sua_3000··on Ask HN: How to meet technical mentor?
thanks yeah, that's kind of the plan for now.
sua_3000··on Show HN: Pushup alarm – A React app that uses your webcam to count pushups
so it works by identifying the location of your face/head?
sua_3000··on Ask HN: Is net neutrality overblown?
The internet is seen by many to be a vehicle of freedom of speech, and even a basic human right. The outcry on NN is likely an pushback on the principle that it sets a dangerous precedent of privatizing a public service.
sua_3000··on Tesla makes quick work of Puerto Rico hospital solar power relief project
dup: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15544370
sua_3000··on Ask HN: Do you track your blood pressure?
nope.
sua_3000··on Ask HN: Do you feel bad conducting code reviews?
Yeah, and maybe that's part of the issue right now. There is only a tacit agreement on using public style guides
sua_3000··on Ask HN: Do you feel bad conducting code reviews?
This is a great point. I don't know why we aren't running the linter via the CI
sua_3000··on Ask HN: Is Vagrant dead or dated? Do people still use it?
As others have pointed out, use-cases for Vagrant still exist, but docker containers is a more popular VE for development. Docker very much still has stuff to work through (ex. docker storage) to believe there's going to be a hot new VE sooner rather than later.
sua_3000··on Uber: London drivers must use hybrid or fully electric cars from 2020
Good to see Uber executing on its vision and getting some positive publicity along the way
sua_3000··on Ask HN: What are some small scripts you use daily?
examples would be nice
sua_3000··on Ask HN: What are the other ‘Musk’ian problems?
hydroponic/vertical agriculture, energy optimized shipping, limiting deadweight loss within the US labor force, waste (like trash) management, developing a public-facing interface for human genetics, meal substitution, sleep substitution
sua_3000··on Algorithms
I've taken both Stanford's and Princetons Coursera courses, and powered through the MIT OCW, and I would say this evaluation is spot on.

If you have to pick only one go with the MIT OCW, and snag a copy of CLRS. I got mine from my local lib. and it gave me more than enough time to work through the problem sets from the mooc.

sua_3000··on How Eve unifies your entire programming stack
I feel like reconciling the divide between the client/server relationship is the next major opportunity for abstraction
sua_3000··on Ask HN: Good resources/sites for things every programmer should know?
very few devs I know take the time to read these: - https://docs.angularjs.org/api - https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/hello-world.html

Docs may be 20, 30, 40 pages long, and out of those only 10 of those may be applicable, but you really can't know until you read them all. Read the manual.

sua_3000··on Apple just had its first annual revenue decline since 2001
Thought it was an interesting antithesis to Tesla's announcement
sua_3000··on Smartwatch sales are tanking
had one and returned it. They don't provide much value beyond real-time notifications & a fancy pedometer.
sua_3000··on Ask HN: Examples of java web-apps?
also, was going to ask if you actually knew an example of an app calling an external api and then I happily found a walkthrough on your blog :) http://javaeeeee.blogspot.com/
sua_3000··on Ask HN: Examples of java web-apps?
awesome thanks so much!
sua_3000··on Italy’s rarest pasta
why is this in HN
sua_3000··on Show HN: Your Social Media Fingerprint (maybe NSFW)
Can someone explain how this is NSFW? Is it because it's scraping for logins which looks suspicious?
sua_3000··on Ask HN: Any direct experience using QA services
Used to run QA for a startup and inherited an outsourced Applause Team for our consumer and B2B app.

They would find bugs, but often very cosmetic things - not too many bugs in our business logic (and not because of the absence of bugs within our app). It also took way too much time to manage/write the test cases out (~20 hours) since we were building out features so fast.

I looked into Rainforest QA after them. They're product seemed a better fit, but had a bad experience when one of sales guys used there used "retarded" to describe our current qa strategy.

Eventually I decided to dedicate our resources into building a frontend and backend automated testing framework. This was a way better decision, which we actually built out pretty fast.

sua_3000··on Ask HN: What is the skillset for programmers at AI startups?
Boston-based :)
sua_3000··on Ask HN: When starting a new product build, how do you write out technical specs?
We use Epics in Atlassian's Jira. Each ticket is a feature story which together compose an Epic.

I have also seen Trello cards work well for recording specs
