Wikileaks defectors about to launch OpenLeaks
http://techcrunch.com/2010/12/10/wikileaks-defectors-openleaks/
"OpenLeaks will be structured a bit differently than WikiLeaks. It will be designed to accept leaks in a secure and anonymous manner, but won’t publish them itself. Instead, OpenLeaks will work with other publishers, including newspapers and websites around the world, which will asses the newsworthiness of any leaked documents, and edit and redact them as appropriate before releasing them."

I can't be the only one who feels it strange to swap the initial censorship by organizations and government for the arbitrary editing and 'redaction' performed by the press, as if they exist in some isolated bubble and are not subject to pressure or bias.

I may not trust the government to tell the truth, but I trust them far more than Fox News.

Show HN: Stablediffusiond
https://github.com/w4ffl35/stablediffusiond
I created a basic Stable Diffusion runner / queue system.

It uses RabbitMQ to queue up JSON requests and then fires those off to Stable Diffusion which stays loaded during the lifetime of the listener. This speeds up requests to Stable Diffusion, and allows you to run it all locally without relying on the more bloated projects that currently exist.

Its final form is intended to be a daemon process, but I just wrote this, so we're not there yet.

In order to make this happen, I also wrote three classes for Stable Diffusion which wrap some of the code found in the main stable diffusion branch called txt2img.py and img2img.py.

I have a PR open with CompVis but it remains to be seen if they will accept the request.

Tolkien as Translator
*) The Lord of the Rings and Linguistic Anthropology
I created a remote team-focused job board. How do I get companies to list?
I created https://goodremotejobs.com. I spent significant time creating a self-onboarding flow for companies to onboard themselves.

I've emailed and Twitter DMed about 30 companies (that are a good match for the site). So far, I haven't received even one reply (much less a signup).

I've made listing 100% free while we're in the onboarding phase.

Other than continuing to reach out to companies (and following up with those I've already reached out to, though in a manner that's careful to not be annoying), I'm out of ideas.

What am I doing wrong? What else should I try?

Ask HN: Event-Driven Programming vs. Object-Oriented Programming
I am a javascript developer. I am new to Event-Driven development "paradigm", and I have some questions about.

I think that EDP and OOP are not at the same level, so I use Object Oriented paradigm behind Event-Driven. But I am not clear what EDP gives to a OOP project: Order? maintenance? scalability? easier to test? Or is EDP just a good architecture solution for those languages that are not OOP natively?

I've read that can help with dependency injection too. But this can be sorted out using libraries such as RequireJS, can't be?

Show HN: Executing Python from Tweets
https://guicommits.com/pyrun-run-python-from-tweets/
Hello HN!

Pyrun is a Chrome Extension that brings a Python IDE into your Twitter for those who consume and create Python content.

*The Status Quo (This is quite a limited experience!)*

- Content creators share Python snippets as images;
- The audience zooms into the image to see what’s in there;

* The Pyrun extension creates a whole new learning experience:*

▶ Hit one button to execute the Python snippet
See Python's output inside Twitter
Edit the code and rerun

Content creators only have to share the code inside the image’s ALT, add “#pyrun” in their Tweet and that’s it!

This extension will enhance the learning experience and improve engagement without disrupting the Twitter experience!
Show HN: Finally understand the AngularJS docs
https://www.angularcourse.com/docs
The big goal here is to create AngularJS docs that are really easy to use and understand.

I decided to start this project after a bunch of conversations with my students from www.angularcourse.com. Many of them are putting a lot of effort into reading the docs, but are finding it extremely difficult to understand what's going on.

The big problem is that the docs assume a lot of pre-existing knowledge. If you know your way around, the docs are reasonable (still not easy), but if you're still new, it's a huge struggle.

Would love to get feedback from you all on if this is a problem that you're facing too.

Ask HN: How much profits do you reinvest in your own startup?
I am a solo founder of a bootstrapped startup, and currently I cash out 5x my average market salary every month.
I know the market is big, so there is a lot of potential to grow (at least 5-10x current revenue), but this would require to hire more people and reduce my profits to 0. Like many other bootstrapped startups I have spent a lot of time with little or no income and I don't come from a rich family, so now I'm enjoying this moment with money and saving a lot.

I wonder when to stop focusing on growing my own net worth and investing in the growth of the startup. Do you recommend to first focus to accumulate a net worth as X times the annual cost of living? And what % of net profits do you suggest to re-invest on growth?

