Hi, I'm Italian too working in Milan, just wondering if you have any suggestions on how to get these kind of offers, i imagine they don't appear on public places like linkedin.

if you don't mind we can talk about it via email.

ga2arch | 7 years ago | on: Ask HN: Validate my startup idea for a personal knowledge store

Hi, thanks for commenting, the main difference would be that in evernote you have to structure your knowledge manually, by tagging, creating notebooks & co, here i'm proposing something that extracts info from every link/text you send. If you want to create a movie database, in evernote, you would have to manually insert every movie info you want to store and choose a sensible structure on how to store this data, with my idea you would just insert the link and all the extra data would be extracted and indexed allowing you then to search and create views.

this one has a ton of features https://github.com/FedeDP/ncursesFM well written and commented C code.

full list of features: https://github.com/FedeDP/ncursesFM/wiki/Getting-Started

just to name a few advanced ones:

* Search support: it will search your string in current directory tree. It can search your string inside archives too.

* Basic print support through libcups.

* Extract/compress files/folders through libarchive.

* Powermanagement inhibition while processing a job (eg: while pasting a file) to avoid data loss.

* Internal udisks2 monitor, to poll for new devices. It can automount new connected devices too. Device monitor will list only mountable devices, eg: dvd reader will not be listed until a cd/dvd is inserted.

* Drives/usb sticks/ISO files (un)mount through udisks2.

* Distro package files installation through packagekit.

Awesome, one of the most fun i had at university was building a Uri parser with prolog.

After i discovered that you could define operators i built a combinatorial parser, something akin to https://hackage.haskell.org/package/parsec (of course nowhere as powerful) with similar syntax and do notation. https://gist.github.com/ga2arch/e8904177f722c6560e37

And i didn't have to define backtracking because it is handled by prolog itself.

DEX has a 65K methods number limit, that's probably why they keep all the code inside the least amount of functions, resulting in that monstrosity.

i don't get the excitement for this 7 minutes workout, can't you just go in the gym for 1 hour 3 times a week and do some squats ?

aside from this the site looks good, simple and to the point, props for it.

https://github.com/ga2arch/py-hackernews/blob/master/hn.py ( it's not good code, but it does its job, i have successfully run it for 48+ hours with no crash ( at least the previous revision :D ))

if you need help just send me an email =)

Awesome work =)
