vjandrea··on Pluckable Strings
Very cool project, I love the drawing function, can bring to interesting ideas. Unfortunately, some songs are broken, MIDI file 404. The code tries to parse the empty response, instead of escaping early.
vjandrea··on Power plug and socket (outlet) types
The color choices for the map are questionable, and rather unreadable for color-blind people.
vjandrea··on Sunsetting Atom
Just a noob here, but I love the way Atom displays and handles merge conflicts; still my editor of choice when I rebase / merge.
vjandrea··on Ask HN: How do I search HN for ‘PHP’ whilst excluding the url?
`title: php` doesn't work as expected (it includes all URLs that contain both "title" and "php") and the "title:" filter is not documented in the page you linked.
vjandrea··on Music for Programming (2011)
Do you have any playlist to suggest? Thanks
vjandrea··on Aptana.org Hacked?
It now responds with a 404 by GitHub Pages: Site not found
vjandrea··on Aptana.org Hacked?
The domain name has been updated on 2018-12-02 so probably it has not been abandoned yet. The website is on a shared hosting (199.27.79.133), I tested other domains on the same IP but they don't reply either.
vjandrea··on Ask HN: What technologies did you learn in 2018?
Lua and Python, loving both. After years of Wordpress went back to static websites, loving Jekyll, trying Grav as well. Abandoned Laravel for a while, too busy doing other stuff.
vjandrea··on Ask HN: Codebase at my work is a complete mess, what should I do?
> write as many tests as possible

Definitely: this will help you to better understand what the code does and the dependencies involved. Climb up the dependencies tree and add tests there as well.

My eyes are bleeding. Nice idea, but please go seek help from a good designer.
vjandrea··on Show HN: Transform any web page into a document
1) the zipped download has always the same name, becomes quickly confusing if you're grabbing several pages. Maybe adding a timestamp or, better, a title snippet could help.

2) found html tags and incorrect whitespace when exporting to TXT this page: https://www.packtpub.com/packt/offers/free-learning

I want to try this tool with pages that Instapaper fails to grab.

vjandrea··on Show HN: Price changes alerts for any store
Why the currency isn't specified? I'm looking for an item on Amazon France and the price should be dispayed in euros, not in USD.
vjandrea··on Show HN: Meetifyr – Get your friends together
This. And take away that Google Ads banner from the homepage.
vjandrea··on Most Exclusive Website
If a single visitor takes 1 minute, then it can serve (60 * 24) = 1440 visitors per day. 10000 visitors take a bit less than a week, enjoy!

The instapaper action disappeared again. Will it be added again eventually?
vjandrea··on PHP is Inherently Insecure
It's definitely a joke, the author is a PHP expert, but it's a good collection of prejudices/rants against PHP.

I see today that the action is back :-) Thanks!
