rip747··on Some Practical Thoughts on Suicide
What about the thoughts of how much better people's lives would be without you. I've have too many nights where I've just sat there in the dark thinking how much better life would be for everyone around me if I wasn't here. I've gotten over it though medication and therapy and still chug along, cause frankly, I've got too much stuff _I_ want to accomplish before death. I guess this is why I don't have or want but a select few people that are close to me in my life.

taking your own photo doesn't seem to work on Android.
rip747··on C to Java Translation. Automatic, Complete, Correct. Free for Open-Source.
it's very kind of you to translate open source projects for free. I personally think you should give that more attention rather then just an italic sentence at the bottom of the page.

https://github.com/cfwheels/cfwheels - Rails ported to CFML

was on this for a while. learned alot from the awesome team.

https://github.com/rip747/cfml-liquid - CFML Port of the Liquid Templating language

always wanted liquid available for CFML so I put my time where my mouth was and did it myself. learned a ton and had an awesome time doing it.

rip747··on Carnival: An unobtrusive, developer-friendly way to add comments to any site
You would think they would have at least some sort of copy on site explaining deeper about what this is and the benefits of using it... i see nothing. All I can see is that this is some sort of comment thing, great. Right now, if I wanted comments on a site I would integrate Disqus.
rip747··on StackNotes
what advantages does this hold over using a central git repository or gists via github.

rip747··on Google purges bad extensions from Chrome
I don't understand why you can't block (or lockout) certain permissions for extensions. If an extension requests permission to browsing history, you should be able to install the extension by deny it access. this is the same problem that I see on Android.
rip747··on List of April Fools' Day Announcements
it very well could:

CFWheels.org - https://github.com/cfwheels/cfwheels

and no, this isn't a joke. Full disclosure: I worked on and LOVE this project.

awesome! railscasts.com is _the_ place for the best tutorials. welcome back ryan
rip747··on Viking Code School
middle class is all relative to salary and location. if you're making $50K a year and living somewhere in North Dakota, then yes, you're probably well above middle class. But making $50K and living in LA, well, you're in poverty.
rip747··on Viking Code School
"Participants will need to complete a binding job search agreement and must be willing to relocate for a job if they reside outside of selected cities."

Really? So basically you have no choice but to relocate if they can't place you in a job where you live.

Also, they never say what type of programming job they can give or if you have a choice on accepting the job or not. what if you graduate and they get you a job across the country that paying $50K a year? do you have to accept it or pay the tuition fee?

also the curriculum posted on the site, isn't that detailed on what you will learn.

rip747··on A Primer for Building Single Page Applications with React
So does mean I can start sporting a mullet and bell-bottoms to work to code in VB?
rip747··on A Primer for Building Single Page Applications with React
it's funny how for years i heard how bad CFML was because of mixing in logic and presentation in custom tags. now for some reason react makes this cool. we've come full circle.
rip747··on Cluck for iPhone – Never Miss a Text Again
you might want to explain that better on the site. at first glance, I had no idea what this did or the benefits. only after I scrolled through all the frames did I have some what of an idea.

personally I don't see that reason for having to scroll to find more information. you only have 3 frames. i would have them all on the landing page so that the usage of the product becomes more clear.

rip747··on Show HN: Gosms – Your own local SMS gateway powered by Golang
that's really nice that you already have support for multiple devices. really awesome project.
rip747··on Documentary looks back at origins of the computer-games industry
i would love to see a modern day version of this list.

off the top of my head I think some of the names on it would include John Resig, David Heinemeier Hansson, Yehuda Katz

rip747··on Starvation Based Chemotherapy: A Novel Approach for Cancer Treatment [pdf]
Can someone explain to me what is exactly meant by starvation in the article? Does it means that you don't go without any food for a number a days? Restrict your calorie in take to only 600 throughout the day? Only eat a single meal at night while fasting throughout the day? There really any specifics that I can see.
rip747··on Gogo injects false SSL certificates for google.com domains
that funniest thing is the comment from David Aronchick about midway down:

"@__apf__ i love that people are trying to explain to you what's going on - do you folks know who she is? :)"

So I'm like, who is this girl? I've never heard her? What's the big deal with people taking guesses about what is going on?

Then I check her profile on twitter:

Engineer & usable security researcher. Google Chrome security team.

Yep... sometimes when you throw your two cents in, you get hit in the head with a quarter.

rip747··on Ask HN: What was your biggest fuckup of 2014?
my marriage :(

I honestly don't know what more I could have done. You can give 1000% and keep pushing forward, but if the other person isn't giving anything and keeps putting you two steps back, there really isn't any hope in salvaging.

rip747··on Santa, I'll be 55YO in a few days. All I want is a better job. Thanks.
That is why i'm working to get all the certifications I can to become a full time DBA (database administrator). For some reason companies want young programmers, but old time database administrators. I guess when it comes to data integrity, experience and being stuck in your ways counts more.
rip747··on CSRF in Doorkeeper OAuth2 gem
that is a great idea. why hasn't any browser done this?
rip747··on You Don't Need JQuery
Actually I think the biggest reason to use jQuery is the plugin ecosystem. Think about it... if you want to do _anything_ there is a jQuery plugin already written to do it.
rip747··on You Don't Need JQuery
You hit the nail on the head.
rip747··on Farewell, Dr. Dobb's
Personally I would do like RailsCasts.com and ThatGuyWithTheGlasses.com (now ChannelAwesome.com), two sites I frequent, did... offer pro accounts.

Pro accounts could:

1) remove all advertising from the site. 2) have access to content early like drafts of upcoming articles 3) have access to revised or updates to articles 4) allow people to recommend articles

the list could go on, you'll probably think of a thousand things that I couldn't since I'm not in marketing.

rip747··on You Don't Need JQuery
rule of thumb: if you don't think you need to use jQuery, use jQuery anyways.
rip747··on Dolphin Progress Report: November 2014
i was into listening to the commentary more then i was watching the speedrun. ever speedrun i've seen never has commentary so you don't know what the heck the runner is doing. it was really kewl knowing what the thought process was in pulling these off. Awesome find!
rip747··on Supersonic: New UI Hybrid Framework – Ionic, AngularJS, Cordova
will you provide the shortcuts that you were using in the demo for atom?
rip747··on Wire – Modern Communications Network
how is this a Skype killer? Not for nothing, but for $2.99 a month I can anywhere with Skype. There is no information on the site about pricing, coverage or restrictions.

Maybe I'm not the majority of Skype users, but I use Skype as a replacement for a second phone in my office. I'm not using it as a messager, picture/video uploader or whatever else this thing does, again, I'm using it as a low cost phone line.

From what I see on the website, I can see this competing with SnapChat, Instagram or whatever other messaging client, but not Skype.
