Seriously? You can use the app for less than hour and it will pay for itself considering the hourly rate of an average programmer. A useful professional tool that will make development flow easier and save you time and fifty bucks is expensive? $19 is peanuts. I use Paw quite often and every time I use it I discover some new little detail that the developers put in. It's not a basic app, it's well-designed and it's useful. $19 - seriously that's less than what many people spend on coffee in a week. $50 is not at all expensive for a tool that used in a professional setting on a regular basis. Far from it.

Ask HN: How do you load test your application?
We're looking at ways to load test our AWS hosted SaaS product.

The application is behind load balancers and takes advantage of Elastic Beanstalk's auto scaling. It would be good to get an idea of how much, and what type of traffic we can handle before the application begins to scale up.

We are looking at using Goad (https://goad.io/).

Does anyone have any other recommendations or advice?

Show HN: CryptoCribs – A no cost Airbnb alternative for the crypto community
Double-power on the Nexus 6P on Oreo - it's very nice.
We've built this over the summer and launched it four weeks ago. We have around 150 listings and a couple hundred of users so far. We are not doing an ICO, but rather charge a small fee (less than half of what Airbnb takes) in the beginning to bootstrap. The fees fall to zero if a user books or hosts a couple of times and/or gets positive reviews, which we call "reputation mining". Would love to get some feedback or have you as guest or host. If you're already hosting on some other site, just pm me the link and we'll set up the listing for you.
There are still issues being worked out. They are solvable, but there is a challenge in getting consensus on a particular set of decisions about how to implement modules.

If the browser can do it what's stoping a headless browser bot from evaluating it all the same? Is it just to lower the attack surface?
> > Yes there are adapters for now but they're transitional and we can expect them to eventually go away.

> Unlikely. The headphone market is huge and these devices are expected to work with everything, from mobile devices to AV Receivers, DACs, amps and studio equipment. The headphone jack isn't going anywhere.

> > Only music you have purchased through your phone's marketplace may be played, and only to an authorized device.

> I doubt it. The music industry is pretty open these days and has given up on DRM for a long time - you can buy DRM-free, lossless music from countless places and while I understand that purchasing music has become rare, your scenario would be a dealbreaker for anyone that still does and truly owns their music. That might be a small share, but still a significant crowd. It would render the device close to useless for people like me. This is a whole other level compared to the compromise of an adapter.

You can still do this in at least some shells. PowerShell buffers input if the running program doesn't capture it. If I have a build and execute commands in the history, I can hit up-up-enter twice in a row to start the build and queue the execution command.
A poor person walks into a jewelry store, buys an expensive shiny diamond. A day later it gets stolen. Poor person goes into an other jewelry store and buys yet another diamond. It breaks lose from its gold ring. Local jewelry store can not repair it. Poor person cries his pain out to the internet.

What about buying stuff that you can actually afford?

I earn quite a lot by most standards and I would not even think about getting a MacBook, unless the company gives me one for free.

As far as I'm aware a huge chunk of the cost is that hearing aids because of size and low power requirements need to use balanced armatures instead of dynamic drivers to produce sound[0]. Anyone involved in the high-end IEM world will know that a pair of those costs north of $80-$100 and at least for IEMs each earpiece will contain between 1 and 6 of the little things.

Yep. requests.session fixes the vast majority of cookie / login / session / problems. Replaying the same headers is also a powerful technique, so long as they aren't constantly changing.

ASPX is still horrid, but just about doable if you pull all the hidden form variables out of the HTML and put them back into the header verbatim. But you're probably best off going down a headless browser route at that point.

Exactly what I said. It runs "fine" on 7, while it runs slow(er) on 6S.
As a self-confessed Paw fanboy, I'm kinda baffled by this. It seems a bit like complaining that you're forced to work with spreadsheets in Excel or text documents in Word. You need _somewhere_ to put the requests, and even if you don't want to have one Paw project per, err... project, you can just create one and then use it for everything and it'll even re-open it automatically every time you open the app.

