The author of "you don't know js" successfully crowdfunded on kickstarter

Digital Ocean.

This is great news. I learnt JavaScript from MDN first and it was a great resource. Still use it almost everyday as a reference, would love to see it grow.

I am working on learnmapp[1].

What? Inspired by Kamran Ahmed's roadmap to becoming a web developer[2], learnmapp lets anyone create and share roadmaps for learning any topic/subject.

Why? Everytime I want to learn something new, the biggest hurdle I face is to find where & how to start and what to learn next. So with this tool, I want to make it easier for beginners to find and follow a roadmap to learn better.

When? Will launch, optimistically, by this weekend.

Also, it'll be free and the code will be available on github.

Thanks for the informed reply!

It's for me, not for you. Opinion not generalised assumption.

I don't know how to thank you for such a perfectly detailed and cited answer. This is going to help me a ton! As of now I don't have any questions as I am just starting out, will hit you up for sure if I have any, thanks a lot again!

Not having a wallet option is a deal breaker.

Cashless payments is very popular amongst youth here and majority of us college students don't have a functional bank account which makes us either carry our parents debit cards or our parents "Paytm" us (yes, it's become a verb here) our monthly pocket money.

Regardless of that, there is still a very poor adoption of cashless modes of payments by street hawkers and kirana stores. And many high revenue businesses I have seen going directly for card POS systems like mswipe etc as wallets have some monthly limits and high fees for transferring to bank account. So the competition for tez is with physical card swipes and seeing the overall internet connection health even in the cities, it's a pain to use apps to pay majority of the times.

That's not an useful or informed reply.

I am probably too young and uninformed but would love if somebody could enlighten me more about "Ted Nelson" because after watching his videos and reading about him on wikipedia and from other sources, I find a little difficult to understand the fan following he has in the form of comments on his videos or in this thread.

In the video he claims to be the first one to imagine a lot of things in his era, very novel to information science which unfortunately he hasn't been able to materialize yet and from the tone he claims all of the above makes me a little uncomfortably skeptical. IMO, nobody is ever first to imagine anything, historically great ideas have simultaneously popped up into quite a few heads and claiming that you were the first doesn't show a healthy state of outlook.

I love programming in elixir but I would suggest sticking to go for the sheer no frills faster to prototype code experience you get in python. Go has some great official learning resources and also don't forget to check out Derek Banas' go in one video on YouTube.

What has been your experience with gin? How do you use it in your application?

I partly agree with you. Banning ICOs will affect lots of potential disruptive and genuine initiatives. Albeit, it also safeguards the people's hard earned money, which majority of them are going to lose out on. IMO, education and liable regulations for the benefit of both the parties is a much better option, but to speak in favour of a governing body, is a lot more tedious.

What is your preferred channel of communication with the references and what generally you ask about the candidate?

Respecting your time, if you could explain how you go about asking for references and what generally you ask about the candidate?

The UI on mobile looks great, really clean job!

I have a question, does it also index submissions which never make it to the main show page?

Also, shameless plug : I am hosting an event inspired by ShowHn in Hyderabad, India ( showhyd.com )

I was starting to build something similar but your execution seems better, thank you!

1am to 5am

My friend and I built a safety bracelet for women which had a GPS, GPRS chip and an inbuilt pepperspray which when sprayed triggered an alarm to volunteers nearby through the app.

Google is really good at what it does but I absolutely agree with PG that it's not enough. And another startup coming along doing almost the same thing a little better is no good either.

I rather believe, smaller and more niche search engines like zomato(for restaurants in india) etc would get better of google very soon. Like, imagine a search engine for online learning resources with filters like beginners/intermediate/advanced, books, courses, etc; that would be so much better than what google has to offer right now given it indexes a lot of quality resources.

Assuming p2p, if the person is not in my contact list, then say it out to him/her. If s/he is, then whatsapp him/her the (further) details s/he needs. If I am in a professional setting, I just give my card.

I find this to be much much 'user-friendly" than any existing or possible app/software solution and call me a oldie but handing out a card makes me proud of sorts.

Edit : I apologize if this doesn't answer your question.

Also because some of us absolutely needed a break from java.

Agreed.

Kotlin's taken over HN.

Lack of which security measures might lead to this?

That's not an helpful answer either

The article points out that The Idea Factory misses out on some key fundamental innovations from Bell Labs

Yeah, doarama. I am using chrome as well.

Awesome! Just a heads up, your ssl certificate shows invalid.

Thank you!
