reion··on Show HN: Trigger.dev V2 – a Temporal alternative for TypeScript devs
I moved from n8n to trigger.dev a month ago. Maintaining all the workflows in GUI was just too time consuming and difficult. I already use NextJS for my app, so switch to trigger.dev was easy, not maintaining and making changes my workflows in IDE takes about 80% less time. So far I am very happy with my decision to switch.
reion··on n8n.io - A powerful workflow automation tool
In footer they have n8n vs Zapier and n8n vs Make pages, I guess other similar software would be IFTTT
reion··on n8n.io - A powerful workflow automation tool
I have been using n8n for over a year. I prefer it over popular Zapier as it gives me more flexibility and I am able to self host. It have its quirks that you learn about only when you work enough with it to look up solutions on community forums. The only thing I wouldn't recommend is their Cloud, it seams more buggy/unstable than my self hosted instance (more timeouts, probably to conserve shared resources). Still I would recommended to anyone looking for a cheap and open source alternative for Zapier.
reion··on Ask HN: Superhuman Invitation
I am not sure, to be honest. I know that they have a lot of people signing up. I think invitation bumps up you place in the waiting line.
reion··on The China GPS shift problem
I have run into this problem when I was living in China and wanted to map hiking trip with my friends in HangZhou.

Wrote about it on my old blog in 2013: http://michalkow.tumblr.com/post/43214865761/compensate-for-...

reion··on Workplace Equality Is Good for Business
I through this one is a no-brainer.
reion··on Smart Air
Sorry - it was http://aaaiiirrr.org/ not .com
reion··on Smart Air
That is true. I met guy on BarCamp in Shanghai. They are part of local hackerspace.
reion··on Smart Air
Guys at http://aaaiiirrr.com/ are doing the same thing, but Open source.
reion··on The Dark Side of the Programming World
The title sounded much more interesting then the article itself. I was expecting something about black-hat hackers.
reion··on Show HN: Learn about a new country every day (my side project)
I don't like being redirected to Wikipedia on read more. When you do that, there is good chance that visitor is not coming back. I think you should display rest of the content on your site as well.
reion··on Gesture Control in JS using Webcam
Really hard to navigate. I gave up.
reion··on Putin on NSA leak: Government surveillance shouldn’t break law
I did always like his sense of humor.
reion··on Ask HN: Gift for web designer
Thanks for the idea. It is really nice, I am just afraid if buying a single font not a little to small for a gift...
reion··on Ask HN: Gift for web designer
At his company they all use Drupal. He knows php, but I am not sure if he uses any other platforms.
reion··on Why I Develop For The Mac
My favourite "OpenGL is simply not a good option for 2D text-heavy graphics."
reion··on Infringement of 9Gag's trademark [pdf]
I did like how you were trying to handle the situation, it was really reasonable to try work something out. I am sad about their response to you, make me loss faith and proves that once they were successful, they just stopped caring. I would suggest you trying sending an other email with same approach to someone else higher up in company. From what i get Ray is guy in legal department, we don't know if he cares about user base and if he forwarded the email to someone else before he decided to deny you a way out.
reion··on Github is back in China
I might have been to quick to rejoice. Github acces seams to be going on and off.

If you go on http://viewdns.info/chinesefirewall/?domain=github.com and refresh page few times, you will get different status in different places.

reion··on Github is back in China
I have regular dns server works ok in Shanghai.
reion··on Github is back in China
Wow, I didn't know that. Any link to the story?
reion··on Ask HN: Online courses platform
Actually I was thinking about that, untimely, if I don't find anything better, I will just us github.
reion··on Ask HN: Online courses platform
Yeah, I was looking for something more organized, where i could keep everything in one place, like Udemy, but more programmer friendly.
reion··on CssConsole - easily make terminal-styled forms
I guess you are talking about quasi-console example? You cannot select text, because I set auto-focus on input field.

Both parties are able to see blurred thumbnail sized pictures, before the exchange commences.
reion··on Show HN: YourPictureGetsMine.com
Thanks. It is still work in progress. I am happy that I putted up on HN first, getting a lot of feedback. I know now what should I focus on next. And changing design would be one of those things.
reion··on Show HN: YourPictureGetsMine.com
This is a really good idea. Thanks for your comment!
reion··on Show HN: YourPictureGetsMine.com
I don't really see how the human moderation would help. You still cannot make sure if the picture that one of the parties is trying to send is actually his/her real picture.
reion··on Show HN: YourPictureGetsMine.com
Just any random picture won't do. But I admit that if the picture is one of a person, then you still might get scammed.
reion··on Show HN: YourPictureGetsMine.com
Creating an face recognition system would be next step, first I want to see if there is a demand for this kind of a website. The way it is done now is, that both parties of the exchange have the access to (blurred) thumbnail sized pictures of the other party. So they can judge for themselves, if the picture is one of a person or not.

The idea came from a friend that uses craigslist for dating. I see that it might provide a safer alternative for exchanging photos with strangers. Thanks for noticing a typo. I am not a native speaker. I already corrected that.
