sarhus··on Show HN: Humaans – the first HR app that won't make you tear your hair out
I'm not an HR person but it looks pretty look. I wonder why you came across that pricing model?

It does seem complicated, unless that's something you've researched? Have you tested with the usual "small/medium/large" company offering?

sarhus··on Starbucks, monetary superpower
Out of curiosity, the author mentions a possible alliance with another companies (McDonald for example) that would share savings, breakage, and data.

Anyone would know if this kind of idea is behind or maybe related to Facebook Libra?

sarhus··on Ask HN: Where to Register a Company When Being a Traveling Digital Nomad?
how about corporate tax?
sarhus··on Ask HN: From zero to IT career, what is the fastest path?
I’d say a safe bet is Javascript, there are plenty of online resources, good courses online and whatnots. Although it’s true that self learning is possible, I guess the _fastest_ way would be to join few coding meet-ups (there are many here in London and they are free) and learn together with other people.

They should keep a blog/github with their progress too. They basically need to prove they can “do”, having a CV saying “Javascript: 3 month online course” won’t work.

Are they prepared to move away from Barcelona or Vienna? Cities like London and Berlin are great place to look for a job in IT.

best of luck

sarhus··on Things I still can't do in November 2014
> 22. have all my accounting being done as a SASS.

In UK that's done by Crunch (http://www.crunch.co.uk/)

sarhus··on Show HN: RemoteCoder.io – A jobsite for remote programmers
A good job board is often a by-product of an active community. Look for Stackoverflow, Github, and even the now defunct 37Signals Jobs (rebranded in WeWorkRemotely).

If you could build a community around it, then companies will be happy to pay (and I've learnt this lesson the hard way!). Follow petercooper suggestions and best of luck!

sarhus··on UK Students: Win Tickets to the First Ever TechCrunch Disrupt Hack in London
what's the service you're using for http://showcase.hackcampus.io/ ?
sarhus··on Ask HN: How to learn design as a hacker?
It was a book with a good design, although it didn't help me learn much about design. The references were useful, but I would have liked to be a step-by-step guide (similar to Drawing on the right side of the brain, but for design) instead of a showcase of 'good' design and some side note tips.
sarhus··on Flux Application Architecture
Someone in the video asked a question about how AngularJS compares against Flux+React.

Anyone has a more detailed explanation?

sarhus··on One Week After Launching My Startup
Ok! But that's not an answer :) it's your press release. Looking forward to reading how "CodingCupboard got on TechCrunch" in a week!
sarhus··on One Week After Launching My Startup
How did you get a mention on TechCrunch?

Edit: I think CodingCupboard is nice idea, don't get me wrong, and in your first week you've got a mention on TechCrunch (startup dream, as you wrote).

Can you explain how it happened?

sarhus··on Flappy Space Program
Would you mind sharing how you've made the game?
sarhus··on Show HN: Coding Workshops Map
True, I didn't think about it!
sarhus··on My Coffee Setup
In italy you'll find a mocha pot in every house. Any expert in coffee could tell me the difference in taste if you'd use the mocha (using hot water under pressure) or the drip method?
sarhus··on I didn't get into YC – here's my project
English is not my first language, and I also find it useful. Maybe it could be worth having a look at other 'segments'( students learning english?)
sarhus··on I didn't get into YC – here's my project
why the email is "optional"? you should try to get emails instead, and build a mailing list of people interested in your product!
sarhus··on French Startups to Look Out For
Not in that list, but I think Smartmeup is quite interesting too: http://www.smartmeup.org/index.php?skip=1

sarhus··on From a Mailchimp email and Wufoo form to $25k in 3 months
It's a great story. Mind if I ask how did you get the first programmers to sign up?
sarhus··on London Startup Map
Andy, the only reason it's because I live here. I'm happy to see marks also in Bristol, Manchester, etc etc.

Also, the frontend code is on github, feel free to grab it, modify as you wish and add another city.

sarhus··on London Startup Map
It's probably a typo in the email or url field. I really need to put better validation messages. Sorry about that.
sarhus··on London Startup Map
yep, sure.
sarhus··on London Startup Map
Inspired by http://mappedinny.com/ here's a London version. It was built as an excuse to learn more about Backbone.js and play with MapBox's API.

VineRoulette currently requires Silverlight. Why?
sarhus··on Show HN: Our alternative to recruiter spam
Nice and interesting idea!

Out of curiosity, are you also working on Coderwall?

Your email ( from your HN profile) matches the twitter username of a Coderwall founder.

In your privacy page, you have "Appdillo, Inc. [..] provides this Privacy Policy" and the domain http://www.appdillo.com has a coderwall email address in it.

sarhus··on Is It Wrong To Use A Svbtle Theme?
I don't think it's wrong. You can consider it just a "theme", but why don't you make something more personal for your blog?

Even few changes would make it look different: move the left bar to the right. Get rid of the rounded buttons, change the font.

Make something unique, you just need a day to fiddle with your css and make it look yours.
