kissmdon Ask HN: Why aren't devs making desktop apps any more?

i would like to hightlight a precious insight of phtrivier:

"But they have chrome on their computer (it came preinstalled, and they need it for Facebook), so at least you get a chance to grow your user base if you manage to put a link to your website in your facebook feed, or, if they're high-tech users, as an ad on the top of their google search result (also knows as "the internet".)"

I've spent half of my career in java so far: the terms, structures and patterns you learn and understand will accompany you through your life. But you must deep dive for every single word you encounter.

yes, but generally all points are true, needs only refinement...

kissmdon Ask HN: What are the hottest startups related to beer / brewing?

http://brewfactory.org/

"Full-Stack Homebrew with IoT and Node.js" a blog post about: https://blog.risingstack.com/brewfactory-full-stack-homebrew...

kissmdon Ask HN: How much job hopping is acceptable?

what about an unpaid leave?

if they cant manage that, that is a great red flag when you need to explain your quit.

kissmdon Many timezones, one team – how do you stand up?

we have teams in UK (-1), Hungary and China(+6), so basically the same setup.

We do standups in UK morning so EU members have a morning standup and China members have a 'day closing' standup: "today i did..., tomorrow i will begin with ...".

works like a charm.

kissmdon Ask HN: Is it time to give up, or is it time to push on?

But frankly: 3 devs * 5 months and you have nothing? This is a no go for every investor, i am sure.

kissmdon Ask HN: Is it time to give up, or is it time to push on?

postpone.

get some money in the old way. if it is still in your head after 6-8months and dont let you sleep, you can still continue.

kissmdon Ask HN: How do I get better at delegating?

this is really easy: define goal, context and measurement. assign to dev. discuss with dev if needed. check and collect on ready.

if he is a good developer this is enough for him.

And for you? you are delegating, you have nothing to do about that fking task. except answering questions and collecting results.

Forget it. And if it comes back to your mind forget it again. Until the dev comes to you with a question or with a result.

kissmdon Ask HN: Startup Idea

I don't like the even split either. if I have twice as many votes than you, why would you get the same money?

kissmdon Ask HN: Startup Idea

in my ideal system voting strength would be scaled through donation amount: if you donate more, you have more points to vote with. the scale is not linear, lets say logarithmic or at least closer to that.

kissmdon Ask HN: What open source project to master?

http://www.dotproject.net/ had a very good structured php source. I have learned a lot from it to be a better java developer. back in the old 2004's...

kissmdon Ask HN: Where did you hang out while HN was down?

i was... working. such a shame.

kissmdon Ask HN: Suggested backend(s) for JavaScript MVC tutorial?

sry for the late answer.

you don't even need to run apache or a node.js file server for this.

just put your responses into files on a relative path according to your request. eg: api/product/31.json api/product?orderby=name api/product?orderby=price

so if you have a demo webapp just package the static data with your app and redirect/configure api calls to the service in the live app

kissmdon Ask HN: Suggested backend(s) for JavaScript MVC tutorial?

if static data is enough, you can simple place it to files and serve as simple http
