Thanks Gys, this is very helpful.

Yes it is a side project, so alpha then? :) Sorry I should have mentioned earlier. And looking to see if there's interest before I put in more work.

Thanks for the pointer on 'We'. It does give the idea that this is manual - it is not. It is done by machine.

The thought is user enters date ranges for comparison and changes in sessions etc by different segments are calculated automatically for easy exploring. Algorithm is very modest now. Just subtraction. But this can be enhanced to be more intelligent e.g. give the answer in English on which segment saw drops (hence the answers).

Thanks also for the pointer on examples. I think I should do a video.

Once again, thanks so much.
I find this comment interesting because I thought it was Bootstrap - I think a few versions/years old but not any older than Bootstrap.
There is no 1 CMS that works for everything - it's impossible and that's why 230+ exist - everyone has they're own idea how it should work / look and be implemented - exactly the same reason there is no 1 web programming language or framework.

When I freelance; when I have to build a new site for my day job - this is exactly what I tell my customer / boss:

"This is Wordpress. This is how it looks out of the box, this is what I can make it look like and this is what the Admin panel looks like. It costs X to implement and will take X hours to do so.

"This is my custom CMS. It's written in pure PHP (no PHP frameworks used) and based on the Twitter Bootstrap framework. The reason no PHP frameworks are used is so any PHP programmer can come in and pick up where I left off. Every single page of the CMS is custom coded to the front end page it controls and nothing exists that doesn't need to be there. My custom CMS has been in development for years; constantly improving it as I've grown as a programmer; it's very easy to use and well documented. It costs X to implement and takes X hours to do so."

"How do you want to proceed?"

My custom is usually double the hours and double the fees - I explain everything; show past examples of both and let them decide.

If your not customizing a CMS to the customers needs (be it wordpress or your own home grown) your not providing a great product, IMO.
Knockout.js is my favorite because it doesn't make me hack my HTML documents into pieces if I don't want to, but if I want to, it lets me make web components that work all the way back to IE6.

I also like that it doesn't require anything beyond normal HTML to make templates and it doesn't require learning some huge framework just to bind a simple data-set into the page. You can also read through the entire code-base in an afternoon.
That data in API format would be nicer ;-)
It's really the most fundamental rule for every type of machine learning task -- there should be both a (1) test set and (2) a separate holdout validation set. No matter if the task is classification, sequence prediction, regression, manifold learning, clustering, whatever.

Really surprising how so few amateur traders understand this fundamental principal. Scientists too.
I sort of agree with you, but I do remember having newspapers that didn't have ads, or at least extremely few.

The bottom line is, in my mind, that if you can't make money selling your product, and needs to resort to ads to make a profit, then your products existence isn't justified. Displaying ads move money from profitable product, typically physical one, to products that doesn't provide any real value of their own.

The Internet is ruined in some degree, because we never paid for anything initially, so when companies moved in, it was expected that their stuff would be free to. Now we're stuck in a situation where the online only companies for the most part can't make money, without pimping the wares of companies with physical products, or selling their users data.

"why are you getting ads for rehab centers?"

Your profile says you work for Google. Maybe Google has an "enlightened" policy towards substance abuse, but I wonder what your manager would do if s/he thought you were in need of rehab? In a lot of companies, getting rid of you would be the manager's reaction. Starting the death spiral for someone who is looking for help is horrible and to treat it like any other targeted advertising is insensitive at best.

Given the down votes, I would guess people agree with you, but I really wish our profession would think about these things and the affects on normal people.

The black economy is a symptom of the problem not the cause

If you were Greek (Especially a young Greek) and had no prospects for a future and no hope for job in a country with highest unemployment (especially among the youngest) in EU, the black economy might be very attractive...

Also I am sure the "I did not cause this debt hence why should I pay taxes for it" attitude might be very prevailent

And do you blame them? You might feel all fine and mighty sitting in your chair reading HN (probably while at work) towards those "lazy" Greeks, but all you have to do is imagine yourself in the same situation.

The Greek economy already has contracted more and for longer than the US during the Great Depression (which did not have a larger debt burden then), let that fact focus your mind, here is a graph

Don't forget that the Great Depression years where the golden age for criminals in the US, like I said its symptom of the problem not the root cause.
> What? Did Greece just emerge from the largest military conflict on the planet utterly destroyed?

No, but neither did Germany. In fact, despite bombings etc. the industrial infrastructure post-war was bigger than 1933 (because it was heavily built out during that period).

I don't think they need to worry; AWS continues its potato quality UX with CodeCommit. Unless you're hard core into using git in terminal for practically everything I can't see this taking much if any business from the existing big players.

The issue is less the progress of biomedical researchers, moreso the discrepancy between the headlines and the actual results.

Green Array Chips architecture is quite interesting.

