damaru | 3 years ago | on: Rackspace email change to open-Xchange

Seems like as a e-mail reseller for Rackspace I'm loosing at lot in this 'improvement' look at what is being removed...

Sorry this is unreadable ~ is this meant to be a joke?

damaru | 8 years ago | on: Millennials' preferences are killing dozens of industries

For me it just sounds like a consumer generation smartening up - no napkin, hooters, beer and softeners... This is mostly waste anyway, our needs and consumption will change and the industry has to change with it.

damaru | 8 years ago | on: Self taught CGI artist. I exclusively use Blender and Gimp software, AMA

As far as I've experienced working only with floss, none of my clients ever cared about what tools I was using. Not only that but I haven't found much community that share/support/talk about running a creative business on floss only. But now I have hone my skills and I can produce the same results for the market/product I am working with, and enjoy the stability and flexibility of linux.

Why are VR posts devoided of any talk about porn technology development. I think a huge market for VR will be the porn industry, and it seems quite untapped at this point.

damaru | 9 years ago | on: LiveStyle: the first bi-directional real-time edit tool for CSS, LESS and SCSS

I want my html css and js to live update. Only css and only sublime seems quite a limitation. Something like npm reload does a lot more.

Funny, I just setup my vimwiki + syncthing yesterday night!

damaru | 9 years ago | on: Foxconn Confirms Plans for U.S. Investment

I'm not clear about China/Japanese investment in the USA but doesn't that feel like the US is loosing it's edge and competitiveness. From an uninformed point of view it surely feels like China and Japan are actually in a position of control here more than ever?

damaru | 9 years ago | on: The federal government wants EVs to make some noise at low speed

That is for sure a needed design, and we've seen it in few sci fi. We are used to hear car and it's part of our safety system, EV vehicle will make a lot less noise and should definitly have recognizable sound.

damaru | 9 years ago | on: Ignite UI is now open source

Is this Fremium or crippleware? I'm getting tired of business raising the open source flag for only sharing a small part of their code and then writing:

"Big news for the web dev community! Ignite UI is now open source! "

I'm sorry but this is not big news and it's not really open source.

Talk about going on Mars, Can't get proper light for the conference...

damaru | 9 years ago | on: Trolls try and trick people into drilling huge holes in their new iphones

It's not trolling, people are just really stupid.

damaru | 9 years ago | on: Ask HN: Any minimal framework for small website?

That is what I am doing now, but I was wondering about boiler plate code, most site have menu, pages, contact form and some of these basic elements, at which point it feel redundant to re-create each time.

damaru | 9 years ago | on: Old Geek Jobs: fighting against ageism in the industry

But don't ageism always happened to be reverse? I still roll my eyes when a early 20's try to sells me idea of marketing - and although you can have a lot of good ideas at that age, you still don't have life and work experience that is needed to go trough massive amount of stress or unknown situations. I think it's fine that kids who run new business don't want old folks in there. It's a bit of a return of the balance. If you're too old to get hired, how about starting a new business with other oldies?

damaru | 9 years ago | on: Millennials Don't Care About Owning Cars, and Car Makers Can't Figure Out Why

The whole car pride is a thing of the past. It used to define who you were and prove your success. People are simply evolving and take the car for what it is, it's simply transportation and you shouldn't make a big deal out of it, nor you should go in massive debt for it. If the car industry wants to change, making better quality, cheaper car, less polluting and smaller or more intelligent, it might benefit them a lot.

damaru | 9 years ago | on: The New Cheating Economy

But on the other side of the medal, there are a lot of people who gets paid to study no? If I was a poor student I'd try to get hired in one of these business and start going to school while being paid.

damaru | 9 years ago | on: You’re How Old? We’ll Be in Touch

That's one side of the story - I think there is also an imbalance of old folks in higer ranking job, from politics to multinationals, no?

damaru | 9 years ago | on: Hosting My Static Site

Yes I'll definitely expand my cloudfront + s3 for my next projects - to see how that could help. The only + for shared hosting is that I offer free shared hosting email with any hosting for my clients. Email are getting to be an expensive commodities.

damaru | 9 years ago | on: Hosting My Static Site

for static site, can't you use any shared hosting and have 1000sites for 3$/month? Not sure I follow the logic behind the article.

damaru | 9 years ago | on: Surge – Static Web Publishing for Front-End Developers

As a web developer I feel sometime solution like that remove the understanding of how the internet works. This script can be replaced by a tiny shell script, that runs a rsync of the dev folder to your server, and I think it is important to know basic scripting like that even for a front end dev. I have to say that I haven't tried the script but I haven't seen anything impressive from the presentation video.
