Hi HN!

I'm the creator of Runnaroo. The title is a fun little rib at Neeva, which has been getting a lot of press recently.

I initially launched Runnaroo in a Show HN [0] at the end of February, and wanted to do a followup because the site has grown considerably in features and users over the last fews of months.

The core idea of Runnaroo revolves around a search engine of federated data sources to provide the most relevant and highest quality results. We are now over 50 Deep Search sources, and adding more weekly.

Some examples of queries that I believe provide better results than peer search engines.

> Japan reacted to a crisis in the 19th century by going out and seeking the best sources to copy

That would be the Meiji Restoration, where the Japanese decided they were tired of being kicked around and were going to reform and westernize on their terms.

They chose to model their Navy off of the British, and their Army off of the Prussians (though in both cases they ended up with advisors from all over the place, like the US and Italy).

No evidence that they copied the British tradition for Pussers and regular rum rations.

Thanks for sharing. I've skimmed your post and headed right to your website in hope to get a quick overview of what you guys are actually doing.

Looking at your marketing communication and seeing Robotic Process Automation I thought, hey cool those guys can build me an assembly-line powered by robots for my new hardware product I'm designing. Then coming back reading a bit more your post (but still too lazy to read it concentrated because it's way too long, I head to the comments and see stuff more in the software automation territory like Autohotkey, Selenium...

I guess I got it all wrong but your positioning is super broad or is it just misleading communication. Whatever, good luck!

I've been doing something very similar to this for the past year and a half. I was inspired by one of my coworkers who has a long running list of notes in a google doc.

I run "vim `date -I`", which opens a file for the current day in the form `YYYY-MM-DD`. I keep it in a git repo that I commit and push to every time I add a note.

I separate topics using `===` surrounded by blank lines. When I go back to update a topic I already wrote something about, I separate it with `--` surrounded by blank lines.

The main thing this ends up being useful to me for is that I put off filing my timesheets until the end of the month, and then when our accounting lady gets after me, I can go back and actually write down semi-accurate notes on what I did each day.

In the books, there is an electronic guide to the combined knowledge and wisdom of all the various species that inhabit the universe. The guide is itself called "the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy."

I have always interpreted such titles to be a reference to this in-universe guide rather then to the novel or its characters.

We could split hairs over the fact the in-universe guide is more analogous to Wikipedia in scope and scale than a more condensed tutorial or primer, or whether the reference is obscure enough that it confuses, alienates, or distracts readers who aren't part of the intersection of Hackernews Readers and Hitchikers Guide fans.

It never really bothered me but I was a huge fan of the series when I was younger.

Edit to add: as I am a technical writer on the side, it's a timely reminder to avoid any analogies or cultural references that require knowledge others in my target audience might not share. So, interesting point!
I don't think so. Look at the other comments replying to my thread. The definition of MVP can mean finding the fastest way to validate with the least effort, as Eric Ries is quoted in the other comment. Perhaps at one point MVP did literally mean the smallest usable product but now the product does not necessarily need to be usable, it just has to validate a hypothesis.

Too bad the BSDs missed out on desktop support because the Dart team had other priorities and were focused on the mobile side of Dart, which is fine, but then their argument for not upstreaming the BSDs is quite poor.

It sounds quite ridiculous to say that Googler's maintaining Dart "...don't have the resources" to do it themselves given the might of Google's infrastructure and even when these contributors were willing to maintain it themselves as an alternative. Even with one other person having buildbots. It's not that difficult or hard to run automated tests on a BSD.

You're getting pretty far off-topic (and actually making a point that I'm trying to make myself in a separate subthread). This is the sentence I was pushing back against:

This is very true. It isn't possible for two political parties to have fruitful process and debate without both acting in good faith.

I would also point out that for many white people in the US, political affiliation is merely a way to claim tribal membership in a group as our fundamental rights are already secure. Of course this is also true more generally, but look at polling information by demographic and it's clear for example that black voters aren't confused about who is working against their interests, and largely vote accordingly. The tribalistic people have little inherant interest in policy, and care much more about protecting their identities as group members.
There can be value in exerting internal pressure on those people to statistically help move the herd. An analogy might be a dog snapping at sheep to move them to safety. A sheep dog that gets too agressive and actually bites to cause injury is counterproductive, so this has to be done diplomatically.
Not OP, but

You might not know anything about risk-taking behavior of firefighters but you may already have some vague belief like "firefighters are heroes" that obliquely colors your impression of their behavior.

Or alternatively you might hold onto the info that Germany is colder because your underlying belief is more like, you don't like cold and you don't like Germany, so you'd like to also believe that Germany is colder than other places.

