Sudopad V2 – Now you can save your pads and create private boards
https://sudopad.com/settings
Sudopad is a link sharing board where you or others can add links and share them with others.

Imba has been a great language choice so far. It makes everything easy.

Now I have added authentication using Supabase, so you can login through Google oAuth or a magic link which allows you to have multiple pads and control if they are publicly viewable / editable or not.

Since Supabase doesn't have anon authentication, it is better to use rpc functions instead of adding policies. That way be default row level security blocks everything and rpc functions control who has access. That way I can prevent "select *" queries.
Social Experiment - join something you know nothing about
http://www.11kclub.com
Just for full disclosure - I am behind this site. The club and it's one exceptional benefit will remain a secret until 31 October. Only apply if you are available on 11 November. There are 11,000 spaces available but we'll decide on who is admitted to the club. This website was created for two reasons: 1. To see if people, in today's world, would join something they know nothing about. 2. To give 11,000 people something for free that will be of genuine benefit to them.

Thanks

Show HN: Kubernetes Introductory Course
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4zxKk2an3U
Hi All,

I've created a Free Kubernetes Learning course that I hope some of you will find useful, especially with Kubecon next week. Created this based on personal frustrations that I had when learning Kubernetes at first.

I found that some courses/technical resources gave a theoretical viewpoint of Kubernetes but didn't demonstrate these components directly in use. I also found that particular entities like the pause container were often overlooked, even though they were clearly shown in the video/course terminal output.

For this course I go with a slightly different approach. We configure our container runtime, setup a simple CNI driver and install Kubernetes. Then, we explore general usage. After that, we uncouple each component and re-attempt to run the same examples. As we do this we see where it does/doesn't work and bring online each component with an explanation of what it is and why it's important.

I Attended Kubecon back in 2019 on a Diversity scholarship. I have a type of Motor Neurone Disease which fortunately unlike most, is not terminal but it affects my walking (I use Nordic Walking poles for extra stability). At the time, I pledged as part of my application to make a free Kubernetes course and to give back to the community.

It took me longer than I anticipated but, here it is.

Thanks for your time.

Presentation: The Science of Computing and the Engineering of Software
http://www.infoq.com/presentations/tony-hoare-computing-engineering
Sir Tony Hoare discusses the relationship between the science of computing and the engineering of software. First, he looks at the general concerns of science (e.g. long term, ideal, formality) and engineering (e.g. short-term, adequacy, and dependability) before delving on the interdependencies of the two viewpoints. He concludes with a vision of what software will be like: "Someday ...".

Ignite Seattle 4: Startup Talks
http://radar.oreilly.com/archives/2007/09/ignite_seattle_5.html
At Ignite Seattle 4 we had fifteen great talks (all available on YouTube). As usual the talks were on topics that we felt geeks would appreciate. Two in particular contain sage advice for an entrepreneur. The first video is Leo Dirac's explanation of Venture Capital Term Sheets. The second is Dave McClure's talk on Startup Metrics (after the jump). Both five-minute talks were selected to do a reprise at Gnomedex.
Ask HN: GWT for Mobile Web Apps?
I'm a developer working on a web application that runs on mobile devices. The idea has been floated by others on my team that we should switch to using GWT.

The biggest argument is that Java has compile-time type checking and better language constructs. Second, the backend is written in Java so there could be some code reuse.

The web app has completely custom UI elements with animation, has to support touch and remote control input, and limited CPU. It's not a vanilla enterprise or CRM application.

Any thoughts? Has anyone out there written a mobile web app using GWT?

Show HN: SBS – A reformulation of SDS without heap allocation
https://github.com/nathanrpage97/sbs
I've been using SDS a lot and really like the library. However it sometimes feels like overkill because when I'm building strings I frequently know that it will be within some bound of length. The full dynamic length capabilities aren't necessary and can become a pain-point when doing error handling. But on the otherhand the <string.h> functions always feel very verbose to maintain.

As such to scratch my own itch this weekend, I've developed SBS. SBS reformulates SDS around providing pre-defined buffers to perform the operation on. This means no resource management and the opportunity to use it in embedded environments that do not have heap allocation.

It is still very early on (no tags yet) but I want to see if there exists other libraries in this area? All I can dig up online are built around dynamic heap allocation.

