lukeholder··on When Is It Legal to Lie in Negotiations? (1991)
Whats the idea?
lukeholder··on Ajenti – Web admin panel
I agree webmin is fantastic and the UI it actually not that bad with a theme.
lukeholder··on WordPress for app development
ExpressionEngine? All all the cool kids are moving over to Craft CMS. The ExpressionEngine template parser is a mess of a find and replace engine while Craft uses Twig etc.
lukeholder··on Quickly – Giving email a mind of its own [video]
I see you are needing some design help on the modal windows etc. Are you interested in a designer coming on board? my email is in my HN profile ;)
lukeholder··on Introducing Swift
your trolling.
lukeholder··on Responding to the Explosion of Student Interest in Computer Science [pdf]
Could you please forward me jobs advertised that have the real possibility of "ridiculous amounts of money"? All the programming jobs I see are about 90k?

snapshot/restore doesn't allow applying new mappings.
lukeholder··on Choosing a Web Framework/Language Combo for the Next Decade
My guess will be he will eventually arrive at Ruby on Rails or Laravel.
lukeholder··on OS X Command Line Utilities
your welcome :) http://totalspaces.binaryage.com/transitions2
lukeholder··on Show HN: Paperstencil – cross between word processor and web form
Interesting concept. At our company we use MachForm (http://www.appnitro.com/)

It really is a php clone (but more powerful) of WUFOO (http://www.wufoo.com/) but no subscription needed.

lukeholder··on Static Site Generators
Wow, big list, I have tried a whole bunch of those but my favourite by far is Hugo using Go.

https://github.com/spf13/hugo

I don't know why but using a single binary is awesome!

lukeholder··on GitHub Is Your Resume Now (2012)
This made me laugh.

I'm imagining someone with massive open source projects pouring hours into open source tools and software that benefits thousand and storing it all in bitbucket while his recruiter is tossing his resume in the bin when he sees that on github he has only starred 1 repo "EugeneKay/git-jokes". lol.

lukeholder··on GitHub Is Your Resume Now (2012)
I assume he wants to validate the amount of hours he has carefully put into maintaining his public image on github.

I get that as an employer checking github and seeing the odd pull request or repo might be a signal that this person at least understands version control and the benefits of open source software - but i'm sure as hell still gonna read his resume and do a coding exercise/interview together.

lukeholder··on What if C++ looked more like Python or CoffeeScript?
I agree, would be an interesting to see the same experiment done for Go. Will have a stab!
lukeholder··on Atom Is Now Open Source
look like regular MIT licence no?

>Today, we're excited to announce that we are open-sourcing Atom under the MIT License

lukeholder··on 2048, success and me
but he didn't build a native app, he just wrapped a newly rewritten html/js version of it.
lukeholder··on Betty – English-like interface for the command line
me:~$ capital of australia

answer: Sydney.

hmm this is wrong, how to submit a fix for this?

Looking for remote work, on a team that uses git, does TDD, and is building apps not just websites.

lukeholder··on Webhook – demolishes Kickstarter target
> Can I self-host Webhook > No, but we get this question a lot and obviously want to provide it. Honest truth? We'd like to hire another engineer first. That way we can dedicate a resource to making it as good as our hosted solution. It's just not as simple as pushing to an S3 bucket.

This is a deal breaker for me and I suggest most dev shops working for clients.

lukeholder··on Lulzlabs AirChat: Free Communications For Everyone.
edit: maybe sexist is the wrong word? But for a project that wants "to build up our sense of community and stand up for our future and rights" the tone of the entire readme is overly sexualised and just unnecessary.
lukeholder··on Lulzlabs AirChat: Free Communications For Everyone.
it gets worse though: https://github.com/lulzlabs/AirChat/pull/6
lukeholder··on Lulzlabs AirChat: Free Communications For Everyone.
>I want to cyber my girlfriend (who lives 20 miles away) without having NSA agents fapping to it, can I use this for it?

>ofc, man. thou we require your girlfriend to deliver tits or gtfo. (sorry but it's needed to help us on the datamining of frequencies usage and transmission mode performance raw data through our Hadoop cluster of ARM servers, all those pix will be used for the datalink test.. err...derp)

This is sexist filth.

lukeholder··on Ask HN: Do you have a side project you want to sell?
want to build a version for craft :) ?
lukeholder··on [dead]
On twitter this is being ignored and not linked to, as to not draw attention to it. I suggest mods here do the same and just delete this post. These scumbags shouldn't get the attention.
lukeholder··on How I wrote Game Programming Patterns
Wow, this is the best insight into the struggles of writing a book I have read. I started a book and quit on the first real hurdle. This post really stirred up something in me - about finishing something for the first time in my life. Thanks for sharing.
lukeholder··on Sketch 3 released
very good replacement and deceptively advanced.
lukeholder··on Sketch 3 released
