The Co-operation Advantage and the new Theory of Niches
http://meedabyte.com/2012/03/04/the-co-operation-advantage-and-the-new-theory-of-niches/
It has been a long time now since Chris Anderson wrote his now famous post "The Long Tail" but my personal feeling is that only now, after almost eight years, we are seeing all the pieces of the theory of niches coming to the right place. Today, niches and communities are gaining a more and more active role in the inspiration, design, and, increasingly, even in financing and in the production itself of any product or service.
Make your health based on your food
Hi,
I would like to introduce you a website I launched recently. It's a "social" for sharing or selling recipes, this is the link: https://nyum.social/
This is not a unique and the best site from a certain point of view, but is different.
With different I mean it's designed to facilitate the user interaction and needs. When a person needs to look for a recipe generally googles it and arrives somewhere to compare 2 or 3 recipes, basing on the ingredients of each recipe and the diet the person is following, this ends with 1 recipe. Again googling the recipe nutrients facts the user discover that this recipe is not suitable for him, maybe because of calories or missing ingredient or whatever. At the end the user will try to look for another recipe, maybe this time by specifying the ingredients on some sites that permit it.
Another case is the person with a certain disease or nutrients facts needs, for him is almost impossible to find easily the right recipe.
What we did in this site is implementing all this needs, rendering easy and funny in someway the interaction between web and not "master" users.

Sonar 2.11 released
http://www.sonarsource.org/downloads/#2.11
The latest version of open source Sonar – platform to manage quality – now detects code duplications accross projects

Sonar – developped and promoted by SonarSource – has become a must-have in Software Factories of any mature development projects. Massively adopted by IT organizations, the Sonar platform provides Continuous Inspection capability on application portfolio to track quality defects and report them into customizable dashboards (test coverage, duplications, architecture integrity, rule compliance, complexity, etc.). Used by many large corporations, Sonar performs analysis on billions lines of code... daily.

What's hot in this release?

- Cross-Project Detection of Code Duplication: so far the detection of copy paste code was only done inside a project. Thanks to GSoC, Sonar has now got its own Copy-Paste Detection that is very scalable and can detect cross-projects duplications.

- TimeMachine 2.0, the ability to replay the past has been greatly improved and is now fully part of dashboards as it is widget based. This means that the evolution of any metric can be tracked along with the dashboard. And in order to not display irelevant analysis, it is now possible to removed them.

Hack everything by simply copying a cookie?
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17030081/how-do-i-prevent-session-hijacking-by-simply-copy-a-cookie-from-machine-to-anoth
Most Web Applications use cookies to manage the session for a user and allow you to stay logged in even if the browser was closed.

Lets pretend we did everything in the book to make sure the cookie itself is save.

encrypt the content
set http only
set secure
ssl is used for the connection
we check for tempering with the content of the cookie

Is it possible to prevent someone with physical access to the machine to copy the cookie and reuse it on another machine and thus stealing the session?

From the answers it does not seem like it.

Hi,

I've just launched a new website and would much appreciate your valuable and honest feedback.

I would appreciate your feedback on the design and usability of the site, but also on the idea and the name (by the way, Webifieds comes from Web + Classifieds).

Many thanks.

Ask HN: Where should a UK carbon impact investment be getting the word out?
(Sorry if this is treading on YC’s toes: do zap this post if out of order!)

We’re a start-up in the UK aiming to lop several percent off Europe’s carbon footprint (at low cost) by making domestic space heating work better before building fabric improvements. We have product, and we are selling it.

We have a crowd-fund in progress, see examples below of promotion in social media:

Twitter: https://twitter.com/MyRadbot/status/1199374186008985602
LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/company/vestemi/

The longer-term question is though, WHERE should we as an impact / climate / fuel-poverty investment (with that wired into our company objects) be getting ourselves heard? Though we are using IoT and AI, we aren’t a typical solution in search of a problem, so I think that with just specialist tech and general social media channels, were missing a trick and people who’d want to engage with our sort of activities and goals.

Advice please!

What don’t I know that I don’t know?

Modular, Maintainable & Reusable HTML/CSS
http://inspirationalpixels.com/articles/modular-maintainable-reusable-htmlcss
Keeping code modular and reusable is something to be admired. It's not always the easiest thing to do but it can dramatically improve your code base as well as your work-flow. It's not something you can just take a stab at now and again, making maintainable code takes a lot of effort, but putting in that effort pays off in so many ways when it comes to working on code over a large amount of time.
