Any examples of how it handles pagination? Couldn't find it in the README.md
anonfunction··on Show HN: DOG WHISTLE, the multidisciplinary data driven marketing plan
Just so you know "dog whistle" can have a negative connotation where it refers to saying one thing as a code word for something else, usually derogatory and aimed at a minority or other group.

Really helpful, I would add on-chain and off-chain.

I would make the demo link more prominent because it is really cool.
anonfunction··on Show HN: Cloudforks – Uber of cloud computing
> The cheapest cloud service provider

It's not even that cheap, 1 vCPU and 2GB memory for 6.4800 USD per month.

anonfunction··on Show HN: LogDNA – Embed server logs onto any web page
Isn't the example just a gif? The pause and open link are shown like it's the real deal but then it just opens up into a lightbox.

Where can I see an example of the actual embedded logs?

There is also the official air quality website[1] which you should check before going outside or doing any heavy exercise.

anonfunction··on Ask HN: What is your preferred method of sending large files over the internet?
Serve it with nginx, as a bonus you get logs to see who accessed it.

It's almost all images / gifs, maybe they failed to load or you have them blocked?

I was thinking it would be interesting to recreate the site with CSS but the animations that show the before and after state change might prove tricky.

anonfunction··on Five minute guide to better typography
I disagree completely, typography is an artform and therefore completely subjective. I actually preferred the unaligned header example. Sometimes there is a lot of white-space that makes people perceive things to be aligned. Often perfectly aligned text calls for something unaligned to stand out.

There may be a scientific approach to finding the best typography to convey information to a specific group of people but it will never be an exact science or a mathematical formula that will work universally.

It's just a default nginx page.
anonfunction··on Image Dithering: Eleven Algorithms and Source Code
I was showing coworkers an example of the Floyd Steinberg algorithm today.

The following images have the same amount of colors, namely black and white.

Whoever bought the ad for syscoin.org didn't use an absolute URL and the link goes to https://thousandetherhomepage.com/syscoin.org.
anonfunction··on Giving you more characters
> We want every person around the world to easily express themselves on Twitter, so we're doing something new: we're going to try out a longer limit, 280 characters, in languages impacted by cramming (which is all except Japanese, Chinese, and Korean).

If the only justification they had was that three languages can convey more information than the rest why not reduce the characters for the three "cramming" languages?

anonfunction··on Text-only NPR
There is no css being loaded on http://thin.npr.org, just the default browser styling for html elements.
anonfunction··on Show HN: Pulse – Empathize with your users via real-time heartbeats
Really needs a demo, the images are tiny.

I tried to sign up but got this error after authenticating with github:

Uh oh, the heart stopped!

anonfunction··on Introducing Faster GPUs for Google Compute Engine
> For infrastructure, Compute Engine and Google Container Enginer allow you to run your GPU workloads with VMs or containers.

It's been my understanding that container engine does not support GPUs and I can't find any documentation stating otherwise.

anonfunction··on Show HN: Coinfolix – a simple cryptocurrency tracker for iPhone
Really slick website! One feature I've wanted is to be able to put the price I got my crypto for and see the relative gain or loss from that rather than the previous day or week.
anonfunction··on Show HN: My Father-In-law Wrote This Table Data Format in GO
While reading the README where it mentioned JSON, YAML and XML I kept thinking CSV! I like the added support for types and convenience functions for sorting and printing. Tell your FIL good work!
anonfunction··on Atom 1.20
I'm on a MacBook Pro with 16GB RAM and I usually have Atom running ~5 projects with multiple tabs of source code open on each. I've left them open for days or even weeks and have not noticed any type lag.

I wonder why you get type lag, maybe you're working with really large files?

Usually seed stage startup founders assume the roles CEO / CTO from the onset.
anonfunction··on Show HN: Dead simple SMS API
Pretty cool, I just tried it and it worked. I didn't like how I had to send two requests with the same message, one before and one after opting in. Ideally after opting in I would have received the initial message. Otherwise any application would have to use polling.

For the code snippets you could use httpsnippet[1] or apiembed[2] to support some more languages.

anonfunction··on Show HN: Dead simple SMS API
I thought the same thing but having that actually made it easy to copy and paste into my terminal and then edit the number.
