sfaruque | 3 years ago | on: EU Passes Law to Switch iPhone to USB-C by End of 2024
Thinking out loud if Apple would resort to making 2 versions of their iPhones? And then exclusively selling the USB-C version in the EU, and everywhere else giving the customers a choice.

Any chance you’ll be releasing this on SetApp too (like TaskPaper)?

> what we desperately need is not more no-code builders, but a robust, DB-backed builder with an object-based workflow, and with code-behind for custom workflow logic
Have you looked at PHPMaker?

I find the microwaves with dials just last longer, and they are usually cheaper. In my experience, the touch pads on the digital ones breakdown faster.
sfaruque | 5 years ago | on: Scraping Roger Ebert’s reviews and finding his favorite movies on Amazon Prime
There used to be a site call ClerkDogs.com that probably had the best movie recommendation system I've used. You started off naming a few movies you liked, and it would provide a list of movies you'd also probably like, and it was very accurate.
From what I remember, the database was cataloged and maintained by actual humans, and not some algorithm following behavior patterns.

Idea for the developer to consider: Pro version generates a long list and checks if the domain name is available.

Have you considered contacting the people behind Setapp (https://setapp.com/developers)

Just an observation: Why aren't Lyft's employees using Lyft's ride-sharing service to get to work?
I know that's not the point of the article, but if your company owns ~25% of the market share [1], wouldn't it make more sense to instead give your employees "Lyft credits" (or whatever it's called), and have them use the service on a near-daily basis.

Hi Gleb,
I'm about to sign up for the B2 Cloud Storage, just noticed a tiny typo in the "Keep costs down" section on https://www.backblaze.com/b2/cloud-storage.html:
"...the fist 1 GB of downloads per day are free."
sfaruque | 9 years ago | on: Ask HN: Do you still use UML?
If I must use UML, I prefer using Yuml (http://yuml.me) to generate them.
Easy to use, allows you to "code" the UML structure in a simple template language, and the output looks rather nice.

It seems like it's only for the United States at the moment.

Any suggestions for something similar with CodeIgniter or even native PHP?

I'm getting transfer speeds of ~970KB/s (checking using iStat). Averaging nearly 1MB/s isn't bad, but I'm curious, could this go faster?

I'm curious, why did they remove the <center> tag? What was wrong with it?

I've found that attempting to roll your tongue while this occurs tends to lift the sleep paralysis. No idea why this works though.
sfaruque | 12 years ago | on: Tell-all telephone – Six months of phone metadata visualized
Slight off-topic question: I want to collect my own metadata at this level (for just calls and SMS)?
From what I can tell I need to collect:
- List of all incoming and outgoing calls and SMS
- Get my location data and match them to the timestamp (?) of the calls and SMS's
- Display this on a map.
Any suggestions on how to do this?

Are you referencing this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3760583
page 1
But with the mobile and Mac app (haven't tried the iPad app yet), it shows a "list type" view (not sure if that's the correct term).
Are you considering adding a "week planner" view to at least the Mac app?
