jathu··on Show HN: Annex – What are you doing?
Nope, nothing leaves the phone. Everything is stored in Core Data.

However, I did plan on switching to iCloud in the next version. I realized now that some people might not want their data on a server somewhere, so I would make it an option.

jathu··on What are Bloom filters?
Much like most TED talks, this is in line with the common Medium article theme. The article becomes more about ME ME ME, rather than the subject at hand. It's like some Moses syndrome.

When it comes to technical articles this starts to become extremely annoying to read blogs/papers as if it was written for BuzzFeed.

jathu··on Super Mario Bros. 30th Anniversary
Someone made a near perfect JS port of SMB https://github.com/FullScreenShenanigans/FullScreenMario
jathu··on Wit.ai (YC W14) Is Joining Facebook
Congrats to the Wit.ai team! For once I'm glad it was facebook who acquired them. I've been truly happy with Parse and can only begin to wonder how facebook will integrate all the developer tools they are acquiring.
jathu··on Ask HN: New Laptop
This is the main reason I bought the Zenbook UX32VD. The 1920x1080 resolution on a 13" screen is amazing! It's not glossy either, which is a huge plus.
jathu··on Ask HN: What's your desktop wallpaper?
I have been using #282828 as my wallpaper for a few weeks now. Here are some wallpapers that I use from time to time: http://idzr.org/ffugk.

As winter is upon us, check out the winter folder too.

jathu··on Ask HN: What was the most important technical invention of humanity?
in my opinion, the internet. most, if not all of humanity's knowledge at the tip of my fingers. it's with me 24/7 and almost everywhere.
jathu··on Ask HN: How many companies have started from a Show HN?
Oh wow. I love little historic things like this. Hopefully, it never goes away.
jathu··on Canada's Start-up Visa
YES! FUCK YES! Go Canada!
jathu··on World's Simplest Note App: Atomic Note
funny thing is, i was working on a simple note taking app too. just for fun of course, but i guess this makes us competitors aha ;). i'll see if i can post something within a few days.
jathu··on Rebuilding a simplified Firefox logo
wtf is up with the whole "flat" trend? first microsoft, then apple and now firefox. lack of depth does not look "good".
jathu··on Did Hacker News just gain image emoticons?
I believe those are emoji emoticons. The reason you see them is because you are on iPhone. I'm on Chrome on Windows 8 and I only see a square 😓.
jathu··on Utah Data Center
Oh god, that sounds heavenly. I wish they would release some documentation or video of what's inside their data centers. Too bad that would be a national security issue :\
jathu··on Show HN: My first iOS app - Soundtribe - 45 second sound clips with filters
Shorten the audio clips down. No one wants to sit around and listen to 45 seconds of anything. Even with tweets, no one bothers to take 10 seconds to read ALL the tweets. Shorten the audio down to around 5-10 seconds. Also, make it visual somehow.

Regarding design, change the color scheme... too "viney". I would go with some sort of red... maybe a red-pink as red is already take by YouTube. Get a good UI/icon design, please! The recording menu is too "complicated". Forget all the stop, pause and all the other crap. Just one big record button. Make the "filters" a bit more aesthetically pleasing, maybe an icon of what you're trying to represent (A chipmunk for chipmunk.. duh?).
