On: Ask HN: How does a 1990s web developer get back on track?

[haliphax]

Throw away everything you've learned and start over. Pick something and run with it rather than trying to master everything. Write a simple demo app in a few frameworks, decide what works for you, and just go for it.

That presentation was done by Lord Scarlet, host of the Sixteen Colors ANSI art archive :)

not likely, as PETSCII are actually executables, if I remember correctly.

It's a dream to work with when compared with old-style BBS systems. Check out #1984 on EFNet IRC!

Whereas our HR department prefers that you warn the individual first, before you approach HR for a reprimand.

On: JQuery hacked

Why do people do this rather than linking to a screenshot or something? By the time it comes up in my RSS news reader, it is almost always not in the same condition as when the link was posted.

On: Ask HN: Hackers who cook

[haliphax]

1. Both. It's cheaper, and often better than anything I can find in the small town where I live.

2. We plan MOST of our meals in a week, but leave a night or two open for flexibility and/or a restaurant visit.

3. All kinds of shit! My wife is an avid Pinterest user, and I am a former professional gourmet cook.

4. Nope.

5. LEARN HOW TO PROPERLY USE AND MAINTAIN KNIVES. That is the biggest tip that I can possibly give.

[Cherian → haliphax]

Two things common in many replies:

1. Meal plan days ahead.

2. Learn to use knives

On: I am locked out of my PC because of Windows 8 Login catch-22

[haliphax]

I've been caught in this catch-22 due to my hotmail account getting hacked a while back, but it's not tied to my Windows login -- just everything else to do with Microsoft. I guess I'll actually have to get it squared away soon, because it's taken down my Twitter account (minus one OAuth-authorized app that I can still use) and will soon take down Dreamspark, as well. :( Terrible system! I only ever used my hotmail account for MSN, so I can't answer any of their e-mail-related questions.
