I've made an app & website that lets you quickly try out java snippets on android, e.g. if you see a code snippet on stack overflow you can just copy paste it and throw it in and let it run on your phone. But I didn't continue with it because no one uses it :)

I always wanted this, typing paths is so annoying. I think the command line got stuck in the last millennium. So much things could be automated there, especially command completion. Why do I have to remember the stupid -xfv parameters for tar or whatever. Computers should be like magic.
What could be improved:
if I type
"nano <ctrl f> index."
I see some index.js files but not my index.html file from my node project.
Ah ok it's in a different folder, but it would be cool if it showed anyways.
ex ()
{
if [ -f $1 ] ; then
case $1 in
*.tar.bz2) tar xjf $1 ;;
*.tar.gz) tar xzf $1 ;;
*.bz2) bunzip2 $1 ;;
*.rar) unrar x $1 ;;
*.gz) gunzip $1 ;;
*.tar) tar xf $1 ;;
*.tbz2) tar xjf $1 ;;
*.tgz) tar xzf $1 ;;
*.zip) unzip $1 ;;
*.Z) uncompress $1;;
*.7z) 7z x $1 ;;
*) echo "'$1' cannot be extracted via ex()" ;;
esac
else
echo "'$1' is not a valid file"
fi
}
When I think about it, it feels like there is some sort of mental barrier that I have to overcome to make plans with strangers. Maybe when the meetups would be less personal like 20 random people going to a bar or club, I'd rather join in on something. Then nobody would realize if I leave, but if I bond with some people its fine.
When you meet a stranger, the actual purpose of small talk is to try to find some common ground. Some people are better at it than others (I am horrible)... but if some common ground can be established, both people will have an easier time making conversation. That's why so many meetups are centered around an activity/topic. I would much rather attend a group of "20 random people that list kayaking as a sport they enjoy" than "20 random people".
That's a good point, completely random would be too much, at least the age should be somewhat similar and maybe the place to meet is also a context, e.g. a bar already indicates a form of interest, different than meeting in the water park.
I'm sure the HN community can help you with this issue. There are a few platforms like PhoneGap that allow you to develop mobile apps on multiple devices using one codebase.
It searches reddit for whatever the user queries. Reddit returns up to 100 threads. I then choose a thread and take the top comment.
The neural network predicts which thread is most likely to produce a satisfying answer. The main features are number of n-gram matches with the question, the score, the number of comments, and some other metadata.
It's far from optimal but it does improve it a bit.
I made a bash function for easier alias binding. It makes aliases immediately available and permanent. Also you don't need quotes so you can use tab completion etc. It goes like this:
When I realize I type a command often, I just push the up arrow to get the command again, append "ali" infront of it and turn it to an alias. Works direclty.
And of course the alias to show the list of all aliases:
Once you get past how hard it is to find the thread of conversation, this thing is awesome.
It is basically like chatting accompanied by automatically selected reaction GIFS.
If it were converted to a forum of some sort, you'd basically have an even lower-effort 4chan.
Well, I have been using your app for about 20 minutes now, and it sure does what it is supposed to do. The most annoying thing I have used in a long time!
that was my inspiration for http://shizz.it
shizz.it allows people to create http://👿.shizz.it or any other emoji character mix, as a subdomain, which is then redirected to any other URL. Thus link forwarding.
By making use of emoji in subdomains, you can get around the restriction of no emoji in domains or TLDs.

It would be immensely useful if I could directly download them in that size.
