foobeer··on Stack Overflow is currently offline for maintenance
A lot of programmers may actually have to take a break and go outdoors today. It's the code monkey apocalypse!
foobeer··on Unix Commands I Wish I’d Discovered Years Earlier
Never knew about the "cal" command. I especially like that you can quickly look up a previous or future month/year. >> cal 3 1973 quickly shows a calendar of March 1973
foobeer··on Sails.js | Realtime MVC Framework for Node.js
This looks pretty awesome. I have experience with Python/Django. I have been wanting to give Node.js a spin and have been looking around for a good MVC framework with similar functionality of Django, Rails, etc. I am looking forward to giving it a try! I noticed during the demo it said it uses Express.js and refers to it as a good library. I haven't used Express, but it was my understanding that it is a web app framework itself. However, Sails isn't the first framework I've seen that says they use Express. For anyone with experience, what are the limitations, advantages, and disadvantages of using Express directly as opposed to something built on top of it like Sails? Also for anyone experienced with Meteor, how does Sails compare?
foobeer··on Nginx Is Taking Over the Internet
At least I now know to pronounce Nginx as "Engine X". Now I won't sound like a fool next time someone asks which web server I'm using.
foobeer··on Ask HN: What to wear to job interview for biz dev position?
A good rule of thumb is to dress the same level or one level up from the person you are interviewing with.

If you want to seem serious, but not overdo it, perhaps you could wear a jacket with no tie or a tie with no jacket.

foobeer··on Diary of how my game got to #2 in the iOS App Store
Great story, thanks for sharing! I would definitely be interested in hearing your full story from corporate developer to successful game developer.
foobeer··on Ask HN: Do you have side projects you want to sell?
I really like the site. I remember checking it out from your original Show HN and being really impressed. It seems like from the comments there is a need for a better place to buy and sell, but it seems like it goes away from the elegant portfolio look and feel of hoverboard.
