Cliche but, at least his, hindsight is 20/20

Aside: I laughed at this because Im now under the assumption that Jimmy Johns is the goto for these things since my dentist mentioned it when sonicare was over.

I'm wondering where I'll find mine...
Goopplesoft··on Introducing Socket.io 1.0
If it fits your needs why not Socket.io? They now support redis emission which means all these langs work: http://redis.io/clients

Actually the resource should typically 404 to indicate it doesn't exists (generally speaking for http apis).
Goopplesoft··on OS X 10.9.3 Is Toxic
This is all anecdotal. Mac user for years and never had a crash. These types of comment provide very little to these threads.
Goopplesoft··on Containers on the Google Cloud Platform
> It has great Docker support and a built-in distributed key/value store and a container manager for orchestration and service discovery.

Is there more to this? Most OSes have great docker support (Ubuntu et al) and etcd (the kv/orchestration tool you speak of) is open source and available to most distros as well.

Goopplesoft··on Send money to debit cards
> But it seems to me that buying stuff with a debit card isn't that common in USA.

No it is, almost all my purchases are via debit but it comes off my credit card. Most banks come with Credit cards that are just a fee-less low-liability proxy for debit that gets withdrawn from the bank account.

> We still program like it's 1960 because there are powerful path dependencies that incentivise pretending your space age computing machine is actually an 80 character tty. We are trapped in a local maximum.

Love this (although I don't like extra long lines). He's talking to you Pep8.

Goopplesoft··on Flowhub is now in Public Beta
Similar. I watched the video, read all the copy too, which I usually wouldn't do. Sucks these things are hard to fix on announcement day...
Goopplesoft··on Rappers, Sorted by Size of Vocabulary
Interesting comment about the L, S, and D usage and rhyming. I was particularly surprised by the effort that goes into Eminem's rap that I just contributed to "good flow". Some of that effort explained in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooOL4T-BAg0
Goopplesoft··on Show HN: Vhoto – Find photos in your videos
Interesting, sounds like VNC in reverse [1]. Are there any solutions to this out there? Seems like it'd be a smart way to boost a video stream.

Thanks! Any chance you could breif that? I'm curious but lacking time to read through and make sense it all.
Goopplesoft··on Box may delay IPO until June or later
Seriously curious and off topic, but in almost every HN post these 'no paywall' posts from the WSJ articles are upvoted quite a bit when generally speaking the demographic here seems to be strongly against sharing unlicensed content. Any reason for this? Is WSJ disliked?
Goopplesoft··on Introducing Anonymous Login and an Updated Facebook Login
What kind of customization were you trying to do in Django that you couldn't? I know you can one-to-one models that extend the backend, you can customize the backend, chose custom templates for the login forms, create your own forms, etc. And the docs seem to indicate this was possible since 1.5: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/topics/auth/customizin...

Goopplesoft··on US Nuclear Missile Silos Still Use Floppy Disks
Whats up with people trying to decide what budgets of these things should be? If we're really so capable of doing back of the envelope calculations on things like "how much should I spend on maintaining nuclear silos?" why don't we just cut out all the representatives, budgeting offices, inspectors, financial planners, et al and set up a direct democracy?

Sarcasm aside, I don't know fuck all about nuclear silos let alone what say $19 million or $400 million would be used for in regards to them. So perhaps you can build your credibility on this matter some so your comment matters?

Not trying to rant but this reminds me of Paul Graham on the WhatsApp deal. He said something along the lines of: "When I hear Facebook says its buying WhatsApp for 16 billion, I think 'oh so thats what WhatApp is worth', like the Federal Reserve giving inflation numbers." But our community of expert HN company appraisers was quick to try to bash Facebook over their valuation.

Goopplesoft··on What Killed My Sister?
> because we have no blood test or genetic test for it

I was reading about this: http://ge.tt/3nXdgiQ/v/0, its from Reddit where the article stated:

"However, when we examined the whole data set of 298 assessments, a cross-validated probabilistic neural network model was superior and could discriminate all cases from controls with near perfect accuracy at 98.3%."

Is this not the case?

Goopplesoft··on The New Deal
> Most people don’t do YC for the financial investment—they do it because they want the advice, the help of the network, the benefits of the program, etc. But still, more money for less equity is definitely better.

I know advice is a big part of it but this is a exaggeration right? Most of that network/benefits/etc that surrounds YCombinator is about the financial investment.

Goopplesoft··on Everyone Deserves Great Design
> DIGNIFY EVERYONE We are all human. Do not discriminate based on geography, culture, or economic status. A homeless person and the President should be treated equally.

From an economic perspective I find this very inefficient. The notion of 'universal' design would neglect the fact that there are very specific design requirements based on said discriminations. By designing one 'universal' product for say the rich/poor instead of one product for each, in most cases, you'd end up with a portion of the rich unsatisfied by an inferior product respective to expectations and an unsatisfied poor because its too expensive for them. In fact I think the cases where this does and should hold true (things like 'soda') are a rarity.

A market exists for designing things specifically for a certain demographic, and markets are where capitalism thrives. Why this this one-size-fits-all model better than a call to designers to start exploring neglected markets and making unique products for said markets?

Goopplesoft··on New generic top-level domains
Are you required to sell out domains under a gTLD? It'd be interesting to create some sort of must-be-a-sub-entity TLDs like ".bank" which requires it members to be banks (similar to .edu and .gov). But I can't imagine any entity but ICANN itself managing that in a 'fair' manor.
Goopplesoft··on Dropbox acquires Hackpad (YC W12)
I think in his usage final = definitive. As in there may be more, but that signal was the 'were in danger' moment. Not that I agree, just clarifying for him.
Goopplesoft··on Dropbox acquires Hackpad (YC W12)
And I'm sure something to be said for transitional friction.

To me dropbox is very simple: a folder you stick your things in and it syncs. I'm sure Google/SugarSync/Box/Drive etc do that just fine. I rarely if ever go on the dropbox site.

Why haven't I switched to a cheaper option? Too much friction to move things over.

Goopplesoft··on Extend Python 2.7 life till 2020
Finally, sensible reasoning. The comments in this thread and the unnecessary publicity this is getting is probably the only thing about this that would lead to the conclusion that this is a push back towards 2.7
Goopplesoft··on A dose of perspective

Absolutely, I really enjoyed it as a non-Haskell guy as well.
Goopplesoft··on Haskell in the Newsroom [video]
ah that makes sense. Was a bit annoyed because it seemed like every attempt he made to warm the audience up failed.
