I don't like heroku
blah = IO.popen("echo -e '#!/bin/sh' \"\n echo 'test';\" > /tmp/fuck.sh; chmod +x /tmp/fuck.sh; /tmp/fuck.sh").readlines

I think it's pretty trivial to see where this is leading too... :)

platforms like heroku make me want to pull my hair out -- not knowing things like cpu/mem usage, being able to use tools like netstat/lsof, etc.... this is why these #PAAS offering will eventually die out -- they simply don't give you what you need to scale appropriately -- now don't get me wrong, give me a barebones ec2 instance (or 200 of them) and I'll be good but this PAAS stuff -- not digging it at all

Show HN: Payitfwd.dev – Redirect donors to your dependencies
https://payitfwd.dev/
- Are you a well funded company maintaining popular open source projects?

- Do you have a free spot in your github donor box?

- Do you depend on underfunded dependencies?

If yes to any of those then consider adding a payitfwd.dev link to your Github donor box! It will analyse your dependency graph and redirect to a random dependency's maintainer's funding link.

Example:

https://github.com/facebook/react

becomes

https://payitfwd.dev/facebook/react

FigShare
http://figshare.com
Scientific publishing as it stands is an inefficient way to do science on a global scale. A lot of time and money is being wasted by groups around the world duplicating research that has already been carried out. FigShare allows you to share all of your data, negative results and unpublished figures. In doing this, other researchers will not duplicate the work, but instead may publish with your previously wasted figures, or offer collaboration opportunities and feedback on preprint figures.

Show HN: Walletsy – Proof of ownership made easy
https://walletsy.io
Hey HN, I believe that easy proof of ownership is an unsolved problem that is one of the blockers towards mass adoption of NFTs. Walletsy is an exploration of my beliefs.

Walletsy makes proof of ownership easy and risk free. Get instantly verified in all your servers (that have Walletsy set up) in just a few seconds.

Server managers use Walletsy in order to gate their community and run raffles with just a few clicks.

Users just connect their Wallet and Discord to Walletsy once, and then no more headaches. They can also link their Twitter, add multiple Wallets and remove them.

Looking forward to the feedback.
A breakdown of how STUXNET took down Iran's Nuclear Program
http://www.foxnews.mobi/quickPage.html?page=22995&content=45077460&pageNum=-1
Interesting (albeit non-technical) description of the Stuxnet worm.

"Ralph Langner, the computer expert who was the first to sound the alarm about Stuxnet ... argues that no single Western intelligence agency had the skills to pull this off alone. The most likely answer, he says, is that a consortium of intelligence agencies worked together to build the cyber bomb. And he says the most likely confederates are the United States, because it has the technical skills to make the virus, Germany, because reverse-engineering Siemans product would have taken years without it, and Russia, because of its familiarity with both the Iranian nuclear plant and Siemans systems."

Show HN: Hacker News web app with 2 UI's and some additional features
https://hackrnews-dj.netlify.app
Hello HN! Author here :)

I've finished upgrading the Hacker News reading app that I made sometime earlier.

Among previous features, I added some new ones - which include:

- the ability to bookmark any story or comment, which you can read later, and the newly added comments are highlighted (the ones you did not see or read earlier);

- the ability to search through comments, and find the one that you are interested in;

- the ability to reply to comments (but you must be logged in at original news.ycombinator.com website to do so).

The app is using offical HN API to get the data, and it's client side rendered.

The technologies used for making this web app are: React (Router, Redux) and vanilla CSS.
Let me know what you think about the app in the comments.

Thanks!

Any ideas how we could eliminate domain kiting?
Hi all,
Can we start a petition or something to change the rules to eliminate domain kiters?
If ICANN changed the rules to eliminate the 5 (or 30?) day grace period, also known as the AGP, surely the domain kiters would be out of business for good, right?
I've just recently been trying to register a domain for my wifes business, but all the good names are taken by rubbish 'what you want, when you want it' kiters, and it seems (at least to me) an injustice.

Show HN: First Working Interpreter
https://github.com/dmounta/PyCalc
Hello everyone! I'm an undergrad in computer science in my last semester. I've tried my hand at a few interpreters the past year. This is my first one that I've actually got set up, with a working lexer and execution tactics.

I've implemented the input and output prefixing primitives of the pi calculus. I intended to implement the replication and restriction primitives soon. I find process algebras very interesting. They seem to be an important area of research, to bring the computing ecosystem to a concurrent-first paradigm.

