0b01on Announcing Rust 1.23

I built a order book data storage in Rust. It's kind of like redis but for order book data. I can't imagine writing such a complex piece of software in any other language in such a short time (2 months).

0b01on Ask HN: What functional programming language(s) do you use?

Rust. It's fast and the syntax feels like OCaml/Haskell. Like Haskell, the compiler does a LOT for you.

It's the practical Haskell.

0b01on Ask HN: What are you working on?

Thanks for checking it out. txtpen differs from hypothesis in 2 aspects.

1. Full publisher control. Publishers can moderate and pin highlights on their sites. However, all annotations can be retrieved via RESTful API as per W3C standards.

2. Only pick the best highlights to value add the reader. Otherwise annotation is nothing more than digital graffiti.

Also, we strive to be the best annotation service out there. The load speed is within 150ms compared to 2080ms of hypothesis. And we plan to cut that by half to within 60ms which is below perception threshold. The experience will be magical.

0b01on Ask HN: What are you working on?

I'm an undergraduate at UMD working remotely. As a side project, I am working with a friend on https://txtpen.com

txtpen provides highlights and context comments for websites. It is like medium for non-medium sites. Most importantly it follows the W3C Annotation Standard.

It is so close to finish. If you have a tech blog and would like to be test it please email me at ricky@txtpen.com

Any feedback is welcome. Thanks in advance

0b01on BrowserFS: an in-browser filesystem with many back ends

so you can use webpack to build react applications in browser? Structor should look into that and integrate with their GUI

0b01on Ask HN: A tool for writing English that checks “popularity” of used sentences?

https://github.com/rickyhan/bodine

This is a tiny tool I wrote a long time ago. There's also writefullapp.com which is closed source.

0b01on A cool way to use natural language in JavaScript

Title is misleading clickbait. Should be 'to process natural language.' or a cool way to use NLP.

0b01on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (April 2016)

0b01 | 0b01.com | San Francisco, CA | San Francisco or REMOTE 0b01 is an AI that learns the way you annotate.

We're looking for people to help build out our Python/Angular service. We use Python as much as we can, with AngularJS and ReactJS as our design tools.

* Software Development Manager Key skills include Python, Postgresql. The backend has already been written with a lot of room for improvement.

* Front-end Engineer Key skills include AngularJS, HTML5, CSS3, SASS, Git, Python and JavaScript. Python experience would be ideal, but is not a requirement; this role is all about the frontend. Other beneficial skills include SVG, JSON, Gulp, and Babel.
