At Telemetry[1] (disclaimer -- I work there), we have a feature called “virtual channels” that allows you to model a dashboard layout that can be then populated with independent sets of data using a simple REST API. This would allow you to design a dashboard and then provide each of your customers with a customized version that contains only the information relevant to their accounts.

You can embed our dashboards in a web page, or they can be viewed through a variety of methods (native iOS apps, mobile browser, big-screen TV, Chromecast, and so on).

My e-mail is in my profile if you want to drop me a note.

I'm working on improving technology used everyday in education through open source.

Specifically, right now I'm working with a brand new school to get their technology started, and in the process learning about what they're looking for in their software that's different from existing solutions.

Right now, the copy on the site is really confusing (new site coming out in a week) but here it is: http://opensourceschool.co
Hmm... Just nearest color in the CILAB colorspace? Or what?

Color is fascinating, I agree. Or rather the human perception thereof. Same with sound.
Yeah, much of Quora is not unlike celebrity gossip for techies. Of course the same applies to a lot of the upvoted content on HN.
We are using java. our crawlers are heavily threaded and we wanted somethi g that was both efficient and ran on app engine if needed.
Turn on the "standard" optimization -Os and we get the following, much more reasonable result

That's still 250% more instructions than the necessary "xor eax, eax; ret". I find it a bit disappointing that the compiler would miss this trivial optimisation opportunity, while at the same time doing subtle and often unwanted things with undefined behaviour. C was conceived as a "portable assembly language", and as much as the language lawyers, theoreticists, and compiler writers love to exercise their "undefined behaviour" rights and try to dissuade others from thinking of it that way, that's what people use it for and that's what they'll expect.

Rather, undefined behaviour should be interpreted as "do the obvious thing, the results may differ on different platforms, and turn off all optimisations exploiting it because it's either intentional or the programmer has made a mistake so the compiler should also generate obviously wrong code." A warning would be nice too. Instead of blind adherence to the standard, consider what behaviour programmers actually expect, and write compilers accordingly. One example of this is casting integers to pointers of various types, and using them to access hardware. Device drivers would be impossible to write if the compiler decided that such undefined behaviour meant it could remove the accesses completely (which is completely legal according to the standard.)

More examples: dereferencing a null pointer should generate code that accesses address 0. Signed integers should wrap around on overflow. Shifts should do whatever the shift instruction of the architecture does. Trying to access beyond the end of the array should try to access memory there. Division by zero will do what the machine instruction would do. Etc.
Sharing websites are the latest must-have for fashion retailers
So this project is likely to be VERY different than what most HNers are posting - largely because there isn't a MAJOR tech component.

I partnered with a friend of mine to launch a fitness workout series - https://10poundpledge.com - Basically, an in-home workout and nutrition guide to losing 10 pounds in 5 weeks with fitness coach Kamila McDonald.

It may sound cheesy, or even 'me-too-ish'....but we think we have done a few new things.

The way this came about is that she entered Miss Jamaica in 2009 when she was overweight and used it as a catalyst to lose her last 15 pounds. In total she lost like 60+ pounds from her peak to where she is now.

She started sharing her journey and her results on social media and people literally started begging her for a "DVD".

So after seeing the many informational type products launched and how well they do in terms of revenue, all of which are focused on some super niche (like Nathan Barry's iOS & Web Design books that have grossed hundreds of thousands so far), I figured we could do something similar with fitness.

Alas, after 2+ years (I know, I cringe when I think about the time too, but it was well worth it) we finally launched and the feedback has been awesome.

I have launched a few products on my own, and I have read many stories about successful products with actual customers - but this is the first time I have had my own.

The best feeling in the world is getting emails from customers, literally thanking us for giving them the opportunity to give us their money.

Never thought I would ever have that experience, and even though the journey is just starting (i.e. 4 weeks ago) I am pleased with what we have done so far.
So I guess if all languages are eventually converging on Lisp, are all Lisps eventually converging on sed? Is sed the bottom turtle or are there more?

I am modifying it now to be a little more like github's.

I had planned on removing the highlights too, its going to be modified to just affect the portion where the match occurred. Its mostly there as a hangover from when I was not actually highlighting the actual match and just the line.
Any idea on the name/reference?

This is business as usual at Source Interlink (formerly Primedia). In 2009 Primedia delisted and filed bankruptcy to absolve themselves of >1billion in debt. “This restructuring will materially reduce our interest expense and debt levels,” Source Interlink Chief Executive Officer Greg Mays, 2009

A colleague of mine was there first for their 2009 bankruptcy. Essentially, they delayed finalizing his commission structure and then simply stopped paying. When he left they owed him >50k. He, unfortunately, didn't bring the case in front of the labor board for fear of retribution.
Sounds good to me. An exposed API is a big boon, and the lack of one is one of the main reasons I started searchcode.