The A-Z of Programming Languages: YACC
http://www.techworld.com.au/article/252319/-z_programming_languages_yacc
This interview is dedicated to the investigation of YACC, and to chatting with AT&T alumni Stephen C. Johnson.
"When YACC first ran, it was very slow - it implemented Knuth's ideas very literally. A grammar with 50 rules took about 20 minutes to run, which made me very unpopular with my co-workers ('Damn, Johnson's running YACC again!'). I set out to improve the size and space characteristics. Over the next several years, I rewrote the program over a dozen times, speeding it up by a factor of 10,000 or so. Many of my speedups involved proving theorems that we could cut this or that corner and still have a valid parser. The introduction of precedence was one example of this."

JRebel vs OSGi: Use the right tool for the right job
http://zeroturnaround.com/blog/jrebel-vs-osgi-use-the-right-tool-for-the-right-job/
Often when discussing OSGi at events, conferences or forums, we hear things like, “Yeah, I like JRebel but now we are using OSGi”, or “Does JRebel support OSGi”, or “Isn’t OSGi the same as JRebel?”. Sometimes it happens that people start comparing OSGi to JRebel, which is kind of like comparing a Ferrari to a Skyscaper; thus, this article is designed to a) explain the differences on a technical level what JRebel and OSGi do, b) outline some ideal use cases for OSGi and JRebel c) clear up any grey areas or misconceptions between the two technologies.

Show HN: I built a tool to aggregate your investments and follow other investors
https://www.wealthly.com:443/
Hi HN!

Over the past year, we’ve been building Wealthly (https://wealthly.com), a tool to help you aggregate all your investments, and a community of investors who are sharing their portfolios and knowledge.

I started working on this idea because I had two personal frustrations:

1. I had a few different brokerage accounts, some retirement accounts, and a little crypto all in different places. It was hard to get a glance of everything I had. I tried all the products in the market, and they all had various issues (poor data quality, constant disconnect, didn’t support options, etc)
2. I learned a great deal about investing from other people online, but I always wanted to see where people actually put their money. I needed the transparency because it gave me a sense of comfort and trust

We’ve slowly built up a small group of users who have connected close to $18M of live assets. We’re hoping that the HN community will find a tool and a community like this useful!

I think whenever a product like this shows up, the number one thing people get most concerned with is always security and are you scraping brokerages for data. Unfortunately we don’t have a magic bullet around this issue in the US. We use the brokerages’ official OAuth APIs whenever we can, and resort to scraping when we’re forced to with no other solutions.

To address the security and privacy concerns people have, we are also thinking about open sourcing our connectors, and creating a desktop app where all your data is stored locally instead of in the cloud.

We haven’t opened up sign ups yet, but you can join with this invite link: https://join.wealth.ly/4WFYJ3.

Would love to hear any feedback!

Co-founder here - the last 5 months we've been building Dreamsands in the midst of a creative revolution - the art world has screamed, the people have cheered - who knows where we will end up?

What we do know however is that AI art is incredibly captivating, strangely familiar and a ton of fun!

As avid art lovers we found it increasingly hard to keep track of all the new imaging tools, forums and subreddits where people were posting amazing work done with AI, and thus the idea for Dreamsands was born - Dreamsands lets anyone, anywhere in the world enjoy and explore the beauty and weirdness of AI generated visuals.

Ask HN: As a CS undergrad, any advice on preparing for the job hunt?
Currently, I am in my second year as an undergrad working on a BS degree in CS and looking for some guidance as to what I should do to be competitive in the industry as an entry-level dev and intern. (no luck for summer 2011)

My experience so far:

Java - 3+ yrs

C++ - 2+ yrs

C - 2 yrs

JS - 1 yrs

CSS, HTML5, WebGL, RoR, nodejs, gdata & Facebook APIs < 6 months

So, I've been trying to expose myself to as many trending techs and languages I can to augment my education. I do a lot of personal projects that often expand my skillset breadth-wise and go deep enough to give me a decent foundation. Usually once the project is done I move on to something new and have found myself looking for a project that has some real application I can get behind and roll out a polished product. (any suggestions?)

Based on your experience, what advice do you have for a CS student entering the workforce in the near future? If you could go back to your first job hunt, what would you have done differently?

Any advice is useful and greatly appreciated. (skills, location-related, hobbies, project suggestions, cs electives, etc.)

Thank you!
