Show HN: Notational `ls` - Never get lost in code again (hour long hack)
Hey folks, I just wanted to share a quick script I threw together called notational ls. One of the big problems of any code base (or any filesystem) is that it's hard to tell what's what - folder and file names often trade brevity for clarity.

So I thought about a version of `ls` that works like this:

> nls
web: Where python web server files are stored
ad_hoc: One time scripts
ios: Our IOS code
images

Adding descriptions is really easy too:

> nls images Images SHARED between both ios and web
web: Where python web server files are stored
ad_hoc: One time scripts
ios: Our IOS code
images: Images SHARED between both ios and web

So I whipped up said script in python and pushed it to github for all to use. Code is at https://github.com/newhouseb/nls, feel free to fork as you so please, but I must get back to real work. If there's enough interest it'd be great to turn this into a larger effort of improving the small things in our bash lives. If you're lazy, here's the source anyway (github has comments and sane spacing) - enjoy!

from subprocess import Popen, PIPE
import sys
files = Popen(["ls"], stdout=PIPE).communicate()[0].splitlines()
notes = {}
try:
nls_file = open('.nls').read().splitlines()
except IOError:
nls_file = []
for entry in nls_file:
file, note = entry.split(':', 1)
notes[file] = note
if len(sys.argv) > 1:
if len(sys.argv) == 2 and sys.argv[1] == 'bootstrap':
for file in files:
if file not in notes:
notes[file] = ''
elif sys.argv[1] in files:
notes[sys.argv[1]] = ' '.join(sys.argv[2:])
open('.nls','w').write(
'\n'.join([file+': '+note for file,note in notes.iteritems()]))
for file in files:
if file in notes:
print '\033[1m' + file + ':\033[0m ' + notes[file].strip()
else:
print '\033[1m' + file + '\033[0m'

Note: I know this code isn't perfect, but it was a quick job and is what came to mind first and, most importantly, works. If you want to improve it send me a pull request/fork it on github (this is REALLY easy now with github's recent updates).

Is there a market nowadays for a new low-cost registrar / hosting provider?
I'm still confused why would anyone want to by their domain name from GoDaddy, after all this press they get. It looks like a horrible company in general (not just this story) and everyone giving them money just helps them suck more. If I could see they are improving, then a current suckiness can be forgiven, but when actually getting worse?
To be fair, I don't think it would have mattered if it were GPL. The Chinese don't give a shit.
Wait doesn't the Roadrunner just go "Meep, Meep"

I don't know how they'll resolve this...

Ban all the steam accounts of people who've activated the keys? They'll get a whole lot of people who legitimately submitted hardware keys at the same time.

Invalidate/revoke the keys from steam? The hardware IDs they were using to run the promotion are still going to be out there in the wild, so they can't re-run the promotion, this would just minimize their losses in terms of lost profit.

As far as the keys being in plain text on the server, this doesn't even make sense from the perspective of how you design a web app; why not put the data on a separate remote/secure server? Why not at least encrypt it? Also, how are they matching the hardware IDs to the keys when people submit the official promo; are they actually doing a search through each text file to find the matching hardware key? The .htaccess mis-configuration is bad enough, but it's not the only issue here.
What do you guys use instead of GoDaddy? Just interested to see what others prefer out there. I was gonna do a domain transfer to GoDaddy, but after reading this I won't be considering them.
Where is our oil price collapse?
Lets not over-sensationalize this, buy domains from GoDaddy, just skip the other services. Their domains and SSL certs are still some of the cheapest.
Forgive me as I'm not a linux or a low-level graphics guy, but I think this is a problem inherit with the technique, not the platform.

Vsync is great, it gives excellent image quality (no tearing), but brings an inevitable input lag as there is a delay as the frame syncs up to flip. You're not going to notice this on a gui or video, but it can be felt in twitch-games (1st person shooters especially, you'll find pro-gamer types often turn vsync off for this reason) as your input is essentially always at least a frame behind what is going on on screen.

Not sure how it works in opengl, but I recall triple buffering was to be the cure for all issues in d3d land, but as described in the post, it isn't.

For the time being it's something which has to be addressed in the game code itself by way of internally timing frames & such, if it's addressed at all :/
> For instance: assert_equal 2, @thing.method vs @thing.method.should == 2.

...what makes you think this is less confusing? Test::Unit is blindingly simple, your assertions are plain old functions that take plain old arguments. I can build new assertions through simple function definition.

Rspec, on the other hand, adds methods to everything to let you structure your code so it reads like English. The goal here is not to be less confusing, but to be easier to read. RSpec is a lot harder to learn, and writing custom matchers is a lot more work than gluing together assertions.

Seriously, watch somebody new trying to figure out RSpec ... it's a bit of an ugly sight. Their first experience with automatic predicate matchers typically is a true wtf moment.
lots of words, not a lot of evidence.

