This is one of the reasons I've always thought that each project should have a minimal developer documentation that should include the project's scope, how it's structured, what are its main components and how they are connected etc. This would help a lot a future developer to faster start working on the actual project and reduce the initial time spent on figuring what is all about.
Thank you, this is invaluable.

BTW, no "secret sauce", just lack of willingness to submit the question in my real name at this point in the game for several reasons (current employment status, etc).
You know, you're not alone in thinking along these lines, but, if you would have just put a wee bit more effort into your wording, you could have made a good point out of it. Too bad you kept it even way below average Facebook post quality.

Oh and seeing how I'm actually responding now anyway, there's one more thing: use of the word "Hippie" does not actually qualify as name calling, you do know that, right? I do hope so; you see, it is mostly used in the cartoon Southpark, by a kid who is both the biggest bully of them all, and the most pathetic one as well. The ancipitality is really obvious, so I'm curious: was the satirical context so lost on you that you decided to copy this cartoon character's behaviour verbatim instead? Because in that case I think you could actually gain one or two social skills from Facebook! Chop chop, be a good lad now and give 'er a try, eh?

Nice! The interface looks very nicely done. I like that you thought about syncing too. Except personally I don't like storing things on Dropbox but I guess it's just metadata too.

I haven't heard of vault, so I looked into it. It looks like it uses CryptoJS with 8 iterations on PBKDF2.

I wrote hash0[1], which is the same sort of master password + salt + site but syncs encrypted metadata with server of your choice.

I found that while working on hash0, that SJCL's[2] PBKDF2 is faster than CryptoJS's implementation, which means I can perform more iterations faster and get the same result. I switched from CryptoJS to SJCL, and have hash0 do 100,000 iterations instead of vault's 8.

IIRC, SEC is not very kind to such arrangements.
JavaScript – The Collection of Parts
I have tried the code posted at the end of the article and it gives wildly incorrect results for input values in range of [ 0.5 , 1.5 ). Also for output, starting with multiplies of 4, values suddenly diverge and then start to converge towards correct value until the next multiple.

Did I forget to do something with the result or is there a bug?
Just to echo the others: get out.

But there's more to it than that.

De-brief yourself. What did you learn? One thing you may come up with: your health is more important than any job. Another suggestion: it seems that you may have taken on more than anyone expected you to take on, including yourself. You might want to ask your boss' opinion on this. They may be surprised at how much you've been doing. Perhaps not.

Take a break. Just phone in sick: you are sick. Being sick doesn't mean you have to stay in bed eating pills. Get outside, go for a walk, blow the cobwebs away, get some exercise perhaps, just step away from computers and the internet. For the first day don't even think about work. Then on day 2 try imagining what you'd say to someone else who's in your situation. Things might become clear.

Good luck!
WPide, a WordPress IDE in the Cloud
You can turn everything into a business as long as you have a reasonable business plan in place and know that users are willing to pay for some extra features or service.

Story time:
2 years ago I started to learn frontend web development from various online courses. I had zero technical background and no intention to make money. Within few months I learned enough to create my first WordPress theme. It was terrible but it worked . I made few more themes and never did anything with them. I made like 6 themes and just deleted theme few months down the road. Then I decided to submit one theme on WordPress.org just to see if it gets approved. Themes goes through review and someone would evaluate my code and that's what I was after. Long story short my themes now have been downloaded over 1,000,000 times and I have turned it into 6 figure a year business.

While I haven't sold a single theme yet, apparently you can recommend hosting and premium plugins that goes along with your themes and make a decent income.

Ask HN: Best way to bring user from physical prompt (qr code?) to mobile site?
Hey, I was hoping some bright spark could help me figure out an MVP conundrum I'm facing. Got some good feedback on reddit so thought I'd try here.

The core of the problem is this: How do I get a user to a website with an offline prompt without having them type into the address bar?
To explain: I'm testing an idea that gives users more information about a product they see in store. I need some way to allow them to scan the item and go to my mobile site. In the real product this would be done in-app with a qr code scanner, but for the MVP test it just needs to get the user to a site in as frictionless a manner possible after prompting them via the packaging/a poster. Is qr a good option?
I'm thinking just using a shortened url and prompting the user to type that in. Is that too much hassle for a customer in a store? Any other hacks around this (can be not scalable, it's just for a small pilot of 3 stores).

