jonaldomo··on [dead]
Why share private email publicly? Oddly enough, I now see the benefit of using snapchat...
jonaldomo··on The Comeback of the Mac
I would bet the success of the iphone and ipad play into this as well.

FWIW: I'm a developer and after being on a Macbook Pro with a Retina display for over a year I can't imagine working on anything else.

jonaldomo··on How MySQL memory table saved the day
Just a heads up: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/memory-storage-engine...

The MEMORY storage engine (formerly known as HEAP) creates special-purpose tables with contents that are stored in memory. Because the data is vulnerable to crashes, hardware issues, or power outages, only use these tables as temporary work areas or read-only caches for data pulled from other tables.

jonaldomo··on Why we ditched Amazon AWS
For those unfamiliar with Amazon, Amazon AWS consists of over 25 different services. This article focuses on EC2, the virtual server service.

I use S3 and DynamoDB regularly and think the pricing is better than most. I don't use it for pricing though. I use it because I don't have to worry about load balancing, adding multiple servers, running out of disk space. Set it up and forget about it.

jonaldomo··on Investors think Snapchat is worth $4 billion. That’s insane.
HN who is going to pick this company up? Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo, Google or Microsoft?

I love the screencast on the site. Is there a tool you used to get that going?

Please upvote this to get it to the top.
jonaldomo··on Where do you find specialized developers?
Do what tobacco companies do: go after them when they are young. Companies are having a difficult time finding developers, supply is lower than demand. This is especially true in the midwest. The company I work for is involved in a lot of programs for recruiting including this one http://www.ucmo.edu/about/mic/. Paid referral programs are huge too.

I personally think remote working is going to gain traction if demand keeps going up, which my guess is that it will.

Specific to Glass development: Android development is a prerequisite for Google Glass development. So instead of going after Glass developers, which has to be a super small amount go after Android developers. If you have trouble finding Android developers, find Java developers.

jonaldomo··on JSDB.io – A Database of JavaScript Libraries
I like the design of this site. I actually use the bower search site http://sindresorhus.com/bower-components/ and cdnjs http://cdnjs.com/ as a listing of javascript libraries also. I would like to see the three merged.
jonaldomo··on DataTables – Table plug-in for jQuery
https://github.com/Mottie/tablesorter has multiple sorting using the shift key. I alternate between this and DataTables. The hungarian notation threw me off at first too. Far from insane though.
jonaldomo··on Ask HN: What to do if my in-development app just got launched by someone else?
If the market your app is going after can not support two competitors, is it a market worth pursuing?
jonaldomo··on Angry entrepreneur replies to patent troll with racketeering lawsuit
More power to these guys. I hope they get some legislation going to protect entrepreneurs soon.
jonaldomo··on Happy Programmers' Day
I love that this is the first comment.
jonaldomo··on Livefyre Acquires Storify
(Random thought: I didn't realize how easy it was to embed tweets. More information at https://dev.twitter.com/docs/embedded-tweets)

Great news for the Storify folks.

jonaldomo··on Yahoo Launches New Screen App
Dear Techcrunch, Please enlarge the thumbnail when the user clicks on it. Also, I like the news you deliver. Thanks. John
jonaldomo··on I'm a doctor - help me disrupt healthcare
I would be willing to bet the hospital you work at is paying several million a year for their EMR and all sorts of smaller contracts that probably nobody knows about. One of those contracts probably supports the integration you are looking to do and has not been configured yet because it has not went high up enough the food chain. I think you are better off asking contacting the IT department of the hospital and have them log a ticket to the EMR provider (probably Cerner or Epic) and have them look at it before getting too invested.
jonaldomo··on How phone batteries measure the weather
This is cool. Possible use cases for those who are not grasping it: * Under developed countries who do not have a national weather service begin to start tracking historical temperatures.

* People at risk of heat stroke could have an app on there phones that alert them when the temperature is too high. (Most phones do not have a thermometer, and the temperature reading of a room with no A/C is different than the outside temperature)

jonaldomo··on A Passive Income Hacker's View on Wealth
I agree with this, I reread it wondering if I had missed it.
jonaldomo··on Bootstrap 3 RC1
I've been waiting for the dropdown events that were added. I started a project in Zurb Foundation today due to Zurb having the upper hand in responsive, time to reevaluate it looks like...
jonaldomo··on Datastore API (beta)
After quickly clicking through the api documentation I don't understand why I would use this over a hosted NoSql database like mongohq. I still like having additional options though.
jonaldomo··on Trext – Software that engages large groups in interactive texting
This is cool. How does legal compliance work with people who do not want to be contacted?
jonaldomo··on Show HN: Elevatr
I think you should update the link to go to either the main website or the techcrunch website. Most of us are very fast clickers and are not going to waste time having to select, copy and paste. ;)
jonaldomo··on The Beginner's Guide to Sales
This reminds me of Daniel Pink's To Sell Is Human: The Surprising Truth About Moving Others. Worth a read if you like this.
jonaldomo··on Show HN: My NBA + Twitter mashup
Interesting note: CBS Sports app is developed by a Kansas City, MO mobile development company called Handmark.
jonaldomo··on Buyer sued for posting factual negative review on eBay
I think this could be solved with community reviews of reviews. Although it is factual mistakes happen. Example, did the buyer make good on it? Is this a pattern? If the public could vote up or down on reviews to increase or decrease the weight of the rating this would be a non issue.
jonaldomo··on Gitmo Is Killing Me
I just sent my congressman an email outlining that I would like to see everybody given a trial and either deported or moved to a federal prison.

I would recommend that others reach out to their representatives and do the same. I imagine that if we, the people, do not make any noise about this then we are going to get more of the same.

jonaldomo··on Show HN: quickly share UML diagrams
Link is down. I would be extremely interested in reading about how much traffic it took to bring it down and what architecture you are running on.
jonaldomo··on Web Scraping 101 with Python
I'm working on a project right now with PHP's built in functions and the help of Google Chrome developer's tools Copy Xpath functionality:

$html = file_get_contents($url); $doc = new DOMDocument(); $doc->loadHTML($html); $xpath = new DOMXPath($doc); $elements = $xpath->query('//*[@id="resultCount"]/span');