I know quite a few ops and abuse folks at godaddy who have root or enable, but this doesn't seem substantiated enough for me to even waste their time with.

The title is linkbait. There is no such official policy that we know of or that this bloggers knows of. This person is making a supposition, at best.
A further note: Also if you use an external monitoring service(e.g. Pingdom, Wormly, Exactstate) that performs DNS traversals for each check instead of relying on a recursive server, this likely explains any increase in false alarms.
Awesome Jay. Stoked to see this and let me know how it goes.
I've spent 20 hours this week trying to find an Air that isn't made by Apple, with the additional requirement of it having good Linux compatibility. I'm giving up and going with an Asus EeePC, I think.
I added a link in another comment to the response he received from Godaddy. Sorry it has fallen through the depths here.
in all seriousness, stop subsidizing it and let the market deal with it
They're not for you. They're for the huge majority of bozos, who, unlike you, are only at the conference because it's a junket and some free time away from work. Eye candy is a huge plus.
Questions about something do not necessarily indicate statements about that thing.
It shouldn't be confusing. It's the price.

Domains are a commodity, and $7.69 for a domain (after applying one of the widely-available coupons) is the lowest price in the industry. If someone registers many domains, this adds up quickly.

A few people mentioned this already, but if you whois his blog's domain you get his address.
Hasn't this been going on for about 12 months?

Android has been blocked for a long time in China, and everything came from some fork. Maybe this is a new fork?
Conference booths are to collect leads, in general. Not to 'close'. I'd expect the bottom of the barrel there - they only need to get your name/swipe your card, and then you get turned over to the top notch sales people.

Yea I agree, this is quite annoying.

I stopped reading on the first page where he showed a 'default' screenshot from each program and stated they were strikingly similar. Only to spend the next 3 paragraphs explaining how he customised the Windows version to achieve that similarity.

At the bottom of the first page he compares the number of places to click and comes up with a figure of 14 for iPhoto and 5 for Windows. Apparently it made sense to include all the navigation for iPhoto in the count but only include the menu bar for Windows.

It was clear which he preferred so no further reading was necessary.
I was following along until he said he loved the TrackPoint. No one who uses one of those can be taken seriously.

Let's speculate.

Let us say that we were to end all booth babe jobs tomorrow.

Result: 1000s of women lose a job that brings them some extra (and perhaps needed) cash. But we all get to feel better about ourselves. Except for the women, because they have one less source of income.

Alternative: we embrace the fact that we are sexual beings. Maybe sex appeal does not work on everyone, but it is a tried and true form of advertising. I do not think it is demeaning to women - I think it is empowering. What is demeaning is treating women like they should not have the choice to take these jobs.
I've used 1and1.com for years and they are almost always cheaper than godaddy.

Are you sure Apple even supports running Vista on a 2010 MacBook Pro? I've had a huge number of problems with Windows on an Apple computer, and I now think Apple computers are simply terrible at running Windows.
It's funny, the only use I see for this is IE testing, since everything else I can install the latest version of on my Mac, and the differences between versions are pretty small (and if you can support IE's lack of HTML5 functionality you can certainly do the same for FF3).

Still, solid UI and product, and will be handy for the quick IE spot-checks that I should be doing more of :).

It's the best Sushi in West London, but when the owner entered into a deal with some other stores to create a common brand to help increase awareness and sales someone must have reported it as closed.

It's the same staff, same menu, same decor, same everything... except the name.

As I use Google Places a fair bit I felt that others might not go because of the listing, so I've been trying to fix their listing without a great deal of luck so far.

At least this conversation reminded me to click "Not true" yet again. Perhaps today a Googler will read this and 're-open' them.

Ease of use with a Club Management Software   by Gloria Vandershane
The club membership management software was born to present the best aspects that users are able to use it with ease especially for the moderators, officers and administrators.
No major DNS provider would engage in a "Selective DNS Blackout" because of resource constraints - DNS is one of those protocols that is both embarrassingly parallel, as well as super efficient to serve. It's not unreasonable to see a well tuned, inexpensive (< $5K) DNS server provide on the order of 100,000 responses/second. And if you want to serve a million responses/second - just scale horizontally and add the resolvers to your VIP pool on your load balancer.

This article doesn't pass the common sense test. Not to say that GoDaddy isn't engaging in this selective DNS blackout policy, just that it's not because of a underinvestment in their infrastructure.
Most are mediocre because they simply don't give a crap about the craft of software. Training doesn't fix that. The software world moves fast and you have to love it, or have serious discipline, to keep up.
His shit's overcomplicated. The Roadrunner does next to nothing and prevails effortlessly. Who's more in touch with the Tao?