Giving the government tens or hundreds of billions of euro more will not solve the situation and will likely make it worse. The government can't manage that kind of money in an efficient way given the current levels of tax fraud and other kinds of corruption in the country right now.

The EU would be much better off if it offered loans only to private individuals and (small) businesses, if it really wanted to help Greece. Taking a more "decentralized" approach would ensure the "waste" would be minimal from such loans.
Off-topic, but every time I see the phrase "a fraction of what it was" I get a bit miffed. 99/100 is a fraction. 101/100 is a fraction. Every thing that gets measured in time intervals is always going to be a fraction of what it was before, bigger or smaller.

That sounds like a try-hard simplification. Input-process-output is pretty much a generic metaphor for programming in general. I don't think React has anything like monadic encapsulation (not that a language like JS can conveniently accommodate it). You're observing a few high-level properties of a given paradigm and extrapolating an inferred architecture solely from those points.

In fact, you're equivocating the entire management and abstraction of mutable state as an inherently "functional" thing, which it is not. OO is just as much capable of factoring state as a virtual resource that you explicitly make transitions to and from and transparently or visibly share increments across object boundaries, as this is exactly what e.g. Self does with Morphic, right down to the same event handler structure. Just because one is a lambda and the other is called a method doesn't make a huge difference.

I'm saying that just about all of React's insights were done previously almost verbatim in thoroughly object-oriented environments. That some FP evangelists have a kneejerk hatred for it doesn't mean the mental gymnastics for insisting one over the other is necessary. They can be complementary.
one thing i don't get with all these sways of opinions... everybody is so obsessed with what they eat and how much, nitpicking contents of this and that, instead of trying to match their intake with amount if activity per day.
I know it's hard, i know you have to produce that nasty thing called sweat to actually achieve anything, but for christ sake... just do some activities! ideally daily, with some variability. But even half an hour early morning run every day will make huge difference in life.

it will make your life longer, and more interesting in the process, in practically every aspect (yes, including sex). We are all unique, so find whatever makes you sweat and feels like fun & challenge. Heck, after not consuming processed sugars for few weeks, eating something with them is rather disgusting experience, same goes for overly fatty foods. Taste for anything natural improves HUGELY.

of course, ideal scenario is good food + healthy activities. but the more you do work out, the less importance there is on quality of food to make you stay & feel healthy (this one is more complex topic, so let's say keep eating healthy).

what i would propose is similar to tobacco treatment - anything clearly unhealthy, add a tax that will go directly to health system treating all those heart attacks, diabetes and other conditions that people bring upon themselves by being weak and/or stupid. i know it's not that simple, but at least that's a move into some direction...

My question is how long is GitHub will remain a git-only platform?

It seems only natural to me that they should branch out. (heh... branch)
When will they give us the option to see all posts from all connections, or all followed connections, in reverse chronological order? I would also like the option to remove videos from my feed altogether.
> Also let's not forget Greece got ~160bn euros in debt relief just 3 years ago.

Let's also not forget that most of that debt did not exist a few years earlier. Yes, Greece had and has a massive tax evasion problem, and debt wasn't exactly low pre-crisis either. But most of the current debt is a result of bank bailouts:

Happy Gitiversary Junio [Git maintainer 10yr anniversary]
Phillip Greenspun writes (accurately, I think): "Journalists keep referring to the years of “austerity” that Greece has endured. Government spending has been cut so much that it is now only 58.5 percent of GDP (heritage.org). What does a country that hasn’t suffered austerity spend? Singapore’s government clocks in at 14.4 percent (same source). How about a command-and-control centrally planned Communist dictatorship? China is at 25 percent. A socialist cradle-to-grave welfare state? Sweden is at 52 percent.

Are the Heritage data wrong? If not, how is it possible that Greece continues to be cited as an example of a country where the government doesn’t spend enough?"

This is simply not true. You are oversimplifying the issue. As an example, I'd like you to go take a shot of olive oil and tell me you feel fuller than having a cup of steel cut oatmeal with a cup of blueberries. In fact, in 1 shot of olive oil, that's 3 tbsp, which is roughly 360 calories, whereas the oatmeal and berries clocks in around 250 calories. "All things being equal", I just put fat against carbs and the oatmeal just won because 3 tbsp of olive oil will not satiate the way 2 cups of carbs will.

The thing with carbohydrates is that when you consume more than your body can shunt into glycogen stores/fat cells or use immediately for energy, glucose just accumulates in the blood. Glucose is an inflammatory molecule (at least to endothelial cells) and inflammation has been shown to directly modulate insulin resistance; thus you end up in a downward spiral with metabolic syndrome as the result.