And, if it helps, you can rename a request in Paw by clicking on its name in the sidebar while you have the request selected or clicking on the name where it shows up as a title in the Description panel in the middle of the screen.
Please can you tell me what they are called? I think I'd find them very useful.
One of the main reasons I don't use iOS or macOS anymore is because of the animations. Even very, very short animations make the whole experience excruciating for me. It feels slow and unresponsive.
The browser console and the DOM make for a decent interface to the game if you want to try your hand at "automating" (cheating) parts of the game..

For example: I eventually wrote and ran an interval function in the console to automatically click the Quantum Computing button only when all my available photonic chips were producing a collective net-positive result.

Nope, not randomly. Having a random error profile is the best case. In reality these machines suffer from systematic errors, especially the Illumina ones. That means that they always fail to read through certain pieces of DNA, or make the same error every time.
I see you got the true moral of the story. /s

I don't mind this but I wonder what it would take to make it so you could SSH to the same domain and make it somewhat interactive. Letting anyone connect with any username (and based on their username allow them to open files personalized to that) I often wonder the effort it would take to make custom shells for people to connect to without giving too much access to a server for personal reasons.
This needs to be more widely known. You'd think from reading marketing material that you would be listening to Mozart and jazz the week after implantation.

The reality is that you have basically no pitch perception. 16 frequency bands across, say, the four octaves that music is interesting? You're lucky to discriminate half-octaves let alone semitones.

Temporal aspects of music come through alright. I suppose you could be a drummer.

This is a complicated topic. Here is one example line of thought:

1. Wow, all of these cars are annoying -- let's restrict them

2. But, rich people own these cars, and many of them drive into the city to spend money, which pays the workers

3. We all agree traffic is annoying, so those rich people sure must prefer to drive their cars

4. Hmmm, what will happen if we punish/tax/regulate their cars? Possible they'll stop coming into the city?

5. If that happens, what happens to the workers?

My primary point is that it's easy to say, "these cars suck, so let's tax them" without thinking through all of the ramifications.
Anecdotal and I'm in the UK but you can get them from £10 up, eg. this one for £20 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hearing-Rechargeable-rAdjustable-Am...

Reasons

- better quality - the good ones are small computers that use very little power and try to pick out voices from background etc. Apparently the challenging bit for him is dinner parties where you are trying to hear one voice out of several people talking.

- it includes an Audiologist - he's 87 and needs a bit of help on the tech side

- I guess he has the money and values hearing more than the 2k.

It would be cool if computer analysis could understand the several conversations at the party and you could click on the one you wanted or point that way or similar. Maybe in the future, probably won't be cheap.

Well everything was defined as String even when it was expecting an Int or Bool value. But sometimes an Int still needed to be wrapped in double quotes to work. No date formats. Objects returned of type class A sometimes had only 30% of it's fields populated (like after an insert only the database ID and creation date). Fields expecting an enum like value but the expected values not specified.

I mean it makes sense if you just export some kind of Postman / Paw configuration without paying any attention to it. File > Export > Bye Bye.

Of course most of my complaints are related to a lazy programmer sending "documentation" with the absolute least amount of effort possible, but I now at least understand how it was made and why it was as awful as it was.

I might add the actual legal way at our university in case anyone wonders. The official way to get paywalled papers we do not have bulk-orders for is this:

1. Go to the university library in person.
2. Submit a order-and-copy request for that paper.
3. Return 2 days later unless there is a weekend in-between.
4. Print a non-searchable, non-zoomable (extremely annoying in CG where I work) copy because getting the PDF is forbidden due to legal issues.

Now combine this with the usual way to do related work research for your own paper:
1. Search relevant papers for your topic.
2. Check who else cited these paper and read those papers.
3. Complete this breadth-first-search until time runs out or the papers become too off-topic.

