jstoiko··on Show HN: An algorithm to automatically turn photos of food into faces
So does megabyte and megabit. Grow up! ;)
jstoiko··on Huginn – Build agents that monitor and act on your behalf
Check Ramses [1][2] + Elastalert [3]. I'll be happy to help.

jstoiko··on Elon Musk Says SpaceX Will Send People to Mars by 2025
> Musk thinks it's vital for mankind to create a self-sustaining city on Mars to protect against human extinction

Wouldn't it be more economical to try to save our planet first?

jstoiko··on Use JSON files as if they are Python modules
My favorite is this issue: https://github.com/kragniz/json-sempai/issues/7

> Ever since I saw this I have been unable to sleep. Please fix.

"Sign the Petition for Better Oversight for Federal Attorney Misconduct"

jstoiko··on FreeBSD Jails the hard way
It has. Jails have always been very popular in the FreeBSD world.
jstoiko··on A platform to pay for OpenSource Support to finance OS work?
IMO, this is one of the biggest missed opportunities for Github. It should come-up with a way for maintainers to ask for cash on its issue pages.
jstoiko··on Animals think, therefore...
Until today, it is believed that self-awareness is what distinguishes humans from other species. If ever that gets debunked, I think that would be the start of the end of meat consumption.
jstoiko··on New Zealand court rules Kim Dotcom can be extradited to US
This is the end of the dotcom era.
jstoiko··on Best API code generator
I've used https://github.com/mulesoft-labs/raml-generator it let's you define your templates in handlebar.

I kinda favor the parsing/runtime concept over codegen. I find codegen hard to maintain.

What are you trying to achieve?

jstoiko··on He Blew the Whistle at JPMorgan Chase, Then Came the Blowback
> That may mean a big payday for Mr. Burris. If the S.E.C. deems he gave it “original information” the leads to a successful enforcement action, he ... would be entitled to a bounty of ... $20 million to $60 million.

I wasn't aware the S.E.C. had a bounty program in place. That's quite the amount, probably more than he could have made in a lifetime at JP Morgan.

jstoiko··on Twilio IP Messaging: Now in Open Beta
I used realtime.co and pubnub before. I wonder how Twilio's IP Messaging compares.
jstoiko··on Ask HN: Which open source projects have kind, supportive, talented teams?
Aren't these mandatory qualities in the open source world?

If you enjoy Python, RESTish APIs and all sorts of database backends, you can checkout http://Ramses.tech a project that I'm involved with.

jstoiko··on Cards Against Humanity Has Made Over $54K Selling Nothing on Black Friday
I love the idea and kudos to CaH for nailing the against-the-wind trend. However one questions came to mind. Is that legal? Can someone actually sell "nothing" without calling it a donation?
jstoiko··on Please petition GitHub to support HTTPS on GitHub pages
Maybe let people star a dedicated repo instead of sending an email to github.
jstoiko··on Re-base: A Relay inspired library for building React.js and Firebase applications
If you don't want to rely on a 3rd party service for your backend, there are tons of OS options.

This one reads json-schemas and spits out a backend API. The same schemas can be used on the client for extra convenience.

jstoiko··on Show HN: ied – an alternative package manager for Node
How about "package"?

'$ package install ...'

jstoiko··on Bug: Cat sitting on keyboard crashes lightdm
We sometimes underestimate the important role of cats in fighting bugs.
jstoiko··on The work from home Slack bot
Nice. It's spot on. I'll suggest it to a company who's just getting setup with a wfo "policy".

As a side note, it struck me that it should be PATCH /workers/id or PATCH /workers/email instead of PUT /workers...

Thanks for sharing!

jstoiko··on Six years of Go
Would you care to share some code example?
jstoiko··on Show HN: Pings 8000 servers in 11 seconds: Parallel HTTP/SSH/TCP/Ping library
Looks really cool. Thanks for sharing!

I think what Uberneo is asking is whether Parallec would handle the html parsing like Scrapy. I believe the answer is no. You wouldn't want to slow down Parallec with parsing though, you would rather send the html output to some other process for that, right?

jstoiko··on Google's Secret Screenshot API
This is great. Thanks for sharing.

1) I know that google caches those thumbnails and returns a thumbnail instantly when it does have a cached version, do you know what happens when it does not?

2) have you come across any rate limit?

jstoiko··on Ask HN: API Development using Node.js versus Django, Clojure?
Hey cameron, you can build APIs in minutes using Ramses http://ramses.tech, it's python.

It takes a RAML file and spits out a production-ready API. It supports Postgres, Mongo and Elasticsearch our-of-the-box.

AMA, I'm a core dev, and happy to help.

jstoiko··on Ask HN: Are there API centric frameworks that have the same traction as Rails?
Ramses is trying to solve that by using a RAML file as source of truth. Regardless of the level of restfulness of your API, what you spec is what you get. Well, that's the ultimate goal, right now it has limitations and opinions but we're trying to solve them. I'm a core dev btw.

Let me know you thoughts!

jstoiko··on Stop forcing arbitrary password rules
Combination of words are the way to go. Often, when I tell people that, they seem to get stuck probably because that's not what they've been used to doing. I would be inclined to give some kind of hint to the user: "a good password, easy to remember: pick at least 4 random words and separate them by a character of your choice."
jstoiko··on Gitlist.io – Get Daily Best Repos and Gits Around the Globe
Nice. Very similar to https://githunt.io

Btw, I had an issue logging-in with my username after signing up. It wouldn't let me, I had to use my email instead.

Edit: When I submitted a new "git", I found the "Add a new git" input confusing, also, I tried to add a few hashtags, space-separated, but it did not work, it added one big hashtag... I hope this is useful feedback.

jstoiko··on Analyzing gender inequality with an Elasticsearch-powered API

jstoiko··on API Tooling Companies: We Are Watching You
API spec-ing can be so powerful when using the right tools. From a single source of truth, one can get: docs, generated SDKs (both backend/frontend) and functional tests.

Full disclosure: I'm the co-author of http://ramses.tech an API framework written in Python (on top of Pyramid for those interested to know) that generates a full blown API from a RAML file.

jstoiko··on I am Sam Altman, President of Y Combinator – AMA

jstoiko··on Introducing Our New Canadian Datacenter: TOR1
I like the name. Does it suggest anything aside from where the city where it's located?
