pki··on The sad state of web app deployment
I've used docker before and my install was to a clean ubuntu 14 64bit - discourse installed + up and running in about 3.5 minutes. I have never worked with Rails or Ruby, or had to touch rvm for this case.

Incidentally, my hosting machine is basically clean - I don't use it as a personal or dev box, it does not have a ton of random userspace stuff in 32bit, it just hosts things.

pki··on Building a Tetris Clone in X86 Assembly, Pt. Ⅰ: Hello, World
there's no comment section there so i'd figure i'd ask here: what is that font that it outputs? is that part of BIOS or something? or part of boot loader or PXE server?

i assumed asm was the lowest level, is there some builtin font by default that can't be changed or something?

AFAIK Israel actually attempts airport security instead of security theatre, which is understandable considering what happens there.

pki··on How Schools Are Handling an 'Overparenting' Crisis
My friend's high school does not permit lunches from home; they require religious or medical permission that they must have a specific diet, and have to be eaten in a separate room, and lunches are checked to ensure no peanuts/etc.

Firebug is one of the worst extensions I've seen in terms of performance. Uninstall it and see if there are changes.

pki··on Show HN: FoundersKit – $6k of discounts for the best startup tools for only $39
My apologies on the affiliate link thing then, all of your "Visit Site" links on each deal append `?ref=founderskit.co` to the end of the url.

Some of them, like crazyegg, hand out the same discount to everyone without paying for it - see https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Acrazyegg.com+"Egg+is+...

Platejoy, another on your list, offers coupon code TRYPJ (I used this a while ago) for the same discount without paying for it, publicly.

There's a lot more, but those are the two that stood out because I recently used the trial/coupons. For quite a large number of your offers in the bundle, you can get the same offer at no cost just by googling sitename + coupon. Maybe not offered by the copmany directly, but still freely claimable via another deal site.

Personally, I don't mean any offense, but I would likely pass on this.

I would be more interested in say, a $99 bundle that provided services for a bunch of these SaaS for a year or longer, not "first month free" or "$10 off first purchase" or anything like that. A lot of your discounts aren't lifetime, but a small amount off the first month - which is really just not very "deal like" to me.

pki··on Show HN: FoundersKit – $6k of discounts for the best startup tools for only $39
this is pretty much my thought, a lot of these are offered anyway, and often for completely free.. why pay $39 for a bunch of affiliate links?

pki··on Ask HN: I am trying to give away free $130 products, need marketing advice
You say "giving away", I see "being forced to buy, then later apply for some form of or equivalent of rebate, which I've had really shitty past experiences with by virtually every single company ever offering a rebate in any way"

That's the biggest stopper for me.

On top of that, think of it this way: if someone writes a negative review, wouldn't they innately feel that you wouldn't reimburse them? So you are basically "paying for positive reviews" psychologically, rather than the more fair reviews if they were compensated in the first place IMHO
