Awesome project. Browser technology is on a tear recently, and terminals are ripe for innovation. For a newborn project, this is an impressive mashup. The number of dismissive people in this thread shows how disruptive this idea is!

Full stack web servers like Mongrel or CherryPy. Server fabrication and automation tools like Chef, Puppet, Fabric. Process management tools like God. Parallel worker systems like Resque or Celery. PHP is great for web apps, but the further

Has anyone ever experimented with deleting/disabling features on an Android phone? I'm always curious what it'd be like to have a "smart" phone with no email or web browser, but still GPS and a camera. I'd like to work on my nervous habit o

Hiring only the best is impractical unless you are Google and can pay the best for the best. A much more practical strategy: hire people that can learn, and train them in best practices.

Food for thought for sure. True, nothing can get better forever... But do we believe in "economy of scale" for computer and Internet systems in this age? Google, Amazon, Facebook, etc. have already proven to me that they have enough human a

These outages are very rough. Clearly a lot of the Internet is building out on AWS, and not using multiple zones correctly in the first place. But AWS can have multi-zone problems too as we see here. Nobody is perfect. But what people forge

I see your point, but who is uploading videos to Google then deleting the source? These services are for sharing and streaming, not archiving. I don't work for Google but I do work on large scale data hosting. When you shut a service down y

There is so much abandoned and bullshit video on there, it couldn't possibly be worth it.

Respect. Edit: not a good comment for HN. More: it was a great service, and it had a good run. And mad respect for Google for running it well but shutting it down gracefully.

In thinking back, that's exactly why I picked 4. I just clicked whatever was closest because I wasn't even thinking about the exercise.

No problem. Love the script.

If it's static, serve it directly from S3, and turn on cloudfront for even better delivery.

Congrats! I hope OKCupid still publishes those awesome posts about the statistics of dating, those are fascinating.

Companies reserve the right to fire customers. I respect this attitude.

I think I have more than 20 components using Sendgrid. I forget what and where because it's been working like magic for so long. Also the free Sendgrid addon for Heroku is a dream for throwaway apps. My time is quite valuable, and the cost

Great read. I agree with less immersion in 3D films. I saw Pixar's "Up" in 3D. Such a touching story. But at the sad scenes, when my eyes started to water up, I became super conscious of the fact that I had silly oversized glasses on my f

I'm quite tired of these posts, but HN appears to love them. If you don't like a company, don't invest in it, and don't use it's products. But it's not your duty to scare other people away, especially not by reading tea leaves. First, any a

The only problem I see is the iPhone and iPad. All other browsers are open enough to get native support or have a plugin. Android phones will have support. Who knows or cares what happens on WP7... Google is taking a stand. It is annoying t

I've been feeling that the Internet hurts my mental health. Filling my brain with HN, Reddit, DrudgeReport, Twitter, Facebook, email, chat, etc., is exhausting. And this is on top of the massive amounts of code I digest when I am being prod

A tautology, no? He wouldn't use Debian if he did have problems. I get neck deep in large Ruby deployments and the issue is clear to me. Ruby is evolving at a breakneck speed but as a result has very poor release management. My solution: Us

It's a matter of risk. Think of it like a house... Renting vs buying vs building one. All strategies have their benefits. Renting you let someone else maintain the property and can walk away at any time. This is what CloudKick's current cus

A much better summary of the service than the techcrunch article: http://www.destinationcrm.com/Articles/CRM-News/Daily-News/S... The enterprise security compliance can not be understated. This is an extremely powerful service that any of

Maybe it's too expensive for a cash strapped startup, but SalesForce is Enterprise with a capital E. This product is very powerful and is going to be extremely lucrative, but won't ever be interesting to most of us hackers.

I have a friend that had a true nervous breakdown recently. He's been out of work for 2 years and was essentially living on the street because he has no money and no family to help. You are doing fine in comparison. There is almost always n

We do almost exactly this at my company and it works wonders. Presentations are not about powerpoint. They are about geeks geeking out with other geeks. Every talented programmer I know has a pet project he'd love to talk your ear off about
