“Intelligent Doorbell” Uses FR to Make Homes Socially Intelligent"
http://www.getchui.com
Innovative Chui™ Doorbell can identify owners and visitors and make homes smarter

DALLAS, TEXAS, February 26th, 2014 —Beginning tomorrow, consumers and businesses can place advance orders for the Chui “intelligent doorbell,” which blends facial recognition, machine learning and other proprietary technologies to improve security, enhance convenience and promote efficiency in homes and workplaces. The innovative device, developed by Dallas tech start-up 214 Technologies, can be ordered at www.getchui.com starting February 27.

Chui delivers real time notifications to the owner’s smart phone or computer that include the visitor’s image, name and timestamp, while also offering the option of two-way audio and one-way video. If the visitor—such as a friend, family member or delivery person—has been “enrolled” by being photographed using either the Chui device or a web or mobile application, the notification will also identify the visitor and unlock a suite of innovative features. Whether Chui owners are inside their home or business, in the car or travelling overseas, the notifications let them know whenever someone is at their front door.

Chui also offers Identity Based Audio that plays personalized messages upon recognition. For example, the owner can record a message telling a friend where a key to the front door is hidden, or a message telling a delivery person where to leave an important package.

In addition to playing pre-recorded messages for designated visitors, Chui can spare its owner the hassle of an awkward encounter with its Do Not Disturb feature.

Chui can be further enhanced by pairing it with Internet-connected locks and smart lighting systems. These pairings allow the door to be unlocked, or the inside lights to be turned on, when Chui recognizes an authorized face.

Show HN: Simple Go mocks without interface{}s
https://github.com/micvbang/go-mocky
I've been a pretty happy user of mockery [1] for a while, but recently found it getting a lot in my way.
Since mockery uses a lot of interface{} magic, adding arguments or return values to interfaces and regenerating the mocks does not get the compiler to complain about existing, now invalid, usages of the mocks. This means that I have to track them down manually. Or, if I'm brave enough, try my hand at a few crazy regexes that never get the job 100% done.

go-mocky does not use interface{}s, and thus can't hide changes to function signatures from the compiler; whenever a mock has been updated and the function signature has changed, the compiler will complain for all existing tests. This means that I can now catch errors at compile/lint time instead of runtime.

Another added benefit is that the go-mocky mocks are dead simple and very easy to write and maintain by hand, should the need ever arise.

Ask HN: Should I go back to school?
I've been working as a front-end developer professionally for the last 4 years doing mostly HTML, CSS, and JavaScript and I'm looking to make a change. I feel like I'm not growing intellectually; I'd rather be doing back-end or mobile development. The solution may be as simple as switching jobs, but I think there's an elephant in the room: I think I lack a grasp of the fundamental principles that would make me not only a good coder, but a good thinker. I've worked really hard at learning some of these myself, but I think I've hit a wall. In my spare time I do Python and have begun dipping my toes in Clojure, and I find I really enjoy both, but I think the ability to build and reason about large and scalable applications seems out of reach at the moment.

I have a BA in Econ but I'm thinking of going back to school for CS. Returning to my alma mater would cost me no more than $30k in total and would take no more than 2 years. Is it worth it, or should I continue working and invest my time in self-education? I feel like credentials can be overrated, but I see a real value in pursuing a CS education.

Are Ex-Developers Good Project Managers?
http://marekblotny.com/2010/07/are-ex-developers-good-project-managers/
Sooner or later developers have to start thinking about their career path. They are facing a question like 'I have been programming for x year ... now what?'. As I see it there are three potential career paths for developers. One of them is well known path from development to project management. Quite often you can hear that developers are not good project managers. But they have one big advantage over non-ex-developers - they know what debugging is!

A flexible, scalable, relational data mining language
http://www.rseventeen.com/
Widely used data mining systems are expensive in...
...time (configuration, tuning, indexing, query run times)
...money (licensing, hardware, services)
...flexibility (must discard or index data to make queries tractable)
...or in some cases all of the above.
r17 is our response to these problems.

Language features

* Built-in concurrency, including cross-machine concurrency.
* Strong type checking at stream-header-read time.
* Complex data transformations including 'if/then':
rel.select(
(if (str.starts_with(name, "Johann") || (j_i > 0)) then (
"Another Johann"
) else (
"No Johann"
)) as johann_nature);
* rel.select can refer to the output of the previous record transformation, allowing accumulator-like operations.
* Perl-compatible regular expressions.

Updated from Feedback - RateMySite: [coffee][talk] san.francisco
http://coffee.gabandgo.com/sanfrancisco
Thanks to everyone who offered up some feedback. Based on all of the comments I've added a few additional items to the site, while still trying my best to keep to a minimalist approach.
Included now are:
- Twitter connection to auto-update your account (uses OAuth so no username/pw necessary)
- Twitter connection to a [coffee][talk] account (this is similar to watching the table update, but through a central twitter account http://www.twitter.com/coffeetalksf)
- Simple message integration (ability to send e-mail to friend(s) to let them know where you are - secondary to this, toying with the idea of throwing in a GMail hook to grab contacts, any thoughts?)
- Ability to change how long you plan to be at the shop for
- Ability to add what you're interested in/where you're located
- Search feature
- Ability to hide/display add'l details on people in the table

I believe that's it. As always, I appreciate any additional comments!

Ask HN: How to Open Source?
I have developed a privacy-focused survey tool called BlockSurvey. I bootstrapped it over last 18 months and I've just crossed over $1k in MRR. Right now, I'm working to make it open source. It's more difficult to do since there are 10+ repos and plenty of hosting configurations. How does one do it?

Should it be a phased out process with UI first and then services. The stack is Angular JS for UI, Cloudfunctions and Realtime DB from Firebase. For the way forward, should I accept donations for futher development and contributions for community members who would help with? or should I get into a strategic parternship with existing privacy focused tech players.

How are your Astrocytes (why getting enough sleep makes you smarter)
http://www.nontoxin.com/astrocytes-sleep-makes-you-smarter/
Who needs more sleep?

An athlete who has run a marathon?
A grad student who has completed an intense math test?

Answer: Astrocytes.

Okay, that’s not the real answer. The real answer is the grad student. But the reason for this answer is astrocytes.

Neurons use a lot of energy as they send messages and signals through your brain. But they’re unable to store energy themselves.

Astrocytes store the chemical energy needed for the neurons in your brain to work effectively.

Strenuous mental activity activates more neurons, depleting the energy stored in the astrocytes.
Your astrocytes need to recharge. Only in sleep are the chemical reserves of astrocytes replenished.

People whose work requires strong mental focus need more sleep than those who do physical work.
That’s why getting enough sleep makes you smarter.

Firefox 14 intentionally breaks support for CSS transform skew()
http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/wuhgi/firefox_14_intentionally_breaks_support_for_css3/
CSS3 transform has had support for skew() for quite awhile, allowing us to do cool things like rotate and manipulate objects that would otherwise just be boxes.

skew() has been replaced with skewX() and skewY() due to some confusion over how skew() works. That's fine - CSS3 is still a work in progress. But Firefox intentionally yanking support for such a major feature, that large portions of the internet rely on, seems like a very shortsighted decision to me.

Interesting fact: css3generator.com is now broken on Firefox due to this.
