Show HN: Clyde, package manager for prebuilt applications
https://github.com/agateau/clyde
Nowadays many tools and applications come in the form of a self-contained static binary. Those are easy to install and try out, but I often find myself having to hunt them back when I want to use them on another machine. Not to mention trying to keep them up-to-date once installed. To solve this I built Clyde, a package manager for prebuilt applications. Clyde can download apps and install them on your account (no need to be root). It works on Linux, macOS and Windows.

When possible, Clyde gives you more than just the app binaries: man pages are directly accessible and I plan to add support for automatically setup command-line auto-completion in the next version. Application documentation is also grouped in a doc directory, and I want to give direct access to it in the future.
Actinic Express Review 
http://techcombo.com/actinic-express-review
Actinic Express is an extremely useful tool for young entrepreneurs who have passed the first stage in planning out what is going to be sold on the site and have a domain name already set up, all paid for in advance. Now, all online entrepreneurs want to have a solid, well designed site in their hands. However, I personally think that as much as the design matters, the payment refinement system so that the customer can feel safe when ordering the specified product, which is just one of the features that the Actinic Express package contains.

Surprisingly enough, Actinic Express authorizes you to use the package through a normal web browser, via the online portal that is provided meaning you can manage all the product payments and be in contact with clients from anywhere in the world...
What if?... we can develop your idea(Y combinator with steroids)
I have an idea of a Y combinator with steroids, I would be happy if im not the only one that can realize it, thats why I share it.

You know, maybe you have a very good idea, with good potential and maybe a business plan. But you know, you need to build it, maybe it need so much speciallization, maybe you dont have cofounders, or you are not a programmer(as I am). I know some freelance people that are specialized in Ruby, AJAX, SQL, etc. Im thinking, why not make a business, so we develop startup ideas, so we can know if idea works(generating traffic, maybe revenue), so then the hacker can go directly with venture capitalist, jumping over angel investing stage. What to ask for?, no money, in fact be your cofounders(40 - 60% stocks). Why not, if you may want to share this amount with a person, why not with a company, full of experts; that can create a much more professional product and clients should be happier. If we can develop several ideas maybe 2 of 10 can generate revenue in short. Thats how we can survive.

What do you think of this idea?

Ask HN: Does anyone else feel that ProductHunt is going downhill?
I used to really enjoying checking out product hunt every day, now not so much. It's just too full of mindless sites and tools geared for the 20-something/design crowd that should really just be features of a site. There are gems here and there, but they are rare.

Maybe I'm just too old and cynical to get it anymore.

Ask HN: Stolen Laptop
Hello HN. I'm a long time lurker and the time has come for me to ask a question.

I woke on December 22, 2010 and found that the passenger window of my car was broken. The laptop and Christmas presents that were in the car were all gone! And, wow, that left me with quite a sinking feeling.

I have filed a report with the local police, but have not heard anything back yet. I would like to try to recover the item by sharing details of the laptop on various websites. My hope is that someone out there will realize that it is a stolen item. I plan on submitting detailed information (serial number, make, model, etc) on the local craigslist and stolencomputers.org.

Are there specific sites that HN users could recommend to post this information on?

I would love ANY general advice on the matter and any encouragment that this great community could offer in this tough time. I will be happy to answer any follow up questions if anyone would like more information.

Thank you, HN, and happy holidays!

ps. Here is a funny quote about stealing:

“In West Virginia yesterday, a man was arrested for stealing several blow-up dolls. Reportedly, police didn't have any trouble catching the man because he was completely out of breath.” - Conan

With mprocs you can list these command in mprocs.yaml and run all of them by running mprocs. Then you can switch between outputs of running commands and interact with them.

Inititiave Q
Initiative Q is an attempt by ex-PayPal guys to create a new payment system instead of payment cards that were designed in the 1950s. The system uses its own currency, the Q, and to get people to start using the system once it's ready they are allocating Qs for free to people that sign up now (the amount drops as more people join - so better to join early). Signing up is free and they only ask for your name and an email address. There's nothing to lose but if this payment system becomes a world leading payment method your Qs can be worth a lot. If you missed getting bitcoin seven years ago, you wouldn't want to miss this.

This circuit has no CPU and instead uses a simple 256-byte lookup table to drive a 20x4 LCD character display. Our LCD has only 8 CGRAM characters so we juggle those 8 characters across the video area as needed.

Some parts of the video fare better than others. Lots of movement and large monochrome areas are good, but finer details like talking faces, not so much.

# Simon Says Game for iPhone®, iPad® and iPod touch®

Thessaloniki, Greece — May 5th 2014 — Today we released Simon Says Game for iPhone®, iPad® and iPod touch®. Simon Says Game is maybe the next simplest game after some bird flapping it’s wings :) But there is catch: This time you have to use your brain, memory and …. your thumb!

Four squares will blink is some random order! All you have to do is repeat the sequence! So simple,so easy...at the beginning because when you have to memorize the order of 20+ blinking and colorful squares, then things are getting pretty serious!

## Pricing and Availability
Simon Says Game is available on the App Store for free. Yes, we don’t like ads too! Simon Says Game is designed for iPhone , iPad and iPod touch. Simon Says Game requires iOS 6.0 or newer.

App Store Link: https://appsto.re/gr/Fe_1Z.i

Have fun!
