cseeluson Macaw – Code-savvy web design tool

On Low-Res devices running Linux or Windows, that is.

cseeluson What It's Like To Drop 150,000 Feet Straight Down [video]

Insane. Great, but insane.

They say they skip safety lines because its easier and faster. Wonder how often someone falls off while doing his work though.

cseeluson iPhone 6: An edgy concept

Wow, some of the reactions here are really petty-minded to me.

This guy just made mockups of a future iteration he imagined, of a product he probably uses and likes. Something designers have published to the interwebs for years. It can be fun and a nice way to improve on your skills.

It don't get what justifies the hate some people here show up with. If you don't like it, just skip it and enjoy something else.

cseeluson Anti-corruption blogger Navalny sentenced to 5 years behind bars

Didn't he announce to run for moscow major? As a Russian, maybe you can explain what exactly he did wrong?

cseeluson Logic Pro X

These kind of insightful/thougful comments are one of the reasons I (still) love hackernews.

cseeluson UK and Sweden veto espionage talks between US and Europe

After their hefty wiretap law of 2008, the strange circumstances of the 2010 allegations against Assange and now this, it seems to me that their ties with US intelligence and administration are tighter than many swedish citizens realize.

cseeluson Facebook Android app sends phone number to Facebook servers without consent

Facebook grabs or publishes data without users consent. Does that really surprise anyone anymore?

cseeluson Antiprism

There are times when it feels good to be european and at least have the realistic choice between more than two equally bad choices.

cseeluson Hair

Yeah HN once was more fun without all those naysayers and naggers that more often than not seem to just be uncreative and ingenious.

cseeluson Poll: Would it be OK for the NSA to spy if the code was publicly available?

No one asked the USA to systematically collect data about every citizen on this little blue planet.

cseeluson Why I'm boycotting US cloud tech

Any email provider out there in a 'safe location' that can compete with GMail? I'd really like to move the GMail Acc. I use for some of my mail, but every option kinda feels like moving from smoke to smother.

cseeluson Jekyll 1.0 Released

Strangely Middleman wasn't mentioned here as a alternative yet, so I'll do it: http://middlemanapp.com/

With its 'blog'-gem nex Jekyll features like excerpts and support for timezone-config have been implemented for a while.

cseeluson Dumped by Google

Same here. I guess there is no alternative that can match GMail in terms of abailability/reliability, features, spamprotection, 3rd-party support etc. Would be nice if there was some community-driven, non-profit alternative available for such basic, albeit important things like email though.

cseeluson Bitcoin Is Fundamentally Flawed

Again, the same is true for gold and several other metals.

cseeluson Show HN: Subvim – Vim customized to be like SublimeText

Did that too

Love this project. Sublime Text's awesomeness makes it hard to completely switch back to VIM, but this looks like a good approach to bring features we have grown to love back to VIM, without all the hazzle.

cseeluson Jakob Nielsen's site has been redesigned

Fonts in general and especially in the sidebar are to tiny for me to comfortably read it on my phone.

cseeluson Happily upgrading Ruby on Rails at production scale

I guess its the "quite a lot for a RoR system" part of your comment that some people may see as kind of offending, regarding Rails.

cseeluson GitHub is getting DDoSed again

Questions in case of Github remain: Who and why Its not like DDoSing a target of this size is totally 'free'.

cseeluson Be Happier with Zero Expectation

Glück ist Wirklichkeit minus Erwartungen.

(As far as I know think this saying originated in Hinduism in the first place and found its way into the german linguistic area somehow)

cseeluson IE10 for Windows 7 Globally Available

Does anyone here know if and if yes, when the 'Internet Explorer Application Compatibility VPC Images' (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=1157...) will be updated?

cseeluson Front-End CSS Frameworks

In contrast to Bootstrap and many other CSS frameworks we tested, Susy really enables you to write semantic, non-bloated HTML which can be strictly independent of the CSS you throw at it.

cseeluson Show HN: I built a tool to solve App Discovery

For me the first point you made was the reason I used this tool in the first place.

* Wanted to find a suitable alternative to Galaxy on Fire 2, which I finished and since space adventures are quite rare …

cseeluson Slate: a Mac OS X window manager for power users

Looks neat, albeit for me personally it might be a little over the top.

I use Moom (http://manytricks.com/moom/) for quite a while and I'm happy with it so far as it integrates perfectly into the overall UI of OSX.

You have of course also convenient (and customizable) shortcuts for actions like 'Move & Zoom Window to Left Half', which is quite handy for example for webdevelopment on a smaller screen (Macbook), where you might want your browser to occupy one half and your editor the other half of the screen.

cseeluson Mega update: Dotcom's service now accepts Bitcoin

Agreed.

I also see a market for a mail-service like Gmail, but operated from a company within Europe, so it has to adhere to European standards for data protection and privacy.
