   Until elastic beanstalk supports time scheduled scaling, I will be sad. Every morning my app servers go from zero to a million miles an hour and it takes about 20 minutes to scale up. Does anyone actually use this at scale?

   Nice work! This has pretty excellent documentation. Like really excellent documentation. But jumping into the code itself is a little bit of a beast with no tests or comments. so: is testing on your roadmap?

   what are tags? Are there plans for in-itch discovery? As a buyer, the front page doesn't really help me at all. as a seller, I can see the use case. Maybe integration with online arcades? kongregate, for example.

   Scanners are great. Who has a scanner these days? I appreciate that there might be a better solution, but this seems pretty pragmatic. And looking at the results, it also is pretty damn good.

    I'm amazed this post was so popular. A populist point "let's shut down the TSA" is supported by a series of really poorly thought out and subjectively supported arguments. Mind you, I agree that the TSA introduces unprecedented invasions o

    Give us some concrete examples of tough decisions with obvious objective upside? Also: A lot of what makes it hard to be a founder is not the shame of failure, but knowledge of lost time. If my company goes under, I'm not as disappointed in

    either, really. not much of a stateful backend but it's a nice toy in javascript.

    I learned JavaScript but as soon as I understood the capabilities (but before I mastered usage) I decided to do all of my work in CoffeeScript. I find it much cleaner / easier to write and I don't really see a downside to using it instead.

    I guess I'm not impressed by first mover advantage. I like second mover advantage. First mover advantage is subject to too many problems. Confirmation bias. Unseen players which make the better solution infeasible. etc. In the end, exe

    I wonder how many of these comments are based on experience hiring. The challenge isn't from the applicant's standpoint but from the other end. Certainly video can be used for discrimination. But that is absolutely not the only use case.

    one of the nice things about skype is that it always works. Have a firewall? Skype will find a way through it. If it were completely reverse engineered, it might be easier to filters its traffic. they say they can DOS skype on a network

    Whether or not it's mint or some middleware, the point is: There're lots of interesting thing you can do with pieces of financial data. There are also lots of security implications. Handing the security problems off to one company (say,
