Ask HN: How do you manage side projects?
I'm trying to find the right balance between development efforts for work and my own personal side projects.I was also inspired by John Resig's blog about coding everyday. I feel if I had a more structured approach to going about side projects this would be easier to accomplish.

How do you go about planning and managing side projects and what tools do you use to maintain consistent development for side projects.

Any blogs or links to tools etc would be helpful.

I talked about this phenomenon recently on This Week in Google with Leo Laporte and Gina Trapani: http://twit.tv/show/this-week-in-google/248 Skip to 4:15 in to listen to the discussion.

Note that there are two different things to keep in mind when someone writes in and says "Hey, can you remove this link from your site?"

Situation #1 is by far the most common. If a site gets dinged for linkspam and works to clean up their links, a lot of them send out a bunch of link removal requests on their own prerogative.

Situation #2 is when Google actually sends a notice to a site for spamming links and gives a concrete link that we believe is part of the problem. For example, we might say "we believe site-a.com has a problem with spam or inorganic links. An example link is site-b.com/spammy-link.html."

The vast majority of the link removal requests that a typical site gets are for the first type, where a site got tagged for spamming links and now it's trying hard to clean up any links that could be considered spammy.

If you read the original post closely, it's clear that this is a site asking for a link to be removed--the quoted email isn't from Google.

Hmm, I tried Synthesia but found it unworkable. I have some basic skills at sight-reading and can play a bit by reading intervals. I found that this didn't work in Synthesia at all, and that I totally struggle to hit notes reliably. Combine this with the sheet music display in Synthesia being crap, and it got frustrating pretty quickly.

So I'm back to simply playing from sheet music. Feedback isn't a problem - you can hear when music sounds like shit pretty easily, and Synthesia isn't going to correct your technique mistakes anyway.

Comparing it to something like Rocksmith, I think I'm missing the display of where your hand should be anchored.
I've been a member at UB since they first opened their doors. Good form is absolutely their number one concern, and they do a great job of taking all the best parts of CF while not drinking the Kool-Aid. (I've known the coaches themselves to poke fun at HQ's more grandiose claims about CF from time to time.) They also apply more of a strength emphasis to their programming, which I think is far more helpful than the "hero WOD", 30-minute burnout workouts that tend to show up in more orthodox CF.

The author's contention that her complaints apply to "EVERY SINGLE GYM THAT FOLLOWS CROSSFIT" is just uninformed over-generalization, made less convincing by being written in bold all-caps.

Agreed 100%. It's also another reason why I like logging caloric intake... it's also good at preventing yourself from undereating.

It is a bit hard though, when you look at your goals and see that it'll take you 50 weeks to get to your goal weight at your current rate.

But then you realize: even when you hit your goal weight, you're not done, so there should be no hurry to get there. Keeping track of what I eat is a lifestyle for me now, not just a diet.
> Google considers his links low quality because they are.

So what? Why should I have to care that Jeremy Palmer (or any other person) is linking to my site?

The point of the article is that webmasters are going around trying to get links to their sites removed because it might get them penalised by Google. That is not natural or desirable behaviour. Site owners shouldn't have to care about that. Many have resorted to adding 'nofollow' to all of their own outbound links for fear of being punished by Google for linking to 'spammy' sites and appearing to be part of a paid/circular links scheme.

It all sounds very broken to me.

Note: I have no interest in SEO whatsoever, and I only have a single low traffic web site.
He might have low quality links, but his points are still valid. it's not our perogative to link the way Google us to. We should link however we want, and it is up to Google to figure which is link is good, and which are bad.
I don't think it's fair to assert a confirmation bias.

The first quote: That is probably a factually true quote. He did not say, "Therefore, more people's lives are ruined by physics than drugs."

The second quote is also probably factually true, and jives with my experience in graduate school. Of course, many of the foreigners are also weak, but he leaves that out.
Depends on your definitions of "introductory" and "mathematically sophisticated reader". In the university I attended, the first physics course (Mechanics & Optics) introduced the concept of Lagrangian fairly early.
... So no, you can't.
I got a PhD in physics, in 1993. Everything written in Katz's article was widely known to grad students when I was in school. Through a bit of planning and probably a lot of luck, I went to industry after finishing my degree. (Friend of a friend owned a tech business).

