1qaz2wsx3edc··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (March 2015)
I'm not interested in the position, but I went over to mixmax.com and checked to see if you were using Meteor. It doesn't appear that you are. So, how/where are you using Meteor?

I'm glad to see that Meteor is appearing in these listings however!

1qaz2wsx3edc··on Chrome for Mac 64-bit Support
I had the exact same issue:

Oddly enough, chrome didn't want to auto-update to this, it was "up-to-date" at 38.x, even quitting and relaunching applied no change. Downloading a fresh `dmg` archive from https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/ applied the 64-bit update.

1qaz2wsx3edc··on Idea that intestinal bacteria affect mental health gains ground
There are some links/searches on the internet I don't want to click. This is one of them.

I have no problem with others looking at this, I think it's probably great, but for me this is where I nope out.

1qaz2wsx3edc··on Voice-elements
I was playing around with it and it's fairly unstable, playing a blank message ex: "", seemed to crash the engine, and playing large pieces of text also seemed to crash it, the only thing that resolved the issue was restarting chrome.

Speech Synthesis on OSX & Chrome is excellent, better than the native synthesis.

1qaz2wsx3edc··on Meteor hits 1.0
Currently none, but I think some of the things planned are: support, addons, SLAs, deployment, hosting, etc...
1qaz2wsx3edc··on Meteor hits 1.0
The data isn't reactively loaded in realtime, but Meteor itself is still reactive. What I mean to point out is that even if you're depending on say classic JSON APIs, the meteor app within itself can still do reactive-features (templates, local collections, etc). And depending how you implement things, you could still take advantage of push capabilities for your data from a legacy endpoint.

But yes, I agree, it's not ideal until a SQL adapter is available.

1qaz2wsx3edc··on Meteor hits 1.0
Not official but here is the a change log: https://github.com/meteor/meteor/blob/fb7466078ec5da90321bdc...

It's a bit light on details. I wouldn't say Meteor is 1.0 yet, but preparing for it. Also Worldwide Meteor day is Nov 6th, I anticipate a more formal announcement then.

I imagine they will so they can dominate the industry as a "standard" leveraging themselves above/against competitors. It would ensure they stay the lead in the emerging VR-industry.
1qaz2wsx3edc··on Show HN: Upmin – An Admin Framework for Ruby on Rails
> I'm reluctant to add asset pipeline

Consider using different/manifests layouts if you're concern is client-side. If it's compiling assets I think your concern is misplaced.

> admin panels tend to use large amounts of RAM etc

I don't think this is the case, or a huge concern depending on you're environment. Further, you could separate the apps into engines, they're great for this. TaskRabbit did a write up on this: http://tech.taskrabbit.com/blog/2014/02/11/rails-4-engines/

Personally however, I've normally roll out the app as one piece with active-admin, generically speaking most apps have little admin-specific logic to them, for example, it's normally something like: "Do <x> for user(s)", "Approve <x> content", the type of operations you do can easily fit under the simplistic nature of what active-admin offers. This isn't a catch all however, some applications require more of an integrative approach, in which case it's development as normal, bits of functionality injected here and there so-to-speak.

None of this is settling.

1qaz2wsx3edc··on Moving Atom to React
Especially after going full open source, I have a lot of respect for that change (http://blog.atom.io/2014/05/06/atom-is-now-open-source.html). Otherwise I feel it would of gotten stagnate. <3 githubbers
1qaz2wsx3edc··on Show HN: Free, anonymous coding interview practice
If someone asks me to code/problem solve in an interview these days, I don't even bother to try, I just pretend to try and answer the question to see their reaction, because by that point I've already lost interest in the position. It's the equivalent of a shit-test, so I like to turn the tables around and see how they react instead.

I do this for many reasons, one of which, is they obviously weren't interested enough in my talents to throughly research me before the interview to assess my skill-set, which means, they weren't that interested in hiring me to begin with. I don't want to work for someone who is just slamming through interviews for talent; I'll bow out. I want to work for someone who is specifically interested in working with me and understands my skill-set before hand. The second reason, I don't deal with these questions is that I don't like to be put on the spot without my normal working environment, I feel at a disadvantage and uncomfortable. Keep in mind most developers are introverts.

I consider a good interview to be about people; not technicals, which can be referenced/refered or looked up; they should provide a medium to see if the employee is a comfortable fit. If goals and motives align. To talk history and such.

1qaz2wsx3edc··on Inside the adult ADHD brain
I have a similair story, as I child I never liked taking meds or how it effected me, I refused to take a blood test one day and was removed from treatment, I'm now 26, recently I tried matcha (green tea powder) and found it to be much better then coffee as it's a stimulant & relaxant (no crash, very calming and alert). I also found as I got older it got easier to manage, it also left me with the ability to hyperfocus when I'm in the zone working.

1qaz2wsx3edc··on Atom Is Now Open Source
Agreed, amazing news. This is the announcement I've been waiting for. I've long been worried that with a closed source core, the editor would of fallen prey to the same issues that plague closed source editors. With that out of the way now, I'm excited for what atom will become.
