My fitness hack: Heating my room via body temperature

Posted by itry on Tuesday December 16, 2014 @04:40AM
from the self-post dept.

Its getting cold and some days ago, I wanted to get warm fast. So instead of turning on the heater, I did some push ups. After I did 12, I felt quite ok with the room temperature. This lead me to an experiment for this winter:No heater. Only excercises!So I have been doing a lot of push ups, dumbbell curls, pull ups and all kind of shit for a week now. The temperature is a constant reminder and...

Ask HN: Follow Buttons vs. Share Buttons

Posted by itry on Thursday December 11, 2014 @05:47AM
from the ask-hn dept.

Some sites put follow buttons on their pages so people can easily follow the Twitter/FB accounts of the site owner. Some sites put share buttons up, so people can easily recommend the content to their followers. What do you think is better?

    It will definitely change the way we code
Only on a low level, right? I have not been thinking about ram and disk in ages. I calculate with variables, I store stuff in a DB or in a file, I access the net via http. Nothing would change if ram increases I think.

By that logic you would have predicted that the internet will not happen because "who wants to read all that shit".

> it is very unlikely that "we" could turn into an "I".

We share more and more every day. And the ones who participate in the sharing benefit. I remember when some people said "i will never own a mobile phone. i don't want to be reachable all the time.". They all have smartphones now. Todays kids not only have mobile phones, they have internet connected phones with cameras. And share their experiences online. Tomorrows kids will have google glass or an antenna implemented in their head. Realtime streaming their experiences into the heads of others.

What will stop this process in your opinion?

What if we all become one big brain?

Thinking about privacy, today it ocurred to me, that this concept might get completely abandoned in the future. What would happen, if we all become one big brain, where everybody has full access to everybody elses information? Apart from feeling weird at first, would there be any serious downsides?

Ask HN: Was there really a dot com bubble?

Posted by itry on Saturday October 11, 2014 @01:20PM
from the ask-hn dept.

Wikipedia points out, that at the peak of the dot com bubble, "America's 371 publicly traded Internet companies have grown to the point that they are collectively valued at $1.3 trillion".Thats about as much as the combined value of Apple, Google, Amazon and Facebook today. So the internet did hold up to its promise.Even if we only look at companies that already existed during the "bubble" -...

Re:Ask HN: When do you risk it all? on Friday October 10, 2014 @11:54PM (#8441191)
I say: go for it.

Dive into it fulltime. Do not take outside money.

From my experience, risk takers have the better life. On average. That doesn't mean you could not end up fucked. But that's the whole point of risk taking.

And for outside money - I have been screwed so often and so hard by business partners. Maybe it's just a personal thing. But if I had to give my young self an advice from the future, it would be: Don't entangle with others.

Oh, and I think you completely overdramatize this. Don't pretend you are preparing a flight to the moon. Just make a real minimal viable product in a month or two. And see if people use it. I have seen people with dedication going from not being able to program to having a working thing generating money in less then 2 months. Its all about going into it with 100% full force. If you tinker with a project on the side, my bet is that it will fail.

Re:A possible future for PHP on Thursday October 02, 2014 @09:33AM (#8400628)
Been coding PHP for 14 years. Running several servers with PHP applications. Serving hundreds of thousands of users a month.

None of the issues he wants to get "solved" have ever been an issue to me.

Taking away _GET, _POST and _SERVER would introduce issues.

Re:Show HN: GoldenLayout – JavaScript Layout Manager on Thursday October 02, 2014 @09:15AM (#8400569)
In the "getting started", you should put the .js and .css files somewhere so the examples work. I copypasted all your codelines just to be dissappointed that it doesnt not work. I understand you probably don't want to be a cdn. But for testing purposes, I cannot be assed to copy stuff over to my server. I prefixed them with https://golden-layout.com/assets/ and it nicely worked. Nice. Bookmarked.

Ask HN: How much will practice improve your coding efficiency?

Posted by itry on Wednesday October 01, 2014 @01:49PM
from the ask-hn dept.

I'm a coder for 30 years now. Lately I went on a "startup spree". Starting new mini-web-startups as quick as I can. My last one took me one week to make. The current one, Im one week in and expect to invest another week. Im coding almost around the clock.If I keep doing this and do - say 30 - startups in 2015 - will my coding speed go up? Will I create the same kind of project in 1 week that at...

Re:Mozilla Brick on Tuesday September 30, 2014 @04:23AM (#8387232)
Thanks. That might work. But it feels a bit unaccessible. Looking through the code also gives me a strange feeling. Too many dependencies. They should just give you a .js that enables certain functionality and thats it. Like "include brick-flipbox.js and you have flipbox functionality".

Plus most of the demos do not wort (tried in chromium).

I don't believe in this thing.

Re:Mozilla Brick on Tuesday September 30, 2014 @03:31AM (#8387119)
Can I use this client-side? From what I read on the page this seems to be only geared towards a certain server-side-setup with node.js, brewer and stuff.