One "fact" that is apparent by omission in Katz's article rings true today as well: The complete lack of any consideration of industry employment by a physics professor advising grad students. When I told my advisor that I was likely headed towards industry, he gave me his best wishes, but admitted that he had nothing to offer me in the way of guidance towards such a career.

There's an amusing aspect of Von Munchausen By Proxy Syndrome in a PhD thesis: You cause the problems that you subsequently solve. I chose a problem, and steered it in a direction that required solution via extensive work in electronics and programming, which then became the basis of my resume.

The irony is that those of us who swore up and down that we were in it for the love of science and not money, are now the ones who you must compete with in the job market.

As an aside, I observed that a lot of people went into fields like physics to escape the eventuality of confronting the job market, and may not have been any better off in a supposedly more lucrative field.

If you've got bad links, just disavow them. Wikipedia has to nofollow links because anybody in the world can add a spammy link to an article. NYT nofollows links because they're old media, and don't understand the web.
Jeremy: Sing it sister! But do you know what I like even less than occasionally not seeing eye-to-eye with Webmaster Tools? Link farming.

While I'm not sure I understand your objection to nofollows as a compromise, have you any alternative methods in mind to improve the web without "breaking" the internet?
Justice? The people who were afraid of Google's reaction where the ones he linked to, not Jeremy Palmer himself. Even if he is a spammer, how is this justice?
From my understanding Wikipedia adds nofollow to stop incentivising people from constantly trying to sneak links into Wikipedia to boost SEO.

Any ranking system that gave any value to links would suffer this problem.

nofollow is a necessary evil if you allow untrusted sources to publish content on your site that contains links. It's a way of saying "I don't vouch for these links in the same way I vouch for other links on my site".

Sounds pretty reasonable to me.

I'm guessing you're being deliberately obtuse here. You were completely free to do with your work as you please, and you "pleased" to sell your work to a company in exchange for some consideration. If you don't want IP transfer, or first-refusal fixed price patent transfer, then don't sign that employment contract. I had them negotiated out of my last agreement, and I'm free to spend my personal time creating whatever I want, knowing the rights to it will be owned entirely by me.
I own http://ihackernews.com which reformats HackerNews for mobile phones.

I had a DMCA takedown notice sent to me on behalf of a website owner who didn't want me linking to their site. My hosting provider gave me 24 hours to remove the link or else they'd cancel my account.

The owner of the link claimed that their Google rankings were dropping because my site, iHackernews, linked to their site. With this, they were able to force me to remove it via a DMCA takedown notice.
I think I misunderstood the question. No, it can't start a route offline, but it can route you through it as you go.
Demand for faculty positions is pretty stable. Demand for programmers much less so.
The letter from the company asking to remove the links reveal they used a shady SEO company to generate artificial inbound links. Not a surprise that Google got some false positives -- particularly coming from a SEO blog.

Stephan Guyenet has written extensively on the issues with the insulin hypothesis: http://wholehealthsource.blogspot.com/2012/01/insulin-and-ob...

He has also written about how low carb diets work by reducing the variety and the reward factor of the diet (http://wholehealthsource.blogspot.com/2011/08/carbohydrate-h...)

some other counterarguments are:
1. Protein digestion also raises insulin, so why doesn't a high protein diet result in weight gain?
2. There are plenty of cultures around the world whose diet is primarily starch based (eg. Kitavans). Why isn't obesity prevalent in these cultures (http://wholehealthsource.blogspot.com/2008/08/kitavans-wisdo...).
3. More recently, someone lost weight while eating only potatoes for 60 days (http://wholehealthsource.blogspot.com/2012/12/the-potato-die...). It'd be interesting to see the effects of just eating nuts (high fat, low carb) for 60 days.

tldr: it's not insulin that causes us to eat more than we need, it's the high reward factor and low satiety of the diet. A simple diet comprised of foods with low reward factor and high satiety makes it very easy to stay within the caloric budget.
Good point. Maybe Jeremy can get a new gig doing reverse SEO. On peoples competitors. Apparently he already has the cred.

