It's so amazing, I was wondering if it's a computer simulation or for real. Great job! http://www.ect.nl/en/content/euromax-terminal-rotterdam

Tip for linux users: http://jonls.dk/redshift/

Redshift adjusts the color temperature of your screen according to your surroundings. This may help your eyes hurt less if you are working in front of the screen at night.

Good point. Also, best camera is the one you have with you: your phone.

Ask HN: How to measure and improve sleep quality?

Having recently read about deaths of Ryan Davis and Dave Goldberg, I wonder how we can monitor sleep quality, detect potential disorders and improve them. Most apps I've found seem crap, either requiring access to device phone number, or with poor reviews. From your experience, what worked best at measuring your sleep quality and identifying causes for lack of good sleep? (anything, not...

Thanks!

Do you know how this would perform with Linux? ASUS Zenbook UX305FA-ASM1 13.3-Inch Ultra-Slim Aluminum Laptop, 8 GB RAM and 256 GB SSD

Planning to do this. Any advice on how to meet people once you settled in a city? e.g. couchsurfing (request to go out for a tea)

Ask HN: What surprises do you make for loved ones?

Just read this http://aplus.com/a/father-john-wilhelm-photoshops-his-three-daughtersWhat other surprises/tricks do you do for your loved ones, using your skills? (design, coding, anything)For example, an ex-girlfriend pretended her phone was ringing while we were out, she picked it up and said "Yes, he's with me. ...

>For instance the security model for a browser should be ultra tight and protect the user from the site, but as a developer I'd want to access and modify my files directly through the inspector panel.

Re:Amazon Mobile Analytics on Monday September 29, 2014 @06:06AM (#8382232)
Hi,

What I'd like improved about Mixpanel:

* lower pricing (love the free tier, and until now I had just one client went beyond it and afforded to upgrade)

* be able to send notifications on events. I got sick of the excuse that "you've actually come across a really important characteristic of Mixpanel's data structure. People & Events both apply to users' distinct IDs, and sometimes appear to be working in tandem (e.g., people profile activity feeds), but the two sections of analytics actually live in two completely distinct data stores"

* do simple enhancements / bugfixes. I've sent suggestions to support, they said Yes, great, and nothing happened. Gave up. Examples: prefill notify me test email with current user's email address; fix properties in live view which are filled with custom links -- mixpanel will open those relative to report, instead of new window.

Re:New Heroku Dashboard and Metrics now in Beta on Wednesday August 06, 2014 @11:18AM (#8142877)
Thanks!

Sorry/surprised to see the Metrics feature is enabled only for applications with more than one running dyno.

My biggest question remains "When should I enable a 2nd dyno for my app?" Even better, I'd like to say to Heroku "when this app is overwhelmed, enabled at most X dyno(s), and turn them off as activity decreases".

For me it doesn't work with Google+ blocked by AdBlock (now that's a directive to push Google+ :-)
Yep. It's hardly usable (e.g. Done button at the top, keeping finger crossed when doing partitioning thanks to the confusing UI, asking to select the tiny city where I am on a world map...)

I've been using Fedora since... RedHat 4.2. The drop that filled the glass last week (using a nightly compose) was the new gnome3 behavior when coming back from turned off monitor to save power. Even though I disabled lock/screen saver/password, rather than just letting me continue where I was now I have to "slide" with my mouse the screen.

So I switched to Ubuntu. My first ever Ubuntu install. When asking about local time, it recognized the city where I was. Because, gee, I'm connected to the network. I learned how to use apt* stuff instead of yum&rpm, and I don't miss Fedora.

Re:Starters Guide to iOS Design on Wednesday May 22, 2013 @03:27AM (#5749360)
Question for designers: how do you share your designs with clients/team, in order to explore both design & workflows? (this would be at Photoshop stage, no coding started yet. An example: the series of Instanote mockups from the article)

Do you do this as a series of images in any order, or do you use some tool such as Invision, to build interactive prototypes?