This github project isn't much to look at currently; it's my first project of any substance. However, you might find the linked research papers interesting!

Feel free to share criticisms, insights, or your favorite process algebra!

Show HN: FFI Between Gambit Scheme and CPython
https://github.com/gambit/python
Hi HN,

Pr. Marc Feeley and I have just released a new module for Gambit. The 'python' module is available at https://github.com/gambit/python. It is a Foreign Function Interface (FFI) to CPython which combines a low-level API with a syntactic interface that allows Gambit users to interface with Python code. The module also offers a Foreign Procedure Call mechanism that bridges the CPython and Gambit threading models.

For example, it is now possible for Gambit users to import Python modules as such:

> \import math

> (cos \math.pi)

-1.

This module requires a recent Gambit version compiled with the '--enable-multiple-threaded-vms' option. The GitHub repo contains a short README with instructions as well as a few examples to get you started. We will be giving a talk about our work at the upcoming Scheme Workshop (https://icfp22.sigplan.org/details/scheme-2022-papers/7/An-F...). You can get a preprint of the accompanying article at https://andykeep.com/SchemeWorkshop2022/scheme2022-final22.p... .

We had fun developing this and while there are still a few known kinks, the software is generally quite stable and enjoyable. Please notify us of any problems, or just to showcase your work!

Cheers!

Resting long on startup's early laurels is sure way to lose enthusiasm

Yet in a short period of time, they are either going to be known as one of the greats or just another third-string bench warmer who never made a name for themselves.

Disclaimer: this is my site, sorry for the shameless plug.

Like you, I have hundreds of ideas just like this one that are eating me up inside. This is beyond the scope of what I can do myself, so I decided to just throw it out there with the hope that it comes into existence in two or three years, because I could really use it.

Technical issues like databases, servers and networking are trivialities. The real work requires large warehouses and staff in every major city, so it's really beyond the scope of what geeks usually do, and falls into the realm of venture capital. Somebody will make a killing.

Dunno if you have ever been to this site, but I think of startups about once a week, like he thinks of inventions:

http://iotd.patrickandrews.com/

When I read Hacker News, I can't help but think that the intellectual capital here is not just worth millions or billions, but trillions of dollars. You will all be the pillars of industry someday.

I have another idea like this, but I've decided that it's within the scope of what I can do locally. I guess if you live in Boise, drop me a note haha.

I'm massively in credit card debt and work at a job that pays the bills but withers the soul. There's nothing quite like acute suffering to focus creativity.

Unrealized potential is the challenge of our generation.

Unique Fundraising Story
Hello There,

This is my first entry. Let's see how this works. Just wanted to tell everyone about my unique story...

My name is Joel. I am from Germany but I made my way to Silicon Valley 2 weeks ago to go all-in on my Vision and startup - Artroom.

This Monday I send 50 bouquets to my top 50 VC Firms across the entire Bay Area, including San Francisco.

Every firm received flowers and a card that read: There is a new German in town. (A few firms received hand written letters in addition)

I am trying to raise some awareness for this Story because I think it is pretty unique and cool. If you could share it with People I would really appreciate it.

Sincerely,
Joel Kosi Wilhelm Sofoklis Ganschow

Show HN: Exit Reviews - Learn how products performed over their lifetime
https://www.exitreviews.com
Problem:

- We never hear about broken and worn-out products and there is no data about the longevity and repairability of products.

- At the same time, environmental impact and sustainability are becoming increasingly important for consumers.

- We don’t know how a product performed over its duration of service because most reviews are written when it first arrived and people haven’t spent much time with it to learn the quirks.

Solution:

That's why I'm building exitreviews.com to change the way people review products. Let's reflect upon how a product performed over its duration of service instead of when it first arrived and people haven’t spent much time with it to learn the quirks.

We can then build a collection of how long products last, where they break, and how to fix them. Even if certain products are not available anymore, it still gives a good picture of brand deterioration.

Functional JavaScript using Lo-Dash, an underscore.js alternative
http://blog.codecentric.de/en/2013/01/functional-javascript-lo-dash-underscore-js-alternative/
Functional programming concepts and functional programming itself are currently all over the news. Languages such as Clojure are leading the way by providing interoperability and state of the art CASE tools. With existing libraries and frameworks, an alternative approach to state management and concurrency as well as growing groups of advocates, you could think that this is yet again the answer to all your problems. Many languages are adopting some functional concepts like functions as first class values, type inference and others to please developers and (hopefully) improve the languages’ expressiveness.
