The most traffic a domain controlled by me ever received from HN was about 3000 uniques: 2000 the first day, 1000 the next.

And it is already back down again because of all the traffic. The archived version is still up at: http://www.w3.org/History/19921103-hypertext/hypertext/WWW/T...

To show an icon on hover over a link on the browser side it would require browsers to make an HTTP HEAD request for each link to see if it has the "Content-Disposition: Attachment" header. That would add a lot of overhead to the page load,

Oh I did not see it the first time around. At any rate I'm glad it is getting more exposure this time.

I'm actually not the developer. I just happened across it, enjoyed it a lot, and was surprised to find that it wasn't posted on HN yet.

You should also check for the existence of a package.json file at the root, which is the Node.js style. These files can contain licensing information for Node modules and projects, and personally I think this is a better pattern than making

Personally I don't believe in natural aptitude. Most of what others tend to see as natural aptitude is in fact just attitude. If someone really enjoys something they put in the hours of practice and the effort to be awesome in that field, a

Thanks for the link. I'll try it out.

Does anyone here know the tool or technique to convert the printer format on his website to human readable format on screen? Edit: So far I've discovered I can go to http://whytheluckystiff.net/SPOOL/TRUMPETS for example to download a fil

I completely agree that the app store environment would be better without paid promotion from companies like AppGratis. However, I would also agree with the CEO of AppGratis in his post when he said that the app discovery process through th

I would agree. I don't use social media to see information about brands. I want to see my friend's activity, not advertisements. That's why I deleted my Facebook account and just use Path and Instagram, which so far don't have a big focus o

Someday soon someone will make a similar app to hack self driving cars.

Yeah the biggest I've seen so far was $94,000.00 It doesn't specify whether that was a sell or a buy though. Either way someone made or lost a lot of money.

This site seems to have a fairly decent up to date measurement in realtime. It lacks the graphing ability to see the dramatic drop off trend though: http://realtimebitcoin.info/

I like this prettier and easier to read interface: http://realtimebitcoin.info/ I've been watching it drop from $200 to $157 over the last hour or so.

Interesting. The times I've experimented with serious bows at Renaissance Festivals gave me a healthy respect for their power. I would be too afraid to shoot one in my backyard for fear that if I missed the target I could shoot through my f

As much as archery appeals to the Renaissance Festival attending, fantasy game playing, Lord of the Rings fan boy nerd within me it probably isn't the most effective thing to do to get rid of back pain, not to mention that archery isn't a v

Exactly. As offensive, shallow, and demeaning as Lulu might be it really isn't anything new. Trashy people of both sexes have used Facebook for gossipy purposes such as this for years. By now we should all have learned how to prune our rela

AWS, Heroku, and many other PaaS providers have had their own share of downtime occasionally. I see nothing so damning about this particular instance of PaaS going down that warrants complete abandonment of the platform.

I agree it would be nice if this was open sourced, but I think the biggest barrier most cities would face stopping them from implementing a similar system would be the colossal hardware costs, not the software.

This sounds like an interesting idea but needs a fallback for mobile devices. It didn't work mobile Safari. If it had though the person at the other end of my extremely slow 3G would have been very disappointed.

I remember at some point when I was still a newbie with S3 I originally had the permissions for my company's S3 bucket too open. Even though it was a public bucket, containing image assets which were intended to be distributed publicly over

Very nice! I'm trying it out right now and it feels very speedy, and actually much more responsive than the web app. Of course this is probably because the iPhone app has far fewer features to bloat it.

That actually could be. I use Chrome primarily and rarely use Firefox so Chrome probably trusted my Network Solutions SSL certificate because it had already encountered and cached a chain file linking Network Solutions back to a trusted roo

I had this problem the other day with a site I administrate, in Firefox only. It turns out that Chrome and other browsers have robust and complete certificate chains built in which allow them to trust certificates that Firefox over zealousl

One of the major downsides is that the documentation is horrific. I've spent the last 14 hours trying to get my company's app deployed on Elastic Beanstalk, about six of which have been trying to get an Elasticache Cluster configured as par

I have the same issue, but haven't had the time to fully investigate it yet. Other services have excellent download speed, typically about 3 megabytes per second download of say movies purchased through iTunes. But for some reason 1080p You
