Five most important year results of ReactOS development
ReactOS is an open source operating system designed to be compatible with Windows XP (and later) apps. It’s been in development for nearly two decades (it actually predates Windows 2000 and grew out of a project called FreeWin95) and it’s still very much a work in progress.

Just five most important changes in ReactOS project in 2014

1. The new ReactOS Explorer is much more compatible, stable, and comes with more features than the current (and now old) explorer. We expect it to be a big quality jump in terms of usability, and the rockstar feature of the upcoming 0.4 release. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vr_UXs83nQ0

2. ReactOS can now read files from NTFS volumes on a hard drive. Pierre Schweitzer of ReactOS shared, "ReactOS now supports reading files from NTFS volume. This was a long awaited feature people were asking for." A new ReactOS ISO re-spin is now available containing this support. http://reboot.pro/topic/20149-ntfs-now-supported-in-reactos-livecd/

3. ReactOS 0.3.17 was released with an early build of NTVDM, a tool that adds support for 16-bit Windows apps for folks that want to run legacy software. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xpqP5R-oZs

4 .Also huge bunch of font problems was fixed making possible to run without problems Gimp, Wireshark , Java, Winrar and IntelliJ IDEA. https://jira.reactos.org/browse/CORE-4657
https://jira.reactos.org/browse/CORE-8525

5. Ramdrive and PXE-network boot is now supported by ReactOS. Welcome ReactOS to the world of computers and netbooks without harddisk/cdrom

TWA Flight 800 investigators claim original conclusion about crash is wrong
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/06/18/twa-flight-800-investigators-break-silence-in-new-documentary-claim-original/
A group of whistleblowers, including a number of aviation experts, have come forward in a new documentary to claim that the official explanation for the crash of TWA Flight 800 was wrong and a gas tank explosion did not bring down the flight off the coast of Long Island 17 years ago.

This team of investigators who actually handled the wreckage and victims' bodies, prove that the officially proposed fuel-air explosion did not cause the crash, ...They also provide radar and forensic evidence proving that one or more ordinance explosions outside the aircraft caused the crash.

The whistleblower team, which includes investigators-at the time-from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), TWA, and the Airline Pilots Association, have since retired from their positions. They claim that at the time, they were placed under a gag order by the NTSB, which they charged falsified the official conclusion of the cause of the crash. They indicated they would elaborate more in a Wednesday media briefing.

Engagement, Facebook Comments, and News Media
http://emediawaves.com/blog/bringing-the-conversation-back/
Social media sites are not typical distribution channels for newspapers. They are Web sites that we do not own or control and that have changed (and will continue to change) their terms of service, restrictions, and features. Even if the sites are driving traffic to your Web site now, the traffic to a local media company’s Facebook page is usually being monetised only by Facebook. This needs to change.

Ask HN: How to find advisers
As a bootstrapped solopreneur with a full time job, I am increasingly aware of my limitations.
It's pretty hard juggling different tasks on a part-time basis. What I realize is that building a product that users like is hard when you don't have the domain knowledge. This is where having an adviser can help a great deal.

This brings me to my question, how do other hackers/solopreneurs find advisers that can help them grow? Networking events? Any success story with Linkedin?

Thanks in advance.

Ask HN: Tricks to integrate late coding session in current workflow?
Hi everyone,

We're under quite a lot of pressure lately to finish a project by the end of Feb. Probably like a lot of you guys, I'm at best when I'm "in the flow" which often leads me to code till 3
am - 4am.

The problem is that if in my early twenties I used to be able to recover over only a few hours sleep for the next day, it seems like it is impossible for me right now (early 30's).

1/ Do you have any tricks or tips to ease the recover and have a somehow normal day after a late coding session?

I know that this approach while somehow good for work purposes is disastrous for health on the long run so:

2/ What tricks/tips do you use during your working day to minimize interruptions (so you could go at least 1/2 way "in the flow") ?

Cheers!

Show HN: Graphsignal – Machine learning profiler for training and inference
https://graphsignal.com/
Hi HN, I'm the founder of Graphsignal (https://graphsignal.com). Graphsignal is a machine learning profiler. We've created it to make ML profiling simple and usable. It provides performance summaries, ML operation and kernel level statistics as well as detailed resource usage information necessary for making training and inference faster and more efficient.

