n0body··on Microsoft to release Android-powered Nokia X2 handset
it had already been developed, it would have made no sense for them to scrap it.
n0body··on Ask HN: I suck at technical interviews. How can I get better?
Same as you improve anything, practice. In this case that means do more technical interviews, apply for the jobs, even the ones you can't do/don't want to do. It's all experience and interview technique depends on that.
n0body··on Facebook Just Fired A Huge Shot At Cisco
Looks interesting. Where do I get one?
n0body··on The SSD Endurance Experiment: Casualties on the way to a petabyte
in my experience hdds have signs they're going to die soon, they go slow, click a lot, get smart errors, things get corrupt etc. where as with flash media it all seems fine, but suddenly isn't.

not that this is a rule, i've seen hdds fail instantly for no reason as well, and flash media throw a massive wobbler but still be recoverable. but in my experience this is not the normal behaviour.

but who cares as long as you have backups and a contingency plan?

n0body··on The SSD Endurance Experiment: Casualties on the way to a petabyte
840 pro, i have one, and a 830. good drives
n0body··on The SSD Endurance Experiment: Casualties on the way to a petabyte
this is the trouble with ssds, they just die. but they're fast before they do. but it's ok because everyone has backups right? i know i do, and raid1 just incase.

on a side note, glad i paid the extra cost for the 840 pro!

n0body··on Show HN: The Rap Test
stupid. i only know who kanye & eminem is, never heard of the others and i've been listening to hip-hop all my life. although, it's not this pop hip-hop that's currently in fashion.

get some real artists on there, then we'll talk

n0body··on The Dyslexic Programmer
I'm dyslexic and I write Perl everyday. It's no different to c/javascript/java. Except it's easy, and has the cpan
n0body··on Firebug 2.0
No one mentioned ie dev tools. I had to use them in ie 11, and I was very impressed. Firebug ftw though
n0body··on The Dyslexic Programmer
I got loads of animals in the jungle, but only cat, cow and crow. Anyway I don't think it affects my programming, or reading other peoples code skills. Maybe it takes more effort but I don't know any better
n0body··on Free SSL Certificate for Open Source Projects
Startssl give them for free anyway
n0body··on Ask HN: Who is the best programmer in the world right now?
me, because i said so
n0body··on Ask HN: Everyone loves my startup concept, why is no one using it?
these things piss me off, i click on it, and it doesn't say what it is or why i want it.

it should be right there at the top "nota - it's bacon for your computer" or whatever. instead i'm supposed to scroll and look at pictures and i still don't get it. looks to me like more effort was put into making a fancy design rather than an actual product, because if it was a product it'd be obvious what it was.

that would be problem 1 i suppose.

n0body··on Mojolicious 5.0 released: Perl real-time web framework
Different. Not better. Each has their strengths and weaknesses. Mojo has websockets, catalyst has excellent backwards compatibility, proven scalability and works well with large teams of developers. Although catalyst has more dependencies, but that comes with the featureset.

As for quick prototyping, they're both good for that once you know how to use them, and they both have excellent docs, although catalyst has been around for longer and has more deployments and realworld examples, which is always good.

Overall though, they're both constantly being improved, and competition is healthy, and it all depends in what you want, websockets, extra rapid prototyping and no deps, or reliability, support, large feature set, excellent scalability and a proven track record both in production and during development ;)

n0body··on A Defense for Perl
modern perl ftw
n0body··on What is your favorite part about being a software developer?
Money
n0body··on Firefox 29 sucks
i don't see what's wrong with it. same as before, only i can move everything around.

that said, some people don't like change, which is fine, it's what themes and extensions are for. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/classicthemer...

n0body··on Perl Cannot Be Parsed: A Formal Proof (2008)
That's how it's supposed to be. You need perl to parse perl. It's not an issue, it's a feature of the language being so flexible.

Simply solution is, k.i.s.s

n0body··on Ask HN: What web development language do you prefer?
Perl
