I've been 3d printing for over 5 years now and launching a 3d printing education site http://start-to-print.com. Here are some of the pain points we hear a lot.

3d printing is expensive

- You can have something 3d printed the size of a tennis ball for 5-10 euro's at 3dhubs.com. You save 10 euro on shipment compared to shapeways and you'll have your object in 2 days rather tan 2 weeks.

It's complicated

- Well the first thing I 3d printed wasn't something I designed myself but was something I found online. Chances are that somebody already created the thing you were looking for.
- Even after 200 models I still curse when I try a new (supposed super easy) modelling tool. But hey they are free now and you can find lots of video tutorials. Like me you're probably a fast learner. It's more taking the first step to spend an evening on it.

Desktop 3d printers suck

- Until 2 weeks even I had that impression, but since I bought my 3rd: a 2,000 dollar Zortrax M200 I changed my mind. I'm all into open-source but this thing is really plug and play and take away a lot of the hazzle I had before. Even my wife can start a print now. So far it's been printing for 50 hours and 25 model with zero print failures. I't no longer kickstarterish.

There are better alternatives

- Yes. But 3d printing it's just a good fit for me. I'm a software engineer, I just like to work digital and I'm very lazy. Often I can just download it and print.

The 3d printing hype is over

- Yes, but 500k-1M free 3d models on thingiverse.com is REAL. My 2000 Zortrax printer really works well and is what I was hoping 3d printing would be like.
Detecting the Undetectable: The growing sophistication of fileless attacks
No, he hasn't, except for the galleries.

In England at least, a poor area still has little cafés [1]. The menu is similar enough — fried breakfast etc — but it will be served on an actual plate, rather than a chopping board or slate. The choice of restaurant might be a larger pub, or a place that also/only offers take-away (McDonalds or a small Cantonese place, for example). The market probably has less promotion of organic produce, and will sell produce as well as cheap clothes and household goods.

I used to live in a poor area of London, which I think was built in the 1960s. There were cul-de-sac roads, but most of them continued with footpaths so journeys wouldn't take too long. On the main road there was a school, church, doctor's office, dentist, library, small grocery store, beer/wine shop, bakery, cheap café, pizza take-away, Chinese take-away, Indian take-away, fish and chip shop, pharmacy, newsagent, youth club and 'village' green including play equipment. The pub-with-dining had recently closed, I'm not sure if that's still the case. All of this is within 5-10 minutes walk of most people, beyond that distance and they are close to the next cluster of shops.

There wasn't a market, but there was a market selling fruit and veg in the nearest 'town', which was about 5-10 minutes by bicycle, or 10-20 by walk+bus.

?

..Of course we are all humans, but that doesn't say anything about what you have been taught since birth, what you believe to be true, your values, etc.

This is not "immigration". It's invasion by 80% military age young men with unknown past, and very questionable beliefs.
Hadoop 2.6.3 Release Notes

Struts in a Black Bikini – Jennifer Connelly
And before then the Saxons. And it's worth bearing in mind the Roman soldiers in Britain weren't all of Italian peninsular extraction. Many of them were levies from places all over the Empire, including the regions of the Middle East and North Africa from which many of the current wave of migrants also originate. It's hard to believe that absolutely none of them left a genetic legacy behind.
The fix to failed integration is not to prevent people from getting in. It's to improve integration.

I can't believe this has to be said on HN. When you find a bug in one of your app's features, you don't remove the feature, you fix the bug.

Edit: As a sidenote, linking to the daily mail as a source for immigration-related matters is akin to linking to timecube as a source for physics papers.

Edit 2: Someone replied to my edit, but deleted their post and I didn't reply in time, so posting my reply below:

The Daily Mail doesn't so much reflect "the feelings of a large portion of the country", as much as "the feelings of a large portion of the country" happen to be easily manipulated by outrage-driven media. As for integration failures, one of the main drivers is islamophobia. Removing that really does come down to treating each other as human beings instead of being afraid of "The Different Ones".
Well, if people would like to try a linux-kernel OS without systemd - or in general if you like to try a good OS - I will always recommend Slackware.

People who compete want to get recognition for their accomplishments. "Getting off this rock" has so far been led closer to becoming true by cold hard competition.

I've been trying to build a contextual runtime for a while now (I always get distracted by other projects). My thoughts (which I, very briefly, at one point somewhat collected here [1]) include:

* Using a planner to solve across application metadata from the current context.

* A system like circuit [0] to manage the context and plan across multiple devices.

* A projected UI system to allow applications to project their UI to any device as required, allow the user to style all of their windows across many devices, and enabling the arbitrary combination of that UI...