Sure, just email me at bboyte01@gmail.com and ill be happy to discuss. Mostly it comes down to not overcrowding the UI and running on minimal hardware.
OS version numbers are a pretty arbitrary metric. A more accurate comparison is complaining about software that doesn't run on Windows 7, considering Snow Leopard and Windows 7 were released the same year.
I imagine it is quite easy by way of a few calls here and there when you know just who to call. For both regulations and for factories. Its always easy when you know who to call.

Just sayin, do both, and perhaps emphasize both. I knew just who to call to get my parts built and imported, I had no idea who to call to get permission to actually sell them. The part you don't know is always the hard part. Me, I didn't even know what I didn't know. I still mostly feel like I don't.

I guess since I already knew a guy and he just hooked me up with a small run manufacturer, I thought that it was that easy for everyone.
Considering how absolutely terrible the native client is for Spotify I'm assuming a terminal client would just run rm -rf / or some other joyful error. I wouldn't trust anyone at the Spotify team to code...well really any user interface, GUI or otherwise.
The Buffer Culture (2013)
So if we had evidence that a machine was more effective or made better decisions (or had better all-cause mortality evidence) than a human clinician, you would choose the human clinician in all cases?

How is this any different than comparing Drug A to Drug B? You should choose the one that's more effective (and/or cheaper), why should emotion or the human-touch get into it?

Having said that, if you're paying the bill yourself, go nuts, but I'm in an environment where the public foots most of these bills, and therefore has some say in my opinion.

You're the first person to bring "no return" into this conversation. I specifically advocated smaller return, and called out that no-return is counterproductive.

Which is to say you are arguing against the point neither me nor lifeisstillgood were making, the point you made up yourself.
If they are successful, they could lose 20%-40% equity in the business in their first round or two. If it becomes a 100M business that's 20M-40M. For a few million dollars. it's really expensive money, but doesn't necessarily make it a bad decision.
And why wouldn't the software be able to take the input from hardware, and then do some statistical analysis based on the last X grabs and feels it got, along with the diagnoses, interventions, and outcomes of those X grabs and feels?

Where X is a big number, I think the self-correcting software will do better than any human. Not perfectly, but better, which is enough to make me choose the machine.

A friend and I launched https://cronitor.io last week (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7917587). It's a simple cron/scheduled jobs monitoring and alerting tool.

We built it after trying to use a similar tool, but were unhappy with the types of alerts we could set.

It's still in its infancy, but we have a couple of paying customers and are trying to get feedback from as many people as we can. If anyone has a few minutes to look it over and offer feedback I'd greatly appreciate it!
VR Hackathon
The same sort of thing that's pseudo about pseudo random numbers...usually it is indistinguishable, sometimes in the case of Clojure one is reminded that it is probably wise to keep the underlying mechanics of Java's type system in mind if one wishes to maintain an accurate mental model. In particular, it is useful to keep in mind the way in which class and interface types structure their child types within a system of static typing.

This isn't a bad thing. Being built on Java provides tremendous utility. But the way in which Java makes lumps under the Clojure language layer which blankets it gives Clojure a different flavor than say Common Lisp...and note I said "different" not better or worse.

Anyway, that's the idea I was trying to capture with the term. I wasn't disparaging Clojure, just suggesting its relation to the JVM comes at the price against Haskell style greenfield implementation.

The toxic effects of alcohol are cumulative over time, so in the long run you might be at greater risk than binge drinkers. And if you're drinking 4 beers you 're not far from the threshold for liver disease [1] ( 1 liter of beer at 7% = 56 g of alcohol; the threshold is 50g).
Alcohol is also linked to high blood pressure; you should check yours.
Besides all that alcohol is also high in calories and you'll have to deal overweight issues too.

I have a friend like you, he drinks to unwind, and I don't consider him an alcoholic, I'm just sad that in ten years he 'll be in bad shape.

http://github.com/NebulousLabs/mkvsynth

Non-linear script-controlled video editor for Linux; basically Avisynth reimagined for the 2010s. Our scripting system in particular is a massive upgrade from Avisynth's bloated and ugly language.

