I've been working a combination recipe inspiration / meal planning application [1]. The idea is that you have:

- chef personalities generating interesting recipes every couple days

- the ability to save and edit these recipes to suit your needs/ingredients

- the ability to schedule weekly meal plan generations that take the inspiration content and give you a plan and shopping list for the week.

We had our first kid this year and I've been having more trouble getting things together for home cooked meals. This is my attempt to make it is frictionless as possible. I'm working on getting instacart API access so I can build out the cart for the meal plan automatically, at which point I'm hoping this is a one click confirmation a week to keep interesting food flowing. Works great for scheduling baby meals as well!

I had the same thought - got some results for "GAK" https://www.alltext.nyc/?search=gak&page=1

Still not great, but do you know about the spacebar trick? Anywhere the keyboard is open in iOS or iPadOS, press and hold the spacebar. The keyboard is now a trackpad and you can easily move the cursor. Incredibly bad discoverability but has been a big qol improvement for me.

The author didn't specify whether the donated iPads had LTE connectivity but did say that they very much enjoyed LTE on theirs. This is an edge for the iPad I think? Not sure how the cell plans would be worked out but having an always on, semi reliable connection could be a big positive here.

This is an issue I've seen with programmers that hop around companies every year or two - they rarely get to see how their software choices play out in the long term and so never really internalize what works and what doesn't. Same issue to some extent with people who keep hopping around languages/frameworks - if you only have experience writing projects from scratch you'll never really understand what works and what doesn't from a long term maintenance perspective.

Once you've logged into facebook from the device, they likely created a device fingerprint for your device: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Device_fingerprint . This would allow them to identify you even without a cookie or ad id to correlate against.

Has anyone here had experience with this type of "decision automation" platform? Bryter looks very well put together, I haven't worked anywhere that was using software like this before.

This you can actually fix - check out Settings -> Advanced -> Input Options for enter behaviour in code blocks.

Agreed! The ORM I'm currently using has been setting text for all my `string` columns by default and I was feeling the need to go fix a few, so this is one of those magical times when procrastinating on an issue paid off in my favour.

On that note though, I wonder what impact (if any) this has on an index covering the column? I could be off here but from my mysql days I was under the impression the index would be more efficient if there was a length limit on the column.

A large portion of the cost of high performance hearing aids today is not not the hearing aids themselves, its the overheads of the local office which are amortized over very few local customers. Generally, the cost of a high performance device is around $300-500 to an audiologist. This is why online companies, like https://www.embracehearing.com (full disclosure, this is my father's company), are able to sell high end hearing aids for about 1/3 of the price of retail.

I also do this, but I'm not sure that it's unique to hacker news. The immediate example that comes to mind is that while one might not watch something like a Presidential Address, or for that matter a White House news conference, one is more likely to watch the evening news or read a newspaper where people dissect the information and TLDR it for them as well as provide some contextual commentary.

We played with this a bit using both cloudfront and other cdns. While we did see some small improvements, it wasn't nearly as good as we were expecting on the upload side. It may be fixed now, but there were also many issues getting the proper headers to pass through cloudfront to s3 for chunked uploads.

Possibly referring to jQuery 2 dropping support for IE 8 and down?

Agreed! I've been trying to put a list like this together for Big Data use cases (hadoop, storm... ??) and have had trouble finding up to date resources as the space moves so quickly. Now what we need is a list of these lists.

This may be naive, but would it be possible for the voltage booster to only start 'boosting' after the battery falls under a certain voltage threshold? That would be seem to solve both of your concerns.

Was surprised by this so just did a little research. It appears (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18578439/using-requests-... , http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/community/faq/#wha...) that this is fixable in python 2.7 so not a show stopper, more of just a good to know.

The SNI stuff (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Name_Indication) helps with this if you can do without XP support.

For my previous use cases, it's ideal for dynamically created subdomains of a web application. If I know ahead of time, it's easy to grab a cert for any subdomain. However if a user is creating subdomains for a custom site or something similar, it's much nicer/easier to have the wildcard cert.

I haven't personally used the product yet, but it looks like they have a desktop client to sync code to local repositories (dropbox style). That way you could at least code when offline, although the testing in a dev environment would still be an issue.

Was surprised not to see God (http://godrb.com/) here, has it fallen from grace?

Fair but sometimes it's unavoidable when you're trying to use third party APIs such as Facebook or Google. The only option is to allow some sort of external login (be it oauth or something similar)

Great article!

Why is it that the encoded string needs to be divisible by four before you can decode it?

I find this happening more and more often, quite often I'll have to pay as much as a $5 premium for the digital version.

I find the notion that these videos are ineffective baffling. When I found these videos during my university calculus course, they literally saved my grade due to the extremely poor quality of my professor (and TAs). I find Sal to be incredibly effective, no nonsense teacher who at this point has probably taught me 5 or 6 different subjects with efficiency that no professor, nor TA has provided.

As a recent graduate: Thank You, Sal! Keep up the good work.

Right, so what this post is saying is that for the most part the evil is in using this default route, leaving open controller actions that should only be accessible as posts. Will have to look more into the docs, but it's good to know that the methods specified in the guide have some caveats.

Would love to see some more information on best practices for routing. I've always used http://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html as a go-to resource on routing, and it uses 'match' statements throughout. Is the suggestion here to just change all match statements to the intended REST verb?

It's more than just payments within any given app though. The issue (/proposed issue) is that every time you join a new site or pay for a product on a new site you need to look up your details again. This isn't the case for sites using paypal, assuming the user has a paypal account which it seems most people do.
