Porting iPhone/iOS apps to Windows Phone
http://blog.mugunthkumar.com/articles/porting-iphoneios-apps-to-windows-phone/
Windows Phone is all set to be the next major platform in the Mobile Space. While it will be second to Apple at least for several years to come, It’ll still garner market share from new smartphone users and competitors like Blackberry and Android.As successful developers, I strongly think it’s high time to start porting apps to Windows Phone. To developers like us, it’s another platform that comes with a whole new gold rush. Why not utilize it?

JsCache
https://github.com/mortzdk/jsCache
jsCache is a javascript library that enables caching of javascripts, css-stylesheets and images using CORS AJAX and a localStorage polyfill. This is especially useful when serving your website for mobiles, which has limited HTTP caching available, but also speeds up your site in an ordinary webbrowser as it saves HTTP requests and loads all files asynchronously.

Show HN: prune, a Chrome extension to help you trim your garden of tabs
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/prune/gblddboefgbljpngfhgekbpoigikbenh
Hey friends! Just here to share my open-source Chrome extension that I made awhile ago to help me manage the massive number of tabs I would always have open, hopefully some of you also find it useful.

It has a few features that have helped me from having my tab garden grow too out-of-hand:

- Focusing any existing tabs instead of opening new ones (regardless of how the link is opened)
- Automatically moving tabs to a group called " old tabs" after I haven't looked at them in awhile
- Mercilessly removing tabs that I haven't looked at in even longer (if you're a loose cannon you can just enable this)
- ...and some other features I made for others but never really use personally.

For those using Firefox, sorry, it uses some features of manifest v3 (tab grouping), so it isn't currently available for you. I'm keeping an eye on it and will release something when I can.

You can find the source code here: https://github.com/tbrockman/prune

Contributions, suggestions, and bug reports are welcome! Hope you find it useful.

Software video transcoding still trumps modern hardware-accelerated solutions
http://techreport.com/articles.x/23324
For years, AMD, Intel, and Nvidia have hyped the hardware-accelerated video transcoding capabilities of their CPUs and GPUs. Some implementations use dedicated logic, while others leverage the arrays of shader processors in modern graphics chips. Turns out all this hardware-accelerated mojo may be no better than old-school software transcoding. We've put together a detailed comparison of video transcoding on the PC that explores everything from performance to image quality to power consumption. The verdict: software transcoding consistently produces the highest-quality results. If you can live with artifacts, the QuickSync logic built into Intel's recent CPUs is easily the fastest of the hardware-accelerated solutions, though the output quality varies widely with the software used. A beta version of the OpenCL-accelerated x264 encoder produces good results on multiple hardware configurations, but it's not much faster than pure software transcoding on a modern CPU.

Worldwide Internet Advertising To Surpass $106 Billion In 2011

Ask HN: Do Y Combinator Companies Pay Less?
"For most startups the model should be grad student, not law firm. Aim for cool and cheap, not expensive and impressive." -- Paul Graham

Does this advice apply to programmer salaries for early hires? What salary range should an early hire at a YC startup expect? More to the point, how do YC salaries compare to salaries for non-YC startups, and how to those compare to compensation at larger firms, especially for recent graduates?

For example, has anyone gotten an offer from a YC startup and a larger firm around the same time? How did they compare?

(Obviously compensation isn't the only, or the most important concern, but I'd still like to have some understanding of what ranges to expect)

Ask HN: How long to become a senior in a different stack/language?
Right now I'm looking for different roles and there's a lot more Java/JVM based positions around me than Node.js, in which I'd consider myself a senior.

At what point is it dishonest to apply as a senior for roles that use technologies you don't experience in?

Would expand this question to include:

- Cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure, Heroku, etc

- Languages (different paradigm, differently typed, etc)

- other relavant points

Ask HN: What skills/background is needed to get a job as a Javascript developer?
I want a career in software development, but currently have no formal experience or CS degree. I'm interested in doing server-side development, but while I have some Python knowledge, I have a lot to learn before I would try to develop server-side web applications professionally. I do, however, know Javascript fairly well. I've studied Javascript: The Definitive Guide and can use closures, recursion, object-oriented Javascript using prototypes, and jQuery. I would have no problem whipping up a demonstration app.

Not personally knowing any web developers, I don't really have any idea what jobs are available or what skill sets companies require. I know there are jobs for people who can do PHP, Django, Rails, SQL, etc. on the back-end, or on the other end, for people who can design the actual web page layout, look, and feel, but are their opportunities for people who have a solid grasp of Javascript and aren't interested or skilled in visual design?

I know I should learn Django and related technologies, and I'm working on it, but in the meantime, it would be great to start working in the industry instead of doing unskilled manual labor. Also, people will probably suggest freelancing, but I would prefer to be in an environment where I could learn from peers and mentors.

TL;DR - What's the minimum skill set I need to demonstrate in order to be employable as a web developer without a degree or job experience?

Quora Hackathon prizes seem... a little lacking
https://www.hackerrank.com/quora?utm_source=mail&utm_medium=contestinvite&utm_campaign=quorahack#prize
I understand it's not about the prizes but I mean, come on. A Quora t-shirt, a Quora book, or a meeting with the Quora founder?

On the other hand, I think Hackaton prizes kind of tend to defeat the community building experience.

I'm going to ask HN: what do you think about this? Is it a thinly veiled attempt by Quora to get people to come up with ML algorithms for them, or is it a way to make the experience about community rather than the prizes?

Or you know, any other thoughts.
