zdam··on Orca – Live Programming Environment
Yes these are great to start with.

On osx the fastest way I found to get sound happening was to download and run SimpleSynth - orca detected SimpleSynth and I had sounds playing.

zdam··on Ask HN: How to manage my bookmarking habit?
You are a digital hoarder.

My advice: Delete it all. If you need it bad enough, you'll find it again. It's digital.

With 10K+ bookmarks you'll never organise it.

An alternative (but imo too hard with 10K+) use some kind of hoarding 'zen' approach - look at the link - if it brings you an emotional response - keep, else delete.

Can you tell us about your startup or put some info in your profile?
zdam··on Visual Studio Code 1.0
Today I used VSCode to write a slack bot in NodeJS.

The editor experience was smooth and fast, with fast intellisense.

I had NodeJS debugging working after 5 minutes reading a VSCode NodeJS page on the VSCode site and clicking a couple of buttons in the editor.

I had a very good initial experience and will use again.

Would still be interesting the see the implementation differences
zdam··on Angular 2 Core
Can you elaborate on 'specifying single states for your interactions and letting React rebuild the DOM'...

- this feels like it is a key conceptual difference but I'm not clear on what this means.

zdam··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (September 2013)
Australia

We are a Health company http://www.oceaninformatics.com/ whose leaders created the openEHR standard, which is slowly taking over the world as the best way to do Health computing.

We have built the oceanEHR platform based on the openEHR standard, and provide this platform to others to build systems, we also build our own products and systems on this platform.

----------------

We are looking for full-stack engineers, although positions would lean to front (Html + CSS + AngularJS + Javascript + c# + asp.net MVC + DB tech) and rear (c#, core platform code, web services, integration tasks, xslt, messaging protocols, NHibernate, DB tech) - You'll probably end up learning it all over some period. We just want strong engineers who can learn anything.

----------------

We are a distributed team, with folks in Darwin, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, UK That being said, for these development positions we are aiming for folks in Adelaide (will work from an office) or Brisbane (work from home with occasional face 2 face).

- working remotely is hard, please consider if you have the maturity to work unsupervised, and the ability to work in physical solitude without going crazy.

----------------

What your working week will look like:

- lots of new software development - some support of existing products and systems, bug fixing, enhancements - few meetings

So, if you are voracious learner, an initiative taking developer, likes hard stuff, cares about what they build, then we would love to hear from you.

Cheers,

Adam Webber

zdam··on Find the Google+ profile of people you follow on Twitter
I created an app that uses a different approach.

http://www.twittertoplus.com/

It relies on people you follow having used http://gplus.to to create a Google+ name that matches their Twitter name.

Currently it finds about 20% of the people you follow.
