juanpdelaton Parallax effect from Google Lens Blur photos

How is the parallax effect working without using my mouse and shaking my laptop? Am I going crazy or do Mac Books Pro have accelerometers?

Edit: Had to google it, they have something called Sudden Motion Sensor http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1935

juanpdelaton Bill Introduced to Re-Legalize Cell Phone Unlocking

I wonder how much money things like this cost to countries. Not that they're not important, but going back and forth on some consumerism laws when there are still education, health and security issues, makes me thing politicians are just wasting tax payers' money all the time.

juanpdelaton How to calculate your hourly rate

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

So, in order to make the same $75k/year the employee makes in the example, the manager would have to hire around 6 employees with the same structure and have at least 6 projects per year.

juanpdelaton Proposition HN: I will pay $8000 for you to build your side-project/MVP

I think this is a great opportunity. As a developer coming from a third world country, I am sure many people could benefit from things like this. In a third world country, a student or recent graduate with no experience, would make those $8k in a year.

Wondering if the $512 reward had anything to do with being geek.

juanpdelaton Tons of iPhones deactivated, is this a sneaky way to force us buy an iPhone 5?

But why no help or advice from Tech Support and also not able to restore or do anything using iTunes.

juanpdelaton Tons of iPhones deactivated, is this a sneaky way to force us buy an iPhone 5?

I don't understand why you get mad at me, clearly you are not the one without your phone/contacts/emails not working. Just to make it clear, I really like Apple, is just that I expect them to keep doing well what they used to do well. The tech support is not giving any help and people is not being able to use their phones (in my case, a work tool and also the only way to keep connected while on the go) for a week with no answer whatsoever about this issue.

juanpdelaton Looks like github is down

Is it necessary to post on HN about every website down?

juanpdelaton Ask HN: How long should I wait before asking for a raise?

1) Mobile games/apps industry

2) iOS mostly but Android and Unity are on the queue as well

3) Yes, salaries start at 20k over what I'm making right now

4) Yes, and this is one of the reasons why I started thinking of a raise, some recruiters have contacted me and I asked one of them about the pay (just being curious because I'm very happy here), and he said exactly the rates you can see on glassdoor

juanpdelaton Microsoft.com New Design Preview

Wonder if they're planning to make ALL their web content responsive. A lot of work for their web devs!

juanpdelaton Sublime Text 2.0 Released

I agree. It would be great to see some revenue numbers, if it's really successful (which I think it is), it would be a nice model for other developers or software companies.

Would appreciate a NSFW disclosure, thanks!

Audio on Safari for iOS is not crippled, in fact, Google Music[1] and other apps, for example GrooveShark[2] work on Safari. [1] http://play.google.com/music/listen [2] http://html5.grooveshark.com

why it doesn't work on my iPhone if it's html5?

juanpdelaton See Websites Differently With Invisible Text, Only Pictures

Cool idea. It doesn't work for Gmail though.

juanpdelaton Is my SEO hurt using this type of redirects?

Ok I noticed some weird behaviour with links found on google news (even feeds from google news use the origial url as a get variable on their url), those were making my drupal installation detect a 404. I've made some changes and now every redirect is a 302, any thoughts on that?

BTW thanks a lot for noticing the 404 statuses.
