Ask HN: Who has the best screaming vocal in music nowadays?

I discovered Devin Townsend and I love the use of contrast, especially during acoustic contracts. Reminds me Slipknot. What are you recommendations for more artists like that?

Ask HN: Comparison of all ML algos – does anyone remember the page URL?

There was a cool page linked on HackerNews several months ago. It had grid of icons demonstrating all ML algos and I think where/when can one use one of them. I forgot to bookmark it. Can anyone shed some light on it?

It looked similar to sklearn user guide, but had smaller icons..

I owe you pizza if you help me :)

Ask HN: Do startups still focus on obtaining patents nowadays (2017)?

Cost of the fees can be $10k+. Typically one has no $$$ to actually execute and enforce a patent. It looks like to have a startup with IP protected by some legal paper, but realistically it's useless. Do patents even increase the valuation?

In other words: is it still worth to bother about thinking about patenting in a startup?

Ask HN: List of standardized front-matter fields for static generators?

I forgot where on GitHub did I see it, but someone made a list of frontmatter fields with their most common meaning. So it listed stuff like: "title", "author", ..., and some more exotic stuff people came up with.

But I didn't bookmark it :-(

Does anyone have a link to this repo?

Ask HN: How do you drive traffic to your landing page?

Just wondering if Google Ads or Carbon Ads are the way to go, or would you rather try to put some targeted blog posts on the site.. Basically wondering how to get users to validate the idea

Ask HN: What are some sites resembling look and feel of PinBoard?

I like it's minimalistic design and lack of BS. Wondering if you know any other sites like that. No matter if paid/free and whether it's business or not.

Ask HN: How much work do you put into MVP?

Wondering how much work you've put into MVP to validate your idea, and how did you do it: mockup, video, prototype, doing stuff by hand with a primitive system.

Ask HN: Any Winamp alternatives for macOS?

The iTunes drama is over for me and I'm looking for a replacement--in the perfect case something that is like WinAmp, but for macOS. I miss WinAmp. It just worked, was hassle-free and wasn't changing.

Ask HN: What are the biggest databases you've worked with?

Originally thinking about SQL databases done with PostgresSQL/MySQL, but would be interested in anything. Wondering about number of queries/transactions per second, and how you handled that scale.