More info about the idea: Customers in high end super-markets don't get enough info about the food on display. The assumptions I'm testing are 1. that the info (about traceability) is something they want to know about, and 2. they are willing to go to some small effort to peruse this info on their phones.
For the MVP the only constraints are that we can track the number of individual users that scan a product. Hopefully including some way to get them to subscribe to our mailing list.
I've been thinking about attaching a phone to the display in store so the user can use that to scan the package, as this would sidestep the need for an app on their phone. Then ask them to email/text the link to themselves and open it on their phones. Crazy?
It would have been a lot easier to change their economic model (which I support to a degree) at the start of the crisis, offer them 50 billion or whatever the original number they needed in return for sensible reforms.

Instead they forced Greece into following some neoliberal fairytale where sharp cuts to government spending were supposed to magically provide instant prosperity because it showed confidence.

This was obviously stupid at the time and even the IMF admits it in retrospect, so why are the Greeks required to pay the price for this disastrous intervention?

If an obese person has an operation forced on them by a crackpot doctor that only makes things worse, where does the liability lie?

If it then turns out that the doctor owns the fast food store that was profiting from selling cheap food to the patient it gets murkier still.
We've been using Masonry (https://github.com/SnapKit/Masonry), the predecessor to SnapKit, on a pretty large Objective-C project for the last year and a half. We do have some constraints in XIBs but lots in code, too. It's been great and I'd absolutely, without hesitation, recommend it to anyone.
I think this is the sign of a leader who knows his bounds - the Greek parliament were elected on a campaign to reduce austerity measures. For them to now go ahead and impose further measures would be a clear violation of the trust the electorate has placed in them.

I wish more political leaders would recognise that they're answerable to the electorate, and put more controversial laws to a public vote instead of just imposing their will.
As I wrote in another comment, many health food stores carry 'trace mineral drops', which are (de-salted) concentrate from the Great Salt Lake. It contains trace amounts of lithium (as well as other 'trace' minerals like magnesium, chloride and sulfate). I know of at least a few cases where they have been prescribed for (and cured) involuntary spasms when trying to sleep after a hard exercise (horse riding), the effect in this case is from the magnesium.

You can also buy straight up lithium tablets which contain a slightly higher dose (5mg) than the recommended dosage of the drops (2-3mg).

The NYT article referenced in the OP and in other comments references 'evidence' in the form of studies of communities with naturally occuring high-lithium drinking water (lower rates of violence in general).
Eurozone was formed by strong economical powers to bring economic stability in their countries and it's like a club of rich friends.

Why would Germany leave the Eurozone and devalue their own money? Why would UK and its other rich friends let the euro and thus their money be devalued.

And even if Germany leave the Eurozone which is highly unlikely, there are still many strong economic powers in Eurozone, so the Euro wouldn't devalue enough to support weaker economies.

This situation is much more complex due to continuous delay by European powers to discuss this matter.
RailsLTS (https://railslts.com/) is probably the product you're referring to in (2).
He wasn't replying to you, but to a post that got [deleted]. This is a very shitty and confusing part of HN layout to be honest.
Thanks to your list I realized there is one in a building I walk by almost every week. Guess I'll be riding a Paternoster soon :-)
I am still using Mitro and I really love it. I am pretty sure their company got acqui-hired by Twitter [0][1].

Sadly, the service might shut down before the end of 2015 because of time/money problems [3].

Also worth checking out is NSLayoutAnchor in iOS 9 and OS X 10.11. It looks like it might lessen the need for libraries like this.
Unfortunately, the Ello ecosystem seems more or less resist any non-artsy content like an immune system warding off a plague. They've quite thoroughly positioned themselves as an alternative to Tumblr photoblogs, and little else. The recommendations and suggested users are all weighted towards hipstery, partly because the algorithms all seem to be seeded off connections to the founders, themselves artists.

The end result is that everyone not interested in posting art photos inevitably seems to get bored and wander away.
Amateur move at best. Should the germans and the french follow suit with a referendum whether they should bail out greece again?

The government that acted like nagging teenagers doesn't want to grow up, and chooses to bail. It saddens me that i voted for them.

Truth be told, the EU is forced to look in the mirror this time: Despite all the rhetoric and despite most europeans liking the idea, the greeks do not become more like germans and the germans do not become more like spaniards.
This is the main problem. Greece can't get out of the problem without printing money, devaluing currency, that result in cheaper export and increasing revenue through increased export and getting out of the trouble.