Allocate a /64 to any machine that runs VMs or containers. Then I tend to just run radvd which will broadcast the prefix so that hosts can auto assign; for virtual hosts letting them auto assign based on mac address is usually fine, as the mac address is random or you assign explicitly (explicit is often easiest). Its fairly simple, just get ipv6 and start using it...

"This, and much more, she accepted - for after all living did mean accepting
the loss of one joy after another, not even joys in her case - mere
possibilities of improvement. She thought of the endless waves of pain
that for some reason or other she and her husband had to endure; of the
invisible giants hurting her boy in some unimaginable fashion; of the
incalculable amount of tenderness contained in the world; of the fate of
this tenderness, which is either crushed, or wasted, or transformed into
madness; of neglected children humming to themselves in unswept corners;
of beautiful weeds that cannot hide from the farmer and helplessly have to
watch the shadow of his simian stoop leave mangled flowers in its wake, as
the monstrous darkness approaches."

> If you read the original post closely, it's clear that this is a site asking for a link to be removed--the quoted email isn't from Google.

Did you read the article? The reason that site is asking for the links to be taken down is that they believe (apparently based on feedback from the Webmaster Tools) that it will please the Google Gods.

Spammy links and irrational fear of spammy links are both unnatural linking behaviors that result when sites are more concerned with pleasing search engine algorithms than with pleasing human users. That's what the article is talking about.
Anvil is a great tool for making sites accessible on the local machine and local network, but it does nothing to make your sites accessible from the Internet, especially if you're behind a NAT or a dynamic IP.

Its a concern, definitely. Every new weapon eventually falls into enemy hands.

Ultimately we'll have drones that drug soldiers and non-combatants rather than kill them. And that disable infrastructure rather than destroy it.

And we'll have drones that do battle with drones, and even search out and destroy drones, or follow them home.

How To Run WordPress on a DigitalOcean 512MB VPS
Yes, but that's not a very useful observation. I think most developers understand that there is a process to transform source code into executable format. The distinction between interpreted and compiled languages, as commonly understood, is precisely about when that happens. There is a "compilation" step in python, but it happens when the code is executed, and therefore there is not a distinct "compile time" step during which a programmer has an opportunity to detect errors and prevent them from occurring at runtime. In any case, we're slicing hairs here, so in defense of my position I'll simply note that if your definition is sufficient, then there is no need to distinguish between interpreted and compiled languages at all.

Maybe he's just really powerful?
The artificial scarcity is the point.

The fundamental problem is that, as you noted, IP is free to copy. It is not free to create, and some arrangement must be made to pay for creation.

The approach of current IP law is to artificially imbue IP with attributes that make copies rivalrous and excludable, so that the creator can sell them on the free market. The free market will decide which IP should be produced and which should not, and the creation costs are paid by the people that use the IP.

Advantages of this approach: costs paid by users--if I don't read your novel, I don't pay for your novel; free market controls production decisions.

Disadvantage of this approach: price to users is higher than the "economically correct" price.

There are ways to deal with IP that do not involve artificial scarcity. One alternative approach, which was popular a long time ago, is the private patronage approach. Artists find a rich person to pay them to create. I'm not sure there are enough rich patrons to make this work at the scale consumers like to consume art today, and I don't think we'd have the artistic diversity we now have under a private patronage system.

Another approach is the begging approach.

Probably the best alternative to the current approach is the public goods approach. Treat artistic works like we treat public parks. Anyone could freely copy and share, and the creation would be funded by the government out of tax revenue.

The main problems with this approach are (1) determining the budget for art funding, and (2) deciding which artists get funded and by how much. The budget can be dealt with by tying it to a tax on something that correlates well with public consumption of art. Probably the best way to deal with deciding which artists get funded is to track consumer use, similar to the way we now do in order to determine royalties, and base funding on that.
Matt, this does not address whatsoever the point being brought up. And in case you missed it, I will try to cite it as clearly as possible here:

This is a case where google wants people to mold the internet according to what their current incarnation of their algorithm says the way it should be.

