the82nddoctor··on Ask HN: Too depressed to continue working. How do I get out?
First of all, I am so terribly sorry for your loss. I cannot begin to understand the pain you are going through.

I think you need to consider many things before leaving, screwing up deliberately to get fired might shut the doors at this company should you find yourself in better spirits down the road and wanting to return.

I think your father would want what's best for you. Think about that, think about the times you had, it's terrible that you lost your father, but think of all the happy times you had with him and hold on to those memories to pull you through.

I sincerely hope you feel better soon, and again, so sorry for your loss.

the82nddoctor··on What started your interest in development?
When I was a little kid in Venezuela, my dad got us our first computer for home, it ran DOS 6.1 and my mom couldn't get the commands in english. So I spent a few days writing a translation of it using batch files that would change "COPY" and "DEL" to "COPIA" and "BORRA". That got me hooked.
the82nddoctor··on Ask HN: jQuery plugins with awesome logos
Logoturn has a pretty good collection of logos accompanied with domain names, some are cheap, most are around $500.
the82nddoctor··on Social. Local. Mobile. solomo lomoso moloso somolo losomo mosolo
Social should always be Global and on every device possible. But I did love that part of the episode, it's so true to the current times.
the82nddoctor··on Ask HN: Is this sponsored weeklong "hackathon" actually exploitation?
Sounds like a company I used to work for, they had 2 managers for every developer. That usually leads for a terrible decision making process.
the82nddoctor··on Ask HN: Which service do you use to sell downloads?
I think Paystr is the way to go. They are new, but they offer a bunch more. Yes, they take a bigger cut than gumroad, but they offer a ton of services for your digital downloads, like support to your customers, if they have an issue, they call Paystr and they will resolve it, you do nothing. Also, if you sell enough, you can get paid THE NEXT DAY. Check them out at https://www.paystr.com. If you want to see them in action, go to http://www.joshuasring.com and try to buy the book, that's the checkout process. I love how the customer never leaves the site.