Euro experiment is showing that Monetary union without Fiscal union doesn't work. How do you reconcile Germany's need to keep Euro strong and Greece's need to make Euro weaker? Some sort of transfer payments need to be made from Germany and other economically stronger countries to countries in weaker situations such as Greece or this monetary union without fiscal union experiment is going to fail.
They are looking for the easy way out. The greeks will predictably vote for euro and they 'll be called to resign, which they will. Bubble popped, new coalition government accepts bailout terms and reality resumes.
Slavery is non-consensual labor. Uber drivers aren't slaves, have you talked to any? I engage in conversation with Uber drivers almost every time, many of them are ex-Taxi drivers, and many of them like Uber far more. Here are some of the usual comments I am told:

1. Can work on my own schedule. "When I was a Taxi driver, I had to show up at the dispatcher to pick up a car on their schedule."
2. Driving someone else's car. "Sometimes I sit 2 hours waiting for a car to be returned to begin my shift, often it is dirty and I am required to clean it before taking it out."
3. Freedom to engage in a side business. "My wife makes jewelry, I display it on the back seat and sell it to tourists who are interested."
4. Higher pay. Yes, there are studies that try to debunk this by citing higher costs or higher variability, but the arguments are unpersuasive. They count the cost of a driver maintaining his Uber car, while treating the medallion company's maintenance as a benefit, but an UberX driver and a Taxi Cab driver who owns a personal vehicle both pay car maintenance costs, albeit there's more wear and tear on the UberX car. Likewise, while variability is higher in salary, so is freedom in work hours and Uber drivers consistently rate this as the most loved feature of being an Uber driver.

This isn't really about labor laws, this is about regulatory capture. The French government has created an artificial shortage of supply, assigned special rights to a Guild, which simultaneously jacks up prices and provides more inconvenience to the customer, while establishing a monopoly in which bad drivers with bad attitudes can't be contested.

It then lets this group which has performed regulatory capture, essentially engage in mass property damage, terror (smashing cars with people in them), actions which are inherently dangerous and could lead to people getting killed on the roads, all without arresting them, or making them criminally or civilly liable.

What will France do if the entire world moves to self-driving vehicles? Will they ban them to protect French Taxi cab drivers? Will you claim the Robots are Slaves? What would they do if public transport threatened Taxi Cab driver salaries if some new public transport system made cabs less needed?

The French government has allowed itself to be captured by a minority industry. This isn't about broad labor rights, it's about a small guild trying to protect its monopoly by holding the government / citizenry hostage with violent protests.

That is the right move. Also Germany should stop talking about fiscal results and demand political reforms. Clean corruption in the administration and good fiscal results will follow on their own.

And Germany should elect finally someone competent. Merkel is a joke.
I'm interested in the details of the variable scoping problems are. I'd have thought that perl's explicit declaration of lexicals with 'my' was better than "declare at first use" of javascript/python/ruby.

[There's a class of mistake where you typo a variable name which you can make in those languages which gets caught in a language where you have to declare variables.]
You would never know unless you started exploring. Stars have nothing to do with revenue - it's purely a function of how much value you can add to the enterprise. Basically, you have to demonstrate quantitatively that you can charge $X to help them save $Y where Y >> X.

Here's what I would suggest. Reach out to a few people from these organizations and ask them for their general views on your project and what their major pain points are. I'm sure they will be more than happy to talk to you about it if they're indeed already deriving great value from it. Once you have established a good rapport (i.e. warming up the lead), set-up a call with them to pitch your vision for the paid product. A call is crucial because email and text can only communicate so much - you can get a far better idea of their domain and problems through a quick 45 min call. Scheduling this should not be a major problem once you have established a good email channel previously.

If you can get about 8-10 people interested in exploring your paid offering you have something that's promising. After that you can think about scaling the business with self-service etc.
why merkel is a joke?
I never used Perl, but I use Ruby where people might have used Perl before. (Small one-off scripts or simple automation stuff)

People often attack the appearance and readability of Perl code ("write-only" code), but lot's of Ruby code I come across has the exact same problem, except that people seem to love adding 4 or 5 extra layers of abstraction on top of that.
Yeah, so looking at the GitHub Cabal's secret price list, 25,000 GH stars will put you at $102k / yr, so shoot for that.

Seriously though, the fact that you're asking about GitHub stars is... telling. There's plenty of popular repo's on GitHub that I'd refuse to pay any money to, but more to the point, GitHub is a terrible customer experience because it's not for selling software to people, thus the only thing 'GH stars' tells us is... the number of people that have starred a particular repo.

For a purely open-source project, look at OpenSSL. It's probably in production in a significant amount of the entire internet. But until Heartbleed came along and it came to light that the OpenSSL project was severely underfunded, it was limping along with little sponsorship.

Red Hat is probably the most famous open source business, but unfortunately, if you look at their practices, they're abiding by the letter of the GPL, but not entirely the spirit, which they've decided is necessary from a business perspective, so if you're looking to make a lifestyle business based on your open-source project, the question to you is: how comfortable would you be with a lifestyle business based on an entirely proprietary project?

