Have you considered having some lower levels on Patreon? I liked the sound of your book so went over to your page, but $30 per month minimum isn't something I would want to pay. I suspect others will feel the same.

In MAIN.agc there is a list of bugger words. Not that I know assembly in any meaningful way, but I've never come across this term before. On Googling, it seems to be something to do with a checksum value?

I literally shuddered when I read this. Significant whitespace to me is one of the fundamental parts of Python that if messed with, makes it not Python. Perhaps this will make it slightly easier for people coming from PHP, Javascript or one

My first thought on reading this was "wow, two clients a week!" I've never got to grips with the client acquisition process, it's always been hit and miss and somewhat random for me. Could someone point me in the directi

I remember when I was a kid, my dad used to line the edge of the bowl with cucumber so he could pile the salad a bit higher. But this is a whole new level. I doubt that everyone in China was doing this. I imagine you'd be standing at t

I had a screenshot on the front page before, but replaced it with the intro video. I should probably create a tour page, with screenshots of various parts of the app. SSL is coming soon. Thanks for the feedback.

I like the thought of a Forever Company. Often we start businesses to sell it, and then to start on something else. In a way the forever company is you, 'Me Inc' as it were. Hopefully forever building and growing.

It says there are 13,000 licences for black and white TV's, so I wonder how many of those are just trying to get their licences cheap but actually own a colour TV.

I generally hate anything christmassy before December 1st, but after that point, it's fair game. That includes mince pies.

That's a feature I might add, location of consumption. Thanks.

I did consider that, but it would be far too easy to just put #mpt #eaten 10000. So I left it as 1 per tweet.

I loved that show, but it only ran for 2 seasons I think. Shame.

I'm currently creating a product using the Tornadio2 wrapper. The developer Serge is actively developing, and is very helpful. HAProxy is often used for load balancing websockets as it supports tcp proxies. There is a tcp module for nginx

+1 for tornado. And I also use Tornadio, which implements the backend for Socket.io.

One solution I rarely see mentioned in these discussions is Amazon payments. Does anyone use them?

Most comment threads that I see on HN, by and large, contain both sides to any argument. They're like a conversation you might have with a friend, one person gives their opinion, the other perhaps gives the opposing argument and so on. But

Thanks Mike, that's helped me see where I need to focus my attention. I was looking at direct webcam recording, but was going to add that later. But given your comments I think that is a must now, to enable quick and seamless video comment

Thanks for the comments Matt. Having at least one person say 'I would use this' is a nice boost! I wasn't going to have it exclusively for guitar, but musical instrument lessons are an ideal fit for video feedback. I'm sure there are other

Thanks Mike! Would you be able to give me some feedback on a product idea I'm working on? Its a platform for video tutorials where the student gives their response for a lesson via video also. The first use case that comes to mind is guitar

Did a quick search and found this: http://www.asian-central.com/stuffasianpeoplelike/2008/03/17... Essentially, they are seen as the most 'refined' instruments to learn and play. The piano is chosen as you need to learn both treble and ba

I'm with you there. It's not often that so much can be wrapped up in just 4 words.

It would be more impressive if the site was actually running on the original server and software, but I imagine that machine is safely tucked away in their museum.

This is encouraging to those looking for ideas for startups, it basically means that someone will find your idea 'amazing' or 'genius'. The trick is, not just finding 1 person, but many people who think it. And not only that it's amazing,

Thanks for that post, excellent. It's quite comforting, yet scary at the same time, to realise that the stuff you know you don't know is probably going to grow throughout your life, but that this is a good thing! Because it beats the hell
