Clean web workers using callbacks
https://github.com/BigIroh/Ozai
This library is a project I made to make web worker code easier to write and easier to read. As they stand, getting use out of web workers involves writing a series of messages and responses that are not standardized in any way between authors. The library I have created, Ozai, creates a web worker by passing a javascript object literal to its constructor. The result is a client-side object which represents the web worker. Instead of passing arbitrary messages, the author calls functions that are obvious to anyone reading the code, and passes them callbacks to fire when then web worker has completed its job.

Ask HN: How to run a remote election for a society?
I'll be running an election for a board of directors for a charitable society in my town next month. I'm looking for advice on how to do this.

Here are some constraints:
- I expect 30 to 70 voters
- The voters aren't technically savvy
- Ideally, the voting is anonymous
- As the results are binding, the election needs to have integrity
- People should be able to only cast one vote per election
- There will be multiple elections, one after another, for different positions (ex. President, Vice President, Treasurer, Board Member).
- We will take nominations "from the floor", meaning the people on the ballot are not known beforehand.
- We need the results right away (a few minutes after the vote starts, at most), as it doesn't make sense to run for Vice President if you were just elected President
- While most of the elections are to vote in a single person, with each voter voting for a single nominee, when it is time to vote for the board, each voter can voter for several people.
- If using a web-connected device, it is possible that two members may be sharing the same device.

While I love open-source software, I'm not opposed to something proprietary. There is a budget (although probably fairly small) to make this happen.

----

Some possibilities I can see:
- I understand you can have a meeting in Zoom, create a break-out room for everyone authorized to vote, and then run a poll. I think this would work reasonably well, except for spouses who are sharing a device for the call.
- Possibly, we could have a number of people running the election, and have a list of all the eligible voters. Each person could phone, text, or perhaps e-mail in their vote; we cross them off, and record the vote. Time consuming, and not fully anonymous, but possibly do-able.
- There does appear to be some software for this. I'm looking into it, hoping something will work and not break the budget. Some of it is not geared to this sort of audience at all.

3 blog kings of data

I get my information on databases, datastores, big-data, etc… primarily from 3 bloggers: Todd Hoff of High Scalability, Alex Popescu of myNOSQL, and Curt Monash of DBMS2. Each of them specialises in different areas and each has their own style and purpose, taken as a whole, they cover a lot of ground w/o a lot of dilution.

Hostile Code Bases
http://tatiyants.com/?p=501
I don’t like calling code bases legacy. The word “legacy” makes people think of Ivy League schools, vintage leather couches, and Dad’s old bottle of Scotch. It rarely elicits the kind of feeling of pain and despair one normally gets when dealing with old code. So instead, I prefer to call crusty old code Hostile.
Ask HN: Takes on our YC-App: “Awethu – using technology for the greater good”
# Background
I know there's less than 2 days before I could submit my YC-App but, I want to reach as many users as I can. I got to know about YC-deadline just few days ago, in fact about YC itself!
I (We) had less than 3 days to prepare our application. Therefore, in the limited time we have, I would like to request any/all previous YC-Alum from HN who has anytime to spare for reviewing our app.

# What it about
Awethu - a Crowdsourced solution to facilitate and improve transportation infrastructure in 3rd world / developing countries.

# Current status
We are still in the early stage of development, i.e., Only mockups/prototype is ready. The "proof-of-concept" is still in its early stages.

Question is: Does this have a major impact on our app ? If it does - How can we improve our odds AND Have you heard of any YC-Alum at the same stage at the time of application and got in?
Minimalistic git aliases
http://camarao.io/post/58124197038/minimalistic-git-aliases
Well, sort of, minimalistic. You read -v on the first two aliases and say whAt :) the point is, these actually give important information, while other aliases such as “st” (for status) eliminate verboseness, especially if you’re familiar with git and use it on projects with multiple origins, branches and contributors.

Ask HN: Where do you buy custom cables?
For many of my home / side projects, a custom cable (custom length, custom pair of connectors) would help immensely. It seems like a simple problem: Select connector A and B, and the length (perhaps shielding and wire type), quantity, and purchase.

Unfortunately, for many cases, digikey, aliexpress, and other go-tos do not have the options I need.

Ask HN: Steam vs Origin? Who dropped EA Games?
With the release of a new Steam version where publishers can put their own games on sale, there was a discussion on a Dutch forum ( http://tweakers.net/nieuws/94580/ontwikkelaars-mogen-voortaan-zelf-tijdstip-steam-sale-bepalen.html#r_6788781 )

There some people added the punchline: I don't buy any EA games anymore because of Origin.

I've had the same opinion over the last years, no more EA games (and Battlefield) and no Origin.

Who else has that opinion? And what's the best way to make EA realize it their going the wrong way, here on HN?

I want a DAMNodeInserted event
http://www.backalleycoder.com/2012/04/25/i-want-a-damnodeinserted/
DOM Level 3 Mutation Events were deprecated a while back due to performance and implementation concerns (http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Events/#events-mutationevents - http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-dom/2009AprJun/0072.html). While there has been talk of a replacement for these events (http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/wiki/MutationReplacement), I began to wonder if there was a way to listen for any of them without using the deprecated mutation event interface...turns out there is, at least for DOMNodeInserted (the event I needed). With the method I devised you can listen for DOM node insertions as long as your browser supports CSS3 Animations. In addition, it also allows you to scope the event to a subset of nodes based on the CSS selector you choose.

Check it out and let me know what you think!

Applied.at - job listing organizing made simple.
http://appliedat.com/
Just because you applied for a job, doesn't mean it will lend you a job. It’s a lengthy process in most cases. Yes, the resume and cover letter gets you on the eye of the hiring manager, but that’s not the end. The crucial process is the interview(s). Knowing the job description will help you a lot in preparing yourself to answer the interviewer or to ask your questions to interviewer.

Applied.at is here to solve these problems and make it easy for you to manage job listings. It’s a tool to solve the gap after you apply for a job to when you’re interviewed, and to the end when you should follow up with the employer.

It's an organizer web-app for job seekers like you, to help you easily capture and save job listings that you apply to or want to apply to, right from your web browser using Applied.at Chrome/Firefox/Safari extension. It helps you to easily trace back to the actual job listing (even if the listing gets deleted or expired) anytime, or once you are called for an interview. Applied.at emails and reminds you when to follow-up with a prospective employer (based on your reminder selection). You can also add a list (offline), view your saved listings, and manage follow-up reminders from your iPhone, Android, Blackberry, or Windows Phone using our app or by going to appliedat.com

Applied.at finally exits "beta", officially launching tomorrow, Sept 27, 2013 in NYC! Available now to download for Chrome, Firefox, and Safari: http://appliedat.com.

How 4 Million Google Searches Did Not Make Me Rich

Yeahh !! That’s right, 4 million searches/month for a keyword at $0.05 per click for a product.

Do the math;

If the product costs $15.00 and I get $3.00 per sale that will be 12 million dollars. Assuming 1% conversion we are looking at $40,000 / month

Now, if the domain name is availble I should not have any problem going to the top of the google rankings and just wait for the cash to flow in.

Guess what? I got the domain name ! ...
