Goopplesoft··on Dear clueless assholes: stop bashing bash and GNU
This post might shed some light into Stallman's lifestyle: http://gizmodo.com/5853729/please-do-not-buy-richard-stallma...
Goopplesoft··on Docker is the Heroku Killer
Very interesting thanks! I started outlining/working on a similar docker orchestration too a couple weeks ago here: https://github.com/pnegahdar/sporedock
Goopplesoft··on The Practicality of J2ME Applications
There was a prior article attributing J2ME to Whatapp's success: http://blog.textit.in/your-path-to-a-$16b-exit-build-a-j2me-..., discussion here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7269258
Goopplesoft··on Django 1.7 Released
Flask Restful by Twilio is pretty good (http://flask-restful.readthedocs.org/en/latest/) some wrong assumption are made by the app but customizing it is fairly easy.
Goopplesoft··on Yahoo stopping all new development of YUI
They own tumblr...
Goopplesoft··on How the Napa Earthquake Affected Bay Area Sleepers
The UP bands data processing happens server sided and is indicated by the UI. Was there an indication here that a third party was involved (the post indicates its their internal data team)? Otherwise I think everyone has generally accepted internal company use of data (critical part of growth) let alone when its aggregate and anonymous.
Goopplesoft··on Native Responsive Images
Please read the wiki op linked.

> A subset video bitstream is derived by dropping packets from the larger video to reduce the bandwidth required for the subset bitstream. The subset bitstream can represent a lower spatial resolution (smaller screen), lower temporal resolution (lower frame rate), or lower quality video signal.

Goopplesoft··on Simulating a global Ebola outbreak
Its really impressive what you can do in very few lines of code within the wolfram ecosystem.
Goopplesoft··on Performance Parking
If you guys check the file (http://www.lq.com/lq/data/hotelMarkers.js) its not actually valid json but rather Javascript, so it was probably just easier for him that way.
Goopplesoft··on Fast and easy Levenshtein distance using a trie (2011)
Here are some sources on non-standard python data structures (including a text trie) that I've found very useful: http://kmike.ru/python-data-structures/

Also I've used this C implementation of the Levenshtein distance which much success as well: https://code.google.com/p/pylevenshtein/

Goopplesoft··on Show HN: Pi Approximation using Monte Carlo
Thanks for the share. Tried this in python using some higher iterations and started getting good numbers around 1E6

Goopplesoft··on How to find your Uber passenger rating
To avoid a db migration ;)
Goopplesoft··on Rolling your own CDN for $25 in 1 hour
This geo-DNS is related to finding Cloudflare's servers, not finding your servers. I love and use Cloudflare but their support for Route 53 like multi-host configurations (health checks, latency, etc) is pretty bad (I think they only support roundrobin cnames).
Goopplesoft··on U.K. National Grid status
Note the radial gauges have a tooltip to let you what they mean/represent. This was the one for CCGT: http://i.imgur.com/4kzFr2M
Goopplesoft··on GCC 4.9 is doing “some seriously crazy shit” according to Linus Torvalds
Would this have really made the top of HN if it wasn't for the tone though?
Goopplesoft··on Snabb Switch – A toolkit for solving novel problems in networking
Yea, Im not sure thats a good/accurate bashing. This is a highly optimized tool for a very specific task. OSes have very very wide use cases they have to support.
Goopplesoft··on Python 2.7.8
Yup its the result of a design competition. Old relevant post from HN: http://grokcode.com/746/dear-python-why-are-you-so-ugly/
Goopplesoft··on Google’s Balloon Internet Experiment, One Year Later
Because if you get this unconventional method right your barrier to scaling reduces in the long run.
Goopplesoft··on Show HN: We put an iPhone on the front wheel of a car
Click url bar... Theyre using the new fullscreen api on iOS which kinda sucks IMO.
Goopplesoft··on Show HN: 5iler – a repurposable minimalist notepad
Mine would be: todo, random, scratch, thoughts/ideas, notes.
Goopplesoft··on An even slimmer pdf.js
Out curiousity of the process: why wouldnt something like this show up in a earlier release?
Goopplesoft··on The End of Cuisine
Then perhaps he was the wrong person to do the article considering thats quite a contrast to Adria's (who has quite established ethos in tasting/food) seemingly positive opinion of meal.
Goopplesoft··on Starbucks to Provide Free College Education to Thousands of Workers
Interesting if this becomes widespread to other companies as well. Free enterprise/big-corp solving the cost of education/college issue when our government couldn't will be a big win for the laissez-faire folks.

Are there any existing tax benefits for educating your workers? That might be the next govt involved step here.

Goopplesoft··on The End of Cuisine
Was anyone else rubbed the wrong way by that closing paragraph? It almost seems like in bad attempt to sound 'deep' makes little of everything that went into the meal.

Interestingly Nathan has a recipe for the 'ultimate burger' http://modernistcuisine.com/2011/12/the-ultimate-burger/

Goopplesoft··on Rubber duck debugging
Not to be that guy but: https://hn.algolia.com/#!/story/forever/0/rubber%20duck
Goopplesoft··on Docker 1.0
Really? Never read/worked/etc in a os x server environment, but it seems like brew would be a good package manager for automating installs...
Goopplesoft··on 0xDBE: JetBrains IDE for DBAs and SQL developers
She doesn't need to be. Idea includes the PHP plugin which is basically PHPStorm thats lags a bit (usually negligibly)...
Goopplesoft··on It's here: Docker 1.0
If you want to get into docker for a small project I suggest something like Dokku as a first-step/primer. Its a 100 lines of bash that you should read and uses Heroku BuildPacks to do the heavy lifting. Great way to get introduced to Docker and software driven sys admining with rock solid deployment architectures.

Goopplesoft··on JavaScript as an alternative to AppleScript on OS X Yosemite
> I mean, sure it's no PHP

Yup, we're getting trolled...

Goopplesoft··on Twitter stops using Helevetica Neue in favour of Gotham
From their assets site:

> Words don’t just hold meaning; they communicate by their very form. We primarily use the Gotham font family: elegant and direct, stylish but not exclusive. Putting well-designed words in our product enhances the user experience.

Not sure what the 'but not exclusive.' is implying though...