I haven't seen any research that controls for calories while varying the saturated fat content of the diet which shows improved weight loss and improved insulin sensitivity for the saturated fat case. I have seen ad libitum feeding studies where people were instructed to eat fatty foods of their choice with that result, but I strongly suspect that the results in those cases were due to reductions in calorie intake.
We would have to agree to disagree here. Being passive aggressive towards newbies is not really a sign of a welcoming community. How dare they ask an obvious question... I know it's pretty standard in many online communities, but it's the opposite of what Russ says they are trying to accomplish in the Go community.

A really helpful answer in this case would include the story behind why the Go creators decided to use a different operator. Linking to the entire spec (not just the relevant section on arithmetic operators) is not friendly, patient or welcoming.

Rob Pike is pretty busy too, but he appears to be much friendlier in his responses (even to newbie questions).

Ads are not likely the best place to be finding clients. I tried this with our consultancy a few times and they never seem to pay off, even when we did it on linkedin. Although at least with linkedin, we did connect to people and it helped expand our network.

Almost all of our clients come from networking and meeting people. You have to put yourself out there. Then from there you will also get referrals etc. Getting sales is still personal, especially if you are asking for $10k+, people want to feel they know you a little or know someone that knows you.

As for your pricing, if it were me, I'd likely put it as "starting at" and pick a reasonable number (gives you flexibility too). Or give general guidelines, like "typical 3 page website developed in approximately 2-3 weeks $xxxxx." Or whatever the real facts you feel are. But that way it is less a rigid structure and more a guide for people that are interested. Giving examples like this I think doesn't scare people, but when they see 1-3 pages $25k for a mobile app, they aren't sure what that means but it seems expensive. Remember, the first thing someone does is take whatever numeric metric you put on your price and divide it into your price, so in this case they would say each screen is costing them $8,333, which will scare them. This is just human nature.

For example, we price per week (or per day for small things), and the first thing everyone does is divide our rate into 40 hours or 8 hours for the day. But for us our weekly hours commitment is 30hrs per developer to a client so that the developers have time to accomplish all those other tasks that come up and meetings etc. So it isn't X/40, its really X/30, but it doesn't even matter to us because we will never bill that way, but it is still the thing every client does in their head and I still wind up answering from time to time.

My only point about pricing then is to be careful putting numeric metrics near a price where it might make your price seem high, when in reality there are 100 other things that go into making that price. Hopefully that makes sense. Additionally, I see the starting at pricing usually lets people feel like they can negotiate and get a custom deal versus having to pay a fixed price and maybe not get what they truly want.

Ember choices didn't make sense to me until I learn Rails.

I love Rails,I just learned it recently[1] but Javascript is no Ruby. Ember is SPA oriented.

Angular is much more lightweight. It has good integration with legacy jquery plugins and can be used as a widget in a page as well as in a single page application. Angular 1 doesn't rely on a compiler or an complex asset pipeline which makes it way more simple than Ember,React and co.

[1]: After hearing for years that Rails was bad, which it isn't at all, on the contrary, I would definitely write a large web app like a SHOP or a complex CRM with it. On the other hand on the client side, I prefer widgets to SPA since SEO is a core requirement.

Ask HN: Angular, React, or other for a shopping cart on static-site?
Hi HN,

I'm currently building a site that is 95% static, but will need a few small dynamic elements (checkout, product comparison widget, etc) that will hit home-brewed APIs, and wanted to ask the HN community for help finding a small-bore solution.

I've used Angular in the past and enjoyed it (and know it works for mini-apps), but would really like this solution to be ES6 compatible. It's not a deal breaker of course, but that alone has me reconsidering Angular-as-default.

Things I'm exploring besides Angular: Polymer/Web Components, React, Aurelia.

if you've been in a similar situation, I'd love to hear about it!

Thanks HN!
No, it was destroyed. We relieved their debt because we didn't want them to have to take wheelbarrows full of money to buy loaves of bread as happened after the treaty of Versailles which plunged Germany into nationalism and anti-west sentiment and gave rise to the socialist regime which brought on WWII.

And beside the infrastructure destruction there were the ravages of war, disease, psychological, nutrition, etc.

Not to mention the obvious generation of men who died. A whole generation of men dead from warring.
GitLab raises $1.5M
It bothers me because my super intelligent HTML editor becomes useless if I choose to use React.

The reason like Knockout.js because all the magic happens in a standard data-bind attribute, no funky syntax or paradigm shifts required. A purely functional solution like React seems like it's good for making games. Beyond that, for most sites, I think it would be more work to use React for little to no gain.

I view this more like Heroku and how they have git servers. Sure, Heroku has git servers but isn't trying to be GitHub (a web interface over git and development communication in general). This appears to just be a convenience for deploying your code.

Also, given Amazon's awful reputation for building UIs that people actually want to use, I doubt they could build something to compete with GitHub anyway.
