Idea: CI test matrix results viewer
Easily see failed tests correlated to CI job parameters.

Pain point:
To release your product or to merge a PR, you require run a battery of tests that exercise your products support matrix. In practice, this is done by running multiple Jenkins jobs with varying parameters. The problem occurs when tests fail. What operating system did they fail on? What browser version? What is the common thread? Answering this question is hard in products like Jenkins. Instead, you need a view of the failed tests that is associated to the test parameters.

Who is this for?
Products with a support matrix. Usually an enterprise product.

Int'l Business Travelers Pay an Average of $700 in Cell Roaming Charges PER TRIP
http://www.cio.com/article/175001/U.S._Businesses_Pay_as_Much_as_in_International_Cellular_Roaming_Fees_Per_Traveler_Per_Trip
A new study suggests that businesspeople who travel overseas rack up mobile phone roaming charges of almost $700 per trip. Yikes.
Ask HN: Upon what scale you should use Mesos?
Clustering is the preferred way to use Docker. Mesos, k8s and Docker Swarm are all built around this model. However, it seems that they make more sense for certain scale. For a small deployment (especially web/app hosting), the workload doesn't change often, also, different roles of containers may have different spec on the instance type, disk space, public/private subnet, etc, cluster+scheduling makes things more complicated for a deployment <50 instances.

Would like to hear more thoughts.
Kickstart Your Company’s Online Hub with TeamLab
http://web.appstorm.net/reviews/office/kickstart-your-companys-online-hub-with-teamlab/
When it comes to online solutions for the many problems and daunting tasks faced when running a business, a lot of app developers seem to be under the impression that your business can afford to invest hundreds in these apps. Unfortunately, for many small business starting out, the funds just aren’t there.

That’s where TeamLab comes in. It’s a promising (and completely free) change from the many apps available out there that charge extortionate amounts and only provide some basic functionality. Like what you hear? Read on to find out how to get started with the app and kickstart your business’ online portal.
Show HN: I'm building a stupid website called Would You Do It For A Dollar?
https://wouldyoudoitforadollar.com/
I have had this idea for a while, for months if not longer, but I never actually implemented it. I was always busy with some other stuff. It's called "Would you do it for a dollar?".

In simple terms: people can visit your profile and ask "would you ______ for a dollar?", like "chug a beer", "hit on someone", "french kiss person X"... Then you fulfill the request and earn $1. You need to reach the payout limit before being paid out. I was thinking about paying out in Amazon Gift Cards and via bank account using Stripe. A buyer still needs to purchase coins on-site which the seller can later convert to cash. It's all still work in progress

Seems very unusual and interesting, but I feel like it will be abused, especially by requesting dangerous things, so it needs to be moderated.

I started building some very simple MVP and registered a domain. If you want to subscribe it would be great https://wouldyoudoitforadollar.com/

Site is already semi-functional. You can register even via Twitter, FB, snap, Reddit, Google and Discord. I decided to kick it off and put myself out there, people can ask me if I would do something for a dollar, but I'll do it for free. If you want, try me out.
Is USANA a pyramid scheme?

Best Rendition of "Anarchy in the UK" Ever (skip to 16:40 on the video)

PostgreSQL Table Partitioning + Hibernate
http://www.technology-ebay.de/the-teams/mobile-de/blog/postgresql-table-partitioning-hibernate.html
If you want to partition a PostgreSQL database used by a web application based on Hibernate, you may get an exception when inserting a new row into a partitioned table. A typical solution would be to tell Hibernate not to do the result check after the insert operation. But it’s fairly common to introduce table partitioning in a late phase of the project, so you may already have a big project using Hibernate over the whole application. This can make it difficult to find all the places you need to fix. Read on to find out how to use PostgreSQL + Partitioning + Hibernate without touching the application based on Hibernate.

How to Shuffle NSMutableArray in XCode
http://www.planet1107.net/?p=73
Most of puzzle games use some kind of shuffle algorithm. For example, memory games would be really boring to play without tiles shuffle before you start playing game, if you solved it once you would remember position of most tiles. Same thing is with card games, before playing game you need to shuffle deck. Very often when programming such games you’ll store values in mutable array.

Mozilla compromised? (via email)
Dear addons.mozilla.org user,

The purpose of this email is to notify you about a possible disclosure
of your information which occurred on December 17th. On this date, we
were informed by a 3rd party who discovered a file with individual user
records on a public portion of one of our servers. We immediately took
the file off the server and investigated all downloads. We have
identified all the downloads and with the exception of the 3rd party,
who reported this issue, the file has been download by only Mozilla
staff. This file was placed on this server by mistake and was a partial
representation of the users database from addons.mozilla.org. The file
included email addresses, first and last names, and an md5 hash
representation of your password. The reason we are disclosing this event
is because we have removed your existing password from the addons site
and are asking you to reset it by going back to the addons site and
clicking forgot password. We are also asking you to change your password
on other sites in which you use the same password. Since we have
effectively erased your password, you don't need to do anything if you
do not want to use your account. It is disabled until you perform the
password recovery.

We have identified the process which allowed this file to be posted
publicly and have taken steps to prevent this in the future. We are also
evaluating other processes to ensure your information is safe and secure.

Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact the
infrastructure security team directly at infrasec@mozilla.com. If you
are having issues resetting your account, please contact
amo-admins@mozilla.org.

We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.
