I needed this so bad recently that I considered building it myself. Glad I don't have to.

I volunteer as a canine friend at the Berkeley East Bay Humane Society and it kills me to know that for every one of the dogs that they save (no kill policy), many other dogs who are just as sweet are put down. I've been volunteering there

You're 23. It's not too late to start doing anything. I was a sysadmin who started programming and building things around age 30. Last year I quit my senior dev position in S.F. to freelance and now I make more money working only 20 hours

I think they recently received 60 million of investment, so it's more than 3.

I'm not sure about Angular, but ember is definitely not based off of backbone (and probably not Angular either)

It's easier/cheaper for them to maintain and you have to pay for more dynos. A lot more.

I find it extremely useful to have a base foundation to start an app. Doing all of the mundane gem integrations and standard set-up is not fun. I agree that it's a challenge to keep the base app updated with improvements from the forks.

It seems impressive, and but is there really a risk in saying it?

Even more important is to go over every line and don't go on to the next line until you are sure you understand. Just like you can read without understanding you can type without understanding as well. Forcing yourself to understand will

Quit your job and go part-time freelance if your significant other has health insurance. You'll probably make more than you did working full-time. Use the rest of your time for projects/startups.

Not a complete success: One high-altitude balloon record is ...This discrepancy is likely caused by the fact that Baumgartner achieved significantly higher speeds than Kittinger, and so the free fall phase ended quicker than expected. Thi

If you do it right, you can support bookmarking pages and cmd-clicking links in your web apps. Also, an Ember app could be designed to function seamlessly with an intermittent connection where a normal website would just be unavailable. Als

Ember is primarily for web apps, not web sites. Apps that require a login are not concerned about crawlability. So, if you're just building websites, you are correct to not choose Ember.js. Also, it's trivial to have some pieces of your a

A woman at work had her bike stolen in SF (off the front of a bus if you can believe that) and decided to go to every flea-market she could find in Oakland that weekend. When she found the bike she just took it and dared the guy selling i

Heh, one of the first web apps I wrote was around 2002 and it ran on an NT4 box without a modification or a reboot until this year. I left the company 1.5 years ago and got a call from a supervisor asking me how to start it up again after a

The real douche bag move is to wait for something to become really successful and pervasive before sending the cease and desist. Padmapper has been around for a long time and now they decide to drop the hammer. Fuck craigslist.

Who wants to start a Kickstarter campaign to develop an open api/backend for classifieds? I'm in.

This is the whole reason I started foreverlist.com. Besides better/more photos, geolocation, comments, etc..., I always wanted to open up the api and let anyone develop on top of it. Alas, competing with craigslist is folly. I regret clo

Often, when we are pairing at work, the person driving is thinking out loud or the pair are in discussion with 8 other pairs in their row of tables.

I moved to SF from bumfuck Ohio (Swanton) last year and it was one of the best decisions of my life. Besides the great weather and quality if life here, the thing I enjoy most is being around people who "get it". Ohio wants microsoft and S

Normally I get this kind if post but this one not so much. Some knowledge isn't something you just "pick up". I'm a software engineer now but my degree it's in mechanical engineering. If I were going for a M.E. job that required advanced

"I am skeptical of the notion that many people who start learning to code in their 30s or even 20s will ever really grok the fundamental abstract notions of software architecture and design." This is an incredibly silly sentence.

I'm also surprised at the negativity. If you have an idea in isolation, that you haven't tried to validate yet, what evidence so you have that it's worthwhile? At the very least, YC has heard a lot of ideas and, presumably, are better at s
