I wonder how Apple is going to react to this. This basically allows developers to issue app updates and bypass the Apple App Store verification process.

Nothing for me either with a rMBP
Is there a similar tool for Python?

Great to see a software blogger from Montreal
Re:HackerChat – A private chat for the HN community on Monday May 26, 2014 @09:39AM (#7799672)
Same thing happens to me. Once I received the confirmation e-mail and click on the link, the url on that page "continue to our website" brings to Designer Chat nor Hacker Chat

JavaScript: The Good Parts. Made me see JS in a much more elegant way. Coding JS is not trivial. I did use JS in webdev in general, and APIs. But really, I would have never known the mysteries behind it such as prototypal inheritance.
I'm surprised this IEEE article didn't even mention Git
Re:Show HN: My first iOS app – Permeate, the Twitter digest on Saturday April 26, 2014 @03:23PM (#7652458)
Very nice app, simple, intuitive and clean design. However, I would definitely like more tweets! Preferably, an infinite scroll down/refresh, I'd say. Keep up the good work!
Wow, this is nicely done, very neat. Great job!

Just out of curiosity, is this a native app? I really like the animations of the modal windows, I wonder how you made them so awesome!

Re:Ask HN: How do you read your programming books? on Wednesday April 23, 2014 @08:21PM (#7637827)
I prefer the classical paperback, which you can easily highlight/write notes. However, I just carry a programming book to learn low-level details during my daily commute. Most of my learning is done during practice referring to online resources.
I remember your 2nd place win at HackMIT, congratz again. It was THE most useful hack by far and I'm glad you've made it a public product now, and free. Wow, it seems like you beat all those years industrial OCR products... and by far. This is simply amazing, keep on the great work!!!

Amazing, looks like transformers will someday be a reality!
Re:Crate.io – Big Data SQL in real time on Friday April 18, 2014 @12:34PM (#7609846)
It seems like replicating NoSQL with SQL?

Re:ASk HN: I Need a Self-hosted blog platform on Friday April 18, 2014 @01:53AM (#7608099)
A lot of hackers use Octopress http://octopress.org/ it is a framework over Jekyll which lets you write posts in an easy way like Wordpress. It also contains templates so you don't have to take care of the HTML/CSS/JS like in Jekyll
Re:Ask HN: Why aren't Google, Facebook or Twitter CAs? on Friday April 18, 2014 @01:49AM (#7608095)
Sorry for my ignorance but what is a CA? Here in Canada, CA stands for Chartered Accountant.
Stay strong. The best way to stay focused is to follow your passion, keep doing what you truly like to do. During your spare time, keep yourself busy with things you enjoy. Always keep yourself busy. Don't hesitate up some friends, even those you didn't see for a long time. Set yourself goals which you'll enjoy following. Stay strong and enjoy everything you do :)
I would volunteer to help out at next year's Pycon in Mtl if you're planning to do produce a similar survey
This is astonishing... But anyone else feels like this sounds like trolling? There is no actual video, but only pictures. And perhaps, maybe it's just me, but I don't see how high heat can resurrect the logic board?
Wow, ingenious! This is cool, but will my DVD cover go back to Argo once it cools down? If not...all the DVD covers will be pizzas.. We won't be able to differentiate them anymore.
Re:Linear algebra tutorial in four pages on Tuesday December 10, 2013 @05:05PM (#6884113)
Wow amazing stuff here, I agree with you that most math textbooks in our education system fail to explain concepts which are supposed to be very simple. Thank you so much for making things simpler. I'm having MATH 270 final next week at McGill, this is going to help a lot in studying :)
