Their offering is for upstarts who don’t have any existing devops infrastructure
jak1192··on A letter about Google AMP
When you navigate to an AMP site there is a very clear icon at the top to click and go to the site's actual domain. I don't understand what this letter is so upset about - if they have such a problem, they should build their own search engine.
jak1192··on Net Neutrality Day of Action: Help Preserve the Open Internet
Google Netflix Facebook etc. could stand to benefit by being able to afford faster speeds than younger smaller companies. The cost to compete is going to be higher, thus easier to maintain monopoly status.
jak1192··on "I know how to program, but I don't know what to program"
Hey how about you spit ball some of those ideas over here? I bet there's plenty of hungry programmers in here eager to make them come to life
jak1192··on The Big Alien Theory
That is not an example of Brandolini's law. It took a whole website to spew the bullshit but only 3 or so sentences for you to refute it.

This reminds me of those flip-books you made when you were younger (or of current age, whatever).

So you're saying a company that profits from disrespecting artists around the world is troubled?
jak1192··on Show HN: Spendy – a simple money tracker (iOS app)
Great app, I've been looking for a simple, bare bones budget tracking app.

I think you need to fix the flow for the first time users. If every first time user must add a currency, why not have first time user screen be the add currency screen? Also, the add currency screen should have suggestions. It wasn't initially clear that I needed to type 'USD' instead of 'dollar'. It also wasn't clear that the currency needed to be in capital letters. I had usd in lowercase and clicking the check mark did nothing. There should at least be feedback.

The app is great once getting past the first screen. Nice job.

jak1192··on Show HN: Test your website's responsiveness
Its easier to match the aspect ratio using this tool vs scaling down a browser (how do you know the dimensions of your browser?)
jak1192··on Show HN: Test your website's responsiveness
The aspect ratio is consistent - which, in my opinion, is what's important.
jak1192··on Show HN: Test your website's responsiveness
Good point. But if one wanted his site to look awesome on any screen size, he could use this tool to confirm that it does.
jak1192··on Show HN: Test your website's responsiveness
Well i based my hypothesis on the fact that sites such as google.com and yahoo.com which dont get rendered in Safari as a result of X-Frame-Options do get rendered in Chrome.
jak1192··on Show HN: Test your website's responsiveness
What do you know. I updated Firefox from Firefox itself and it only updated me to 12.
jak1192··on Show HN: Test your website's responsiveness
so i guess that would make my responsiveness checker unresponsive
jak1192··on Show HN: Test your website's responsiveness
That's a terrific reference. I wish I knew about it when I started developing
jak1192··on Show HN: Test your website's responsiveness
Didn't know that. That's pretty cool. However, its only for Firefox 15 which isn't available for mac yet..
jak1192··on Show HN: Test your website's responsiveness
Hmm. What's your website?
jak1192··on Show HN: Test your website's responsiveness
Maybe I should put a chart of common device aspect ratios..
jak1192··on Show HN: Test your website's responsiveness
Most Android aspect ratios are covered by the Apple devices I implemented. The Galaxy s4 for instance has a 16:9 aspect ratio, the same as the iPhone-5. However, more devices are to come! Feel free to contribute on Github (https://github.com/jak1192/MobileWebSimulator) :)
jak1192··on Show HN: Test your website's responsiveness
The point of the site is to simulate how websites would look on an iPhone. So being you're on an iPhone, use of the site would be counterintuitive :)
jak1192··on Show HN: Test your website's responsiveness
That's cool!
jak1192··on Show HN: Test your website's responsiveness
Interesting. It seems Chrome doesn't support X-Frame-Options

jak1192··on HTML on mobile and feature ubiquity
Did i just see position:sticky? I like the path chrome is taking with css. Seems to be really be making modern design trends easier
jak1192··on Native equivalents of jQuery functions
Great article. Newer developers are spoiled by jQuery and don't realize that all it does is make native javascript a bit cleaner. However, one nightmare javascript task that this article overlooks is ajax. Native javascript ajax is no where near as simple without jquery
