It also names Miguel de Icaza as a similarly important character, it was in 2000 because gnome, event considering Mono as an important technology nowadays, it's not as significative or critical as Gnome was back then.

Edit: wording.

Nice discovery! Now scifi/horror movies can stop using the "I have no reception for no reason" and use helium somewhere in the plot.

I would strongly suggest changing the name. "Ves pene" means something pretty much NSFW in Spanish. Besides that, nice job! Keep it up.

rlopezcc | 7 years ago | on: Ask HN: How do you organise and discover your team's internal scripts?

I have a .local_profile script in my project root and added this[1] to my .bash_profile

So, each project has its own set of aliases and utilities in the repo.

It's not the cleanest thing to do, but it works pretty well.

Or pipe to sed for "emoji art"

rlopezcc | 7 years ago | on: Ask HN: What do you consider resume red flags?

Yeah, do I have a domain name and used my own domain with gmail. But it sounds volatile to me, if (for some reason) I lose my domain I'd miss a good part of my communications. Thanks for your advice, I'll see what I can do.

rlopezcc | 7 years ago | on: Ask HN: What do you consider resume red flags?

I normally use an outlook email because I can have username@outlook instead of user.name2392.stuff@gmail, also outlook advertisement is less intrusive.

I'm under the impression that it turns recruiters away, can this be right?

[Edit]: Yes/No is enough, no need to downvote.

I love these things. I made my resume page by piping together two small rust pograms and a bash script to get a single html, from a json in firebase, a handlebars template and several static assets.

rlopezcc | 8 years ago | on: QuickBASIC Lives on with QB64

QBasic was my first programming experience.

Back in 2008 I bought a computer for 50 uruguayan pesos (around 2 dollars), Pentium MMX and 32MB of ram. It didn't boot W98 because the hard drive was corrupted.

It did load MsDOS and I found Qbasic using the help command.

I didn't have internet so I used to go to the internet cafe with a floppy disk and download tons of tutorials in plain text to read with EDIT.EXE

Now I've been working as a software developer for almost five years and love it, all thanks to QBasic and that old cheap computer.

I was really disappointed when noticed they didn't have a way to report bugs. They had some kind of "Suggestions box", so I used that to report mine: Images wouldn't upload correctly when the chat room name started wih a slash (/dev/null in my case). They deleted the ticket and a few days later it was magically fixed.

You will find pretty annoyed people if you search for "report hipchat bug".

That's really nice. And reminds me about this thing[0] I made when Firefox 3D view was available.

"acts of protest" Yeah... sure...

This is my exact thought every freaking day while cycling to the office.
