jpalacios··on Introducing Snapcash
Given they will have the debit card saved, perhaps Snapchat is thinking it will be much easier to offer products to their users in the future.
jpalacios··on Confusing UI in iOS7
That was one of the first things I noticed. You can disable it in general settings but unfortunately it is all or nothing. Now I can only pull it up from the lock screen.
jpalacios··on Amazon stops selling Sim City V over game issues
Haha thanks for reminding me about the error 37 video by francis. Classic! I remember that error lasting for several days after launch.
jpalacios··on How I Fired Myself
Ah I see.. I misunderstood the first time around. I thought you meant to store the user table in a flat file. Thank you for the explanation. That reminds me, I need to convert to Innodb one of these days.
jpalacios··on How I Fired Myself
Yah this story made me cringe. What exactly do you mean by:

"Using a relational database as a flat data store? Super bad."

Are you referring to the users table? I am not too accustomed to using flat files, so I am curious.

jpalacios··on Show HN: Built a Hacker News radio web app I can listen to
Perhaps a better approach would be to add a "preload" button, and then use the hidden element as you suggested so we aren't loading audio we aren't interested in.

Another idea would be to add a personal user queue to do the same thing. Awesome site btw.

jpalacios··on The Creepy Details of Facebook's New Graph Search
On the advertising side, I don't think it matters what the sharing settings are. We have been targeting on very specific parameters with quite a large reach for a while now.
jpalacios··on Ask HN/PG: What causes this sudden drop-off behaviour on HN submissions?
looks like highcharts JS
jpalacios··on Kill the Password: Why a String of Characters Can't Protect Us Anymore
That's an interesting idea, but I would be nervous logging in to services in public as someone could be watching. Or even worse a store employee could watch the tape and figure out the movements. Although, I am probably just being paranoid.
jpalacios··on Developers: We are no longer Apple’s target market
FYI adding a trailing forward slash to the url fixes the database error: http://johnkary.net/developers-we-are-no-longer-apples-targe...
