rawsyntax | 14 years ago | on: Not cool, Reddit
This must be a joke, HN auto [dead]s all my submissions now. Even deaded an article from my blog that got 11 upvotes before it was deaded
rawsyntax | 14 years ago | on: How to find a job for hackers
honestly this looks like a little advice on how to format your resumé / look for a job online. I saw nothing about acing the interview or how to write a really killer cover letter. I wrote a post about how to get a programming interview a few months back, I feel it provides more detail than your article

like any language feature it can be abused, however I find I like it
rawsyntax | 14 years ago | on: IE 10: Metro style browsing - one engine, two experiences
what' he's referring to, in my experience is the fact that microsoft has been trumpeting IE and HTML5 for some time (particularly on windows 7 phone). And that except for the hd7s and samsung focus, windows 7 phones are stuck with ie 7 mobile, which has no HTML5 support. From what I can tell other windows 7 phones cannot run the 7.5 "mango" release, which actually includes an HTML5 capable IE browser.

A few weeks ago I had an article dead'ed after getting 10 upvotes. And now all my submissions are marked dead seemingly permanently. So what am I todo except stop contributing to HN

Thanks for the info, after hearing people praise wordpress as the holy grail of blogging, I found it to be very very slow. Hopefully this plugin will help
rawsyntax | 14 years ago | on: Ask/Tell HN: What's with all the spam lately?
I'm not sure, but my submissions are being marked as dead automatically now.. So I guess HN thinks I'm a spammer. What's interested is one submission that got 10 upvotes before getting dead'ed
rawsyntax | 14 years ago | on: Ask HN: Getting traffic to a new Blog
careful submitting to HN. My submissions are now all marked dead automatically for the past 2 weeks... Even one of my blog submissions got 10 upvotes before being marked dead.. No idea why this is happening / how I can stop it.
rawsyntax | 14 years ago | on: Best SSDs For The Money: August 2011
From what I read at the time, (january 2011) sandforce based SSDs got much better performance on mac systems. I think this was to do with OSX's lack of support for TRIM.
On the other hand, right after I upgraded my SSD, I went to ruby 1.9.2 and rails 3, which are much slower due in part to a bug that makes requiring files take forever.
rawsyntax | 14 years ago | on: Ask HN: How do you backup your dev machine
I back up with time machine too. I used it once when I had to send my macbook pro in for maintenance. I just hooked up my timemachine drive to my wife's macbook pro, and it worked great.

I tend to use heroku's free plan for testing out ideas. I wrote a post detailing how here: http://rawsyntax.com/post/8737142015/host-your-side-project-...

don't sweat it, thanks for the hour long screencast on backbone.. that must've taken some time to put together
rawsyntax | 14 years ago | on: Ruby Devs – You’re too trusting. Gems could screw you. » RubySource
I take a similar approach. Fork any git-based gems to my account on github, and specify an exact version of each gem I use in my Gemfile, like
gem 'rails', '3.0.7' # for example
And also version the Gemfile.lock file. That way my environment is locked down until I decide to upgrade.
rawsyntax | 14 years ago | on: Show HN: I made an open source iOS HN reader
This looks awesome. As somebody who has considered getting into iOS programming, but hasn't taken the dive yet (more focused on ruby based websites / mobile websites right now), thanks for making it open source.

This is cool just for fun, but practically there are sites like http://ajaxload.info/ that generate spinners for you, if you don't know how to do it yourself