Development has slowed a bit due to my involvement in a startup venture, but the only thing missing at this point is a decent standard library of filters. If anyone (esp. in the encoding community) is interested in helping out or taking over the project, please get in touch or open a pull request. We think this is a program that the encoding community would really benefit from.
I know it's hard because I'm actually an iOS user who happens to own a Nexus 5. I only use the Nexus 5 for testing. About once a month I pull it out to show someone the re-focus feature. It almost always takes me several minutes to figure out where it is. Finding the camera app is easy. Figuring out how to get to that feature is hard.
You might be able to use the filters from libavfilter
Not the lack of nodes, but the lack of exit nodes. It doesn't look like OnionShare requires/uses any exit nodes.
I think this would only work with a new "advance" permissions sub-system. Introducing a new permissions sub-system has three benefits; 1) old apps will continue to work 2) the old system can be deprecated at some point in time giving developers ample time to upgrade their apps 3) new apps can start to use the new system creating more trust between the developer and the user.

Except that Apple has put out 3 major updates since then, and 2 of them are free. Version numbers are a valid metric, even Debian doesn't support 3 versions back. For Apple systems, it's pretty clear that folks more than a version back are signing up for rough waters, which I suspect is a large reason that they dropped the price tag from OS upgrades in the first place.

This is essentially a Series A, so why call it a "second seed round"? Feels questionable to me.
In web development there is this notion of Progressive Enhancement [1]. It basically means that if certain functionality is not available you either disable the features that make use of it or you implement an alternative means of making the functionality work.

I understand that permissions are a little bit different but I believe that a similar approach would work with permissions as well assuming that Android would supply a new advanced permissions sub system. With this, if an app isn't granted a specific permission it can either disable the feature (maybe making clear to the user that this is the case) or implement some other alternative functionality.

E.g. an app hasn't been given the permission to read a user's current geo-location. In that scenario the app could ask the user to manually enter a location (e.g. by selecting a position on a map).

Within the current permissions system you could only doing with mocking, as you stated, which I personally find a bit of a hack and probably very confusion to the user.

SmartValet also provides a dashboard for the valet parking location with awesome reports and real-time location information.

Rather than decide which questions are the most important themselves, I wonder what results they could have gotten from running simulations with various weights on various parameters and question responses to try to come up with a correct diagnosis. At the very least the doctor's approach turns out to be best and they are already using that. Maybe the Monte Carlo type decision tree would be better though.
It was raised with convertible debt, so no valuation was given. I think that makes it a seed round instead of a Series A.

I don't agree no one would care. It seems like you're basically saying no one cares if you don't get caught. That's true for anything from murder to theft to NSA spying.

As for advertising trying to manipulate you you know it's an ad and there seem to be regulations for making that clear. For example things that look like articles in magazines but are actually ads are marked as "Special Advertising Section". Similarly ads for political candidates have to be marked "Paid for by XYZ". etc.

We don't tolerate deception in those areas why would we tolerate it from FB?
good point - that feature will be rolled out within a few weeks and we'll have stats and more detailed info!

Completely different definitions of concurrency. For Clojure what ships in the box as concurrency is multi-thread, single process concurrency(aka built around shared memory). Erlang devs knew that would never scale beyond a single box so they didn't bother going after it. They built single-thread, multi-process concurrency as the core of their concurrency model(share nothing). This means by default Erlang concurrency primitives work beyond a single node, Clojure's don't.

This is more of a general comment, and not by any means specific advice to anyone:
"Binge" drinking may give enough time between consumption episodes to allow the liver to heal, avoiding fatty liver diseases and cirrhosis, while daily heavy drinking may not, though this does take a long period of time to start.
Given that this is from 2002, it probably isn't a great platform to use. It probably wouldn't support VBOs, which are required to get decent performance out of modern graphics cards. The modern day equivalent would probably be GLES.
"CS can’t even be expected to cover the principles of systems you’ll encounter in the next 20 years, much less your lifetime."

The theoretical parts of computer science - computational complexity, parsing with context free grammars, etc. - are not likely to go stale any time soon. (I'd forgive a physics major for being ignorant of these, but not not one who writes an article claiming to know something about CS.)

Even the fundamental design of operating systems hasn't changed much in decades: Unix, which some of the most popular operating systems today (Linux, OS X, etc.) are based on, has been around since the 1970s (probably long before the author of this article was born). A process is still a process, virtual memory is still virtual memory, a device driver is still a device driver, and semaphores, which Dijkstra invented in the 1960s, are still used today.

Relational databases have also existed since the 1970s, and most of the computer languages we use today were invented before the turn of the century. So I don't think there's much danger in everything we know about CS today being useless in 20 years. (I got a CS degree over 30 years ago, so I have some perspective on this.)
