I want to address one of your points, I work here in the US under a work visa for a FAANG company. I disagree with your idea that it's somehow unfair/evil that I was "stolen" from …

I feel that hard to believe, if anything, I would say foreign workers are more expensive than local talent, in big tech firms they are paid just the same as Americans, but they com…

Most of them can, but few would, I for one feel it's outrageous to expect candidates to work 3 full days as a recruitment process, I'm sure I can find something better without havi…

GDL has a thriving technical community and getting bigger every day, the founder of the startup for which i work for has an special interest on making Guadalajara Mexico's technolo…

Please do!

Drop me a line at my username @gmail.com if he would consider working for a startup based on SF but with its engineering team based on Guadalajara, México. We mostly do django, fla…

My vote goes for native, i've built a series of wrapped html applications and the experience always is awful, as soon as you try to target something other than an iOS device you ge…

Nice, that will help me to forget the guilt of asking the guard a "proven" truth ;)

Actually you can use a while loop, i couldn't figure out the syntax for a "for" loop but while works fine.

That's weird, I'm on Mexico and we've had those features for several weeks now. While you are watching a film you can choose to not share a specific title. I've seen the feature bo…

It's a very evil standpoint for Microsoft, and should bring a couple of red flags to great efforts like wine and mono. Hopefully Oracle will lose the appeal and we will keep a litt…

I was involved on a project which were actually two very similar applications. What we did was create one gem for each specific special behavior of the app, were we declared some m…

It's weird that this question keeps coming out in several cool but not that useful HN posts. Some times it's cool to do things just because you can, maybe he was bored or he always…

Sencha Touch + Phonegap, as it turns out it's not very pleasant to try to make a good looking responsive multiplatform app, specially with android browser weirdness and bugs. Lesso…

That's great, gracias!

It looks awesome but sadly i cannot use it with my childs due to the language, i would love to see a translation to spanish. It would be cool to have that kind of resource so they …

I loved to read Joel, I was surprised when he announced he would not be writing again, same thing with Yegge. Obviously they get to choose what to do on they spare time, but damn, …

I'm not surprised, but yet, i'm somewhat disapointed that it doesn't take into account your country to filter netflix releases, it looks like a cool site but it's not as useful to …

Same here with latam keyboard layout, the problem seems to be on every symbol on the keyboard number row, ej. =, /, &, etc.

Some color blind people are more affected than others on their same color blind group. In my experience doing an Ishihara test ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_perception_test …

The website just has a couple of articles but looks promising. I'm color blind and know the frustration to not be able to play some videogames or read charts which use very similar…