* Which allows for composited, auto generated, monolithic applications (Photoshop, Visual Studio), allowing for the do one thing well design of Unix to apply to applications (regardless of where they are hosted, the cloud, your personal device cloud, or the current device).

At this point I would be happy to just have such a system.

I don't think people crying for net neutrality understand how many people in India still do not have Internet access. Even free access to facebook changes people's lives in a better way.
I belong to a small village in eastern UP, and the Internet penetration is still very less there. The Internet has huge potential to change people's lives for the better, and I have experienced it in my own life. Lots of people still can't afford to pay for the Internet, and for those people, as well as for their children, getting access to a subset of the Internet, however small, means a lot.
Why? The problem with colonization is that it disrupted the holistic growth of national communities like we experienced in XVIII to XIX century. We've "grown up" since then, recognising the competitive advantage of exploiting talents regardless of cultural provenance; but we couldn't do the latter without going through the former process and recognising its limits. Colonised countries were blocked from experiencing a similar process.

No doublethink involved, as long as you see history as a continuum, rather than believing in a fixed set of norms (typically your own, no offense) as an absolute ideal "best" transcending space and time.
Ford and Google Plan to Build a New Autonomous Car Company
I think PH suffers from an identity crisis.

It started off as a curated newsletter and became a portal. It never fully embraced a community-driven approach (as evidenced by their opaque curation policy) nor a pivot to a more search engine/yelp-like community. In essence, they have yet to conquer their scalability problem: how to maintain quality while increasing quantity of products. It's a bloomin' hard problem to be fair to them.

What I am most disappointed by is that with network effects, it is beneficial for a community as a whole to have one dominant portal. The one thing you want for a dominant community platform is transparency (there's an argument for decentralization too), a requirement that has yet to be met.

Ask HN: What happens after your site is ready for launch? How to get traffic?
Hi,

This question is more for solo-founders (i.e. people without funding or big PR teams). Let's say you have a great idea and you managed to create your site but now what happens?

There is a huge list on submit.co but most of these sites are too big for small projects (techcrunch, producthunt, etc) or have a waiting list of 2+ months (betalist, etc). The list is still helpful though.

So how do you guys get the word out? Do you buy PPC ads? What are you favorite methods?

So far, I see the following methods getting some results for me:

1. Show HN, Reddit (merit based + no payment)
2. Openhunt (very new site + not much traffic)
3. PPC ads (facebook, adwords works but very costly for good keywords)
4. Contacting bloggers by twitter / email who write about similar products (works sometime but time consuming)
5. Organic traffic (takes time but quality backlinks are hard to get)

What else there is? Please share your own personal experiences as to what worked for you and what is a waste of time, so all the startup wannabes (like me) can learn from each other! :)
Am I the only one who noticed `php -S` is used, which is a debug server, not intended even for testing purposes?

One cannot seriously consider this for anything except a proof that basic utilities like zip, netcat, supervisord and php can be scripted with a higher-level language to hack together something that somehow works.

That being said, I like this cool hack.
It's not, but it IS different from looking at a tree and analyzing its bark and leaves, or looking at a bird and wondering why it has feathers instead of fur.

> The problem with colonization is that it disrupted the holistic growth of national communities

The same with immigration, then. Psychologically is even worse maybe, because instead of an overtly foreign power coming to conquer your land it's your own very government selling your society.
Me too. I actually scrolled back and forth a couple of times thinking I missed something (I only skimmed the text).
I really like that projects such as Anko & Anvil exist but I am not a fan of declaring layouts in the middle of the Activity's code.

I am have nothing against getting rid of XML : it is not that bad in practice since the IDE writes the boring parts but still ugly to read.

Separating the presentation from the code is an important feature though, especially for very large applications.

> Clearly this is the same as what systemd does? Do we conclude from this that OpenBSD feels "not modular", since it has an NTP implementation in the same repository as its init, or is it only bad if systemd does it?

Well, you CAN replace OpenNTPD in OpenBSD (and you should if you need e.g. autokey), and it will just work™.

The issue with systemd is certainly not the bundling, it's the tight coupling which makes it a lot less modular than it claims to be.
That screenshot is OS X? Anyone got any tips to achieve a look like that? I thought OS X customisation was basically dead.
Read the section titled "What is the point?" - http://larrysanger.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/How-and-Wh...

You may disagree with the author's reasons but at least read the whole article before saying that quite a long section is "entirely missing".
Painting is a terrible comparison.

The eyes are far more subtle and sensitive to information, which is what differentiates "good" paintings from "bad" paintings. You could change the tiniest detail in a painting and totally change the emotions people feel about it. Paintings can access the parts of our brain that process human faces and deep memories.

