vojant··on Submetrics – Search for your favorite show
For example: Breaking bad (http://www.submetrics.org/#/show/1069) Top topics: Party, Gossip, Show...

I don't understand how it can help me pick similar shows

Edit: I played a little more for some TV shows it gives better results. For sure it is interesting but require a lot more work to be actually useful as TV Shows recommendation tool.

vojant··on Ask HN: What are the best product landing pages you've stumbled upon?
Netflix.com - It shows exactly what you buying, renders fast without fancy javascript animation.
vojant··on Where's the Generic Insulin?
How much Lantus do you use? In Poland I was paying around $100 for 5 pens, in UK not much more (without insurance). Test strips (Accu-Chek) arround $15 for 50.
vojant··on Ask HN: What book changed your life in 2014?
Antifragile - This book change my ways of thinking about life. Also this year I've read Black Swan, another great book by the same author.
vojant··on Ask HN: Feedback on my landing page? - http://gini.io
Is there any demo or 30 days trial period? This landing page doesn't explain anything. In my opinion just twitter bootstrap and one paragraph of text definitely is not enough!
vojant··on Programming is terrible; so learn to enjoy it
Programming is only a tool to create something. If the thing that we are working on is shitty - then yes, programming is terrible. These texts are related to the web programing which usually is horrible.
vojant··on Introducing Carrot
Any idea how to build this using Raspberry PI or Arduino?
vojant··on Ask HN: Do you trust php startups?
Sorry I only trust startups made in brainfuck, every other language is invigilated by NSA.
vojant··on If programming languages were weapons
Yes, and unfortunately if you not agree with this fancy new frameworks, you are considered bad developer.
vojant··on If programming languages were weapons
As a PHP developer, I think you are right. In last few years PHP changed a lot! Ofcourse like every tool it's sometimes used wrong way, thats why people complain.
vojant··on The desktop and the developer
Skype looks ugly under Ubuntu and there is no new version of Spotify on ubuntu.
vojant··on The desktop and the developer
I use OS X since 2 years but only for Skype, Spotify, Browser etc because apps looks much nicer on OS X than Linux. My whole dev environment is on linux based virtual machine. This way I have nice looking laptop but my dev environment is really close to production environment.
vojant··on Show HN: Freelancy – an easy way to track your time and earned money
It's the same as CMS/Todos/PM/Crm software, most of small companies create their own... and after wasted year on broken, non tested software they look for something commercial. $5 is a good price for simple software.
vojant··on The reason Angular JS will fail
Completely disagree with the author, comparing jQuery to Angular is stupid.

It's similar to situation with php few years ago when Symfony2 and other big frameworks were introduced, many people still complain and they use simple non oop php to create websites.

World is changing, php changed and now javascript will change. Some people will stuck to jQuery but most will move to new mvc frameworks because they are much easier to maintain, also many backend developers is moving to REST architecture lately.

vojant··on The reason Angular JS will fail
I have exactly the same feeling. I am mostly backend developer who started with angular this week. After few days I was able to create mvc app, thanks to the multiple plugins I was able to finish it really fast. DI and other features make it easy to maintain over time. jQuery is cool for simple frontend features, but not for maintaining complex mvc frontend.
vojant··on MLB.com is using my Google Analytics code
I have seen something similar, when three companies stolen award-winning design of digital agency I used to work for. They just copied whole code (including comments in javascript) and changed logos/texts but they haven't change our ga code.
vojant··on Ask HN: Why is the spelling poor on HN?
For many people here (like me) English is second language. I try to improve my english by writing comments. I think it may be the reason why you see so many misspellings.
vojant··on Ask HN: What's your new year resolution?
Thank you for detailed explanation
vojant··on Ask HN: How do you do your To-Do list?
Pen and paper. I have few lists, e.g. life goals, everyday stuff (like groceries) and work/programming. I have tried multiple on-line tools but only paper and pen works for me (or white board if avaible).
vojant··on Ask HN: What's your new year resolution?
Ah I forgot, I will skip this New Year party (I will sit at home and learn instead of drinking). I will party next year but only if I manage to keep my resolutions.
vojant··on Ask HN: What's your new year resolution?
Thanks
vojant··on Ask HN: What's your new year resolution?
I thought about my life latey and I am starting today with my New Year resolutions.

* Improve my english

* Learn math - I have graduated only high school and I have been scared of math my whole life. Time to change it!

* Learn as much as I can about data mining. - After reading http://guidetodatamining.com, I found it really interesting.

* Learn Python.

* Improve work/fun time management.

vojant··on News is bad for you
It's so ironic to use quotation in this case.
vojant··on Server-generated JavaScript responses
I don't understand what's the advantage of using SJR.
vojant··on Ask HN: What do you ask a potential employer
Working on side projects policy, it's my main question. Career path is also important.
vojant··on Ask HN: What habit have you dropped or picked up that improved your life?
That's really cool. When I've been trying to work with someone else on side projects, someone always wanted to quit. It's really hard to find people who will do that regularly.
vojant··on Ask HN: What habit have you dropped or picked up that improved your life?
How did you quit? I really want to quit right now, I even switched for e-cigarettes but I came back to normal after one week.
vojant··on Ask HN: What habit have you dropped or picked up that improved your life?
I did the same when I found out I am diabetic. Now I can really enjoy taste of tea and black coffee.
vojant··on Leonardo Da Vinci's piano heard for the first time after 500 years
According to wikipedia it is not first reconstruction of "viola organista’’.

"Akio Obuchi built several instruments as early as 1993.[1] In 2004, a modern reconstruction of the viola organista by Akio Obuchi was used in a concert in Genoa, Italy . In 2013, Sławomir Zubrzycki constructed and performed on his own viola organista[2] at the Academy of Music in Kraków."

vojant··on M.V.P., not M.V.P.O.S.
"However, that is no excuse for it to look and function terribly (or not function at all)"

"Don’t be one of those startups that delivers broken features with the excuse, "It's just the M.V.P., we'll fix it later."

I agree, to many projects released now are in beta (or even alpha) stage.
