I think a "Show HN" or other separate submission would be a more appropriate place to promote your product.

At Cyanna, we believe education should be accessible to everyone, and that if you’ve got knowledge to share, nothing should stand in your way. So we work with educational institutions to help them launch, run, and market their schools — and make sure they’re compliant with government regulations along the way.

One of the things we offer is customized software solutions that make it easy for institutions to track and teach students, and for regulatory agencies to track institutions. Right now, we’re looking for a full time Ruby on Rails Developer to help build our next generation e-learning platform.

These are the skills we expect you to have:
Ruby
Rails
JavaScript
HTML
CSS (SASS)
jQuery (Backbone.js or Ember.js a plus)
SQL (PostgreSQL a plus)
Git
API development
Browser compatibility issues
Deployment methodologies (e.g. Capistrano)
Database/query optimization

Visual diff is very useful to me. I use Meld which works really well for now. But I would love to see a terminal based side-by-side diff view. Does tig have that?
Just thought I would join in this remanisathone...

I agree with what everyone else has been saying about the diversity and the excitement of the game (until they introduced Trammel).

For my part I specialised in thieving, hustling and buying and selling 'rares'.

The difference between rare items in UO and in games that followed it (e.g. WoW) is that these items were actually rare in the sense that there were a very limited number of them.

There were many different type of rares - the most prized ones were from very early bugs in the game which allowed you to pick up background scenery if you logged in just as the server was starting up - they had already fixed this bug by the time I started playing, but these objects were still floating around in peoples private collections!

My favourite scam (that I invented as far as I know) was to rename a book with the title 'a box of cigars' and then sell the book as a rare item.
Ask HN: What is your go to web framework for Real Time webapps?
Given the rise of real-time web apps, server sent events, notifications and single page apps and JS heavy web sites, and lack of real time capabilities of Django-like frameworks (not built-in) what is your go to framework when you need to build such web apps?

EDIT: Can you talk a little about your chosen framework? why do you choose it, how is it different from others, which feature of it do you like most? How is framework is trending?
What is a false/bad/useless comments?

If you comment to state an opinion different from mine I can estimate that your comment is false, bad and useless.
RH can get away with it because they still offer support for the RHEL 6.x line.

Debian ramming systemd into stable like they did on the other hand...
I thought about it - but I would have been disappointed with the synthetic voice myself, so didn't even try :)
I'd switch to sublime in a heart beat and pay twice what he wants now if it had a similar package manager to Atom.

That to me is the biggest draw.

I often try to pick sublime back up, but when I go to install packages I find I have to mess with too many configuration files and searching the third party package manager kind of sucks. It's faster though so I keep trying before getting frustrated and going back to the land of easy wins.
That's clever! Nice work btw, love the little DSL it becomes, very clear and readable!
I agree with your point. But as far as I know Franzen was one of his real life friends (in the New Yorker essay Franzen says he was given DFW's ashes to spread) and maybe has special insight into this particular situation.

Indiegogo Greek Bailout campaign
The parent commenter claimed they are not aware of much public activism, despite apparently being interested.

And yet a quarter of a million protested just 10 days ago; although it is difficult to find details in traditional news sources:
http://www.cityam.com/218417/end-austerity-now-protest-gathe...

Given this is happening, people are interested, and people don't know about it, don't you think this would be an ideal subject for the news to report on?
this seriously needs a vim mode
Codesign Gdb on Mac OS X Yosemite
Few thoughts.

1) It's "good enough". Sure it is slow. Sure it is kind of buggy. Sure it gets hacked a lot. But at the end of the day, it mostly works. Harder to disrupt something that mostly works.

2) Traction. It has 1000s of plugins and themes. To get big, someone else would need a lot of plugins and themes. But no one will make plugins and themes for someone that is not big.

3) ease of use. I know a lot of people that WP admin and make WP websites for a living. They are not technical in the programmer sense (although some can hack a little PHP). They don't really want to have a giant MVC architecture with DAOs and Angular and Node.js and blah blah blah. They just want to throw up a blog like website.
Can someone explain me why is everybody so obsessed about sublime not being open source? Being an open source software gives no guarantee that it wont be abandoned one day, and if there is something else better even not open source out there everybody (mostly) will forget about an inferior open source project and use the premium software with better features instead, it happened when sublime text was released and won our hearts, so I don't see how can it becoming open source stop a new premium and better product beat it just like it beat others before...
Pretty simple in PlayCanvas. It's a sphere with a camera in the centre. Texture is applied as an emmissive map on the material. Took me about 5 mins.

Certainly it's still far from being able to deceive a human into thinking synthesized speech of any speaker saying anything is real, but it has definitely and clearly capture a certain quality to each of those voices. Really cool project and I'm sure it portends even more awesome work in the area.
Logentries - https://logentries.com - Dublin, Ireland - ONSITE

Logentries is a real-time log management and analytics service targeting mostly the DevOps and IT market.

We are currently looking for DevOps, Software and QA engineers to work in a creative and challenging environment to get shit done. Our architecture is highly distributed, written mostly in Java with some Scala, Python and C sprinkled around. The frontend part is Django with Angular and Bootstrap 3. We also maintain a set of open source libraries to integrate with our platform.

