As always: That depends. ;-)

The most important question is: Can you make a sustainable business with you app and will you generate money from it?
If this is the case, you could either find an investor (which may be very, very hard at you current stage) or invest some of your savings on your own.

Then, how are you used to work currently? Do you prefer working with others or on your own?

Finding a co-founder is often a good choice for startups because you find like-minded people which (hopefully) share the motivation for the project with you. However, doing something together requires a lot of trust in each other and empathy. If you find yourself comfortable with another guy at your project, go for it, that's the best solution, in my opinion. If you disclose some more details about your idea, I am sure, HN could be a place to start searching.

If you find yourself uncomfortable with that and you're not willing to learn to program, go for oDesk or something similar as some other comments already suggested.

The medical example is called a differential diagnosis. Medical school teaches you to make this. Communicating only the highest-ranked one or two items, unless explaining why you're ordering tests that rule out lower-ranked but actionable diagnoses, is not difficult.

Writing something to pull out attachments from a set of Maildir directories isn't too difficult.

e.g. I wrote this quick hack recently https://gist.github.com/skx/ba07ba7fbb0788c6ba68

If you're looking for more robust/common software take a look at the "mpack" package of tools.

Syncing to dropbox is left as an exercise, but presumably you'd just configure your attachments to be saved into the magic folder, perhaps on a per-suffix basis. (e.g. ~/shared/attachments/jpg/foo.jpg)
The HN discussion was indeed a disheartening mix of skepticism and criticism:

This is exactly the problem Microsoft solved with OneDrive. You can choose what is kept only online and what is also offline. In windows at least its integration goes as far as keeping lower resolution versions of your photos offline for previewing purposes and seamlessly downloading the full-res when you try to open it in say Photoshop.

Unfortunately as nice as this sounds in practice its extremely slow (at least for us in Europe).

I am facing the same problem with hubiC which has a 10GB plan only and unless you have some crazy raid configuration on your desktop there is no way you can fill it up unless you use the web interface exclusively.
Thanks for the input ! Maybe I should try it with jobs, just for a test, and write an article about it. :)
I worry about people putting things like this on the Internet. Any experienced developer knows it's a joke and that there are better ways to validate e-mail addresses; but there are plenty of inexperienced -- copy-and-paste -- developers out there. A colleague of mine did something similar, for example: he didn't even know what a regular expression was and I could see, as it was a much simpler pattern than this one, that it would fall quite far from the mark.
This should probably be the linked article:

How is it misinformation? The human doctor would not tell us his diagnosis in terms of percentages, because we as humans have a hard time grasping probabilities intuitively. That doesn't mean that a probabilistic diagnosis would not be more accurate.

The doctors job is to provide me with as much information about the objective criteria of my physical condition as possible. However when it comes to making choices about my treatment, say in the case of accepting/rejecting an experimental drug with some potentially nasty side effects, it should be entirely my own value judgement on what to do with said information.

That's what he says, indeed. What he failed to provide, though, is proof.
I think it has more to do with age than to do with origin. When I was looking for a place in the UK after getting my first job and earning decent money I was straight up told by an agency that many landlords wouldn't even consider me because I was "too young to rent a house", even though I had the money for it. Age discrimination is perfectly legal everywhere(apart from job interviews maybe) - think car insurance - so it's very easily used as an excuse for everything. I also think that's wrong.
I think its highlighting the fact that most email regex validation is wrong. Email is a more complex specification than most people realise.

I don't even think you can parse it using a regular language(though most regexe engines go beyond this).
Thanks, you should tell EVERYONE you know.

In seriousness though, while we do try our best (not just in Germany, but eight other countries as well), the situation he describes is one that the internet doesn't do a good job of solving. Basically demand way outstrips supply in cities like Munich. As a result, if you have a good flat or house you want to rent out, really all you need to do is tell 5-10 people and via word of mouth you'll very quickly have more than enough high quality applicants. You really don't need online tools.

