Thanks! I might have posted it too early in the day, I'll try again :-)

I can't believe this is getting upvotes on HN, this is buggy and a simple oneliner can do it.

I didn't pretend to make a perfect code but just a functional code, and I share it because it can maybe help people who would encounter the same problem as me.

Don’t feel bad! To get better at something, you must be bad at it first. Consider improvements from feedback in this thread.

Still, no linux client.

I am mystified as to why Google keeps ignoring Linux especially for Drive. Don't a non-trivial number of Google employees run Linux? It also rules out Drive for company wide deployment if any of the people are using Linux, since they will be excluded.

That is one thing Dropbox at least gets right.

If memory serves, Google runs a custom build of Ubuntu which they've never released--probably due to licensing with Canonical. My guess would be that the Linux Google Drive client may, too, have some restricted licensing. We do know they have one, however:

http://www.webupd8.org/2015/01/official-google-drive-linux-c...

Linux marketshare is around 1.5%, and I'd speculate those choosing Linux tend to be less willing to trust google/the cloud with their data than average.

It's just not worth it when the best-case outcome is indistinguishable from a rounding error,

You are talking about individual deployments where plain market share is reasonable. I'm talking about group deployments where multiple people need to work together. In that case the solution has to work for everyone.

~/Dropbox/ideas.txt adding new entries at the top of the file. I wonder how many thousand ideas.txt files are on Dropbox servers :)

for the .ro (Romania) domains this is not really true. the national domain registrar (rotld.ro) doesn't charge anything for updating name servers. probably the additional fees you're talking about are imposed by some third-party / reseller.

what I also found interesting or at least peculiar is that the Romanian registrar charges a one-time only fee for registering a domain and it has been doing so for as long as I know. you pay 50 Euros per domain but you get to keep it for your whole life or as long as they don't decide to charge on a yearly basis. I'm curious if there's any other domain provider offering lifetime registration?

That must have changed?

looks like 17 Euro/yr with breaks on longer terms

EDIT: I went to the English site tho, not rotld.ro - perhaps residents only get the better deal?

.dk danish domains is free. Where do you get that price from?

Those are charges of eurodns; I called them and they said that they're just passing on me what the registrar charge them.

EuroDNS is a registrar. Are you sure you are not mixing registry and registrar ?

Could you please provide the source of this information? As far as I know it is not true at least for .cz domains.

I spent quite a bit of time on AppLens, an icon matching app for iOS (take a photo of an icon --> download the app).

The backend (in C) is pretty fast and stable (current uptime 384 days) and it can be used for other types of images (i.e. not icons but photos, covers, etc.).

App Store link: http://bit.ly/Szmy7X

I stumbled over it few months ago and the issue was that readdir(), used by rm on the box I was using, by default alloc'd a small buffer (the usual 4KB) and with millions of files that turned in millions of syscalls (that's just to find out the files to delete).

A small program using getdents() with a large buffer (5MB or so) speeds it up a lot.

If you want to be kind to your hard drive then sorting the buffer by inode before running unlink()s will be better to access the disk semi-sequentially (less head jumps).

I made AppLens (formely AppSnap) a iphone app that lets you install any other iphone app by taking a picture of its icon (on other phones or laptop screens or anything else).

It's a free app + ads, most of its users are from china and japan.

Money-wise definitely not an hit!

I spent quite a bit on time to develop the backend part (in C) and optimized it to query 3mil icons in few ms on a commodity server (cheap).

Cool idea, liked it! Can you give some hints about the image processing you have done or what kind of trick did you use?

This is incredibly awesome.

Thanks!! :)

They don't like scrapers, they don't even allow links to their website without permission.

From their TOS:

"5. Links to this website. You may not establish and/or operate links to this website without the prior written consent of Ryanair."

Well, looks like HN is about to be sued into the ground. It was nice hanging out with you fine folks.

That's fairly standard legalese for large companies. I'm not saying it makes any sense, I'm just saying I've seen it a lot. I believe this is an attempt to lay some groundwork to support the removal of links from sites that you don't want any corporate association with.

Hopefully pg will remove the link, so HN isn't associated with Ryanair. ;-)

The entire web is based off linking. If they don't want linking, then they shouldn't use HTML and HTTP. "HT" stands for Hypertext https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertext

If you do link to their site, what can they do? Redirect to 404 or home page for external links?

Sue you?
