rafaqueque··on Ask HN: How do you keep track of everything?
I started tracking my daily routine (the ones that can be quantified) and built a project around that. It's now available to everyone. The code will be open sourced in a couple of months.

rafaqueque··on Show HN: Outstanding Bar
No e-mail validation. The idea is cool, but this is a basic feature for an e-mail subscription plugin.
rafaqueque··on Show HN: Count your stuff, learn from data
I have a REST API in place already (you can check the graphs page and use that endpoint to return whatever you want from your data), but read-only at the moment, as I'm doing some adjustments to the 'write' part. You'll be able to insert data in JSON, bulk or not, within days. Need to write documentation and put it live.

The tokens are just a simple GET call you can make and it counts +1 to the dataset (for that token).

The stack is Django, Postgres, uWSGI, nginx.

rafaqueque··on Show HN: Count your stuff, learn from data
You have a tokens section and you can use them to enter data automatically by calling the endpoints from, let's say, anything. Rasperry Pi comes to mind as an example for that.

You can use HACKERNEWS invite code to play around with it.

Insane.

Nice move.
rafaqueque··on Sublime Text 3 builds picking up steam again
I've used ST in the past, but due to slow release cycle, I switched to Vim. What really bugs me in ST is the fact that the guy doesn't have time to work, but still, it's not open source for the community to work together to achieve a decent release cycle.
rafaqueque··on Ask HN: What do you do if some other startup got funding for your exact idea?
Ship it. The idea is now valid and you can learn from their mistakes.
rafaqueque··on Show HN: New Hacker News web client
Looks very good. Well done.
rafaqueque··on Good IRC channels
I'd suggest #startups at Freenode.
rafaqueque··on Show HN: Simple monitoring service
Congrats on shipping!

I wrote a software like this, tried to ship it but I failed. Now it's open-source for everyone.

If you're interested, grab it.

rafaqueque··on Ask HN: I'm having doubts about LastPass security, what should I switch to?
Create a pattern in your head. Let me try to explain what I'm using.

1. Create a prefix that will be in every password, like: MniJ33 -- quite easy to remember "My name is John, 33 years old".

2. Based on the service you want to use, apply that to the password as well, like: Hnews

3. A suffix with some special chars is also nice, to make it more complicated, like: #$%

The final result would be "MniJ33Hnews#$%". Better than giving your password to anyone.

Edit: Forgot the numbers in the final result.

rafaqueque··on Give or receive 1 hour of coding help in 2015
Signed.
rafaqueque··on Nexus 6
Being a long time Android user with fairly large screens (+5"), I'm now using an iPhone 5C for three days and I really love its size. I guess that even the iPhone 6 is way too much for me. Around 4", it's the ideal size for me.
rafaqueque··on Edward Snowden’s Privacy Tips: “Get Rid of Dropbox,” Avoid Facebook and Google
What should we use then? If someone tells me to change X program, please, give me alternatives, otherwise, I'll stick with that.

PS: Quite ironic to see him saying "get rid of Google", through an Hangouts session.

rafaqueque··on Final – A credit card built for the 21st century
Using always the same guy for every single product launch is not that appealing. Specially when this guy also made the video about onlycoin.com.

It's getting weird.

rafaqueque··on Ask HN: What are your sources of inspiration and motivation?
You won. Amazing, thank you.
rafaqueque··on Ask HN: What are your sources of inspiration and motivation?
A good source of inspiration, motivation and -- important to mention as well -- abstraction from the real world, is clearly some Spotify playlists based on white noise and world sounds. When I hit the play button, I'm not here for the next hours and I can really focus on whatever I'm doing at the moment.
rafaqueque··on I'm Leaving Mojang
It's not always about money, as he said.

Classy move by Notch. Respect.

rafaqueque··on Show HN: Kevlar.io – Secrets that when accessed are deleted permanently
Did the same to try Node.js.

rafaqueque··on 18 and hopeless
I didn't finish high school even.

I'm 23, programming since 13 and working professionally since 18. Working at a startup at the moment -- my second job ever. Never worked outside the computer engineering area.

Go for it, apply to startups in EU/USA.

If a startup don't hire you because you don't have a degree or whatever, they're doing it wrong. Work for them for 1 week and see how things go.

Do whatever works for you and be happy.

rafaqueque··on Ask HN: I've been accepted to Google Startup Launch, now what?
Nop, nothing else. Still no answer.
rafaqueque··on Ask HN: I've been accepted to Google Startup Launch, now what?
Have to agree. Relationship with other people on the same boat and mission is always good. Is that an official community? Haven't checked yet.
rafaqueque··on Ask HN: I've been accepted to Google Startup Launch, now what?
I'm a bit disappointed. Maybe I was expecting just a bit more out of this, but let's see what will happen. I'll contact them just to get more info.
rafaqueque··on Pass: The standard unix password manager
I like this stuff. I'm crazy about terminal utilities and this one is a must, but when it comes to passwords, I have them stored in my head, with a pattern. I can go to a website after 5 years and still remember what I'm supposed to type, so I guess I'll stay with this option.

  Known issues:
  - If you're drunk, it's a bit difficult to remember anything 
  - If you're sick, probably won't work properly as well
  - If you're dead, won't work, 100% sure
rafaqueque··on Is It Snowing Yet?
Wrote a website similar to that: http://canileave.com
