Audio production and engineering as well. The more plugins that can be run in real time (rather than baked) the less overhead in managing the ever growing complexity of modern electronic music projects, especially with ever increasingly CPU

So tired of this meme. Humans are like a virus in the way that every species on the planet is like a virus. Look no further than invasive species to see that any form of life given the ability to expand it's population will do exactly that.

Isn't Buzz their twitter-like product? Now Buzz has hardly been a success, but it would be interesting to see how they can integrate it with Google+ since it has such a different model for communication. I am not using Buzz, so if I am wron

I thought it looked nice, but then again I am on a fast enough connection that the wait was not really discernible.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention! I have a thing I like to do with friends called I call 'song sharing' in which we listen to the same song at the same time and write what we are picturing from the music. Once the song is over we al

I think HN gives off the impression that most people own company or freelance due to the content, but it is a bit of a filter effect. Similar to how everyone is living amazing awesome lives on facebook.

I feel similar to you. I wonder if being on HN is healthy for me. It exposes me to lots of new concepts and technologies, but only on a very superficial level since I am not diving into it... And it has a cost of feeding into an inferiority

Nice, that is extremely quotable. Does it come from something/someone?

I can't speak for the grandparent, but we use a similar system here and also on SVN. We have a 'core' team and a number of 'project' teams. Every team works in it's own branch, which is branched off of the trunk. The trunk is kept in a stab

Dropbox and external HDs for now. Trying out AeroFS as a possible migration path; I have outgrown the reasonable price point of cloud storage.

I believe I understand the intention of this entire thread: in order to flush out good advice try to first highlight 'bad advice'. However I hope that all those who read it and all those who posted in it remember something very important. R

"We’ve effectively hired them to deal with managing the hard parts of our scaleability infrastructure and they are working for a fraction of what it would cost to do this ourselves." This, in my mind, is the most insightful line in this pos

To be fair, AWS does have a free level of EC2 instances now, right?

It is an interesting conundrum right now. I am considering investing in using Ruby/Rails DUE TO Heroku. If djangy was ready and of comparable quality it would be an easy choice for me (I am comfortable in python, completely new to Ruby/Rail

I find that I simply can't use ebooks. Sitting and reading on a computer monitor for long periods of time is just too much strain on my eyes. Funny enough that I don't have as much issue coding all day or reading hackernews.. but if I sit a

This made me realize just how strongly Google is tied to the success of 'the internet' vs the traditional desktop. There isn't much in their strategy that doesn't make sense if you stop trying to figure out how it ties into seach/advertisin

I am looking forward to trying this out. I have been a complete convert to Swype since getting my DroidX, so I am totally sold on the idea of trying new interfaces.

It's still dangerous to them. They are the de-facto standard for Flash creation tools, but there is a much larger ecosystem for HTML5/Javascript tools. Even discounting existing HTML5/Javascript tool users who may or may not have a grudge a

Not unique to it, but it is implicit in it. This matters. If you are at the size where you can't have a dedicated staff monitoring your uptime 24/7 than you are at the size where a cloud solution is going to be more responsive than what you

Are there any companies that provide 'server host failure' insurance for instances like this? It seems like a possible opportunity.

I find this to be an interesting case study in the failure of .NET and WPF to deliver on their promises. It's a sample size of 1 and all, but it's one of the first examples I have seen where a client was written from scratch in .NET/WPF and

You are describing my work flow already and I didn't even need to install this. I only needed to check HN enough times when I hit compile that it is now some sort of a muscle-memory reflex.

Posting an article as a comment due to it's relevancy without even a link to the HN submission for said article is awesome and self-less, but my redundancy-hating-programmer-brain wishes you had just posted a link to the submission. My brai

Your point about Android development may be the reason this move occurred. The IOS vs Android war is at full steam right now and Apple is known to be the aggressor in it thus far.

Or it supports X language provided by Y plugin and per-line versioning elsewhere. Does a python programmer care if his magical VCS tool doesn't understand the semantics of !python code? I think the parent's suggestion is quite novel!

The ubiquitous browser zoom is especially important, thanks for pointing this out! I do a lot of my web browsing from my couch with an atom powered desktop hooked up to the TV. I hate eye strain so I browser-zoom constantly.. And it is real

There may be problems, as others have pointed out, but it still seems like a valuable tool for me. After all, I don't need it to be perfectly accurate.. just ballpark accurate in order to take advantage of it. Please do Austin. :)

Make the old customers part of a 'legacy' tier which allows them to continue to pay the same and receive the same, but don't allow new customers to join that. Put new customers in the 'fancy shmancy' tier and allow old customers to migrate