I grant you that the Coyote is lovable, though. For one thing he never seems to get angry.
Yeah, it gets a bit old.
While we're at provocative flamebait titles, how about:

- Vi vs. Emacs.
- Ruby vs. Python.
- GNU vs. BSD.
- Republican vs. Democrat.

There are some insightful differences that can be pointed out by comparing between the two, but that doesn't seem to be where this sort of 'story' is leading.

>I am certain that Apple’s designers do just as much thinking, research, prototyping, and testing as their counterparts in Redmond. But they don’t talk about that work. Instead, the results are described in press releases and promotional web pages with terms like “easier than ever” and “incredibly easy.” (last page of the article)

This shows that the author is not well acquainted at all with the developer resources Apple releases. The Apple HIG is a 400+ bible covering pretty much every question you could have when it comes to designing UIs for OS X, and the developer center is filled with WWDC videos, notes, etc.

You probably want to have Jay help you vet your idea before you pour enough into it to launch it.
Some years ago I had a brief consulting gig. I showed up in my standard t-shirt and jeans. There was another consultant there, whom I hadn't previously met, in a suit. When he sat down at the computer, I had to stifle an impulse to offer him assistance. Then I had to laugh at myself.

Since then I have tried to be more aware of my assumptions and less swayed by appearances, but I haven't always succeeded. Heh, I recall another incident where I roundly ignored an attractive woman at an entrepreneurship meeting, only to find she was a CEO and one of the panel speakers.
This article inspired me to go ahead and actually use a state machine for what I’ve been working on. I love the resulting clarity in my code. ❤
Smaart Friend Finder
How does Smaart- Friend- Finder work?
Smaart-Friend-Finder uses Android maps and GPS to locate its users.
On Smaart-Friend-Finder’s map you can see all online users: your friends and others. Friends are marked with green pins, and other app users with blue ones.
You can set your status to be visible to all, just friends or invisible but still to see other app users.
To every user you can send Ping, a free short message.
This all allow you to catch up with anybody you want to…
This app can be useful for you
• If you want to know where’s your friend who is late and doesn’t answering on the phone.
• If you travel a lot, friends from your town can see that you are gone, and friends from town which you are visiting can see that you came. With insight in your exact location they will easily catch up with you.
• If you are tired of wondering are your kids where they suppose to be.
• If you ever were bored because you didn’t know that your very good friend was in downtown as you last night.
• If you afraid to lose your friends on a concert, excursion…
• If you want to make new friends in your proximity or even worldwide ( put your visibility status to worldwide)
And in many more cases.

Well for one, Apple transitioned from ppc->intel REALLY well with Mach-o binaries and Rosetta.

Using a vm/jit isn't the only way to handle architecture changes. In addition it doesn't remove the need to handle kernel changes/etc... that the vm itself runs on. Nor does it mean that the vm and all of its underlying assumptions are valid on a new instruction set. It took java a fair amount of time to run fast on multiple architectures, I doubt .NET will fare any better.

When Windows actually manages to (again, it ran on alphas/mips/ppc and something else back in the 4.0 days) run on more than one platform I might partially buy into .NET being "portable" across windows releases and architectures. But I suspect a fair amount of things will have to change or move to new apis. Similar to Microsofts go it alone 64bit model in Windows, another architecture in the fray will force things into spaces they didn't originally expect.

Basically, I don't trust anything coming out of Microsoft until they deliver the goods. Apple has shown they can handle multiple platforms transparently, and without the need of a vm/jit. Which can help out things like battery life with caches/etc...

Chaos Theory vs. Clojure
There's a lot of UNIX tools which are user-unfriendly, simply because they were designed not to be chatty. You can't use nls to pump a list of files into another script, which then uses the list of files to do something else useful. Chatty scripts can't be chained together.

Yet, controlling chatty output is something that is already done, with -v (verbosity) levels.

I wonder how much more usable UNIX would be, if -v was on by default, and there was some easy way to disable it when chaining tools.

Some of us are deeply biased in favour of creativity. Isn't it possible that this creates a backlash? Especially when lots of new ideas are actually unproven. The best way to change things is incrementally in small steps. It is ego that makes us think that we can just skip steps.

I'd hardly call it a gossip column considering they break most major tech stories these days. The NYTimes used to be in that role, but now it's TechCrunch. Valid comparison.
Google +1 widgets don't "break out" of their iframes. They're not in iframes in the first place.

As the first SO response points out, the widget is JavaScript code that runs in the host page, so it can easily create and manipulate any kind of DOM element anywhere in that page. Of course there may be iframes among those elements, but the JS code isn't limited to that.
Mensa always struck me as just moronic. How intelligent is it to care about that? One of the funniest things I ever saw was when someone got hold of a "Mensa" bumper sticker and put it on his car upside down.

Anyway, good luck with the self-validation and back away from those awards.
Maybe the article has been changed but it indeed says that it most likely not about cost but about pushing a 'premium' dns service.
