rtdp | 6 years ago | on: Ask HN: Feasible Alternative to the MacBook Pro?

The better battery usage and wi-fi are some of the basic things that don't work out of the box even on a preinstalled ubuntu on XPS are real let down. These are the same problems I faced when I had used Linux laptops before, and so now happily settled with 15" mac pro since past 5 years - no issues whatsoever.

rtdp | 6 years ago | on: Preserving Laptop Stickers on MacBooks

I had forgotten my laptop while going through security at the Detroit airport. So when loudspeaker announcements happened, I went back to collect the laptop. The security guy asked "Why type of laptop is it?" intending to check if it's really mine, I replied: "One with lots of stickers". "There you go" he said handing me my laptop that was inside a protective cover.

Not at all scientifically done.

This was not about charging differently based on how much people have.

It was about charging differently based on WHAT you are using.

So, if I have much money, I can have my service freely for everyone, while this other startup, unless pays to internet providers, will be available over the paid internet.

It really does hurt eyes. Came back immediately looking at that design. Could have used a little more white space, grouping relevant things together.

I do agree here. I do develop in India, and rarely i meet people with Mac. Most devs use linux and most html and UI guys go with windows.

and yes, I hope chromebook wont have a problem working with external mechanical keyboards, right?

rtdp | 13 years ago | on: Ask HN: Google Chromebook - anybody using it for web development?

thanks for reply and excited to know !!

So, development works pretty well if you have a good wifi connection.

Its just matter that we need to have good ssh client, where vim will work asyn and will push only for saves. I guess this way, development will be good in bit bad net-connections as well.

crosh is what i was looking for.. awesome !! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Chrome_OS#Shell_access

rtdp | 13 years ago | on: Ask HN: Google Chromebook - anybody using it for web development?

Does chromebook have a shell where i can ssh to my servers ? I mean, i have seen ssh apps for chorme browser and those work with chromebook, but its still browser.

I just need a browser- which chromebook has and a shell - just two things i need for everyday development.

rtdp | 15 years ago | on: Resources for learning Rails 3

It's not compulsion to spend some money and do the course. When i started rails, i was without even computer sciences background. The best way to learn rails is by doing and learning with application development itself. In this regard this may help - http://ruby.railstutorial.org/ruby-on-rails-tutorial-book

Keep in mind, the best way to go with rails is learn the conventions, once you get them you will start loving rails or else thing might frustrate you.
