This is required so that you can add the items on the video. You know adding yourself a moustache. It requires a lot of calculations where to place the moustache, and the moustache can't be lagging.

The smartphones don't have this amazing ability, this is why it can run on slower phone systems.

Could someone please explain what improvements can we get from SSD for web applications ?

I know it would read files faster, but in most cases reading a couple of PHP files is not such a big improvement.

My guess would be maybe databases ? Read time improvement for MySQL ?

I have the 7$ VPS, here is the result:

  _04/17/2014 - VMPLAN - DATACENTER - OS - AUTHOR_
  ```
  CPU model:  AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 4284
  Number of cores: 2
  CPU frequency:  3000.000 MHz
  Total amount of RAM: 2048 MB
  Total amount of swap: 128 MB
  System uptime:   14 days, 13:31,
  I/O speed:  75.4 MB/s
  Bzip 25MB: 7.44s
  Download 100MB file: 13.0MB/s
  ```

I still prefer OVH.com http://www.ovh.com/us/vps/vps-classic.xml

for $7 you get: 2 cores 2GB RAM

for 10$ you get: 3 cores 4GB RAM

They don't have SSD, but SSD doesn't do everything, I prefer more ram.

EDIT: If some of you don't know OVH, it's because its new in America, but its not some cheap company, it's a European company that is very successful there. And just recently created a datacenter in North America. (I used to live in France, and have known them for some years).

I have used Kohana a few years ago, but now I moved on to Laravel.

it's true that it has fallen behind, we'll see if Ohanzee will do something interesting. But there are so many PHP frameworks, and so few that are successful.

I don't like the graphics (I haven't installed the game, just looking from the screenshots).

The graphics look like it was something created in 2002 using Paint Shop Pro.

I'm not a designer, but in order for me to install a game, the design needs to look appealing.

you are really mentioning Eclipse as a pretty IDE or is it a joke ? :P

Netbeans is actually my favorite IDE for PHP development.

JetBrains isn't free, and for PHP I do prefer Netbeans anyways.

I did the same. It worked well. Do not ask for a pay cut, one thing you must consider is that you might need to become contractor. My company made me a contractor because I was working out of state and it was easier for them to keep me as contractor.

A contractor is self employed, and you actually pay a lot more taxes (and the company pays less).

Responsive Design.

Writing that from scratch isn't easy.

And then a few things I save time on: grids buttons (in case I don't want to bother making my own) modal popups (they are easy to use) forms

well if you have 5 porsches, 7 ferraries in your garage, then yes 99k for a game that you can't buy anymore is worth it!

130k here, I feel lower middle class.

I can't buy a house in NY. I'll have to move upstate for that. I have only one car, second car would be a little bit hard.

I use skype for two things:

- chat

- videochat

I never just use audio chat. I video chat even with my coworkers.

I have a friend software enginneer in France, came out of the same school as me.

I make 7400$ / month, he makes 2600 euros.

But he has health care paid for, 5 weeks vacations, 35 hour work weeks.

DJ5ixikFW2ZhZm9tqdMDhtjZtcJ3fx4EHA Thanks so much!

Merry Christmas to you too :)

yes, I think its less than 100$.

If I take a plan for me and my wife, the cheapest plan is 660$, which makes it 7920$ a year.

I also have a child, but I can take a plan just for her, which would be 280$.

Quick question, I'm in the same middle class, and am self employed. I'm thinking of not having an insurance at all, and if I get really sick long term, I'll switch to an Obama care insurance. Is this something possible ? (now that they can't check for preexisting conditions). Or will I get screwed somehow.

I'm 26 so I went to the doctor maybe twice in 6 years, I only want coverage in case of emergency.

PS: I can pay 5000$ out of pocket if needed.

HN does not hate PHP, .NET, VB, Java. Its just older languages and HN is about discovering new things, and working on cool new languages.

Even if PHP or Java aren't "cool", they are really nice to program with when you master them.

And its good to learn to quickly learn other languages. In 20 years Rails, Node or Mongo might not be there anymore, its good to not get "habits" in IT.

PS: Java has one advantage, you can create web/software and android apps with it. Mobile is pretty trendy right now. But it will take you a lot more time to learn then PHP.

There is no way I'm driving this in the US next to large SUV/Hummers.

It's nice, but if someone slightly bumps into you, you're dead :/

Dropbox. (Google Drive is not stable enough, and I have too many things on Google already)

One mistake I made with Dropbox is installing it on one of my linux servers, on my server I moved Dropbox folder, and it made Dropbox believe that I have deleted everything on my server. So it deleted most of my files, and recovering it was a mess. Even talking after talking with Dropbox support, I couldn't recover everything :(.

Looking for a better solution, but I need the cloud as I want to be able to access some of the files from my phone.

There are a lot of chrome extensions to improve Gmail UI. Most of them have the same features as these ones.

I went through your list of features, but didn't find anything I'd really be interested in. Not for me.

yep! Just got one a week ago, their pricing is cheap, and their servers are great.

colors for the map are bad :( My eyes are always thinking as white for land.

Oh nice, I was using rss of other people that did this themselfs, but know I might use this!

EDIT: Nevermind, this doesn't have rss!

you die.

I Love callbacks, wtf is wrong with you guys :'(

To be honest it doesn't look good.

I'm a windows user and like it. But I'm more likely to try elementary os then zorin. zorin's theme looks like another bad linux theme. The start menu looks ok, but that's pretty much it.

I use Netbeans for PHP and I love it.
