The simplest thing that could possibly work in Tetris
http://pivotallabs.com/the-simplest-thing-that-could-possibly-work-in-tetris/
Writing Tetris inspired by Ward Cunningham: “What’s possible? What is the simplest thing we could say in code, so that we’ll be talking about something that’s on the screen, instead of something that’s ill-formed in our mind. Once we get something on the screen, we can look at it. If it needs to be more, we can make it more.”

Rackspace adds Managed Cloud option, drops low-end dedicated servers

Show HN: Stay Home Hack - remote hackathon community
Hi HN,

My name is Blair and I started Stay Home Hack as a way to help the community support each other through this challenging time.

I’m a data science and technology professional based in Sydney and have helped to organise some of the biggest hackathons and civic tech communities in the world including GovHack and Data for Democracy.

Stay Home Hack (https://stayhomehack.com) is a fully remote hackathon helping our society stay connected, productive and healthy.

We’re supporting entrepreneurs, innovators, engineers, designers, researchers, analysts come together in a series of online events designed to build and launch solutions to emerging local problems of specific cities.

What started as a Sydney focused event quickly turned global with talented people from Belgium, Bangladesh and Singapore jumping onboard and we haven't stopped yet.

Join the private beta of my app. VoteChat (IOS only) 
http://www.distributeapps.com/app/votechat-GBr4FJotFvphsJI-27-09-2013/home.php
VoteChat is a group messaging platform where ideas (or messages) are exchanged by friends and then voted on by the group. Sort of like Quora meets What's App. The platform is designed for someone who wants to quickly get feedback on potential ideas or plans for the group. All winning ideas will be logged so that members can see what has been decided when returning to the app. A bit of an inspiration is trying to compile some sort of dynamic chatting on a mobile screen that would resemble reddit's discovery eXperience. It will primarily be available on IOS, as well as email functionality for those who don't have iPhones soon. Android and Facebook versions will be subsequently be built. Any feedback is appreciated.

How I Quit My Job (4 months ago) to Travel the World
http://www.blogbasecamp.com
In Sept of last year, I was REALLY nervous about leaving my job as an executive director getting paid a nice plump salary. But I actually did it because I was miserable working 100 hours a week. But earlier in 2013, I had started a website as a hobby that started to become somewhat successful.

I've always been into business and marketing and so I had started this website to help start-ups and entrepreneurs (see it at www.blogbasecamp.com). So this website was a way for me to really just jot my ideas down on "paper". Then I thought that I could pursue it as a career.

So in Sept 2013, I quit my job to pursue the website full-time. Since then, I've decided to redesign the site and it re-launches on Feb.1.

I was REALLY anxious because I was leaving a lot of $$$, but I've been doing okay so far. I'm putting food on the table, have a roof over my head, and been traveling a little bit. Best of all, I'm not working 100 hours a week.

I'm really grateful to other entrepreneurs and forums like this one because it has given me influence when I needed it. Thanks.

Game of Thrones looks terrible streaming over hotel wifi (HBO Go?)
http://interchangeproject.org/2012/05/14/game-of-thrones-looks-terrible-streaming-over-hotel-wifi/
HBO thinks that showing audio-only streams of TV shows will stop piracy (yes, HBO actually shows audio-only streams of TV shows instead of allowing offline caching or the purchase of videos through iTunes or Amazong).

HBO Go is anything but a to go app without offline caching.

Look at the photos from this post; it looks like late 1990s Web video.

Why Do I Seek Professional Support From Email Marketing Company?
http://www.rupizxpress.com
Everyday we are typing hundreds of emails and shooting to our corporate peers and personal associates , then how come is it necessary to resort to an email marketing company for branding or selling products online? Why and how do those email marketing solution providers make an email look different than an email composed by us? Many a times, I have come across on the net or by manually spread out fliers or pamphlets that email marketing companies are offering email marketing templates or wizards, content management services targeted to create compelling email contents, adding alluring graphical appearance. Along with this, these email marketing agencies offer list of mailers to be sent, selection of promotional offers to be declared through emails, tracking software for calculating recipients' responses etc., and that too at low cost budget. Before I jump to conclusions, I need opinion on their effectiveness or whether is it really feasible to seek so called 'professional' assistance in building or maintaining customer relations from an email marketing company?

Bash One-Liner for Getting Arduino Serial Data to Stdout 
https://github.com/gskielian/Arduino-DataLogging/tree/master/Bash-One-Liner
Have the data go directly to stdout, or you can send it to a file, and monitor it. Timestamping and triggers can be set within the `awk` portion

to stdout
```bash
cat /dev/cu.usbmodem1421 | awk '{ for (i=0; i<NF; i++) printf $i + system("date +,%s")}'
```

this will say "ITS OVER 9000!" when the data increments.
```
cat /dev/cu.usbmodem1421 | awk '{ for (i=0; i<NF; i++) if($i == 9001) {system("say ITS OVER 9000\!")} printf $i + system("date +,%s")}' >> sensor_readings.dat
```

Just remember to change the `cu.usbmodem1421` to your arduino's serial port, and fire away!

Ask HN: Help regarding Email Parsing and Analysis
Hi,

I am working on something as a side project currently and planning out the feature set of the product. I wanted to know if there's a library or module in Python that works w.r.t. parsing emails forwarded to a particular email address.

use case: User forwards an email receipt recieved from any particular vendor (amazon or ebay or etsy etc.) to a specific email address. The details of the email body get parsed grabbing the essential information (vendor name, product name, date of purchase, etc.) and stores it to the users profile. The list of such details from various sources is then accessible from a central console if i may say so.

Is there a good way to approach this? Any pointers would be helpful.

Thanks.

Microsoft disqualified from first offical EU cloud office software procurement

Kammarkollegiet is a Swedish authority that amongst other things performs procurement deals for Swedish government authorities and counties.

Microsoft claims they were unfairly disqualified by the conditions of the procurement since they required users to have a local Microsoft Office install. The winners of the official procurement are Google Docs and VMWare Zimbra.

Microsoft also says that they put extra care in this procurement since it is the first of its kind within the EU.

Show HN: WeakVim, My attempt at a modular, transparent starter kit for Neovim
https://github.com/weakphish/WeakVim
Hi all,

I _love_ Neovim. However, I think many parts of it could be easier to configure or understand, especially when it comes to LSPs. There's a ton of plugins that fill the gap, but some of them are sparse in documentation. There's also distributions like LunarVim that attempt to add a Doom Emacs-like layer above.

My approach is a bit different, simply giving an opinionated, modular, and documented configuration that an interested user can easily modify to their needs. It makes use of the most helpful plugins I've encountered to create the best experience I could muster while retaining an air of simplicity.

I hope this is helpful to someone out there!
Ask HN: I've got a question about Facebook and Twitter integration
I've got an e-book that I'm writing and I want to offer it on my website for $5 to download. Now I know there are some people that won't want to pay for the e-book so I want to give them an opportunity to download the e-book in exchange for sending out a status update on facebook or a tweet saying that they just downloaded the e-book.

My question is: is it possible to integrate facebook and/or twitter into a website and let the user download a file only after they send out a tweet or status update? I have some experience with PHP but would probably have to hire someone to do the work for me.

I feel like it should be possible to check to see if they update their status/send a tweet, I'm just not quite sure how to go about doing it.

One problem I can see with this distribution model: how would you prevent people from creating a new account to send the status update/tweet if they do not want to bug their friends about an e-book they just downloaded?
