Free online tools that simplify my life
http://kevinboss.net/the-internet/free-online-tools-that-simplify-my-life
After my friend had his hard drive crash, and he lost a lot of important data, I realized I’ve been protecting myself from something like this without even noticing. If my computer crashed right now and I lost everything on my hard drive, I wouldn’t lose anything important. Not because I’m paranoid and have a tape-system backup in my basement, but because I take advantage of free & portable web technologies that simplify my life. If you don’t use them now, check them out. Who knows, you might find something useful.

A quick view on WordPress, Mantis and Jenkins plug-in API
http://www.kinoshita.eti.br/2012/10/25/a-quick-view-on-wordpress-mantis-and-jenkins-plug-in-api/
I’m preparing a plug-in API proposal for TestLink, and thought that the best way to learn how to write a good plug-in API would be by looking at other application’s plug-in API’s. This post contains information that I gathered for creating this new API, but that may also be useful for other programmers. I used WordPress, Mantis and Jenkins in this study. Let me know if you find any mistakes or if you have any other suggestions.

Ask HN: decentralised P2P website mirroring?
The recent case of Wikileaks being booted off AWS provoked the following thought: if lots of people started mirroring wikileaks on EC2, Amazon would be forced into playing whack-a-mole to stop it. Game over: the revolt of a user-base, the inevitable collateral damage, etc. leads to bad PR and (hopefully) reform and vertebrates. Amazon's nice GUI combined with their introductory offer making a micro instance basically free for a year, means that putting up a how-to page/YouTube video showing every college kid with a credit card how to do it can't be too difficult.

My question is, what next? How to you turn a swarm of small, transient mirrors, potentially not just on EC2 but all over the 'Net, into something findable and load-balanced to deal with the (potentially) huge demand of serving Wikileaks traffic?

Therein lies a problem. Round-robin DNS load-balancing with a very short TTL is one obvious approach, but this begs the question of how one boot-straps and then maintains the CNAME record containing the list of mirrors. The stable domain could be a CNAME to DNS servers that are themselves part of the mirroring swarm, if each node acted as both a DNS and an HTTP server. Each node would return a randomized list of the nodes in it's neighborhood.

Apart from that, I'm not much further along in my thinking. What do you think about the feasibility of the idea?

It disgusts me to see all that money spent - for what?
http://www.pressthepresident.com/show.jsp?article=38072
We are all blabbering about government overspending, and about unemployment, and about our money going somewhere for no reason … but some of us are willing to pay to put tar on somebody because of political reasons. I mean, negative ads are unavoidable during election season, but this year mailboxes and airwaves seemed even more crowded with political attacks than usual. Non-candidate spending on communications advocating the election or defeat of particular candidates reached nearly $400 million this cycle, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, a nonpartisan campaign finance watchdog organization. That's nearly 60 percent higher than the $268 million spent on the 2006 midterm elections. As a result of a series of recent Supreme Court cases dealing with campaign finance, non-candidate entities like party committees, special interest groups, and political action committees could raise and spend unlimited money on these communications, known as "independent expenditures." These expenditures can go toward advertising on TV, radio, and the Internet, as well as phone banks, canvassing, and mailings. But voters in some districts saw the effects of the new campaign finance rules more than others. Voters in Colorado and Pennsylvania were perhaps the most inundated with ads opposing particular candidates. The Senate candidates in those two states were the top four most-attacked candidates of the 2010 midterm election cycle, as measured in dollars spent on independent expenditures opposing them. In House races, the Rust Belt region saw the most money spent on these political messages-seven of the ten most-attacked House candidates were from districts in Ohio, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. Some of us did show that they are willing to put their own money against somebody not for anybody. And you think that is fair and wise to do so in this time of recession and high unemployment? Me not and I can openly say that I’m disgusted by that action no matter who and way did it.

Simple social music streaming on the iPhone
http://www.jamjockey.com
We’re excited to announce the launch of our new social music service JamJockey.

JamJockey offers over 11 million free streaming tracks on the iPhone and is now available for free on the Apple AppStore (download link).

JamJockey was created as side project by the two of us over the course of several weeks. We were frustrated with traditional cloud music services and gimmicky social music experiences so we decided to build a simple social streaming music service that had no unnecessary frills -- JamJockey was born.

Let us know what you think!
Ask HN: How to get an iOS 4.3 iThing for testing? Anybody have one for sale?
For a long time now, I've worked hard to keep my apps running on every iDevice ever made, from the original iPhones on up. But as part of the push towards iOS7, Xcode no longer builds armv6 code and so it's iOS 4.3+ only.

BUT - I don't actually have a 4.3 device for testing, only an old 3G iPhone with 4.1. I have devices that _would_ run iOS 4.3, but alas Apple doesn't let you install older OSes by stopping the signing of them.

In advance, no, I don't have a jailbroken iThing with saved blobs.

It is surprisingly hard to try to find an iOS 4.3 device on Craigslist, and yet 7% of my userbase is on iOS 4.3?!

Thanks for any ideas!

Ask HN: Get GPT-3 access by helping someone with months of experience use it
I'll show you how to get your own GPT-3 account in less than 24 hours. I've used this technique to get 2 accounts approved by OpenAI.

I've been building stuff with GPT-3 months. You'll learn to use it by using GPT-3 to help a high school student* write scholarship essays, which are due soon.

My projects have been on the frontpage of HN 3 times. I lead a startup in the gaming and computer science education industries. I'm Triplebyte certified iOS, Android, Frontend, Generalist, and DevOps engineer. I'm also a user interface/user experience designer.

Every scholarship in the USA is unique and requires their own special essay. I have a higher chance of getting a scholarship if I write an essay customized to that scholarship. So, to apply to as many as we can, we will write a GPT-3 prompt that takes a scholarship description and writes GPT-3 prompts for writing an essay for that scholarship. This is called a "metaprompt"– a prompt that writes a prompt.

Feel free to ask me any questions my experience using GPT-3 or becoming a software developer at a young age.

* The high school student is me. I'm the developer who's been on the frontpage of HN 3 times.
Ask HN: How do you manage your personal development?

Interactive html5 music video
http://evelyn-interactive.searchingforabby.com/
we have just developed and released an interactive HTML5 music video for the song evelyn from ABBY.

it is written in javascript. we had to write our own syncing methods because the song has about 120bpm and 5 tracks have to be in sync the entire time. it also adapts to your browser's and machine's perfomance in order to be able to play on older machines, too.

it might take some time to load because the videos are 170mbs in total.

let us know what you think... thanks dom.

For the programmer who keeps up with the joneses(the newest languages, frameworks, libraries, etc), what's next?

If you could theoretically know everything about programming, what would be the next step to continue developing yourself. Would you start a business, or would you push the envelope programming, such as AI, or give back to the open source community by creating an API that would make things easier?

I ask because I've been improving my programming skills for some time, but not improved my life as dramatically.

A Practical Way to Make Invisibility Cloaks
http://www.technologyreview.com/printer_friendly_article.aspx?id=37720
A new printing method makes it possible to produce large sheets of metamaterials, a new class of
materials designed to interact with light in ways no natural materials can. For several years,
researchers working on these materials have promised invisibility cloaks, ultrahigh-resolution
"superlenses," and other exotic optical devices straight from the pages of science fiction. But the
materials were confined to small lab demonstrations because there was no way to make them in large enough quantities to demonstrate a practical device.