Is this a pipe dream? Chances are, yeah. But do dreams come true? Sometimes :)

http://exercism.io supports Common Lisp, Scheme, Clojure, and Emacs Lisp, plus a ton of others, and runs through a neat little CLI app locally, so you can use your own editor (I've been doing Rust challenges in Emacs, frex.)

http://www.codewars.com/ also supports Clojure, and Haskell, which is not a Lisp but is FP.

Hacker Rank pretty much supports everything, but the reason for this is that it handles all the tests through stdio instead of a test suite, resulting in a lot of irritating boilerplate code.
What I miss on every HN app I tried is a focus on search.
Maybe I'm using HN differently than most people, but I usually look for discussions on topics I'm interested in, instead of reading the top posts on all topics.

For example: I'm an Android developer, so I often browse hacker news by searching for "Android" in topics and comments, to see if there are any interesting discussions.

A great app for my usecase would allow me to search and quickly repeat previous searches right from the startpage.

You could add widgets that jump directly into saved searches.
Ask HN: How to sell your software to colleges?
How can I make colleges spend money on an ERP system when they already have other systems that are not as good as our system or don't have the features we offer?

Colleges are always reluctant in spending money. Also, they normally believe in not fixing it, till it's broken.

I now regret choosing to bring up GH stars (was just grasping for some concrete indicator).

I don't know what the current state of research on this is, but I find it entirely plausible that rituals and social control existed before language.

I would think merged pull-request (aka community patches that doesn't suck) would be a better indicator on gh - at least for open source project. Fixed issues a close second.
That's exactly the depressing part I was talking about. It's a fantastic project, which is now open-source, but there doesn't seem to be anyone who would take over and support it longer term. Even though I believe there's a viable business there as well (As an end-user in a small company, we'd be happy to pay a monthly subscription for it, equivalent to or even higher than what we'd pay other solutions out there, e.g. lastpass).

It's fair to tell me "then why don't you contribute / do something instead of complaining?", but as much as I'd like to, it's got lots of moving parts and needs significant time and lots of different skills, or some form of backing to pay for those. Even if it can be turned into a solid business, it will still require resources to support - not just the technology, but marketing etc. So far, I haven't seen anybody picking this up, but I really hope someone will. It will be a great loss to see it die.
It might actually work better if a European makes soothing noises and a Japanese person makes soothing noises at a European in exchange, without either side knowing what the topic is.

The real solution is a united states of Europe. Some claim the whole point of the euro was to inevitably lead to this point, and hopefully the crisis would hit when the politics were favourable to this solution.

I think a couple of the arrangements put in place to bail out the French and German banks are basically a policy shift towards that.
What???

Your religion claims that the universe is here just for mankind's benefit? You really believe that?

This planet was here for millions of years before mankind came along, and hopefully will be here for millions afterwards.
What is actually happening here is that Tsipras is simply trying to save face. Attempting to get the Troika (EU, IMF, ECB) to bend in the negotiations was a suicide commando in the first place.

Now he realizes that his plan failed and is trying last minute to shift responsibility to the Greek public (i.e. "let them decide what the right path is"). In any outcome event (Greece leaving Eurozone or Greece accepting Troika terms) he would be able to point to the referendum and tell everyone that it wasn't "his fault".
Are there any other reasons why incest is considered bad?
A friend of mine grew up in a commune-like household. Several couples and sets of children in a large house pooling resources, sharing responsibilities, collectively caring for each other like a single family. The impression I got was this was a collective emotional and financial bond with a more traditional sexual coupling, but I see that as besides the point.

The question is, what regulatory framework would you impose here? How would you want this to work in terms of taxes, inheritance, divorce, etc. I think when you dig into it, the reality is it's hard enough to build a workable framework around two people forming and breaking these bonds, to make an 'n-way' coupling that actually functioned properly (from a legal and fair-taxes perspective) would probably be impossible.

To the extent that you want to tie in a 3rd (or more) people to a union with children that could be biologically descendant from any two of the set... these would have to be one-off contracts in the form of LLCs / partnerships holding the assets, and estate / inheritance plans with appointed god-parents, etc. I just don't see how the state could make a one-size-fits all framework for n-way couplings, but also I don't really see what's stopping a motivated group from making it work on their own.
And Germany has not seen its exports rise in cost over the last decade or so as they would have done if the Deutsche Mark still existed. Currency union cuts both ways.

UK: after the experience of Black Monday and the European Exchange Rate Mechanism, many people here were wary of joining the Euro.