Profilers help fix performance issues, improve user experience and reduce computation costs. Such improvements benefit machine learning profoundly; model training jobs that run for hours or days could be made much shorter and inference latency could be reduced resulting in significantly lower costs and improved user experience.

I realized the benefits in one of my previous projects, where the model would have to be trained regularly and be used for inference on huge amount of data. Having spent last decade developing profiling and monitoring tools, it seemed logical for me to use a profiler for the task. But since the training and inference were running remotely, I had a hard time using existing ML profilers.

TensorFlow and PyTorch provide built-in ML profilers, which utilize NVIDIA's profiling interface (CUPTI) under the hood for GPU profiling. One way to use those profilers is via locally installed TensorBoard or by logging the profiles.

In turn, Graphsignal Profiler (https://github.com/graphsignal/graphsignal) uses the built-in profilers as well as other tools to enable automatic profiling in any environment, including notebooks, training pipelines, periodic batch jobs, model serving and so on, without installing additional servers/software. It also allows teams to share and collaborate online. Basically, the profiles along with environment and usage information are be automatically recorded and sent to Graphsignal where they are available for analysis.

Trying it out is easy: 1) sign up for a free account; 2) add the profiler to your ML code and run it; 3) see and analyze the profiles at graphsignal.com. Everything is described in the Quick Start Guide https://graphsignal.com/docs/profiler/quick-start/.

I'm very excited to show it to you here and will appreciate any thoughts, comments and feedback!

Palo Alto Hacker House - Now Seeking Replacements

Why does Adobe Acrobat take 15 minutes to open a PDF?
I do a lot of graphic design work. I have over 2,000 fonts. (Yes, I do use them.) Adobe Acrobat routinely takes 10 to 15 minutes (I'm not exaggerating) to open up a PDF file, whether it uses 1, 2, 10, 100 or no fonts at all. According to FileMon from Microsoft, it's because Acrobat loads every single font on my system before rendering the file. This makes no sense--especially because if I were to actually try to use one of those fonts not already embedded in the document by editing the file, it would re-load them all over again.

Some time is also spent reading and updating a local MySQL database called the "organizer." I've never used the Acrobat organizer. Not once. I suspect 99.999% of Acrobat users don't even know it's there, yet every time I open a PDF, I wait for it. There's no way to clear it except by manually locating the files it uses on your filesystem and deleting them.

Unrelated but equally infuriating: Acrobat insists on printing 100% black rectangles (meaning 0% C, 0% M, 0% Y, 100% K) as a mixture of C M and Y ink on my Xerox Phaser 6180MFP/N color laser printer. Illustrator prints the same exact PDF file properly using only black ink on the same printer.

Can someone from Adobe explain to me why this is reasonable? I've paid Adobe thousands of dollars over the year for its products. When can I expect to open a PDF in 2 seconds or less like I could with Acrobat 3.0 on my 100MHz Pentium ten years ago? When will Acrobat actually work?

(Before you say, "Use Preview!" know that I've already tried. It doesn't render my PDFs properly. It rasterizes things that shouldn't be rasterized and it draws lines that aren't there. Adobe made the PDF spec, I like PDFs, and I want to use Adobe's software.)

Show HN: Hacker News clone using Remix and React
https://github.com/clintonwoo/hackernews-remix-react
Hi all, author here.

This project was a pleasure to do, Remix has very good developer experience. But further than that it's actually a really good way to develop applications, it's a mix of old meets new where the paradigm encourages you to take advantage of web standards for data fetching (forms, links, a tags).

And it turns out that it's actually an optimal way to develop simple or even complex web applications which can deploy in a number of runtime environments (including edge workers). So you can get an insanely fast website for users. Note that this project is not necessarily an optimal website implementation (since it copies Hacker News) but rather it's intended to be useful as a starting point or reference for your own projects!

You can read about some of the benefits of it on the project page linked.

By the way I'm currently available to work (if you email me at clinton.dannolfo @gmail!)