This entails two things. One, your apparent position on firefighter behavior or the weather in Germany can change depending on what in the context of the conversation is being construed as good or bad. Second, trying to inform you with specific facts on these issues is unlikely to change your mind because the drivers of your positions are your more general beliefs about firefighters and Germany.

In politics, I think partisanship often degenerates in this way. Arguing the issues is often just a facade for arguing for your party's position or arguing against an opposing party's position, regardless of merit. Facts won't work here to change minds.
What could happen if you DON'T do rapid prototyping in software development
I hear you on that. Try to find little ways to help yourself.

A few suggestions, no idea if they'll work for you but maybe you find something in the list or one of them gives you an idea.

1. Meditation. Even if it's just 5 minutes a day. Most of the apps have free trials. I really like 10% Happier but all of them are reasonably good.

2. Journal. This is a good way to just snapshot your feelings and stuff. I'd suggest writing it on paper as opposed to using some form of technology. Take 5 minutes a day and write.

3. Go for a walk, maybe with the kids? Time with the kids and good for your health. Even if it's a short walk, it's something.

4. Try to find one simple way to improve each meal you eat. Can you reduce the salt? Can you swap in something healthier for that unhealthy bit?

5. Find a lightweight hobby you can do a little bit each day. Maybe it's building lego, maybe it's reading a book for fun (and not work), etc.

6. Get enough sleep... this is important. Sleep is vital and without enough of it you just set yourself further back.

I know you said time is tight, but the thing is you have to try to make time for things will get worse. Start with 5 minutes a day. Most people can find 5 minutes in their day.

Good luck. I hope you find some small ways to improve your life. Ultimately for me not working that job was better for me. This is a terrible economy though so I get that you feel stuck. When it starts to improve, take the time to find something that's better for you.

> A randomized trial for the vaccine began during the West Africa Ebola outbreak in 2015. When no other organization was positioned to run a trial in Guinea during the complex emergency, the government of Guinea and WHO took the unusual step to lead the trial.

> A global coalition of funders and researchers provided the critical support required. Funders included the Canadian Government (through the Public Health Agency of Canada, Canadian Institutes of Health Research, International Development Research Centre, Global Affairs Canada); the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (through the Research Council of Norway's GLOBVAC programme); the Wellcome Trust; the UK government through the Department for International Development; and Médecins Sans Frontières.

> In the current Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, more than 236,000 people have been vaccinated with rVSV ZEBOV GP donated by Merck to WHO, including more than 60,000 health and frontline workers in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and in Uganda, South Sudan, Rwanda and Burundi.

Arctic fires are a disaster. The countries of the world need to band together and provide the manpower and materials needed to put out the fire. Action needs to be taken quickly. And, since this has become an annual event, plans need to be made to mitigate the potential for fires in the future.

That's the obvious take-away from the new reports. In practice, it is unlikely to happen: the fires will continue to burn, more CO2 will be dumped into the atmosphere, the earth will warm further, and, eventually humans (and lots of other things) will become extinct.

World leadership ignores large scale existential issues. Scientists and engineers can call out the problems and the risks, but getting anything done will require everyone to do their part. At the moment, the lunatics are running the asylum and there are no adults around.
If the name of one of the companies making the concorde was Boom, I'm very sure people would know it.
I'm pretty sour on vim after being forced into it by `git commit` with no introduction or explanation.
You're comparing apples and oranges. The concorde used turbojet engines with afterburners. That's 10 to 50x the fuel consumption of a comparable turbofan like the one a modern airliner uses. If you are using 5x the fuel with an engine that should be burning 10x the fuel, you must be using it in a way that is twice as efficient.
My personal domain is currently paid for 9 years in advance. Namecheap also notifies me if automatic renewal did not work due to credit card issues via my personal email address.

I've also set real-time health checks on my domain to run periodically (via a service similar to Pingdom) and I should receive SMS and email alerts whenever there's something wrong with it, like MX entries not found, or the domain's expiry being in less than two months.

> "If you get a new phone subscription with a different phone provider, the phone providers are required (in the EU at least) to allow you to keep your phone number"

This is true, but if you stop paying for your subscription, or you stop recharging your prepaid SIM card, you will lose that phone number. In essence it isn't any different than paying for your own domain name.

"They're saying the American nuclear family"

Not the 'American' -> 'Western'. And that's just way of making the 'family' consistent with 'Colonialism' and 'White People' because it suits their bigotry. The nuclear family is pretty closely similar around the world, outside of mostly aboriginal communities. Obviously it's somewhat different in different places, with multi-generations under the same roof.

