Hacker News Reader

Just downloaded and tried the app. This is great for v1.0!

That being said, here's a bug report:

1) There's a typo in the "transfer details" card where it lists "adjustements"

2) Bitcoin payments don't show any info about the bitcoin transaction (or the fact that it's a bitcoin payment) in the payment details card.

3) The "payment details" card cuts off longer descriptions after about 30 characters

4) it would be nice to see logs via the app to track errors "on the go".

hbergon Bitcoin mining on a 55 year old IBM 1401 mainframe: 80 seconds per hash

Thanks for re-hosting it :-) I'm a sucker for "do modern things on old hardware".

Just saw a great project at Maker Faire where some guys re-purposed old WWII radar tubes to make playable video games, one of which was flappy bird.

hbergon End of the car age: how cities are outgrowing the automobile

To be fair, Hong Kong is an extremely dense city, built in a location with very little developable land.

The density is both the reason for the high cost of car ownership as well as the efficiency of its public transportation system.

hbergon SeatGeek Raises $62M

Hooray for the SeatGeek team!

I love their UI and onboarding process, and used it to get tickets to one of last year's world series games.

Thanks!

hbergon Stripe Connect v2

Heads up, another broken link. On this page: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/connecting-to-accounts#manag...

There's a link to learn more about managed accounts: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/managed-accounts

Which just shows "An unexpected error occurred" http://cl.ly/image/3V2k333n0d32

Please append this to the headline:

hbergon NextDoor raises $110M at a $1.1B valuation

Surprising how much money they've raised, since most of the content I see in my neighborhood is similar to craigslist.

Mostly they send a ton of email.

hbergon Rasmus Lerdorf Talks PHP 5.6, 6.0 and Beyond

I sat through his talk and I definitely recommend taking a look at the slides. The new language features are exciting (like argument unpacking in function signatures [1] and constant scalar expressions [2]). What was really useful was learning how to deploy atomically without killing existing requests[3].

hbergon IPhone 5 Sleep/Wake Button Replacement Program

They should do this for the home button as well. Both my 3GS and 5 have developed finicky home buttons.

hbergon Ask HN: Any of you who keep a journal like to try a beta release of our iOS app?

I've tried the web version and played with the iphone version. Slick app for keeping memories.
