This is great. I didn't think I'd be into something like this, and yet I've already found some items I might actually be interested in buying.

Is there a way you can tag the products with the characters that wore them? So if I click through to a pair of boots, I can see "As worn by: Grant Ward on Agents Of SHIELD". That isn't clear if I've clicked through via a "more items" recommendation.

I'm seeing quite a few bugs - the description on the "James Lug Lace Up" looks scraped/copied due to the bad formatting, and on the SHIELD characters page you've somehow missed including Daisy, even though she's already in your database. (How could you miss Daisy?! ;) )

Lastly, the design on the character pages made me think the site was broken at first. On my MacBook Pro, there are no products shown above the fold, there's just a couple of tag links & sharing buttons, and I thought the entire page was blank until I realized I had to scroll down to see the clothes:

If you have an iPad lying around, I recently made an app called Composer's Sketchpad that uses this sort of notation to its fullest. You "draw" notes directly onto a logarithmic pitch grid, and instead of having to snap to the usual array of discrete piano-key pitches (ABCDEFG), you can start your notes at any point on the y-axis and arbitrarily pitch-bend them as you draw. I've found this to be the perfect interface for playing around with musical ideas, and particularly useful for writing out expressive solos — something staff notation is just terrible for!

bestvideo+bestaudio has been flip-flopping ver time and releases between mp4 and webm though. As I'm mostly using this for consumption on an iPad, I prefer mp4, so I'm happy to have found a way to get the best possible mp4 version without having to go format hunting.

> I can't think of a single reason that anyone should have any money in an actively managed mutual fund.

I kinda agree with you. However, theoretically, I would have been more than happy to put my money in an actively managed fund IF that fund was managed by someone with a very high intelligence and who was able to sit still. By sitting still, I mean not buying and selling all the time. Often, it's far more profitable to sit on shares for many years, rather than buy and sell all the time. But I guess those fund managers are expected to come into some office every day at least from 9 to 5, regardless of whether there is anything to do. Also, they probably have co-workers and bosses who ask them what they're doing. Maybe it would be kinda boring to answer "nothing" every day for like 2 years in a row.
The Debian base is in many respects beautiful, but it also seems quite fossilized and rigid to me.
Not exactly related to this but I remember someone wrote a script which lets you download any song (by name, artist or some phrase from the song).

It uses youtube api to search the song and then download it using youtube-dl.
Of course, one of the issues with small homes in the US is that you're usually legally forced to add parking, which might take even more space than these homes. What good is a 300 square foot home when you're legally forced to build 400 square feet of parking for it?

In San Diego it's illegal to build a house unless it comes with 2 parking spaces. An apartment requires 1.25 spaces. This is ridiculous, of course, and part of why most US cities that were built after the 40's are dreadful.

Yep. The interpreter lets each thread do 2000 reductions (roughly == function calls), or until it waits for new messages if that's sooner.

I disagree, at least as far as rhythm and pitch are concerned. For classical music, staff notation is great — but once you get into syncopation, soloing, and the general fluidity that comes with practically all popular music from the past century, it becomes untenable. Seriously, writing down guitar solos in staff notation is just gross. (I've previously written a little about it here: http://beta-blog.archagon.net/2016/02/05/composers-sketchpad...)
I thought the same - I saw no evidence that WordPress or Drupal were an attack vector used at any point to get the information. You could say "someone in the company was using an old kettle, and then they got hacked, so make sure you get new kettles."

Of course you should be keeping your installation of WordPress/Drupal or whatever up to date, but it's not obvious how relevant that is to this conversation.

6. Marketplace sellers lying about the origin of delivery. Says ships from Germany, so should arrive in few days but arrives a month later from China.

7. I use a redelivery service for goods from German Amazon (because delivery to German address is often free but out of Germany very expensive). Amazon displays items to be delivered as one shipment before placing an order.

Right after ordering it displays that the items would be shipped in 4 separate shipments making the price of the delivery 4 times more expensive for me.

The housing boom built lots of houses in places many people don't want to live. Sure, there's lots of housing in suburban Stockton, but that doesn't do a lot to address the ridiculous lack of housing on the peninsula. Those places didn't see massive construction booms because NIMBY's feel they have the right to disallow home construction on land they do not own.

Some of these are spot on, but some are a little absolutist.

> -If respect isn't reciprocal, run.

Yes, in theory, but this is deceptively difficult to judge accurately on first impression. Some good people are naturally less immediately personable than others and misconceptions are common.

> -If the hiring/interview process is needlessly complicated, run.

This is a bad sign in terms of the company as a whole, and could indicate that you'll need to wade through some needless bureaucracy in your prospective job from time to time, but this is relatively common in bigger companies and doesn't necessarily indicate anything negative about the actual team/leader/interviewer you'll be directly working with/under on a daily basis.

> -If a pattern exists of mistakes (forgot to call, etc),run.

Worth considering, but it seems a little picky to say a hard no based on this alone. Some of the best technical people I've worked with are not necessarily 100% organised administratively 100% of the time.

> -If they're not paying attention [0], run.