An interesting result is that we're now starting to see start-ups that reverse the model. In Köln/Düsseldorf there is https://salzundbrot.com (a Nestoria partner) who are free for owners/landlords, but charge applicants a small fee to make contact.
Will be interesting to see if it catches on.

The reality though is there is just way more demand than supply. Normally that would be solved by price rises, but the rate of rent increases is reguated by law.

All that said, while I have sympathy with Munich renters, I now live in central London, where the problem is at another order of magnitude. As I always say "London isn't expensive, the rest of the world is cheap".
Guess it would be worth mentioning how to spoof initial Received header for those who self-host their email and run Postfix as their MSA/MTA: https://www.void.gr/kargig/blog/2013/11/24/anonymize-headers...

This makes me sad for some reason. I'll never forget the sense of wonder I felt the first time I played vanilla WoW.

I found the world to be incredibly compelling and rich, and got really sucked in. The world felt vast, and I spent hours just wandering around and exploring. It was also my first MMO and the thought that I was playing with thousands of other players in real time was amazing.

Warranty
When you buy a new car, federal law requires that the manufacturer is to provide you with an express warranty. A term express warranty means a legally binding promise from the manufacturer that the car will work as it is supposed to and if it does not, the manufacturer has to replace or repair it.

But the audience does desperately want to be entertained. And while you could make a modest return on a modest investment some years ago, and iterate on larger budgets if you had a reasonable amount of skill and talent, that has become very much more difficult because the internet has disrupted things.

Good side, you can now make money on sites like Youtube, and the technical barriers to entry are low, so there is enormous upside potential. Bad side, that probably means short-form lowest-common-denominator stuff. Great if you are happy churning out episodes of Annoying Orange, a disaster if your goal is to make feature films. You end up with a 'superstar economy' where a small number of films make $$$$ and a much larger number make little or nothing. This was always the case to some extent but the internet has seriously exacerbated it.

I know what you mean.

I didn't particularly care about Titan (it was vaporware from the start IMO), but I've only felt what you're talking about twice since the release of WoW. The first time was in FlyFF - a god awful F2P/P2W korean MMO. It was the epitome of crap but it did let me explore which I feel is something not too present in MMOs nowadays. There is nothing quite like exploring high level zones as a low level, being somewhere you shouldn't be, a constant danger and a feeling of helplessness when you are spotted by a monster.

The second time was recently, in Wildstar. I've had to stop playing it for lack of time but I dearly miss it, it's the only MMO I actually liked since WoW.

Have a read of RFC 2822[1] section 3.4

In brief, the address specification may look like the simple "local" @ "domain", but those subparts can be non-regular (i.e., making them hard/impossible for a regular expression engine to parse) or contain a lot of exceptions (e.g., the domain could be google.com, or it could be 12.34.56.78, or localhost, or a number of other things).

Any language seems inconsistent and has hard to remember syntax for people who are new to it. Unlike most of other languages, you can learn Go in a weekend and get beyond the newbie problems. There was a great article lately about Go's syntax - http://robnapier.net/go-is-a-shop-built-jig

The crux of the matter is that there are inelegant parts to the language because they are usefully inelegant, and when you're actually writing software, useful is better than elegant.
This is so pointless. People have positive associations with handwritten letters because of the content that goes with it. If marketeers start using handwritten letters they will just ruin that association.

Cool post.

We want to buy something in Munich and indeed, even if you are prepared to spend a million or more, it is extremely hard to get an invitation to visit a place (Even if you are in the right age and your wife is an italian girl, like mine).

If I got an e-mail like this, I'd most likely go with the competitor.

> The FooCorps's of the world have spent a couple decades now in a the race to the bottom and it shows. I have no doubt you can get their product (or a whole raft of others) for a few bucks cheaper than us.

AKA. "Our competition suck and it shows."

> Our product, Acme, is different.

Of course.

> Look, FooCorp's customers are switching to Acme in droves because we're investing heavily in great customer service and innovation.