This (in my field) yields a stack of around 120 papers I would have to order that 2-day-print-copy for of which in turn 100 are most probably irrelevant and hence will not be part of my papers related work section. Note also that I would have to order each "layer" of the breadth-first search separately - each time taking 2 days. Compare that to a day of related work research with sci-hub.

Quite obviously I have never met a researcher who took the legal/official road ;)
I also run into this problem when asking on SO. Even if you write in the question "I've already ruled out ... as a possible solution" you still get people trying to argue about it. I'd rather they ignore the question...
But is there a place online where you can buy cheap hearing aids that you can tweak yourself?

I'm genuinely interested in the answer, as I am very likely to get hearing loss in the future, and might start being pro-active if there is a cheap alternative I could try right now, before my hearing gets bad.
As someone with un-impaired hearing I really don't get why I can't a programmable enhanced hearing device for less than $100.

Fuck Magic Leap, surly enhancing hearing is easier and cheaper.

Block traffic. Enhance birds. Perhaps translate. Listen to tv how I want.
> Unlike a phone, I wouldn’t say “close to a day’s usage” is acceptable for a product that allows a user to hear.

I wasn't suggesting that people only be allowed to hear for ten hours out of every twenty-four.

As noted in the sentence that followed that one you reacted to, I went on to write:

"Certainly two recharged pairs should see you through a day."

TFA, and parent, is about how danged expensive hearing aids <tm> are -- while parent is all about the alternative of 'hearphones' that are around US$500 (about 1/6th of what hearing aids cost in Australia).

I've heard (in some places) in Mexico you can have groceries delivered to you from Walmart[0]. I was told about it, but after finding that article it seems a Walmart owned business, mind you this article is from 2014, and I heard about this in 2007 ~ 2008 from someone who was living in Mexico at the time. It is very interesting to see businesses other than food places deliver goods.

A really important element of WhatsApp's global success is that they had a Java ME app for featurephones.

US-centric competitors would only support iOS and Android, whereas WhatsApp was running on the hundreds of millions of 2003-2010 vintage Nokia/Samsung featurephones that were in daily use in India, Indonesia, Nigeria, etc.

That is also part of UX. When it comes to messaging apps, Snapchat is one extreme of the spectrum -- iPhone-focused, cryptic UI, teen-oriented, majority of users in USA -- and WhatsApp is the very opposite. Both are successful examples of UX focus.
Very paradoxical as social media should give companies the opportunity to engage more directly with their customers. It's like meeting a very interesting Hacker News poster IRL and the only thing that person can talk about is some kind of sports team you don't give a shit about.

Just another example of the type of ignorance we have been dealing with ever since the day RSA was invented. Unfortunately people still don't get the Rivest-Silverman paper:
http://people.csail.mit.edu/rivest/RivestSilverman-AreStrong...

To be brief, there exists infinitely many algorithms that rule out classes of so-called "weak primes", or "weak moduli." Such attacks are meaningless because you will not know which algorithm will crack a randomly chosen modulus until you try it. By trying algorithm after algorithm similar nature to this, your expected run time is exponential before you find one that works. Which essentially means that the concepts of "weak moduli" and "weak primes" are misnomers.

For an algorithm like this to be meaningful, the density of primes that it rules out needs to be significant. In this case, it is insignificant (it is exponentially small).

These things go hand-in-hand by the way. And that's not a complaint, it's just funny how "only teens bother to figure this out" can be an honest-to-goodness feature under specific circumstances. Especially if you (basically) need to be "introduced" to a program and all of its quirks through your friends.
Google is US focused so they presumably still deal with non GSM networks and the possibility of running a fingerprint without a gsm standard SIM.

I don't see how that's unique to children, all sorts of life situations require spacial responsibilities. I could write the same thing about my own medical appointments and I don't have children whereas my grandparents had ten (10) children and never owned a car in their lives.

The original thought was "everyone should be able to get everywhere they want to go easily without owning a car so a personal automobile should be considered a luxury." You're describing a situation where the first criteria was not met so the second, of course, won't follow. So your situation doesn't apply and it doesn't take away from the original idea.
