sorich87··on Getting to Bootstrap v4
It's the term @mdo used in other issues like https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/issues/16913 "Bootstrap 3 is no longer being officially developed or supported."
sorich87··on Unrest in Gabon leads to Internet shutdown
What about others with a "real" democracy, like Benin, Botswana, Ghana?
sorich87··on Show HN: Intro.js v2.3.0 – Step-by-step guide and feature introduction
Thank you very much. I'll investigate the issue.

Bootstrap Tour author here. Thanks for the feedback. :) Do you, by any chance, still have your tour code from when you used Bootstrap Tour. I'm very interested in learning more about this issue and eventually fixing it.

FYI, Bootstrap Tour also has the "element highlight" feature. It's called "backdrop".

sorich87··on My experience being a developer with no developer community
Have you tried working remotely ? I have faced a similar situation from 2006 to 2014: small city (even if the biggest in the country) in a small country (Benin) in West Africa, and I had been working remotely. I didn't participate in a community, but I least I had good wages (by US and Western Europe standards, which is a fortune here).
sorich87··on Netflix Is Now Available Around the World
How can I access HBO globally? I see at the bottom of their website "HBO NOW is only accessible in the U.S. and certain U.S. territories where a high-speed broadband connection is available."
sorich87··on Stephen Wolfram is livestreaming a Wolfram Language demo
Just FYI, some of us don't have flash installed to save battery life, not because we want to feel good...
sorich87··on The Snubbing of Africa by the World
I'm african and live in Africa, and I'm not sure I relate with what you wrote. If I want to learn something I just go and learn it from all the resources available on the Internet, in books, etc. If I want to build something, I build it. I'm not sure why we have to wait for someone else to educate us?
sorich87··on Chalkboard drawings frozen in time for 100 years discovered in Oklahoma school
I think this is correct. I remember using a version of this as you described, in primary school (it may have been simpler, my memory is quite fuzzy).

I'm 27 years old from West Africa.

sorich87··on How I'm using Twitter to acquire 100 uniques a day for my startup
I'm very interested by the follow-up post, but there's no email subscription on your blog. :(
sorich87··on PayPal releases Kraken, Node.js framework
Neither underscore nor lodash use a for loop. Both use the native Object.keys when available. underscore uses native Array#forEach and lodash uses a while loop. So only lodash forEach is actually faster.

lodash is the only one to be performance focused. underscore always uses the native methods when possible.

Support for plugins is high priority!

It will be per install. I just put that price as a baseline. It will be adjusted depending on the needs and use cases. If you would like to talk about it in depth, shot me an email.

sorich87··on Frontend: The web visual editor
Thanks. I'll fix that bug.
sorich87··on Frontend: The web visual editor
Well, it's not really an introduction video. It's a video showing me building a contacts management app from start to finish. I plan to make a proper intro video later. As a one man project at this time, it's a little tricky to prioritise. There are so much things to do: adding new features, fixing bugs, creating a proper website, creating documentation, etc.

The goal is to allow make the whole development process, from prototyping to deployment, easier.

It's AGPL. The commercial licenses are for people or companies who may want to modify it without releasing their modifications back to the community. If they don't want to contribute their code, they will at least contribute financially.

sorich87··on Frontend: The web visual editor
Thanks. I'm trying to keep it simple, fast and extensible.
sorich87··on Frontend: The web visual editor
A shameless plug for my own similar open source project with an already functional version http://www.brickseditor.com/. It uses Bootstrap for the layout but there are plans to support other frameworks. It's built on AngularJS. I'm currently working on it full time. Maybe there could be some way we could collaborate if this Kickstarter isn't successful?

sorich87··on I didn't get into YC – here's my project
You should put an emphasis on face-to-face on your homepage IMHO.
sorich87··on I didn't get into YC – here's my project
Did you consider doing the same for code reviews?
sorich87··on I didn't get into YC – here's my project
This is interesting! Why didn't you put simple words correction (as in the homepage) instead of the user having to retype the whole sentence in the exercises?
sorich87··on Riot.js – A 1kb client-side MVP framework
- 1kb + jQuery is bigger (or almost the same size) as the other ones without jQuery (except Ember.js).

- Comparing template engines only (with the riot solution having less features) doesn't give a complete picture for comparing speed. There are dozen of other parts to make a web app. The template is only a small part. Benchmarks aren't even a good way to compare speed. It's how the user feels when using the resulting app and interacting with the UI that matters.

- TodoMVC is a very small app for comparing productivity. E.g. your router implementation doesn't take into account IE bugs, and researching such bugs instead of using a proven solution can be less productive.

I agree with you that modular and maintainable web apps can be developed with jQuery only, and even plain JavaScript only. I dislike, as much as you do, "Backbone developers", "AngularJS developers", "Ember.js developers", etc. who can use only one framework, can't properly structure an app without using a framework, and claim that the framework they use is the only good one to solve any problems and build any type of app.

A good developer should be able to choose the proper solution for a particular problem. There's no one size fits all solution for every problem.

sorich87··on Riot.js – A 1kb client-side MVP framework
This looks like hate speech:

> Current frameworks persuade false beliefs with shiny websites and finely crafted marketing without transparent, scientific analysis. They solve hypothetical problems and cause new problems instead. Unfortunately, large communities are dealing with irrelevant issues.

You're telling jashkenas (indirectly) that he "persuade false beliefs", "without scientific analysis", that he's solving "hypothetical problems" and "dealing with irrelevant issues" and plenty of other things like that... and what response do you expect from him?

> I was hoping you were closer to a scientist.

You already told him he's not a scientist, see above.

P.S.: I don't follow any "religion". I use framework or plain JavaScript depending on the project, and I find it sad when anyone promotes their solution as the only good one.

sorich87··on Apps, made better by everyone
The FAQ says otherwise about the IP...

> To do this, Assembly must keep and manage all intellectual property derived from Assembly apps. In exchange for that ownership, we give you perpetual income based on the extent of your contribution to all projects you work on.

sorich87··on Ask HN: BigCo vs Freelancing.. and then Startup
No. You can presell at a lower price though. The objective is to take cash even if smaller than what you would charge if the product was already built. If people can pay and wait for the product, it means it really solves a problem for them and your chances of succeeding are much higher.
sorich87··on The Secret of iOS 7
I don't agree with everything the OP said, but it seems like you're criticising for the sake of it.

The OP is speculating about the future and the flaws you cite are valid now, but will they be valid in the future? What prevents iOS from getting improved multitasking in the future? Phone/pads don't have enough RAM or cheap storage now. What prevents them from getting that in the future?

The OP wrote "Jump forward in time to a year from today.". You're trying to see fanboyism where there's none (or at least not as much as you want to believe).

If Canonical could promise something similar to what the OP described with that famous Indiegogo campaign, don't you think it may be possible for Apple to do that for the next iPhone/iOS release?

sorich87··on Building a Software Company in Rwanda, 3 Years Later
What's the difference between an american provider and an european one from an african perspective? Neither is local. You seems to be putting all non-american countries in the same basket.
sorich87··on Bootstrap 3 RC1
If it were a bunch of separate modules you could individually include and use as a template for your own style, you could actually use the parts you need

Version 3 is very modular. You can compile the LESS files yourself and include only what you need.

sorich87··on Introducing Battle Hack
In fact, almost all the World was forgotten, they have only Europe and USA cities. :(