Rather than google trying to mold its algorithm to understand the internet, natural links vs. spams, and their respective authority and value.

Google here is saying that all links from this site are suspect, even when the link in question is 100% valid, quality and relevant.

Instead of going back to the drawing board and trying to fix the algorithm, google has discovered that since they are so big now, it is easier to play the "benevolent" dictator and dictate to the whole internet, how and what they should be doing.

And to mete out knuckle raps when they get out of line.

Do you see the point now?

The model (google's algo) should fit reality. Rather than forcing reality to fit the model.

I believe this is what the author is trying to communicate by saying "google is breaking the internet" - what he means is that the internet is becoming a 'google' version of itself, rather than what it would naturally be.

> Site owners and publishers are now afraid to link to each other because they don’t know how Google might respond to that link. For example, Wikipedia and the New York Times have added the “nofollow" attribute to most of the links outside of their editorial control.

I'm a little confused why he cares about nofollow links--if Google doesn't "own" the internet, what does nofollow matter? It's certainly better than not having a link at all.

Furthermore, the "credit" he so desperately wants publishers to receive is only a thing because of Google Page Rank in the first place.
Situation #1 happens fairly regularly - do you have/can you do a video that can be sent to the company asking for links to be removed which clearly explains what is happening? We have had clients such as a small bathroom fitting company where the company that made the showers that they fit demanded that our client remove all links to them. There was a degree of bad feeling, as our client fit a lot of showers from that company - the links were because they genuinely were endorsing them.

A video from Google would be useful to help explain what is happening here for all parties involved.
No I am not "obtuse".

I guess, you are.

When you still find an employer, that makes a contract like that, call yourself lucky. In my country, it is a law -- and you can't cancel out laws in my country in contracts.

Not everybody is so lucky, that he has enough money or finds fitting freelancer work.

Ask the music people. They (oftentimes) can't sell their music without having contracts with big companies -- and they have to sell out all their rights.

But it seems that you just view the world from your standpoint -- fading out any negatives -- and everybody that has different experiences as you do, is just stupid or "obtuse" in your view. With such an attitude on your side, a discussion makes little to no sense.
Why didn't you challenge the takedown notice as being fraudulent? As far as I know, DMCA does not prohibit linking to web pages; it's only about hosting someone else's copyrighted content on your site (or maybe posting links to pirated content).
People use nofollow because they believe (rightly or wrongly, none of us know for sure since it's a secret) that if you link to a site that later turns out to be a link farm you can be punished for it because it appears to Google that you are part of the paid links scheme. 'Turns out' meaning either it was a link farm all along and you didn't notice, or didn't think it mattered, or because the site got bought/hacked and now is just a link farm. (I'm using 'link farm' in the broadest possible sense here since I'm not familiar with all the various ways a site can be deemed to be engaging in paid links and I believe there are quite a few and it's intentionally vague).

Even if Google isn't penalising you for that today, they may well tomorrow. So using nofollow seems like quite a rational thing to do for any individual site as there isn't any downside as far as I know, only potential benefits.

Additionally, manually disavowing links hardly seems like a scalable solution. As somebody with a small website that I spend very little time maintaining, I don't want to have to regularly be checking some Google console for 'bad links'that I have to manually disavow to prevent getting delisted.

Not a brush-off.
No, not quite. It depends on if the library is pure python. If it is, then adding support for pip install is possible, but not implemented. If it's not pure python, it is a lot harder -- it has to be statically linked into the PNaCl executable, which sometimes requires a bit of patching the code. For example, to get pandas in, I had to modify how it included np_datetime, and to get HDF5 in I had to pre-generate how it managed endianness.

That being said, I've been working on making it easier for pure python importing, and one fun thing is that you can actually mount an HTTP/CORS-accessible endpoint as a file system and import that. I have done this with a pastebin; I turned on CORS, mounted it inside the NaCl kernel, and executed pastes.
