developerdannyon Chris, Nat and Satya's Calldeck Regarding Microsoft and GitHub

How can you expect a webapp to work with javascript disabled?

developerdannyon Japan sets goals for companies to prevent deaths from overwork

This made me chuckle. Japan is the most unproductive Asian market of current times, because instead of working to get work done (ie being productive) they work to pretend to get work done. It's somewhat ironic that their culture of faking hard work, is actually killing people from overwork. I'm struggling to believe it.

developerdannyon How Microsoft stole my code and then spit on it

Not sure why his sexuality has any relevance?

developerdannyon Growing a Time Tracking Software to $316,000/Month

The company I work for uses this software, only the CTO finds the overarching surveillance super duper creepy, and refused to subject us (the employees) to the screenshots.

Hubstaff should not have included that as a feature, as many others have commented, it's too invasive. I am lucky to have a CTO that considers employees peace of mind and comfort on the job. The time tracking features are great, the surveillance, not so much.

developerdannyon Life as an entrepreneur can be a tough and lonely ride

I don't like that it says 'Always meet friends of the same gender'. As a male, I want to be able to meet female friends as well. Why is it limited by gender?

developerdannyon Ask HN: How do you keep track of your notes at work?

Bear is great for organising notes. The style of #projects/open-source/react for example makes it really easy to be as broad or direct as necessary. Makes finding notes where you're not entirely familiar with the content much easier.

They are supporting android. There is an Amazon Video app for android. You just have to use the 'Amazon Underground' app to install it. I use it all of the time.

developerdannyon Show HN: Nebula – Alarm clock where you grow stars while you sleep

Some feedback: on my mobile device, the website logo intersects with the LinkedIn icon. Other than that, I can see myself using this app from now on!

developerdannyon WikiTribune – Evidence-based journalism

Since when was the independent not a credible news source? Genuine question.

developerdannyon Caterpillar found to eat shopping bags, suggesting solution to plastic pollution

By squishing loads of bugs on some plastic. Reminds me of the playground!

developerdannyon Tesla voluntarily recalls 53,000 cars due to faulty parking brakes from supplier

developerdannyon Next.js 2.0

it uses JSX which allows you to use HTML in JS :-)

developerdannyon Ask HN: Angular 2 vs. ReactJs

React is a view layer. It's not a fully-fledged viewer like Angular. React pretty much renders JavaScript as HTML. That's all it does. Angular offers a LOT more, within the MVC ecosystem. It offers controllers, components, services, singletons, http, dependency injection, and a lot more.

They do not compare because they do not offer the same functionality in anyway.
