.com/

I've heard very good reviews about previous editions.

ofcapl_··on Ask HN: Agencies, how do you host multiple client websites?
I think hosting client websites on multiple servers is more safe solution - imagine that Your hosting company have a huge server wipeout or something that makes Your data lost for ever. And Your EVERY SINGLE CLIENT data too.
ofcapl_··on Keep Out – A WebGL Game
very nice game!
ofcapl_··on Anderson.vim: Dark vim colorscheme based on colors from Wes Anderson films
sorry for a little offtop, but I want to know how do You deal with really long files (e.g. css) in vim? I used to work with vim, but navigating in long files caused 'jumpy' scroll effect which drives me crazy - any suggestions?

btw. this theme is really nice :)

ofcapl_··on [dead]
amen to that!
ofcapl_··on Ask HN: Any graphic design folks here want Adobe software
is that offer still available? please e-mail me with info at letstalk@lukaszkups.net
ofcapl_··on Ask HN: Which job should I choose?
I You feel good at these all technologies/frameworks and the salary and location are pretty similiar in both of these companies (or You just don't care at the moment about it) I would suggest You to take the 1. offer.

Why?

I'm a webdev and I love building websites. This company build apps using hyped (at the moment) technologies so if something go wrong then You'll find new job easily (I'm getting job offers which requires angular/backbone/cordova experience all the time)

On the other hand, IT security is trending niche, which can be more stable than web development (where market is really huge and dynamic).

But hey, in the end, it's up to You and You should choose wisely what suits You best.

ofcapl_··on The OnePlus 2 pushes the boundaries of how cheap a flagship phone can be
I have lumia 735 and battery lasts here for 3-4 days (if 3G internet and WiFi is off)
ofcapl_··on The OnePlus 2 pushes the boundaries of how cheap a flagship phone can be
I don't want to start here any flame war or something, but that's the main reason why I've switched to Windows Phone OS - for 100$ - 150$ You've got the system that runs like a charm (I'm not smartphone power user so all apps I need are available in Windows Store)
ofcapl_··on Ask HN: How did you discover Hacker News?

there You go: http://shouldireallyworkforfree.com :)
ofcapl_··on Ask HN: What phone do you use?

ofcapl_··on Should I REALLY work for free?
thanks ;)

Nokia Lumia 735
