Paper: The Latest Step In Facebook’s Native Ad Master Plan
http://contently.com/strategist/2014/02/05/paper-the-latest-step-in-facebooks-native-ad-master-plan/
Paper isn’t about Facebook trying to screw publishers out of ad revenue, like during the 2011 summer of social readers. Nor is it the social kingpin’s midlife crisis, unveiled on the eve of its tenth birthday.

It’s much more than that. Paper is Facebook’s latest (and smartest) move towards controlling the flow of content, and all the native ad dollars that go with it.

Facebook Poke is dead, Hiddenhint is the new king
http://www.hiddenhint.com/
Do you wonder if someone you are interested in has the same feelings for you? You want to find out but have not had the guts. Hiddenhint offers you in a new way to find out if your feelings are mutual without the risk of losing friendship or the embarrassment of getting turned down.
With the app Hiddenhint you simply add someone you are interested in to your secret list. He or she will then receive an anonymous message explaining that someone is interested. If the person you are interested in adds you, a match is made. You now know that you are both interested in each other and can take your relationship to the next level.

Military uses virtualisation to ease maintenance and increase IT flexibility

Ask HN: What to do when a project grows inorganically?
So, I am in a bit of a pickle. I guess you could say I have written myself into this mess (pardon the pun).

About two years ago I started working on a few projects for a gaming community I was starting. I ended up making a small "stack" that consists of an event based plugin stack, server management systems & utilities, monitoring systems as well as many other things that I have needed.

The problem started to arise when I finally had to start maintaining/fixing everything. The largest of the projects has grown over 120,000 lines. This would be fine, but the problem is accented by the fact that I didn't leave any comments nor did I start using any source control until I was almost done with the project (because I am an idiot, "good code explains itself" I said, how naive was I?).

If that wasn't enough, I am also using way too many different languages. A majority of everything written in Java, PHP, C, and BATCH/BASH scripts.

It's getting to the point where I am wondering if I should nuke the projects and start over.

Does anyone know what what language would work the for being maintainable, fast, and fit all of my use cases (Websites, communication across a network, managing processes/daemons, portability)? I'd like to have, if possible, write everything in one language and still be clean.

I guess that this is at least a good learning experience for me. Most people, from what I understand, make this sort of mistake where it really matters, not in some side project.

In any event, thanks for reading this and I hope you at least got a good chuckle out of my misery.

Show HN: Semdle – a novel AI /NLP powered, semantic-based word game
http://167.71.1.193/
Semdle, is a novel Artificial Intelligence (NLP) powered, semantic-based word game. It's like Wordle, but with a twist - you have to guess words with higher semantic score (closest in meaning) to find the hidden word.

What is semantic and example?
Semantics is the study of meaning in language. It can be applied to entire texts or to single words. For example, "destination" and "last stop" technically mean the same thing, but students of semantics analyze their subtle shades of meaning.

How to Play
~ Guess the hidden word in 20 tries.
~ One hint word is provided at the start of game to get you started.
~ Each guess must be a valid English word. Hit the enter button to submit.
~ For each guess, a semantic similarity score shows how close your guess was to the hidden word.
~ Use additional 4 hints as needed.

Challenge and fun aspects
~ The game uses GPT-3 APIs from OpenAI to compute the dynamic semantic score for each guess word. The hints too are generated dynamically using GPT-3 prompts.
~ There are infinite paths to successfully completing the game. As such, the game play is unique to each player.
~ The game play allows implicit multiple strategies for players to discover and apply.
~ The skill is to use limited hints, and guess words with higher semantic score to reach the goal.
~ The game score can be computed and shared based on combination of number of tries and hints used (not yet implemented in beta).

This is currently in beta and I would love to get constructive feedback. So go ahead and give it a try - and feel free to share it with friends!

Cheers!

MEPs Anti-fraud votes for more votes?
http://europeansting.com/2014/03/21/meps-anti-fraud-votes-for-more-votes/
Fellow Europeans, you don’t have to worry any more about corruption in the Old Continent. Our MEPs voted yesterday, Thursday 20 March, in favour of the penalisation of the action of stealing your paid taxes. Can an imprisonment penalty of up to 5 or 10 years really stop the “bad boys” from usurping the EU money in a Union that is suffering from a ‘tiny’ annual corruption of 120 billion euros? And more so, why our MEPs who more and more feel now the stress of May’s judgement day coming closer, finalised this 7 weeks before the EU elections?

Show HN: Google Sheets Full SQL Select Custom Function
https://github.com/demmings/gsSQL
=gsSQL() - Is a sheets custom function that contains the full functionality of SQL SELECT statements. It is used as a custom function OR can be used from your Google Apps Script directly.

It is especially useful to perform Left/Right/Full joins and sub-queries (i.e. SELECT IN) between Sheets and/or ranges. It is also handy and quicker to read/write than the convoluted Google Sheets =QUERY() function.

I have written this for myself, but have made it an open source project for anybody to use.

Any comments, suggestions, improvements or help to improve would be greatly appreciated.

Visummly, a fun way to reuse your video
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/create-collages-from-videos-with-visummly/
Just got featured on XDA Developers.

Do you have lots of videos in your gallery but never share them?
Many great moments are forgotten and wasted, and now it's time to revive them!

Do you sometimes just miss the best moments when taking photos?
Just miss it! Yea, the camera is not very fast.

Visummly is a simple, fast, and convenient way to share the very moments of your experiences.
It extracts and collages the frames from a video. With Visummly, you will never miss a second that matters. It is as simple as: snap a short video, select the key moments and presentation style, and share the key moments in one picture with your friends on Facebook and other social media web sites. You can also use existing videos stored in your mobile phone.
Hopefully this will make you take more videos :-)

Wanna build a "best of HN/insert-feed-here" daily feed? Or it exists?
I love HN but I don't have time to read the 1,000 new posts and thousands of awesome comments every day. I'd love to have a program that, say, every hour looks at the posts from the last X hours and selects the one that was commented on or retweeted (or most-something by whatever metric) and then posts that one post to an RSS feed/page/twitter. So I can just get the, say, 5 best posts per day. Or something like that. This system could be expandable to use for any RSS feed (i.e., I want to subscribe to, say, Andrew Warner's friggin' awesome twitter but he posts so much, I just want to see his best post per day!). I would love this system and I'd help build it, market it. We can open source it! Would this interest anyone? Or does anything like this exist? It would be a fun project! :) Thoughts? (I'm new here so I'm sorry if there are any problems with this post.)