Fish on rice, on the other hand, is a fairly simple combination of flavors. Most of the flavor comes from the fish. Sure, the quality of the fish matters, but I'd bet if you A/B tested "good" vs grocery-store sushi, people would randomly choose one or the other as "better". To put it another way, I don't believe in objective quality of sushi. I've had grocery store sushi that was better than super-authentic, super-expensive sushi.

This all reminds me of people thinking wine is an art and has much more subtlety than it has[1].

I'm not so sure. With media apps like Netflix, BBC iPlayer, VLC etc and a fairly capable if somewhat basic version of MS Office available? Throw in the aforementioned web browsing as well and it's probably viable for 80% of a casual computer users' needs.

The OS itself shouldn't really matter as long as it can stay out of the way in the background, one thing Android does offer is a large ecosystem of apps.
This is a very whiny article, and I find it funny that by the end of an article filled with the sentiment that racism in cooking is bad, that white people are just as capable, he finishes off by effectively saying that white people are better:

> [the white cook has] probably had to train a lot harder and knows a little bit more about what is actually going on then, let’s say, someone who can just land a sushi job just because he is Asian; in that sense, they literally bring nothing to the table besides being Asian.

On top of this, I find it troubling that diversity complaints and gender quotas are now apparently being aimed at legal/loved/admired cultural traditions. If Japanese sushi kitchens are mainly run by Japanese men...let them at it. What harm is it to you or anyone? As a white male, I don't expect that I'd be let become a geisha any time soon, and that seems fair enough to me...?
I used an Asus Transformer Prime as my laptop for some time, and in some ways the experience described here sounds like it's actually gotten worse on an interface level since 4.0.

For the most part though, I found it reasonably decent for just a "monkeying around on the internet" desktop, but when I needed to actually do work, it quickly became useless. Google Docs on Android is a fucking travesty of a thing, and MS Office was not yet available at the time.

I'm not disputing the photos, I'm disputing the source. The Daily Mail has an agenda and constantly tries to show the worst of the worst of any situation.

Are those kids actually coming to europe in waves of immigration? If not, why do they matter in talks of immigration?

And let's imagine for a moment they are - is denying them entry the right approach? Leave them in whatever neighbouring country they happen to be in at the time? These kids can be fixed. They're not wielding weapons because they're inherently evil. They were raised in a terrible environment and need to be treated like other, non-immigrant kids raised in terrible environments. We don't give up on people just because they're from somewhere else.

We are all humans. This doesn't merely mean that we should treat each individual as a human being - it also means that we should treat our neighbouring countries as we would want our own country to be.
There seems to have been some progress on this front recently though - kgraft and kpatch or whatever they are called currently.
My biggest problem with ggplot is that it's slow, unbearably slow. It also enforces all data to be realized into a single dataframe, which is true only for small (as is: fits in memory) datasets.

Very often, to produce specialized plots, I have to send data to the canvas in chunks by performing pre-processing myself. ggplot really doesn't work in this scenario. Combined with the general slowness, it forces me to use alternatives quite frequently.

It's a bummer, really, because I'd like my plots to have a consistent visual style, and doing that across different plotting packages is an issue.

I very often resort to gnuplot when it comes to huge datasets and/or incremental plotting. The same is true also in python (matplotlib is also very slow, independently of the backend). But at least, if you use seaborn (https://github.com/mwaskom/seaborn), you can easily intermix the easiness of plotting through a DataFrame or just supply data arrays.

ggplot is really awesome for what it does, but 1) the syntax doesn't really please me (feels just plainly forced onto the wrong context 2) doesn't scale, which forces me to use alternatives too frequently 3) trying to customize the plot style beyond a few minor tweaks is pure hell.
Isn't that... exactly what I typed?
> invent something monolithic that isn't better than what it replaced

What. Even if you disagree with systemd, literally anything is better than init.
Depends on the details I guess. I signed up to ProductHunt I a year ago and still can't comment, vote or submit unlike the chosen few and as a result have not taken much interest in it. If Openhunt becomes more like HN where I can do that stuff I think I'd use it.
If you substitute sushi for coffee or microbrews, I think his dismissal will sound much more reasonable. A fluff article deifying a hipster barista or brewer is met with rolled eye, but write about the same concept in a different culture and the mystique seems genuine.
I've known lots of kids that where indoctrinated since birth with all kinds of political and/or religious beliefs. Most of them had pretty much grown out of them by their early 20's, and even the ones that didn't ended up much more nuanced in their beliefs than their parents.
Thanks for your comment, I went through the entire article asking "Where's the redesign?", and had to come to the comments hoping somebody's linked to it in some way.

I really don't think that the OP's redesign does anything new, it just seems to be "I removed some stuff that's there for some very specific edge cases and wrote a Medium post about it".

Maybe it's because I'm used to Royal Mail's parcel slips, I don't know. But it looks just as confusing as before.
