Reltair··on Ask HN: What project are you currently working on?
I'm building a job board and currently I'm finishing up the initial feature set.

https://whoshiring.io/

Reltair··on Lecture 1 – How to Start a Startup [video]
The recommended reading from the final slide:

- The Hard Thing About Hard Things

- Zero to One (CS 138A)

- The Facebook Effect

- The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership

- The Tao of Leadership

- Nonviolent Communication

Reltair··on Show HN: Dev List – comprehensive developer profiles
Hello, the app is pretty basic at the moment with just textareas for a few preset sections you generally find in a resume. I'm looking for feedback on what features developers would want when creating an online resume/profile (similar to creating a LinkedIn page), thanks!
Reltair··on Tell HN: Happy New Year
I wish everyone a Happy New Year! Let's make the most of 2014!
Reltair··on Show HN: Song Looper, custom playlists for YouTube videos
Saving a playlist generates a custom url for you to access it at. If you added a password to it, you can modify the playlist saved at that particular url. Sharing the url and password with friends allows everyone to collaborate on a playlist.

The front-end is just Bootstrap and jQuery. It calls an API server that is built with Node.js, Express, and MongoDB.

Reltair··on Show HN: New Starcraft 2 Builds Website
I actually thought about this a while back when I saw the Build Order tab displayed after a match that shows each player's build order up to around 30-40 supply. This technically should be possible since a replay has all the data for that, but I haven't looked into it more yet.
Reltair··on Show HN: New Starcraft 2 Builds Website
It currently has all the new units/buildings/upgrades from HotS already, but there's no way to tag a build as WoL or HotS. We can add in this capability fairly easily.

I guess this would be useful if there's a significant amount of people still playing WoL even after HotS is released.

Reltair··on Show HN: New Starcraft 2 Builds Website
Hi, we built a Rails site for creating and finding Starcraft 2 build orders.

Any feedback will be greatly appreciated. Some upcoming features include a commenting system and build rankings.

We're also interested in what the community thinks about growing traffic for a niche site like this, thanks!

Reltair··on Show HN: RankGifts - think Facemash except for gifts
Unfortunately, this is right after the biggest gift giving time of the year, but I coded this simple web app during Christmas Eve and Christmas. It uses the Amazon ECS PHP Library to get the product data and Bootstrap for the design.

It only has basic features right now, so feel free to comment on any additional features you would like to see and/or other feedback. Thanks!

Reltair··on Ask HN: Best books you read in 2012
How to Get Rich: One of the World's Greatest Entrepreneurs Shares His Secrets - Felix Dennis. The most life-changing book that I read this year. http://www.amazon.com/How-Get-Rich-Greatest-Entrepreneurs/dp...
Reltair··on Ask HN: what was the best life/programming choice you ever made?
Ah yes, I remember those days. SOE had Tanarus, Infantry, and Cosmic Rift out, which were all fun in their own way.
Reltair··on San Francisco Hacker News meetup happening this Thursday
Nice, will some of them be on the weekend?

6pm is a bit too early for me to make it on a work night (plus the commute time for those of us outside SF).

Reltair··on 40% off The Pragmatic Bookshelf with the coupon 'turkey'
Purchased your book. Looks like an interesting read for when I have nighttime coding breaks, thanks for the sale!
Reltair··on CSSHat with 60% Discount Today
Thanks, the video pushed me over the fence into making the purchase. Seeing an actual demo really helps in understanding what it does.
Reltair··on Why aren't we all using Japanese toilets?
When I went to Japan and used the public toilets there, the nozzles would first go through an auto-cleaning process when you sat down.
Reltair··on Why Steven Sinofsky is out at Microsoft - Several plausible reasons
Added part of the article's subtitle to make it more clear.
Reltair··on NASA will text you whenever the International Space Station passes overhead
It sounds like I should still be able to see it even in an urban area (e.g. San Francisco), is that correct?

I didn't know it passed by that quickly though. I guess I'll see how well NASA's texting service works out then.

Reltair··on SpaceX's First Official Cargo Resupply Mission to the ISS - Launch Webcast
Congrats to SpaceX on a successful launch and a great webcast!
Reltair··on SpaceX's First Official Cargo Resupply Mission to the ISS - Launch Webcast
I love being able to hear their comm checks. It really makes you feel like you are actually there.
Reltair··on SpaceX's First Official Cargo Resupply Mission to the ISS - Launch Webcast
There's a Livestream app you can get which I assume would let you watch this.

Reltair··on SpaceX's First Official Cargo Resupply Mission to the ISS - Launch Webcast
Launch webcast begins in T-1 hour!
Reltair··on The Ludum Dare October Challenge: Finish a game, Take it to market, Earn $1
"The first 90 percent of the code accounts for the first 90 percent of the development time. The remaining 10 percent of the code accounts for the other 90 percent of the development time." —Tom Cargill, Bell Labs

That last 10% is a killer. :)

Reltair··on Robot cars on public roads? California says yes
Yes! Driving in traffic is mind-numbing.

It also doesn't help that traffic seems to be getting worse in the bay area.

Reltair··on Keep a programming journal
Those fit with exactly what I was looking for, thanks!
Reltair··on Keep a programming journal
Does anyone happen to know if there are any leather bound notebooks with pre-numbered blank pages?

Moleskine notebooks look promising, except they aren't really leather and don't have pre-numbered pages. I guess I can number the pages myself, but it would be nice to already have it done.

Reltair··on Elon Musk Wants to Put Man on Mars in '12 to 15 Years'
"It'd be a great tourism experience, but what's the ultimate value to humanity?"

Developing the future technology to accomplish this feat would be worth it already. Furthermore, being the first company/country to send a human to Mars would be an enormous achievement. The number of people this would inspire to pursue this field in our current and future generations is not something that can be measured.

Reltair··on Oculus Rift: Step Into the Game
How well would this work for people who wear glasses? I'm assuming I would have to wear contacts to use the devkit version at least.
Reltair··on Fungi Discovered In The Amazon Will Eat Your Plastic
Looks promising, but what does the fungi convert the polyurethane to and how quickly does it eat it?
Reltair··on Beginners Guide to HTML/CSS
I suggest adding interactive examples for each section where a user can type in some HTML to see what it does. This way it reinforces what they have just read, and it can be easier to learn when they are doing things hands-on.
Reltair··on Tesla Model S Options and Pricing
I think 50k is still a bit high for their cheapest model. Hopefully they'll be able to offer cheaper models in the 25-30k range in a few years.
