How about more control over the software & configuration side of ELB as well? If you could control more things that nginx or haproxy let you control, I think there would be a lot less need for another routing mechanism behind ELB. In a

Umm, why is this post #1. this is obviously something related to a dev typo or pushing the wrong key. slow hacker news day maybe? :)

In theory, i like the idea but I can't see paying for an API like a service would generate as much money for them in the long run as their current ads strategy. API Services tend to cap out at a certain rate so then you need to start offer

You'd be surprised, "scaling" a database is something that more and more folks are having to do lately, with the onslaught of mobile apps and facebook apps and web apps, it's just a whole lot easier to create an application that gets hundre

Although I agree with the Facebook App sucking (and seeming to get worse and worse), I do feel like the article is a bit misguided. I don't give 100% blame to UIWebView and no-Nitro simply because the entire way Facebook has developed the

I don't think anyone is disputing the fact that guys in coffeeshops can't make successful startups. I don't think that is the point the author is trying to make. The ecosystem, much like the rest of the world, is centered on averages and

So the rendering is definitely faster but I think the biggest advantage to non-computer graphics engineers is in the available API's over the actual improvement in rendering time, at least with what I ended up doing with it.

Honestly, it was just a fun project that let me experiment with the new CoreImage API's, but also make something fun, polished and worth a buck. With the new camera in the iPhone4S and everyone upgrading to iOS5, the photo apps are going t

Ughh, the link is broken at the moment, stupid EC2 Elastic IP screwed up my instance and therefore my DNS. Here's a link to the app, http://bit.ly/spookify in the meantime...

The Wufoo guys just created a kick-ass product, they are really talented javascript and css engineers. Now it's common for a site to be streamlined with drag and drop interfaces, dynamic lists and the like, but a few years ago, those kinds

I guess most of your points make sense. I just feel like Yelp does very little to be open and transparent. I get that its very difficult, nobody ever said its easy to algorithmically guess review spam. But they clearly don't want users to

A quick and dirty solution could be to add something to the page using javascript after the page has loaded and only let the link work if that variable exists (and check the value of the key with the server, if you wanted to be more cautiou

Interesting article. I don't understand the filtered review system at all. Beyond the 'he said / she said' complaints that occasionally come out, there are things about their system that simply don't make any sense unless Yelp is incompete

Fun and sensitive question! Taxes certainly bite big time, especially on on an acquisition where its paid out as a bonus. Longest engineer at the company when the acquisition happened, exit was around ~200k, pre-tax.

Hmm, while the documentation does say this, in my experience the token never changes, even across app for a given device.

Whenever these ridiculously huge acquisitions take place, it's always the same. How can Google possibly think that 20 billion couldn't have created something far better than anything Motorola has to offer. They have the talent, the infras

The performance of the demo is awesome. Has anyone tried to do anything more complicated and tested performance. Would be fun to make a js game from this.

Does anyone know what javascript engine this game is using. It appears to be 'Enjine' but I can't seem to find any information about it.

Looks much much easier to use. CocosDenshion was a good idea but in practice it is flawed in the things that the author of this library talks about, which is that there are annoying bugs in iOS's and both audio engines (openAL & AVAudi
