uniacid··on Apple iPhone X 'End of Life' Predicted, Production Cuts Seen
Wow someone's drinking koolaid a bit much no? I would love to hear why you think that and also what was your previous model? I'm on a iPhone 7 Plus which I got in late 2016 and I don't see any reason or need to upgrade it to the X.
uniacid··on US Senate passes sweeping tax overhaul bill
> The next economic downturn risks unleashing something that no amount of money can control.

More like we'll be in such debt that no amount of tax increase will save us for decades? if you think some how people are going to suddenly revolt against the system then I wouldn't hold my breath... I didn't see anyone with pitchforks and torches back during 2008, I sure don't expect anything now from this lazy and increasingly misinformed and uneducated society.

uniacid··on Silicon Valley Software Engineer Salaries by Experience Level
Being a fellow South Floridian I feel your pain and I would say it sounds like you're being underpaid for the position you're in currently but that's the story of Tech in Florida I think we can all agree on that based on equal experiences hopefully?

In my own experience it's been pretty hit or miss as you can find very wide ranging salaried jobs but it's also dependent on location here as well, some areas might be better than others as far as where the actual wealth lies thus the big cities usually seem to hold more value and wealth, you might be able to get lucky and find something in between the big cities though.

Also cost of living in Florida is relatively low but it is also raising so it's not easy when you start off with a low base that should really be higher when you compare and contrast positions elsewhere... especially surprising in the government area where you think they would staff people at least with wages people can feel financially comfortable with and not just to be able to live week to week based on their paycheck.

uniacid··on Building a voice assistant to control music
Cool I was looking to do something similar with my Pi with the Google Voice kit essentially to be able to control your Spotify, this makes me want to take another look at it for general use without a Pi or Python :)
uniacid··on Show HN: I built a handful of Bootstrap 4 themes with an interactive code picker
I like the Neon glow theme but overall all are good, nice work!
uniacid··on Magit Kickstarter fully funded
Looks interesting but I definitely prefer Tower: https://www.git-tower.com/mac/

Best GUI for Mac and they also have a Windows client as well now, just makes life easier and repos easier to manage especially when you have merge conflicts!

uniacid··on Ask HN: KISS company website: Wordpress, Square Space or roll my own?
If you are fine with PHP there is also the option of OctoberCMS built on top of the Laravel framework, have to say I really enjoy it so far.

uniacid··on Ask HN: Best Git workflow for small teams
I've used both gitflow and the feature branch workflow which is explained here: https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/comparing-workflows/...

both work well I think for small teams just depends on how well you want to organize things.

Awesome, thanks for sharing!
uniacid··on Firms that paid for Clinton speeches have US government interests
Would have prevented something is a big assumption, especially when at the time prior to 2008 you had a party in power that wants to away with regulation and maximize military spending on our credit card which compounded issues already going on.
uniacid··on Firms that paid for Clinton speeches have US government interests
Surprised the Bernie bots are still kicking, this seems like more about nothing than something.

Where's the evidence of any such said corruption?

Just because they received money for speeches doesn't make them corrupt, and if you believe it does well then prove it with evidence you can back up but don't put out false claims. Yes she has gotten a good deal of money from speeches but it isn't the only politician out there (present or past) doing them for large amounts of money.

It's one thing to say you're influenced by lobbyist groups donating to your campaign and whole other to say the speeches are used to influence your policies, they're two separate things.

And even while HRC has gotten a decent amount of donations given to her campaign it's a very small piece of the pie that is shelled out by Corporations and Lobbyist groups, look at the other side for example, do you think they aren't COMPLETELY influenced by lobbyist groups? They practically own the Republican party.

Anyways as I said, more about nothing than something.

uniacid··on Trails – Modern MVC Web Framework for Node.js
Travis, likewise.. I'm in Boca Raton so Miami is not far away :)
uniacid··on Status of Sails.js
Having witnessed feuds between Founder and CEO before they're never a pretty sight, so thats why the future of Sails.js has been very disconcerting.

Hopefully relationships can be amended amicably and if Sails.js is truly dead in the water then hopefully Trails.js will pick up where it left off and on better footing I hope, but it will take some time and also some proper PR might of been helpful to the many Sails.js users as well as it didn't need to reach this point, also on that PR note should we expect that they can easily port over their Sails.js projects over to Trails.js?

I was hoping to re-visit Sails.js for a project but considering all that's been happening I'm not sure I should just go with something else like Python+Flask and let Trails.js mature a bit more.

uniacid··on Status of Sails.js
Isn't Travis the CEO of balderdash.io?

I don't get it... CEO and Founder don't seem to happy with eachother...
