How expensive is SF rent? Use Unix commands to find outhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10597772How expensive is SF rent? Here's a coding challenge that uses Unix command line tools to find out.Hacker friends suggested I post the result and code here because I'm writing open source statistics software and this is a practical example of results and code.The results for a one bedroom in SF: mean $3348, median $3475, interquartile range $1514, and standard deviation $1130.How to use Unix commands to find out: use `curl` to fetch Craigslist apartment listings, then `sed`, `grep`, and `tr` to filter and parse the data, then `num` to calculate the statistics. curl -s http://sfbay.craigslist.org/search/sfc/apa\?min_price\=1\&bedrooms\=1 | sed 's/\(Nov 19, 2015 9:20 PM

Ask HN: Need of a much better GitHub/Gitlab?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7618161Github [1] has become slow and the hosted solution (enterprise version) is too costly, so we have been using Gitlab which is a Github like repository hosting platform that also has issue tracking and merge/pull request based workflow and integration with its CI (gitlab-ci project).In the past couple of months, we've been facing a lot of problems for example -- Gitlab has broken our development workflow (due to bugs in it), the web hooks would stop working, the merge request diffs would be too slow to load, sometimes the ruby based backend would blow up and give us 500 etc. So, we've started working on a single page webapp based on Go and AngularJS that just does minimalistic things that we need. We wanted a tool that is easy to manage and install so we chose Go (single binary) and we wanted to keep the frontend easy to implement and use so we chose AngularJS (single page app).What are the pain points you've faced while using these tools, and what features etc. you want in it and will yApr 20, 2014 7:30 PM

Ask HN: Pre-hackathon jittershttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5631622I'm signed up to go to my first hackathon in Nashville (www.hacknashville.com) this weekend, which I heard about through the Memphis python user group (someone posted it in the google group, though it looks like no one from that group is going). I don't expect to know anyone at the event, have no job, development, or relevant projects to show off, and am a little self-conscious about whether I'll feel really out of place and outpaced. I do have a CS degree and think I'm decent at Python, have a pretty wide (but not necessarily deep) knowledge of other languages, tools, and frameworks, and am generally pretty personable, but am having second thoughts about going. The event is 'sold' out (it was free, but all the registration spots are full) and there is a waitlist for cancellations, so I should probably let them know ASAP if I'm not going to make it.Does anyone have any thoughts or words to put me at ease? Or would you suggest giving up the spot to someone better qualified? My goals forApr 30, 2013 12:06 PM

Ask HN: Review my idea - Hosting SEOhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3690713Background: This idea was borne out of an internal tool I created to figure out and validate SEO strategies for websites I own. I figure since it works for me, I could try and sell this to a different industry/niche - in this case 'hosting'. This tool currently does not have an UI - I run sql queries directly on the mysql server to get my information. I have created a mockup UI to show how I expect it to work.UI for explaining the app functionality - http://axemantech.com/HostingSEO/Pain point it solves: Currently there are many seo apps that show serp rankings, on page and off page seo stats but seting up the system is generally painful. I dislike having to add keywords for my website, add data for my competitors, etc. This generally happens because these SEO apps are generic.How to solve this: Since this app focuses on a specific niche, it will already be setup with all the potential keywords for the niche (and will continously add new ones). All the data that the customers (people pMar 11, 2012 5:25 PM
