oh yeah. I'd heard they were mimicking a very classic game
kitwalker12··on Show HN: News Chit – News in Short Hindi and English Videos
looks nice. I don't have android so wanted to ask is the video generated by you guys or are you curating videos
kitwalker12··on The Art of Influence
same here...at first I thought it could be my adblocker, but it breaks completely without it as well. on Safari my laptop fan started moving so loud, it felt it was going to take off
kitwalker12··on First Data Buys Spree Commerce to Move into Open Source Payments Technology
sad to see Wombat shutdown.
kitwalker12··on Invisible Apps: Who needs an app anyway?
definitely agree that the developing world is much faster in adopting commerce over text products. I think it's partly due to the high rates of data in India & Africa
kitwalker12··on Invisible Apps: Who needs an app anyway?
Commerce over text also remains a largely unexplored idea. I'm glad a friend is doing http://commerce.io/
kitwalker12··on Ask HN: What books are you reading?
I just get them on Audible and listen to them on my drive to work. Although I do miss marking passages and taking notes on a "real" book. The bookmark feature just doesn't cut it.
kitwalker12··on Tsunami alert as Chile hit by powerful earthquake
That feature was really helpful during the recent Nepal earthquake as well
kitwalker12··on Tsunami alert as Chile hit by powerful earthquake
I'm new to US and ipso facto new to weather alerts on my phone. So the first time I saw the alert, kinda shit my pants as I had been in Andaman hours before the 2004 Tsunami
kitwalker12··on Ahmed Mohamed will not face charges related to device [pdf]
I'm so annoyed that NO ONE is mentioning THIS fact. It's a pencil box people
kitwalker12··on Website that will log you out of all your accounts
goddamit...atleast ask for a confirmation.
kitwalker12··on Coding for Startup Founders – Learn to Code by Cloning Real-Life Startups
I hope this doesn't just involve cloning the same functionality in Rails and ignoring optimizations and cleverness of the actual product
kitwalker12··on Hello Elixir. Wow
much wow. haven't got started with a language that fast before
kitwalker12··on Ask HN: How is your docker based production flow?
Thanks for this info. I'm going to try this out. We host on rackspace and kubernetes wasn't playing well with networking on rackspace nodes.
kitwalker12··on Ask HN: Keybase.io Invite
let me know if you still need one
kitwalker12··on Show HN: HN Who Is Hiring Thread - Sorted, Filtered and Searchable
same here. endless loading
kitwalker12··on An open letter to Spotify
This is a really important issue. more so because the product isn't free but charges customers.

On a side note...need a name for my new company...open letters as a service

kitwalker12··on Facebook introducing GIFs in some pages and posts
can their reluctance be because of things like this https://github.com/videlalvaro/gifsockets
kitwalker12··on Vanity sizing
I knew it...I knew my 36 waist was too good to be true :P
kitwalker12··on Resize.ly – Images resized, responsive, and retina ready
is the pricing better than imgix? Also, for as an opensource alternative, we use https://github.com/die-net/fotomat as a S3 proxy. It's very fast and scales well
kitwalker12··on Show HN: Croovies – Fixing the way we rate and find movies
same thing happened to me.
kitwalker12··on Moving Opendoor's Data Science Stack from Heroku to Convox
glad to see convox is doing good. I'd come across one of the founders at gophercon and found the setup quite interesting
kitwalker12··on Create a Self Signed SSL Certificate on Nginx for Ubuntu 15.04
I didn't get it either. does 15.04 provide a special or easier way of doing this. The info looks like something that could've been found on stackoverflow
kitwalker12··on Gitualize – Like YouTube for GitHub
this is pretty cool. Sped through some good ruby engines that I follow and learned that the first 20 commits were tests. nice way to learn programming practices.
kitwalker12··on Show HN: Online Machine Learning System
this looks cool. It'd be great to see some eCommerce demo datasets
kitwalker12··on A Company Copes With Backlash Against the Raise That Roared
exactly the same thing I thought of while I was reading this. he got the first part about being open right though.
