Hacker News Reader

I got contacted by Heroku 1h ago to reissue certificate and update my SSL endpoint.

Most important part: "But obviously, mice are not people, so whether exercise can prevent or ameliorate macular degeneration in human eyes is “impossible to know, based on the data we have now,” said Machelle Pardue, a research career scientist at the Atlanta Veterans Administration Medical Center, who is the senior author of the study. She and her colleagues are trying to find ways to determine the impact of exercise on human eyes. But such experiments will take years to return results."

GvSon Google Reader announced its shutdown exactly a year ago

Immediately after reading this post I thought: "Damn, I use them for half a year and I'm really happy, I should support them" and went to website to upgrade to premium and... I couldn't find it! It was hidden as 4th option from top menu under small settings cogwheel on bottom. Instead of all those useless (for me) statistics on front page you should put a small note like "Like us? Go premium!" to remind us that making something great needs support.

GvSon Dear first world dev, I am going to live your nightmare

I did some projects from both oDesk and HN. They were quite similar. oDesk projects I've chosen were more interesting but quite short and HN jobs were longer but not so great as you would expect from HN.

GvSon Why is printing “B” dramatically slower than printing “#”?

My answer with 219 votes was deleted after 4 years by moderator Andrew Barber. It's really disheartening.

GvSon Is Kindle Paperwhite really worth it?

Yes it is. I just bought one a week ago and it is really comfortable. Too bad it doesn't have auto adjust, but configuration is just two clicks away.

GvSon Google Hangouts/GTalk glitch sends chats to wrong recipients

I think they turned off Hangouts and reverted to old talk. I noticed that messages I've tried to send with Hangouts from G+ web page were not delivered and chats from gtalk dekstop client are saved in gmail as "chat" not "hangout"

GvSon Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (July 2013)

SEEKING WORK – Remote or Europe

I'm currently looking for work as full stack Python/Django developer. I have successfully completed jobs from HN before.

I also have experience with Node.js, Tornado, Pyramid, C++ (OpenGL and Qt) and Java. For my personal projects I use linux, nginx, postgresql, memcached, mercurial, jQuery (with UI and mobile) and twitter bootstrap, but I'm also familiar with apache, mysql, mongodb, hbase, git, backbone.js and many other.

I've started my own consulting company almost two years ago and I've been working on contracts from HN or oDesk since then:

Why won't he just change site? YouTube isn't the only video service out there.

It seems it's already removed from Google Play.

GvSon PayPal.com Gets a Makeover [UI]

I like new design. It's much better than previous one. It was slow and when I clicked on "Log in" it opened new window. This one feels much faster and I can finally log in from main page.

I've been using it for 1.0.x and it works.

GvSon Kevin Fox on recent Google UX changes: from strange-to-me to just-plain-crazy

Thanks, nice tool! It told me that my server is vulnerable to some kind of BEAST attack. I searched a bit about that and fixed it.

GvSon Unity is the end of Ubuntu

I really tried to get used to it and gave it a week, but in the end it was impossible. It's just full of bad design decisions and slows me down a lot. I think it has some potential and I tried to configure it but coudn't find any options so I googled "ubuntu unity remove" and I was back to gnome after reboot.
