A {new, refactoring of a current} media project, looking for suggestions 
I have been following this site for quite awhile and thoroughly enjoy the open discussions that take place. It seems as if the community has great insight and experience to share with each other. For this reason I have decided to sign up and post my first question regarding a situation I am currently in and looking for suggestions on.

My friend and I are graduating in a week with our BS in CSE and we have big hopes for our future. He currently has a home theater setup which contains a centralized server running a web interface for easy access remotely and also allowing for his friends to access his content. Additionally, he uses Acer Revos as thin clients running XBMC to access the house throughout his LAN. After seeing his setup I was sold and wanted to do something similar, yet BETTER!

He and I decided that after commencement next week, we are going to start from the ground up and do the project right. Currently his implementation and XBMC configuratino is just months, years of trial error and building based on what he needed. Therefore the code base is poor, and overall there are a lot of things he has said if I had the chance I would do them right.

Him and I have decided that we are going to start with formal requirements, documentation and design and then start coding. The hope is that this project will be open source, iterative and agile in development cycles such that we can continually produce working features to incorporate with our existing production system.

I am looking for thoughts, suggestions, comments on how a two man team can make a project great? This can be relevant to a media server based project or just any general start-up project for that matter.
Ask HN: Startup FAQ wiki?
When one wants to build a new website totally from sratch what should he/she already know? If you have an Idea but just have just started to dabble in web programming. Eg. which are the preferred servers for hosting?, which programming language to use? any legal stuff one should know about (apart from the obvious stuff), etc. Is there any online resource for getting such information?
Show HN: I made a minimalist time blocking app
https://timeist.corneliusventi.dev
I made a time blocking app with a minimalist look & feel, only time blocking one day at a time, customisable intervals and easy to organize without overlapping.

Current features:
- choose an interval of the block to 1 hour, 30 minutes and 15 minutes.
- easy to add a break time block with a single click.
- easy to organise the block with drag and drop to the desired slot.
- clear the day and start new for the next day

LinuxExplorer
https://github.com/hollingsworthd/LinuxExplorer
This script will help you explore files on linux.

Just type the command and then any regex you'd like to search. By default it searches filenames and excludes class and other data files. It looks recursively down from your current directory. Then it presents a list of results and lets you type a number to select one for opening in vim.

After quitting vim you come back to your results and can continue opening files or execute a new search. To exit type 'x' or ctrl-c.

If you'd like to search through file contents, use the '-c' flag.

Enjoy

How to work with Creative Professionals
http://pastebin.com/25B5HsgW
My job is in jeopardy for presenting this document in a code review. Most of the communication at my workplace is through teleconferencing, even when people are in the same room. I wrote this in response to the lack of specifications or outcomes for projects which has lowered morale. I'd talk to the CEO or CIO about it, but after working here for over 4 months they have never come in yet, even though they live relatively close.

Feedback: 5 thing you should know about Growth Hackers
http://jojogiuffra.com/thing-to-know-about-growth-hacker/
Hey guys!

What do you think about my new post?
1min Climate Actions
Climate change is a big, hairy problem. Mostly because it is about global collaboration. I started reading on what I can do and there is a ton of advice out there. However, little of the advice can be turned into an action within 1min. Following the Fogg Behavior model, I was wondering:

What would happen if there would be a list of action items that any person can complete within 1min. And if they would complete 1 item per day.

What do you think about this? Do you have ideas for 1min climate actions?

- e.g. how to help turn a carbon tax into a reality?
- e.g. how to help that more people watch movies like Interstellar or others? After all, not all tasks have to be dry and those movies definitely alter your mind

Some ideas from my side (that I already did or will do in the next 7 days):

1min actions:

- enter a reminder in your calendar to do a 1min action every day (raises your involvement in the future)
- ask a friend/coworker: "what actions did you take in the past against climate change?" (raises awareness and might give you ideas)
- get Bill Gates' new book on Climate Change e.g. via Amazon or the provider of your choice https://www.amazon.com/How-Avoid-Climate-Disaster-Breakthroughs/dp/0385546130 (raises your involvement)
- comment on this post with your first reaction (raises your involvement and provides valuable input via your perspective)
- share this post e.g. via direct message or social media (raises awareness and motivates others)

1min+ actions: (for people who have more time or ambitions)

- write forum posts similar to this one in your favorite online community - feel free to copy verbatim if it makes it easier to you
- change the plan with your energy provider to eco+ if you can afford it
- create a website or notion document or google spreadsheet that lists possible actions - bonus points if people can vote on the easiest/most effective solutions or even track what they already did in the past

Database Indexing Techniques
http://blog.teamgrowth.net/index.php/database/database-indexing-techniques
Indexes are database objects associated with database tables and created to speed up access to data within the tables. Indexes are part of constraint mechanism. When we insert data in table and if a column has primary key constraint, then database checks if row with the same primary key value exists. If it doesn’t then the full table is scanned, An index gives immediate access to key values , so that check for existence can be made virtually instantaneously.

A unique constraint also requires an index. Column of the unique constraint can be left Null unlike primary key constraint. In database schema tables have parent child relationship, with primary key on parent table and foreign key on child table. If indexes are applied on foreign key then retrieval of data becomes faster, deletion of data also speeds up.

Depend on abstractions only
http://blog.agirei.com/2013/01/depend-on-abstractions-only/
Inversion of control could be understood as synonymous to hexagonal architecture or ports and adapters. At least that's what in my, not so humble opinion, it boils down to. It helps to make your application better understandable and open for changes in the future.

The fundamental idea in a hexagonal architecture is to use inversion of control or in other words to depend upon abstractions only when it comes to external components. As an aside, dependency injection, is just one technique to achieve this, another might be a service locator pattern.

Feeble's Fable crowdfunding campaign
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/atomicchimp/feebles-fable
"Atomic Chimp Games" wants to create a cool game called "Feeble's Fable" The Legend of Runes.
"Feeble's Fable™ The Legend of Runes is a whimsical 3D fantasy adventure game filled with intriguing puzzles which are integrated into its storyline, for a totally immersive playing experience.

This mystical land is filled with imaginatively created beasts, shamans and a small unsuspecting hero, named Feeble, who is chosen by the elders to embark upon a quest to save his people from extinction. Feeble's Fable™- The Legend of Runes is the first in our planned trilogy of this adventure series, introducing the immersive backstory, characters, and setting the scene for the future sequels."

The art is amazing, the world is vast and I feel like these kinds of games are the way of the future. The games funded for the people, by the people.

They need some money (38500$) to finish the game so they have organized a kickstarter crowdfunding campaign (with 12$ you will have access to the finished game).
If you can't pledge anything yourself, please, spread the word on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, YouTube and wherever else you can.

If you are interested, here are the links:
