jpdlla··on Videogrep: Automatic Supercuts with Python
Really impressed with the example of instances of specific grammatical structures. Really great application of something useful with this script.
jpdlla··on Parrot Bebop
Owning an AR.Drone 2.0 the thing I most hate is using their mobile app to control them. The Bebop looks small enough to make it worth using my mobile to control it. I can see why the introduced the Skycontroller which looks pretty interesting. Saw a guy build something like this for his homemade drone.

jpdlla··on Show HN: SVYFT – Team collaboration built around group chat
Is it pronounced maybe like how a Russian might saw swift? I can't help but say it like that.
jpdlla··on Couple Live Map
Really like seeing those long distance connections being made. Kinda awesome to think about couples making it work even if they are in the opposite hemisphere.
jpdlla··on Arecibo Observatory Detects Mysterious, Energetic Radio Burst
Pretty cool seeing this here. I recently met someone who works at the observatory here in the island in a Python user group meeting. I was intrigued by the kind of work he did over there with Python. But was instantly bummed out when he told me how their budget has been so dramatically cut during the past few years. There's some interesting things regarding budget, and one of the latest repairs that had to be done after an earthquake north from Puerto Rico damaged one of the suspension cables that support a 900 ton telescope platform here http://www.planetary.org/blogs/guest-blogs/2014/0409-arecibo...
jpdlla··on Show HN: Hipster Domain Finder
Really? Well that just sucks. I was thinking of buying a good one I saw.
jpdlla··on The Next Chapter
Congrats to Karri and Jori. Really enjoyed collaborating and helping out with developer resources while building FeedLeap. Best to both.
jpdlla··on Thumbnails and metadata for almost any kind of file
Thanks for the transparency and clearing that up. I'm sure it wasn't clear to many others that occasionally try to help us be upvoting or commenting on any of our posts. Though this submission was posted to HN by somebody else. I'll make sure that people we know, know about this. Sorry again.
jpdlla··on Thumbnails and metadata for almost any kind of file
Hey HN, one of the developers of FilePreviews here, I can answer any questions you might have.
jpdlla··on Avocode – preview and inspect PSD without Photoshop
For one, you can export to CSS, LESS, SASS and Stylus. I think Parfait only exports to CSS.
jpdlla··on Avocode – preview and inspect PSD without Photoshop
This looks way better than what Adobe is doing with https://projectparfait.adobe.com/
jpdlla··on Baremetrics for Buffer
Blog post for some more info about this http://open.bufferapp.com/buffer-public-revenue-dashboard/
jpdlla··on API for file previews, OCR and metadata (.psd, pdf, doc, ppt, more)
One of the developers here. I just wanted to say that for this demo we are using a "demo api" which doesn't need a server. You can generate previews and metadata on JavaScript only apps.

For server based API calls we have a proper REST API.

I can answer any question you might have.

jpdlla··on Project Naptha: a browser extension that enables text selection on any image
@antimatter15 any recommendations for optimizing Tesseract?
jpdlla··on Gabriel García Márquez, Literary Pioneer, Dies at 87
My first favorite novel in spanish was of GGM, "Relato de un náufrago"(The Story of a Shipwrecked Sailor). Many don't know but the full title is actually "Relato de un náufrago que estuvo diez días a la deriva en una balsa sin comer ni beber, que fue proclamado héroe de la patria, besado por las reinas de la belleza y hecho rico por la publicidad, y luego aborrecido por el gobierno y olvidado para siempre."(The Story of a Shipwrecked Sailor: Who Drifted on a Liferaft for Ten Days Without Food or Water, Was Proclaimed a National Hero, Kissed by Beauty Queens, Made Rich Through Publicity, and Then Spurned by the Government and Forgotten for All Time.)
jpdlla··on ExpressJS 4.0 has been released
If you're also wondering about what the changes were for 4.0 https://github.com/visionmedia/express/blob/master/History.m...
jpdlla··on A Better Way to Track JavaScript Errors
You should look into WP Super Cache https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-super-cache/
jpdlla··on Pkgr.io: Easy way to get a Debian package out of any app
This is exactly the same scenario I had in mind. This would allow projects to have an easier way to distribute some kind of Enterprise version of a web app. Will definitely take a look.
jpdlla··on Graph TV – The Simpsons
This is great stuff! One that I found pretty interesting was House of Cards http://graphtv.kevinformatics.com/tt1856010.

Notice how first and last episode of season 2 are way up there.

jpdlla··on OpenStreetMap in Crayon
Getting a Heroku Application Error.
jpdlla··on Show HN: Cloak – Incognito mode for real life
Not to be confused with Cloak VPN https://www.getcloak.com/
jpdlla··on A JSON field type for Django
Thanks for the answer. Would it be possible to query against this field?
jpdlla··on A JSON field type for Django
This looks great, but how does it compare to already existing options like django-jsonfield or jsonfield?
jpdlla··on Squirt.io – Readability Meets Spritz Speed Reading
I have to admit I was very surprised it worked so well. I was very skeptical and hopeful when trying it but I'm very glad it does. Thanks for the great work!
jpdlla··on Squirt.io – Readability Meets Spritz Speed Reading
This is awesome and it works great on iOS's Safari!
jpdlla··on Real-time Search as a Service
That explains why I noticed a couple of things off on my aggregator. I was using hnsearch.com/rss which recently seemed to have been alter and is now missing most of the data I was actually using.

jpdlla··on Saying goodbye to Python
Thanks for all the awesome work, Python and the community wouldn't have gotten to where they are without people like Ian.

"There is no community that created Javascript like the Python community created Python. Python comes from the internet in a way Javascript does not; Javascript was built for the internet, but Python was built on the internet."

jpdlla··on Show HN: Automatic VPN Generator – Protect Yourself at Sochi and Starbucks
Thanks for the info! That's definitely helpful. Maybe it should be a bit more prominent, like adding that "Why should I trust you?" section to the main page below(or above) "What is a VPN?".
jpdlla··on Show HN: Automatic VPN Generator – Protect Yourself at Sochi and Starbucks
This is awesome, but there's always something that makes me feel uneasy when asked for API keys like this. They could probably list and delete any and all of my droplets with that kind of credentials, couldn't they?
