fruiappson Tired of 10x? Here's the 0.1X(Point1X) Manifesto

Makes some sense to me. Tired and burnout, this probably is one solution. 0.1X!

fruiappson Zapier integration process more severe than big-techs.

and is demonstrating the kind of monopoly, that even big-techs are shy of.

fruiappson Zapier integration process more severe than big-techs.

well there's a bunch.

Flogo - https://github.com/tibcosoftware/flogo

Huginn - https://github.com/huginn/huginn

DataFire - https://github.com/DataFire/DataFire

And yes, none of them as complicated as Zapier, which is kind of running a monopoly iPass, exploiting each integration provider.

fruiappson Ask HN: Should I Re-Brand?

This is a great opportunity. Tech and business journalists / bloggers / podcasters will want to talk about it. It won't be the big story, but a fun side-piece to chat about before the big story, or something.

Make sure you put out an official PR statement when you have your new name and send it out to as many journalists and pundits you can find. If you have a Twitter, definitely post the announcement there. If you don't have Twitter, get one right now.

Interesting! Do you have something on NBA, as well?

Have you also tried, something other than plotly?

fruiappson Setup EC2 Instance Management with Ansible and 10 Commands

Could you also talk a bit of detail as to how, once the setup has been done, one can go about provisioning the EC2 instance? In fact, provisioning instances, setting up softwares and packages are what are important.

Would like to hear the thoughts on those lines.

fruiappson How to Use Ansible to Provision a PostgreSQL Server

Thanks, corrected!

fruiappson How deep are your unit tests?

do it for more projects, don't you think the first time you did anything it took helluva time??

fruiappson How deep are your unit tests?

if rms read it, he would suggest editing GNU+Linux to GNU/Linux.

fruiappson How deep are your unit tests?

Testing is something I do a lot, and like talking about a lot as well. There are no hard and fast answers to testing, like other stuff, there are lots of opinions(they are like assholes, everyone has them, and the others' stinks) about testing. So here goes mine(not necessarily correct, but worth putting them here). I am putting them as one liners, let me know your thoughts.

1. What do you mean by unit in unit tests?

An implementation of very basic feature, probably not more than 100 lines of code.

2. What do you test when you write a unit test?

We test the basic correctness, eg. given a url, if it exists assert 200, if not assert 404.

3. What should not be tested?

The inbuilt libraries should not be tested. Eg. If you are using a library say django, you should assume it comes pre tested and should not spend time writing tests for them.

4. What should be the depth of the tests?

There are no rules, but you should stop when you feel like you are humming inception theme.

fruiappson Google App Engine 1.7.0 available to download

Only Python Stuff below: They have depricated the support for djangoforms in the Python SDK, and hence here is my stint trying WTForms with app engine: http://blog.fruiapps.com/2012/06/Modelforms-for-appengine-mo...

I wish they include support for IPython as well. That would make things far more easier and comfortable. I wish

fruiappson Show HN: Similar application in different python frameworks

Thanks, included that as the next thing in the todo list, i would also appreciate any pull requests.

fruiappson Ask HN:Becoming a application developer from a scientific programming background?

I was exactly in the same position few years back. I was a non computer science grad, but i had decent amount of coding experience and algorithm design, but only that. No theory courses in Networking, Operating System or even DBMS. I wanted to make web apps, and wanted it hard. So the few things i learnt were: you need to know basic HTML, CSS. Server Side Scripting: PHP/Python/Ruby Client Side Scripting: Javascript(jQuery is the new JavaScript) You should also know the terms like DNS, CNAME etc. so that you can put your content on a web server to start of with a shared hosting from any provider would be good.

But the above will only let you make very basic apps. If you want to make slightly more complex things, there are Content Management Solutions like Wordpress, Joomla or Drupal. (these are amongst the most popular ones, they have readymade plugins so if your only motive is to get a site up and running, they will serve the purpose.)

If you want more customization you might have to learn MVC frameworks. Here(http://blog.fruiapps.com/2012/04/Understanding-MVC-Architect...) i have written a basic tutorial on MVC. The popular frameworks are Ruby on Rails Django (Python) CodeIgnitor(PHP) BackBone (JS) My rule of thumb for deciding is: Get a hang of a server side scripting language(PHP/Python/Ruby), choose the framework in that particular language.

Another most important rule that you should keep in mind is: All that you want to do has been done, you need to assemble it your way!! Learn to copy, modify and paste to suit your needs. Don't be afraid of any implementation it will be out somewhere there. Thats it, hope it helps.

fruiappson Show HN: Extend reddit's comment ranking system to rank players.

Probably yes, once the system gets matured and we have something that is fault-proof. We would love to share. Probably we will try with Trueskill, ELO and glicko and see how each of them works. For now if you wish to see the code its some 4 lines of python, 4 lines is too short for a library ;)