This happens far too often. Fully agree. Run!
You dont need a gui at all gor youtube-dl. Its sufficiently explicit.
> "(ok, excluding numbers)"

That's a pretty big exclusion. There are times one really doesn't want type promotion from a particular number representation for performance or accuracy reasons, and if your dynamic typing system does not allow contracts to reject numerical types that will implicitly promote, you can run into huge performance problems.

An example: suppose you want to divide a list of numerators by a single denominator producing a new list. Each division is not guaranteed to produce an whole number. What's the type of the resulting list? What is the type of each member of the resulting list? What is the type of a sum of the resulting list? Is the per-division cost roughly constant or does it depend on the particular numerator, denominator pair?

Bear in mind not just differences between integer and real numbers, but that real numbers may be exact or inexact, and that there may be various representations of inexact numbers (from native floating point to various types of bigfloat).

Really strict typing -- whether in a dynamically typed language with contracts or similar mostly runtime mechanisms, or in a statically typed language with type checking at compile time -- forces you to deal with these questions explicitly. In this case, you might specify that the source list of divisors is a list of positive integers, and that each division produces a single floating point result (and thus you wind up with a list of floats; and you'd specify that the sum of the resulting list should be a float too). That sacrifices precision for performance, which will tend to matter depending on the content and length of the source list.

There are plenty of dynamically typed languages that get fiddly trying to avoid turning some or all of the operations into much more precise types than single float (or even doing exact representations, rational number style), and the performance impact can be dramatic.

Conversely, you may not want to lose precision as you move away from +-0.0f, so you may want to specify that exact arithmetic will be used in the operations in this example instead.

>SEO rigging? That's mostly having links from other reputable sources. If this software is good, other good sites will link to it rising it up in the search results

You have tell Google what your site is about, otherwise it's pretty hopeless; you're pretty much well asking Google to guess what terms the site should rank for.

The five-minute-basics this site needs are to create a meaningful title tag (getting "YouTube Downloader" in there would be a great start. With zero research, maybe even "YouTube Downloader - Save Videos for Later"), create a friendly meta description that'll tell people what it's about in the search result pages, and use an H1 where it's currently using a TD with "subtitle" class.

It wouldn't hurt to also have a short bullet-point list of uses cases, just to get related search terms - e.g. "save youtube to my computer" - that the big G can use to direct users to the site.

>Lot's of open source projects come up top of the results when you search for stuff because of this fact.

The problem is so bad, I know lots of people - myself included - who hunt for projects first on Github, and Google a distant second.

Google is capable of some quite incredible things; using mind-reading to find out the important parts of a project or what it relates to, sadly, isn't one of their core strengths.
Interesting point you make re: small businesses - my friend runs a web development shop, and he was telling me about how they keep accounts, and "accounts", because declaring a profit is a good way to ensure a tax inspector will arrive and won't leave until you bribe him to go away.

Interestingly, this phenomenon isn't limited to Romania - a Latvian friend running a furniture company does the same thing for the same reason - for the first two years of his business he filed genuine books - the first year, they came asking for a bribe, he refused - the second year, they raided him and took all the machine tools - so now he just "makes a loss" every year and they don't bother him.

Similarly, a Lithuanian friend who used to run a telco found himself stuck in the middle of a lover's quarrel between the state telecoms regulator and another telco who had paid a bribe to win a tender, which he then bid for and made things awkward.

Corruption is no joke - I think many underestimate the chilling effect it has on everything from civil liberties to tourism to business to tax revenue collection - if your tax collectors are corrupt, you are well and truly on the road to hell.

Re: Romania feeling safe, you're right - which is in no small part why my experience in Bucharest was such a shock - it was at total odds with the Romania I'd experienced up to that point.

I have never worked in an environment which might be called toxic or anything that comes close. we don't do that this side of the ocean. however there are still things to keep in mind.

-if they do scrum use jira have an open plan office or talk about estimates then those are big contra-indicators. if you get freedom about work times that's good.

-scrum is there to have better control over you aka big brother is watching you. same for an open plan office (especially if the entire team sits together). this makes for an environment where you feel watched all the time.

- if they want you to come in at a specific time that's also because they want to watch your entire work-day.

- if they talk about estimates this often means a focus on efficiency and a lot of pressure.

- if they use jira then you won't have a say about what you will do and are probably just a code monkey.

- on the other hand, if they give everyone their own office, let people work from home or give you more freedom about which time you come in then this means they trust their employees and are a good choice.

- if they ask you your opinion about things that matter then this is good too (it means they are not just hiring you as a code monkey).

Apply HN: Siris Rooms – African Hotel Chain
Millions of Africans travel everyday, most of whom are on a budget. The average expenditure per head is between US $5 and $15, which makes even Airbnb's listings in Nairobi, an expensive choice for most. The budget hotels they are forced to stay in, however lack facilities required for basic comfort; some have dirty linen and mosquito nets (we're in the tropics), difficult check in/out and payment processes, insects and at times no water for your morning shower. ( www.booking.com/hotel/ke/sentrim-680.en-gb.html)

Then Comes Siris,
a tech based hotel chain developing in partnership with hotel owners, in a uber-like model. We partner with hotels to offer us exclusively, a percentage of their inventory, which we brand and sell as Siris Rooms through offline and online channels. We offer these hotels guests their first predictable hotel experience, while helping hotels sell unused inventory, in Kenya hotel occupancy is at 45%.