I view this as fundamentally antagonistic - it's 'making stuff up' to find supposedly powerful and inspiring words, 'defining the enemy' ever more as 'White People'.

It defines their struggle as not one to 'finish school and gain competence' but as merely against the forces of 'White people'.

Of course by most objective measures, nuclear families are good for society.

This is the inherent problem when we mix radicalism with 'good intentions' - they end up mestastisizing the 'grain of truth' (ie racism exists) into everything (ie everything is racist).
Yes exactly, FLOPS vs FLOPs/FLOP’s, there’s no unawkward way to write it but it’s almost always obvious from context.
They only signed up for an email list. However, even if they had paid, wouldn't this be the same thing as what Kickstarter does, except not on their platform? Hypothetically, one would offer pre-orders for a service that doesn't exist, then uses the money to make it exist. I don't see anything wrong with that.

Vehicle A takes 10 gallons of fuel to move 4 passengers 500 miles.

Vehicle B takes 40 gallons of fuel to move 4 passengers 500 miles.

In what possible universe is vehicle B more fuel efficient than Vehicle A?
Of course, who knows if the option will even exist any longer. Costs cover quite a range but they're probably more than a business class ticket and there are relatively few straight ocean crossings (vs. longer cruises).

I keep a stack of paper on my desk. I don't keep a journal with it, but I've always found that blank printer paper is the best tool for fleshing out ideas and keeping quick notes on what your thought process is.
Dedigger – Find public files in Google Drive
dedigger is a simple search/discovery engine (based on CSE) that allows you to find public files on Google Drive.
My journaling habit started with Ohlife.com way back in 2014. I found the idea of quickly recapping my week to be therapeutic., plus it was great to see entries over time.

I ended up building a product (https://www.friday.app/) to make this easy and automated. While it's built for teams to share updates and reflect (think weekly updates, retros, etc), there's "single-player" mode available too.

I like the digital journal format because I could never start the habit with paper. The automated reminders were critical to establish the habit. I still keep a regular notebook where I'll document thoughts, but it's more ephemeral.
I use Namecheap, and I have deliberately avoided their auto-renewal service because it doesn't offer me anything.

The key point is that a human needs to be involved in an audit process which occurs regularly. And so I renew all my domains once per year in December, a year in advance.

Now that I think about it, I suppose I could extend one year at a time, but keep a 1-2 year buffer (or larger) in case of dire emergency instead of a 0-1 year buffer.

You are correlating pursuing a higher salary with longer hours. That doesn't have to be the case. I quadrupled my income by just going freelance and I generally work 20-30 hours a week.

By focusing on money you can actually reduce your overall burden. In my humble opinion this far and away beats taking some low salary job just to get more time.
Information silos are an issue with every org at every level, not just with technical people. There are technological tools to help facilitate knowledge sharing (think enterprise wikis, password sharing, generic email inboxes, etc.) coupled with policies requiring things to be done a certain way (think register domains with this generic email acct., etc.). I find it interesting that companies don't put further effort into this...for exactly the reason in the original link.
There were no ICOs in the last 2 years. The community moved on from that. Decentralized non custodial exchange usage is growing, like https://loopring.org/ that’s based on zero knowledge proofs cryptography and allows 2000 trades per second, and the people who built it can’t steal your money even if they wanted to.

There are also decentralized options to protect you from volatility https://opyn.co/ or https://www.hegic.co/

There are many alternatives to Tether, for example USDc or a decentralized stable coin like DAI.

I'm glad to see I'm not alone! I also had ~/Work.MD stored for the past few years. Each day I add the date as a new top-level heading, and write notes of what I did.

I've recently started contracting (and billing hourly) so I've switched to using an org-mode file, which contains commands, links to internal stories, and other things.

As I'm contracting I figured I might be asked to justify the hours-billed, etc. So for the first time I'm explicitly writing the daily-log with the expectation that I'll share it, and the employer will see what I write.

That (perceived) level of scrutiny has really improved the detail and coverage of what I document.

I used to think the same, then I learned a bit more about how to use git on the cli. I'm not saying you haven't, I'm just saying for me, I was able to perform tasks quicker with a few tweaks.

Things i've done to do this

- replace default diff tool (I use https://github.com/so-fancy/diff-so-fancy)
- added many alias for commonly used commands and ones I often forget
- use `git add -p` (or `g a -p` in my setup) which goes through changes file by file, allowing me to add bits i want (this was the main thing I loved about a GUI based git client)
