Show HN: Nice Nice JPG
- timboisvert 14y agoToday we launched Nice Nice JPG, a Vanilla Ice image placeholder service. I've been a dedicated Placekitten user for years but wanted an excuse to write my own, and I had that stack of Vanilla Ice pics filling my hard drive, so it seemed like a good choice. In the end, though, this really was/is an exercise to prove out the value of Amazon's new OpsWorks service in our development shop. Initial thoughts are VERY positive: it sits nicely between the type of experience you'd have on Heroku and the full hosted or EC2 experience. You get some control, but not too much. We'll be deploying our next major content platform on OpsWorks for sure. So... check out NiceNiceJPG (http://nicenicejpg.com http://nicenicejpg.com) and check out AWS OpsWorks (https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2013/02/18/announcing-aws-opsworks/ https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2013/02/18/announ...).
- justin_vanw 14y agoThis site flows like a harpoon. Will it ever stop? Edit: Really? People are moderating this comment down? Why are you even looking at this thread if you have no sense of humor? What a bunch of joyless assholes.
- flexxaeon 14y agoYo, I don't know.
- rartichoke 14y agoTurn off the lights and I'll glow.
- codebeard 14y ago"stack of Vanilla Ice pics filling my hard drive" A problem surely we've all encountered at some point of another.
- latterd 14y agoGood, now stop, collaborate and listen :)
- nicksergeant 14y agoWhat does this offer that https://imgix.com https://imgix.com doesn't?
- nicksergeant 14y agoEh, corrected link: http://www.imgix.com/ http://www.imgix.com/

- dljsjr 14y agoAssuming that imgix doesn't have any Vanilla Ice and 90's era Mustang photos, then this offers infinity percent more Vanilla Ice and 90's era Mustang photos.
- DavidBradbury 14y agoInfinity * 0 = 0 bro. So clearly it offers zero more percent Vanilla Ice and 90's era Mustang photos.
- ygra 14y agoActually, ∞ ⋅ 0 is undefined.
- DavidBradbury 14y agoSorry, let me phrase it differently. lim(x → ∞) x ⋅ 0 = 0
- timboisvert 14y agoDone imgix.com have Vanilla Ice pics? If not, the answer is clear. :D
- teach 14y agoVanilla Ice? Not having to provide your own photos? No "pricing"?
- william_uk 14y agoThis is awesome.
- Aco- 14y agoupdate your about tim :P
- timboisvert 14y agoDone.
- Aco- 14y agoWow, it was easier than I thought to make you do things. Is your CPU a 'learning computer'? I gotta test this out: Tim, buy me a beer. :P
- emillon 14y agoWhat is the licensing information for these pictures?
- thoughtcriminal 14y agoIsn't the point to solve a pain, not create one?

- timboisvert 14y agoGah. Thanks. I was checking the upper bounds but spaced the lower-bound 0 case. Fix is on its way up.
- dsschnau 14y agoThis absolutely and completely made my day. Thank you.
- mrgreenfur 14y agoSite is ... hackernewsed?
