Definitely different from the ones here since it hasn't made me loads of money, but definitely proud of it.
The first web application I ever made, which was actually based on one of those Ask HN threads we had 2+ years go about looking for furniture the fit a specific size. I actually did make a few sales, shockingly.
At this point, it's pretty much dead as I've taken in other projects and independent security consulting engagements. It was extremely useful understanding the entire stack, and I've found it to be something I've been able to use to build a bridge to developers.
Although dirty, you could still technically use Postgres I believe, you would just need to run it on EC2 and EBS instead. The covered services for the BAA include EC2 and EBS, so you would still be covered under the signed BAA with Amazon. When it is eventually covered under the BAA, you could port over to Postgres RDS.
It's really painful to hear something like this, Mario and Zelda was my childhood, and I play the most recent Animal Crossing on my 3DS still. I hope his family understands how many childhoods he impacted.
Funny picture, when asked to draw Kirby. Artists vs Programmers. Miyamoto, Sakurai and Iwata I believe. http://i.imgur.com/S5Cq9lT.jpg
It's really hard to read the text in that picture because of the JPG compression artifacts, but I did my best to try to transcribe and translate it. I'm not a native speaker of Japanese though, so if anyone sees a mistake, please correct me!
The amazing person who thought up Kirby's Dream Land!
Although he's the youngest of the development staff,
when it comes to making interesting games, he won't lose
to anyone. An idea man of few words.
He made series such as Super Mario and The Legend of Zelda.
He's famous! But you already knew that, right? For this
Kirby, he took on the roll of producer.
He's the great person who practically made Nintendo's golf game! Due to everyone's enthusiastic encouragement, he was both a programmer and a producer for Kibry.
Last one should be: "The amazing guy who wrote pretty much the entirety of Nintendo's golf game. For Kirby, on top of cheering everyone on as a producer, he ended up doing programming too."
Thank you for the correction. If you don't mind, could you please explain the grammar of "はげましなから" since it seems I was mistaken in interpreting that construction? (I thought it was "because of encouragement".) In particular, that な is confusing me now.
Seeking a freelancer/ SME to produce an early stage prototype for a small side project. Essentially, need some help rewriting HTML responses dynamically using Ngninx and Lua. Example would be writing up a script that we can feed in to Nginx that will take a resource url (ie ads.google.com) and hide it behind the domain of a site (ie news.ycombinator.com/ads.google.com) and replace it on response without having to run code on an application server.
I recently graduated and moved out on my own. I moved to a decently large city in the Midwest, where my apartment company had signed an exclusive with AT&T. To get cable is quite expensive, but the AT&T contract here means they don't do any sort of packaging. I've got neighbors who are paying 50-60 a month for basic cable... Which would be fine, except that you can buy a $50 antenna from Amazon and get channels with much, MUCH better quality than what you can get with cable. Plus, it's free.
I also thing a major part of this might be that colleges don't really have cable... So students spend a year without cable, realize that they don't really need it and that it's expensive. I definitely think that not having cable at Universities causes some of "I can live without" attitude you're seeing here.
> Which would be fine, except that you can buy a $50 antenna from Amazon and get channels with much, MUCH better quality than what you can get with cable.
Which is funny, because back in The Day, the selling point for cable was that it was better quality than broadcast (plus a few extra channels).
I was hoping to see some updated information on the HTC Re Vive, though I'm not seeing it on the page, especially since it's expected to release sometime in November. However, I am significantly more worried about the performance problems that may exist with the Vive, particularly with its twin high-resolution displays. My 970 already has a hard enough time pushing new games at 60 fps on High or Ultra, I can't imagine it pushing twice the pixels without seeing significant performance problems...
I honestly can't tell if this is supposed to be a sarcastic comment on current state of copyright and copyright enforcement in the US, or if this is actually suggesting that people contact ASCAP and Time Warner about violations. I'm quite sure that it is actually talking about the difficulty of enforcing bans on popular songs that the general public assumes are in the public domain. Maybe my Aspergers is showing...
"Unhappy Birthday is satirical project commenting on the fact that the song Happy Birthday To You is under an actively enforced copyright held by Time Warner. This site gives folks the tools and information they need to report unauthorized public performances of that work wherever they may occur.
If educating people and upholding the principle of copyright means risking a DoS of ASCAP's licensing enforcement infrastructure, it's a risk I'm willing to take. Please help spread the word!"
I agree with everyone here. On a side note, I've just purchased a Lenovo ThinkPad T450s, had them throw an i7, 8 GB of RAM, and an SSD in it an it's a great machine. I'm running Ubuntu on it right now, it seems to have pretty good support, though the keyboard backlight is a bit finicky.
That is an awesome library. It didn't see any sort of documentation, but I imagine that this does not work on a local library, correct? I believe at some point I heard that there were some DNS settings on the Chromecast that couldn't be changed?
Personally, I'm really looking forward to someone creating some sort of an open-source receiver clone that I can install on my Nvidia Jetson or some other SoC. I would love to be able to use it as a (fully supported) Chromecast without the need to actually buy additional Chromecasts. I've been looking at it as a way to add decent audio and video control to a home automation system I'm building, but nothing is as easy as the Chromecast.
Unfortunately, Crestron-style systems are still the only way to go if you want a system that you don't have to babysit too much. They support wireless or wired HDMI across multiple inputs and outputs. But they're pretty expensive (a few thousand dollars per room) so most people don't bother.
Something like Chromecast works ok, but there's no easy way to swap back to other inputs (e.g. a game console) without a remote. Chromecast also has some significant input lag (a second or two) when issuing commands to it.
I honestly don't know how the Chromecast is set up. Would that prevent me from being able to access Google Play content? I seem to be able to Cast to Amazon FireTV sticks and PS4s, though I have no idea if they work since I don't have one, nor do I know if that even works.
