How to start a Y Combinator?
Subtitled: How to surround yourself with smart people outside of academia?

To me, the greatest advantage of being a CS professor, is being surrounded by lots of smart, motivated colleagues & students. The greatest disadvantage -- is that much of research appears to be about doing "new" rather than "useful" things, and funding is governed by NSF/DARPA rather than market demands.

YCombinator seems to have this figured out -- put yourself in a position where students who want to launch startups come to you. So, question is: how do you start something like this?

2 Awesome Tips for Reducing Memory Usage in JMeter
http://blazemeter.com/blog/how-reduce-memory-usage-jmeter

The JMeter is OutOfMemory error, which occurs during report generation is one the most common problem during performance testing (with JMeter).

The misnomer here is that while folks complain that it's JMeter consuming loads of memory like a teenage boy consumes food, and it's simply not the whole story.

Ask HN: April 21 Google Mobile Update?
How many of you are modifying your websites so that they pass Google's mobile friendly test? Yes, I know that ideally all websites should be responsive prior to this, but I also know there are many apps / websites that are not and have inner pages that are not responsive.

I also noticed that HN fails this test and has a poor mobile experience in general. Are there any plans to modify the CSS so that it has a better experience on smaller devices?

Ask HN: Is there an email service specifically for your customers subscriptions?
So, you're a freelance (or not) developer or whatever and you've decided with your client for a domain + website + email + monitoring + CI + HitGub blablabla So it's time to choose a registrar and an host and deploy yay!
Stop right there.

Uhm... you need an account on registeryourstupiddomain.com to get started. Right, I'll use mine cause I'll handle everything.
Wait damnit what if I will no longer be employed for this client in 5 years and they'll gonna move everything? Damn, I'll use his.

Oh right, I need an account also on digitalpond.org to create the vps. I can't use his address, he'll get flooded with status email about fundamental nonsense things he won't understand and he will trash.

Damn, I'll use mine here. Wait, what if they need to move the droplet then?

God! Fine, I'll make a new gmail account.

client@gmail.com -- taken

client-date@gmail.com -- taken

client-admin@gmail.com -- taken DAMNIT!

client-stupidduckinadigitalpond@gmail.com -- taken (wait, what?)

Is it possible no one has ever thought about an email service for you to create and then to use for other people?! Specifically thought for this end, for you to use to subscribe your clients to these kind of service and only these so you don't have to wrestle with gmail accounts and you can pass to the next developer or sysadmin or whatever.

And that maybe can track what services you subscribed to, so when you login after 4 years with that address you can go:
'oh right, the vps are on AWS, not on digitalpond right right...'

Jesus! Go make a startup and send me an invite, I NEED THIS.

Online Games and Tourism: Cold-arm confrontation simulation related to the actual terrain
Email: ourunix@gmail.com<p>To minimize the players’ time invested in games and maximize the players’ “array of troops for battle” in the tactical and strategic confrontation.<p>Based on the actual terrain, it clearly shows the roles of terrain, mountain passes and rivers in the cold-weapon era, supplemented by the introduction of historical knowledge, an increase in fun and<p>This project is multi-language. Currently there are Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English and German versions.<p>At present, it has been released in Southwest China and Europe (the historical knowledge related to the regions is to be improved upon).<p>Current online games require players to invest too much time and their levels are basically proportional to their time input.<p>Due to the lack of intellectual confrontation, it is difficult for players to get know the tactical strategy of the “array of troops for battle”.<p>Based on this knowledge, it is necessary to achieve a tactical and strategic game while lowering the time investment as much as possible. This game is based on actual terrain and will maximize the realization of an array of troops in ancient battles.<p>On the above basis, the game combines historical knowledge, the actual status of the terrain and tourism resources.<p>Thus, it integrates a knowledgeable, intellectual and entertaining interactive community.<p>In summary, the project is briefly outlined below:<p>1. High-definition screen;
2. True terrain;
3. Multiple types of interactions;
4. Reducing time investment in the game;
5. Puzzle game;
6. Strengthening cultural identity;
7. Learning historical knowledge;
8. Related tourism knowledge;
9. Enhancing social responsibility;
10. Improving team spirit.

U.S. could use cyberattack on Syrian air defenses
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2013/05/16/syria-attack-pentagon-air-force-military/2166439/
U.S. abilities to defeat Syria's air defenses are central to a debate over whether to intervene in the 2-year-old civil war. Electronic methods to disable enemy air defense systems include the injection of malware, a form of computer software, into the air defense network through a computer attack or by traditional electronic warfare aircraft capable of jamming radar.

The radars act like wireless transmitters and jammers can send false or destructive information into the radar, which then gets into the network, said Shlomo Narkolayev, an analyst who previously worked on cyber issues for the Israeli military's Unit 8200, which handles cyberwarfare.

"It's not hard to do this," Narkolayev said.

Congress Approves "National Postdoc Awareness Week"
http://www.nature.com/naturejobs/2010/101007/full/nj7316-741a.html
Here's the story, for those of you who don't have access:

National Postdoc Appreciation Week was officially recognized by the US Congress on 23 September. The move confers no funding and creates no laws. But it is vital for building awareness of postdocs' research contributions as well as of their compensation issues and other woes, says Cathee Johnson Phillips, executive director of the National Postdoc Association (NPA) in Washington DC. The NPA, along with institutions nationwide, began the week in 2009. This year, it was 20–24 September and more than 70 institutions took part. In the past, most legislators knew little about postdocs, says Phillips. “Now, when our members talk to them about compensation and benefits, they'll say, 'Let's talk,' not 'What's a postdoc?'” she says.

Show HN: Mariabak – a front end CLI for mysqldump with quality of life features
https://github.com/llagerlof/mariabak
(mysqldump is the default backup tool of MariaDB and MySQL)

I created this script because I often need to make backups of different databases, for various reasons and under different conditions. Manually assembling the mysqldump commands was a bit tedious. mysqldump does its job perfectly, but only the basics, by design. Many things I had to do executing more than one mysqldump command. Now I just need to run mariabak once.

Cool mariabak features:

- With just one command you can backup several databases in different files (mysqldump only dump the backup data, doesn't create files, this is the user's job).

- User can choose tables that he does NOT want to backup (e.g: logs, cache), but preserving the tables' structure (mysqldump has the option of not backup one or more tables, but it does not preserve its structure).

- For each backup a directory with the date and time is created. The directory name format can be configured.

- It backups all the user grants, system variables, system databases and events to separate files (Because it backups the system databases too, the user should be the 'root' or any user with the following permissions on database server: select, show view, lock tables, process, reload, replication client on .).

- For quick query, you have an option for just list the databases.

- Tailored to Linux and Windows.

FAQ:

- "Why the project is just one file?"

I want to make it very portable. The chosen language is interpreted.

- "Why the project is procedural? Why not OOP?"

I want to avoid to have classes in just one file because this would be a mess. I just keep all functions and code well commented.

- "Docker?"

Not yet, but soon.
