You could put them up for free on Craigslist (or equivalent) and have people come to you that would put them to use. They might be opportunists but that might still be ok to allow circulation of the value that they do have.

They even offer a hosted product now, so you won't have to worry about the ops side of things either.

Honestly, even though it has its problems, Meteor is relatively simple framework that will even spit out mobile apps for you. It's probably the least effort (i.e. lines of code) to get a halfway decent app out, and it's scaled ok

I was pretty surprised to see Zoe Lofgren's name pop up as an anti tax filing simplification advocate. She's the rep from CA's 19th District which covers San Jose (but not the rest of Silicon Valley) and generally a straight

Despite being a 1Password user myself, it's great that there's now a top-tier service being offered for free! The $1/month option is pretty awesome too

To be fair, the case I was testing was node, so the packages could be killing me. Could be much better for a standalone bundled application.

While it's nice to have small on-disk containers for some applications (e.g. deployment pipelines/CI), for production, I've found that Alpine doesn't save you much in RAM. I'd love to see this become something peopl

It's great that Five Thirty Eight called out the lack of rigor behind these studies. Most of them are indeed shoddy. However, that's not to say that we don't have a pretty good general idea of what's good for you. Here&#

The thing that always amazes me as I read about professional sports is how much mental strength and discipline is required by athletes. This story shows how much that mental strength is on the edge and susceptible to "injury", jus

That's a really good way of putting it by Warren Buffet. This phenomenon of the bottom being ignored happens in software too of course: http://www.saastr.com/the-simple-reason-why-there-will-be-10... "Salesforce i

Yeah, I think it's likely true in many affluent parts of the Muslim world that Ramadan, shall we say, enhances existing trends towards obesity. The irony is indeed morbidly amusing.

Nice to make your e-acquaintance. Counter-example: Fasted the last couple of years in a -20% calorie deficit. Did nap during the day, but then worked out right before iftar (dinner). It's not an uncommon regimen. Just like anything els

Definitely awesome first effort. Just keep on sharpening your skill and good things will happen. Mentoring will help accelerate your curve, which is what Recurse (or just a developer friend) can help with it. Good luck!

Just off the top of my head: 1. We will probably eventually need SQL 2. It might not make sense to be so JS heavy, especially since we are enterprise focused and may have to support older browsers for extended periods 3. General performance

Lots of startups looking for new talent, so you should be able to land a job with some work. The app you linked to is probably too small to generate interest though. Have you considered something like Recurse ( https://www.recurse

Definitely my biggest current beef with Meteor. It seems technically possible and I understand why they would go with Mongo first, so hopefully its just a matter of time.

While we're not a big startup, we are using Meteor in production ( https://www.getsubcurrent.com ). We picked it because it enabled us to move much faster than anything we had used in the past and while it has issues that I f