Yeah? I'd like to see data that supports it. This is one of the most common blatant lies in marketing (sure, it is true for some specific values of customers, switching and in droves) and I see no reason to trust it at face value; the sole inclusion of this sentence feels like evidence against company quality.

The same e-mail could be sent by FooCorp or any other competitor in that space. There's no Acme-product-specific information here, just universal marketing slogans.
I chuckled reading some of the comments from armchair scientists. This gives me immense hope. For a big part of my life my decisions have been based on other peoples' judgement. Oddly, I feel personally vindicated.
The problem with "languages for those who can" is that they get relegated to pet projects, because real teams need code that everyone can understand, not just the "rock stars".

I actually hope that Rust does not become that kind of a language. I think it has a lot going for it, but I do agree that it's a pretty dense language, and that will cause problems in uptake for real projects.

> Just small additions like the following would help a lot: "[The X seconds] spent in fsync [seen in diagram A] accounts for almost exactly the delay we were seeing [in diagram B]".

Exactly. I try to always point to the actual data when I'm telling my readers my conclusions.

"Calls to futex, epoll_wait and select are largely the same on both systems. The problem host does 1727 calls to fsync(), while the normal host does only 849 calls. The problem host spends 1.24% of its time in fsync(). The normal host only 0.48%. This makes fsync() our number 1 suspect."

This at least lets the reader refer back to the output and see corresponding entries.

Most of the e-mails sent by me now and in the past years at my work in HR, have been automated by me while retaining a good amount of "personalization" for most of the non-priority e-mail replies which helped me highly for saving time for my start-ups.

I once assisted getting a barge into a port. Technically it was a barge, because it didn't have its own engines, but it was an FPSO[0] and it was 310 metres long and 80 metres wide - you could fit three football fields in its footprint.

My job was to provide real-time live radar from the land-based VTS[1]. It had been decided that only relying on GPS was a risk, and that independent radar images would be necessary to confirm position, course, and speed. We were transmitting live radar from Port Control over a 19.2k baud VHS data link to my laptop on the barge. Using the radar data we re-calibrated and cross-checked the GPS positioning to make sure there was no drift, error, or distortion. There was some interesting math going on underneath.

Modern radars sample at 50 MHz, giving a 3m inter-sample distance. Getting that 50 MBytes/sec data down a 19.2k bits/sec channel was a challenge. There were some easy gains (inter-pulse dead-time, blanking) but we still needed a radar image the pilots and captains could rely on, especially coming in from open water.

There's a picture of it coming in to the river[2] and a video[3] of the vessel, having been fitted, leaving the river. When it came in it didn't have all the super-structure, and the highest point was the heliport, which is where I stood for much of the time.

An interesting job.

Pharmaceuticals: one product that's also costly to research and manufacture, and the firm that gets the magic compound first gets a couple of decades of monopoly. Plebs like us can't yet synthesize a copy of the medical product easily, so the pharmaceutical company has far fewer chokeholds to deal with to make sure no copies get out. Alas for media companies, copies are harder to manage.

As for not calling it "stealing", but "copyright infringement" instead ... no! "Copyright infringement" would be distributing the media (in whole, part, or integrated into other product) to others as if you had the rights to do so. That's not what consumers of illicitly downloaded materials are doing. They're "stealing".

Oh, then you'll love Go. It's nothing like python. At least, not like the python you've described above.

Go is actually quite different from python in a lot of ways. Most of the stuff you hate about python does not apply to Go in any way. You can't really make a DSL in Go - there's no operator overloading, no meta classes... no classes at all. The performance of Go is an order of magnitude faster than python and only a few times slower than C. Dependency management and deployment are trivial - Go compiles to a standalone binary with no dependencies (except sometimes libc depending on what you're using).

So... Go is nothing like Python. When people say it is, what they mean is, Go tries to make its syntax really obvious, and make life pleasant for experienced developers writing software in the language.
What should be noted, though, is that Rosetta code examples are usually not written for speed of execution, but instead in an educational manner and thus favor clearer code over faster code. At least that's how I wrote my contributions and I feel fits the aim of the project better.