Startups Trying to Improve the Political Process
http://betakit.com/2012/03/14/startups-improving-political-process-election
Before 2008, winning an election didn’t require a social media strategy, or even a Twitter or Facebook account. Now running for any public office without a strong social media presence almost automatically sets a candidate up for failure. Startups are helping to engage voters in the political process, and providing tools to politicians. VoterTide is providing social media analysis to quickly figure out what issues supporters care about and react quickly to breaking news. Other startups like Votizen and Votifi are trying to make sure that voters aren’t just involved in the political process every four years, but every day.
How this Mac app improved my productivity in work-from-home situation
Recently, I switched from iOS to Android. And I was missing Apple's Continuity feature. Where I could easily make or receive phone calls on Mac, get access OTPs, messages quickly on my Mac.

I noticed I was ending up landing social media or hacker-news :D spending hours every-time I picked up my phone for a call(there're a lot in this work from home situation).

And then after spending a day, going through a lot of spam! I noticed this app on App Store called "Connecton". I'm surprised why was it hard to find it.

Putting out loud, so that I can save someone's time who needs this.

Kudos Connecton team!
Bitcoin-wizards including Adam Back&Satoshi Create Bitcoin 2.0
http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/22na59/sidechains_the_coming_death_of_altcoins_and/
It turns out that Adam Back who invented HashCash the proof of work system used by Satoshi to create the blockchain with a bunch of bitcoin-wizards lived in a house in California for a month and invented a new Blockchain 2.0 that shards the blockchain to allow for unlimited scaling, multi-currency support and will change the face of bitcoin for ever. This is the most exciting news since the original whitepaper on Bitcoin. Already some suspect that Satoshi is involved somehow. They talk about it on the Let's Talk Bitcoin podcast and a summary is here,

Ask HN: How to secure hardware? any existing solutions?
I want to prevent counterfeit hardware from being used in a machine. The solution should be stand-alone,so independent from the existence of a network.

How would I approach this? Do solutions already exist? I am by no means a security expert.

Ask HN: Evaluating app ideas?
Me and a friend have been thinking of multiple ideas for smartphones [and iPad]. I expect that we'll continue coming up with ideas till we have a bunch, and then decide what to work on. We already have a few ideas, but are not sure how to go about evaluating the viability of those ideas [Would a large number of people want it? Would they pay for it? Approximately how much effort would this app be worth? etc]

For example one of the ideas we had is something similar to "Local Chat" for iPhone [ link http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/local-chat-whats-good/id307838489?mt=8 ]. We would definitely want to use the app we want to make, but other than that, how do we objectively evaluate the idea.

The State of (Mobile) Web Development 2011
http://www.webdirections.org/sotmw2011/
Great report on the state of mobile web development. Some key findings:

* 2010 saw an explosion of interest and activity by developers in HTML5, and developing native apps for mobile platforms like iOS and Android using web technologies.
* Android gains dramatically on iPhone as developers’ regular mobile browsing platform
There is a correlation between the devices and platforms developers use, and those they develop for.
* Web site testing across a wide range of mobile devices jumps significantly.
* JQuery Mobile leads from JQTouch and SenchaTouch in a still immature mobile frameworks market place.
* Three quarters of respondents expressed an interest in developing native apps using web technologies in the coming year, with 30% likely to do so.
* iPhone, iPad, along with Android phones and tablets all show strong interest from developers, while other platforms have their work cut out to woo web developers.
* Web developers express confidence in developing native apps using HTML5, with reservations about application performance and user experience.

Ask HN: What companies are exploring interesting uses of hackathons?
I have read articles where companies use hackathons as interview techniques. I am curious if any companies use open registration hackathons for other things like product prototyping or other utility. I imagine that it could be a fun exercise, and since its intentionally ephemeral and you have zero understanding of the quality of output you'ld get you could prototype stuff fairly cheaply.

What companies have done interesting things with hackathons? are they only internal or also open registration?

I run a blog,

- is it rightly placed in a page? Size dimensions or any?
- does reading an article is impacted?
- do carbon ads has a potential to generate above average revenue?
- What's the general perception of these ads?

My intent it to keep sanity of my blog and if in case reading is impacted due to ads placement, then will take a hard call. And do Carbon ads is a wiser decision or anything else (no google ads) i should look for?
