dlsym··on “Hey”, an interruption tracker written in Scheme
> You can even have a "do not disturb" sign on your door.

You can't. At least not in modern open plan offices, nobody except management loves.

Please stop hijacking scrolling. Thankyou.
dlsym··on Inflammation halts fat-burning
No it does not.

Lost 50 kg doing CICO. To keep your muscle, watch your macros and exercise.

Losing weight is actually pretty simple. But I won't argue that it is hard.

dlsym··on Sex toys and the Internet of Things collide – what could go wrong?
Risky click of the day.
dlsym··on Hack – CSS framework for Hackers
Wait, didn't we install frontend stuff like css frameworks via bower? I feel kinda out of the loop.
dlsym··on Visual, multi-language XKCD-style password generator
"schatzmeister anschlägen vormarsch stolzen" Yeah. Pretty german.
dlsym··on Show HN: Penny, an easy way to track your spending
What I hate more is the thought of having my financial data stored in some shady, cobbled together, cloud service, hosted somewhere on Amazon AWS.

I predict, that it is only a question of time until they will encounter some disastrous data leak.

Begin a YNAB user for more than a year now, I am really angry at them for this move. So I'll guess I have to move on to something else after the support for the YNAB4 apps will be shut down.

dlsym··on Introducing Pixel C
You are not alone.
dlsym··on JSON Lines
I wonder, why even bother with wrapping rows in array brackets and not do it implicitly.

    ["Name", "Session", "Score", "Completed"]
    ["Gilbert", "2013", 24, true]
would be

    "Name", "Session", "Score", "Completed"
    "Gilbert", "2013", 24, true
Which is, well, more or less just CSV. This should work with objects too:

    "name": "Jane", "key": { "nested": "object" }, "foo": ["bar"]

Or mixed:

    "Foo", { "fnord": 23 }, true
dlsym··on Metal Captcha
Or people below a certain age.
dlsym··on No one expects command execution
Hey guys! Did you know you can actually execute a script with date by running date && ./myscript.sh

WOW! I better get on going writing my blog post "executing abitrary code with 'date'".

dlsym··on Startup Ranking
I first thought this was some site about pranking startups...
dlsym··on Knwl.js – A JavaScript NLP
This could be a little more robust... Miss a dot and you get weird places like "if". Relative times don't get extracted.

Something like: "Hi Frank,

I've looked up the OIDs in the Cisco manual. Let's meet for lunch at burger king tomorrow at noon.

S" yields only "Cisco" - as a place. Well.

I know parsing natural language is hard. So keep up the good work and keep on tweaking :-)

dlsym··on Show HN: A curated list of awesome lists
Why are you not curating a curated list of curated curating-lists?
dlsym··on [dead]
From the page:

> "It is to show the future of software development"

> "Because in 2020 most programmers won't be engineers"

> "They will be doctors, teachers, farmers, executives"

So this is a sophisticated version of Microsoft Access? Combined with Apple's Filemaker? For the web?

dlsym··on Bundle Club – Curated essentials for your baby delivered monthly
Hooray for everything being "curated" these days.
dlsym··on The button: social experiment driving Reddit crazy
This whole social hierarchy based on colors reminds me of Jasper Fforde's Shades of Gray.

dlsym··on Monitor the mood states of Hacker News in real time
> There seems to be too much confusion

    I can't get no relief

    Businessmen, they drink my wine
    Plowmen dig my earth

    None of them along the line
    know what any of it is worth
dlsym··on Ask HN: How do you work efficiently on remote servers?
I use vim + tmux
dlsym··on Show HN: AI QLearning Robot Simulation in JavaScript and WebGL
Food / Poison break even was at 88. A chart would be interesting.

However - since R2D2 seems like a slow learner it would be nice to speed up the time a little bit.

dlsym··on Ask HN: Tell me your biggest pain and I will try to solve it
Software solution: Install Tinder.
dlsym··on Show HN: Add a custom cursor to improve your UX
I'm not convinced.

Looks like the time variable is not updated...

Update: Sorry - Time is just really slow there :D

dlsym··on EveryoneAPI
There is something seriously wrong with the paperclip.
dlsym··on Show HN: A Google Calendar Door Sign
To power this with a battery a better solution would be to use a switching power supply. (For example a LTC3525 step up converter with two AA 1.5 V batteries.)

The linear voltage regulator basically turns 4V of the 9V block into heat. This is not really efficient.

dlsym··on Why it’s hard to find Android developers
Because the Android SDK sucks.

Can someone explain to me why all this physics demos always seem to run in slowmotion?

Yet another "booohooo JS language design sucks and I don't like it" post.

What year is this?

dlsym··on Twitpic is shutting down
Well... there is app.net - But honestly I don't think that anyone beyond a certain german podcast-bubble really uses this.
dlsym··on Twitpic is shutting down
> "A few weeks ago Twitter contacted our legal demanding that we abandon our trademark"

Guess it's time to abandon Twitter.
