ramigb··on Racket v6.8
"MacBook Pro laptops with touch bars are supported" Could someone with knowledge kindly explain to me why this is mentioned? Isn't the support -for modern OS's- supposed to be for the OS layer and not the hardware directly?
ramigb··on Choose GitLab for your next open source project
I've been using Bitbucket for 3 years now and i absolutely love the fact that you can create private repos and have many tools available for free, highly recommended.
ramigb··on What the IBM Acquisition of StrongLoop Means for the Node.js Community
Just a question -might be dumb- is the merger of io.js and node.js which happened a couple of months ago related to this news in anyway? Anyways IMHO this good news and I hope it will make node.js much better, who knows maybe replace V8 with something even better.
ramigb··on Bootstrap 4 alpha
4 major versions and still not official direction support! that's why i use Foundation because it offers RTL support out of the box.
ramigb··on Exercise alone doesn't make you lose weight
As a programmer, I didn't move a lot and i ate all the wrong food, so o fcourse I've gained massive weight during the years I was 385lbs or 175 kgs at my peak. When i decided it was time to regain control over my life a month ago -4th of April- i weighed 370 lbs, today after 42 days i weigh 346 lbs, all i did was cut on sugar and walk a bit, no fancy diets or what so ever, although first week i've tried Atkins but i failed at keeping up with the strict rules of it, now my diet is low in carbs but mostly low in sugar.
ramigb··on Pony – High Performance Actor Programming
Looks very promising, hopefully there will be a strong community around it, imho communities make or break a language or a framework no matter how good the syntax or the features are.
ramigb··on GitHub under ongoing DDoS attack
Each time i hear about DDoS attacks i wonder why we don't have serious effective mitigation strategies even though there are brilliant computer scientists out there who always come up with very smart solutions, this is a genuine question and not a rhetorical one.
ramigb··on We are under attack
Thank you for your input, but 1. this is not a random link, 2. the explanation is all inside the link i posted, so why to be redundant? anyways, if i didn't care for a discussion i wouldn't post it at the first place and i wouldn't later ask why was i downvoted, thank you again for your opinion lucaspiller.

I would appreciate it if people who down voted my comment explained to me if it's because i'm wrong or because they don't understand what i am trying to say or just for the heck of it :).

I think they need to use something similar to this ...

ramigb··on Reasons not to use Facebook
From an avid FB user who spent three hours a day to someone who has his account deactivated for more than a month, that is how much convinced i am that FB is nothing but utter garbage and i just had enough with it.
ramigb··on What Microsoft is this the Altair Basic of?
Could someone please rephrase the title of the article to me? thank you.
ramigb··on Fuck It, I'm Going Back to Firefox
Google employees are in the air tonight.
ramigb··on Why aren’t we using SSH for everything?
There is something about Finnish products that make them very strong, Nokia, SSH, Rovio.
ramigb··on We believe we may be infected with malware
The source says this temp page is made by Microsfot Word, i am pretty sure there is a clue here but i can't sniff it, and i am being serious.
ramigb··on My Previous Startup Accelerator Is Bullying Me and Threatening Me
Very true, when i write about my bad or good experience i can reflect easily by reading what i wrote and learn faster, i also can know if i am "bullshitting" or saying the truth, if i keep the post and feel that yes i didn't change my mind after a couple of hours i publish it, or i delete it before publishing it.
ramigb··on My Previous Startup Accelerator Is Bullying Me and Threatening Me
Thank you for all your responses, this post got a really good attention which shows the power of hackernews and the community in here, which i follow on daily basis like most of you guys do, this has been a very tiring day and a very tiring week, this time could've been spent on a productive things from both parties, but sometimes foolish reactions and actions make people lose track of the most valuable yet illusional asset which is time.

I've updated my blog post to include a link to leaders response, i wish them no harm and i have no "beef" with them, i absolutely want nothing financial or logistic from them, the relation that we once had could never be mended sadly, but that doesn't mean i want anything bad to happen to them, i hope my next post on hackernews would be about something useful i've done, it's 12:27 am in Palestine so good morning to you guys and goo night to me.

ramigb··on Making Ruby Faster
backward compatibility?
ramigb··on Your friends are lying to you. For $10, I wont.
While this might be a good idea, but if you want the truth just post it to Reddit or Hacker News, those motherfuckers are brutal and won't take it easy on you, anyways, i wish you luck.
ramigb··on Ruby 2.2.0-preview1 Released
Never said it's a bad move, i love Rails and i love Ruby as well, it was just the first time i see a framework directly mentioned in a language changelog.
ramigb··on Ruby 2.2.0-preview1 Released
It's a "weird feeling" to see a framework mentioned in a language update! it shows you that like Python has "one obvious way to do things" Ruby has one obvious framework, i can't see PHP 6.0 released and codeigniter/cake/any other framework mentioned in the release, correct me i'm wrong!.
ramigb··on Show HN: Upmin – An Admin Framework for Ruby on Rails
I love it, great job guys, one suggestion though, mixing the admin logic and customisations with the model isn't a great idea, some models are already fat models, so maybe creating separate model config files would be better, thank you.
ramigb··on Y Combinator to recruit more black entrepreneurs
I agree, but them down voters don't agree.
ramigb··on Form validation with AngularJS and Rails
It's funny that just today i added "Make activerecord errors visible" to my todos lol, thank you.

-spelling.

ramigb··on I'm 28 and frustrated – can I still have programming career?
I commented on a comment in this thread, but anyways, i just want to tell you, go for it! it's NEVER too late.
ramigb··on I'm 28 and frustrated – can I still have programming career?
tl;dr just go for it, don't care for the requirements, impress them.

Why i'm saying this? well ...

I don't have a CS degree, matter of fact i dropped out of university, i got hired three times as a developer in three different companies with a very good salary (compared to Palestine standards, since i live in Palestine), i switched jobs because i hated working for someone, so the last job i quit i decided to start my own startup, and now i am into a lot of programming projects.

I program in Ruby, JavaScript, PHP, C#, ActionScript, Java, and i play with other languages, i taught my self all that, so my friend you can do this and even do better, jut believe in your skills.

ramigb··on [dead]
I have a 13" MBP late 2013, with specs maxed out (i7,16gb,1tb), the only thing i hate about it is the low graphic performance, i can't play any game with this shitty intel graphics, if this laptop had a solid graphics card like the one with the 15" model it'll be the only machine i recommend to anyone who wants a solid machine with an OS that combines the productivity software (music, photo and video editing) and programming capability of unix (i spend most of the time writing commands in the terminal)
ramigb··on GoTenna – Send and receive messages even when you don’t have service
That seems wonderful, maybe in the future this could have an SDK where developers could use the device for something other than messaging, for example long range car remote! or any type of long range RC.