If you feel strongly about a good number (between 5-42) of the elements below send your CV to ulrich.dangel@logentries.com :

• Passionate about Software Development and Delivery (your contribution will be visible)

• Like to automate

• Agility (our standups lasts less than 5 minutes!)

• Own your process

• Strong relevant CS fundamentals: basic data structures, asymptotic analysis, intractability, basic network protocols

• Hands on experience with Linux (not only using your DE), we are currently using Debian

• Practical experience with developing and testing web applications

• Practical experience with a low[ish] level language (C/C++/Objective-C/Java/C#, e.t.c). We mostly use Java.

• Practical experience with a high-level language (we use Python a lot, but Ruby/Lua/Groovy/Clojure, e.t.c is good)

• Experience with at least one Relational and one NoSQL data store

• Experience with Chef or Puppet

• Like to work in an international team

• Things like Brewer's CAP theorem, consistent hashing, false sharing and the FLP impossibility are meaningful to you

• Contributing to open source projects
Yeah texture is applied to the outside of the sphere and the camera is in the middle so its all backwards...
Nope. But everything depends on a specific binary running as pid1, something that is quite new in Linux history.

Especially when thanks to dependencies on dependencies, desktops start requiring a specific binary as pid1.
What are the odds it'll be based on Electron?
I think the intention is to signal that SQL is likely to be one of the things we work on immediately after 1.2 is released.
The private servers are technically in violation of the game's EULA/TOS but Origin/OSI and now EA have been happy to let them go unmolested as long as they don't charge players to play.

Of course many servers have gone around this barrier by incentivizing them to donate money to cover bandwidth and server costs and offering in-game benefits in return (skills, items, titles, etc.).

Citation needed. All I hear about Atom is that people are giving up on it.
You do not need a visa to be hired as a contractor by a US-based company.

What does it mean 'put effort to do so'? To do what? Hire people with permits or try to get them one?

Hiring people without a work permit can lead to very severe penalties for the business.
Pikmin Shipped with Windows Executable
I like the approach of building a monolith (with smaller libraries), and then split it once you need to. The argument is that you're likely to choose the wrong services to seperate until after you've built a bunch of the system.

This reminds me also of the idea of warfare as a force purifying yourself personally from the mundane failures of personality and habit that frustrate you day-to-day. It is strange to look at an advertisement such as https://youtube.com/watch?v=MZ73FEXSQRQ which I found so compelling as a preteen and which now looks laughably cartoonish.
WordPress may be terrible for us developers who are trying to hack on it, but the Admin area for WordPress is stupid easy for how much functionality it contains.

Tens of thousands of plugins to do almost anything you could possibly ever need to do. When you're building websites for a client on a budget, the availability of plugins goes a long way.
These quotes make me cry:

> Doing VR GUI development in the native apps is unpleasant – you can gut it out in C++ with our current interfaces, but the iteration times and code structure don’t make it a lot of fun.

> “Remote development”, where the script is actually executed in an IDE on a PC, communicating with NetHMD over a TCP connection. This allows sub-second code-change to VR change iteration cycles, and the use of a debugger. There might also be a use for a related mode where a central server directly drives one or more clients.

Why can't people see that this is the same problem even for standard GUI development rather than just VR GUI development?

I would kill for these tools on my desktop ...

I'm not entirely certain of this device.

If you have to have a 'base station', it kind of defeats the purpose, wouldn't it?
Especially because this re-broadcasts the link on another wireless band.

It's trivial to look for a Point-to-Point link with an $8 Software Defined Radio and/or follow the direction that the antennas were aimed once you find the base station.

Why isn't the idea 'flipped' the other way: get a ultra-high gain 2.4GHz or 5GHz antenna on a Wifi card and point it at the Starbucks from a mile away. Then you're 'connected' to the Starbucks while physically being located outside of the area. You're not broadcasting anything, so it's much harder to triangulate.

Why Web Components will make the web a better place for our users
I agree; furthermore, I think the author skewed Franzen's take to be more cynical than it was:

I imagine the side of David that advocated going the Kurt Cobain route speaking in the seductively reasonable voice of the devil in “The Screwtape Letters,” which was one of David’s favorite books, and pointing out that death by his own hand would simultaneously satisfy his loathsome hunger for career advantage and, because it would represent a capitulation to the side of himself that his embattled better side perceived as evil, further confirm the justice of his death sentence.

This is not to say that he spent his last months and weeks in lively intellectual conversation with himself, à la Screwtape or the Grand Inquisitor. He was so sick, toward the end, that every new waking thought of his, on whatever subject, immediately corkscrewed into the same conviction of his worthlessness, causing him continual dread and pain.

Franzen's take, IMO, was less suicide as final career move and more suicide as final act of self-loathing and rejection of last remnants of positivity.

The circumstances leading up to Wallace's death have been documented by his family in great detail, in fact-checked reported stories. Just prior to his suicide, Wallace suffered an intense, crippling bout of depression, during which his parents flew to Claremont to watch him. According to the same accounts, in the year before that, he was weaned off Nardil, suffered a relapse of depression, tried to resume his old Nardil regime, and found the drug had become ineffective.
