Super cool! One thing that looks a bit off is that part of the physics engine runs in reverse - When a piece touch the high part of a pile, the sand is going UP from the bottom of the valley to the top, instead of from the top DOWN to the b

When you write 500 simultaneous users, do you mean: 1. 500 users making multiple calls across our servers at the same time? 2. 500 users on a single call?

I read it as "they didn't continue long enough to get to the benefits, as we did", i.e, they already reached the diamonds.

1. If you dob't have tests covering code, sure type checks are better than nothing. but if you do, why do you also need type checks? 2. If the tests must be updated whenever the underlying implementation changes it might be testing too

For some reason I couldn't remember how to say Postgres and used "Pos-gststs-something" a few times, so I kept it afterwords :)

The whole point of node.js/meteor is that you can share the code between client/server, so you dont have to duplicate anything, and have the access to the "real" model.

If they use different IPs, and normal user request speed, the only way to differentiate is by irregular user usage patterns (too many pages for a session, going bfs instead of dfs etc) But if they don't hit your server heavily, why do you c

This is my pet project for lateral thinking riddles lovers- You couldn't solve this kind of riddles on the net because you need to ask someone yes/no questions to figure out the story :( So I built this site to have fun, and play with angul

You can pass the initial data as a json object directly with the server response. I'm using Rails, and https://github.com/gazay/gon gem does it for you nicely.

I think you can hate a language.. you can hate it because you hate yourself, for the things the language make you do. Coming from a Java background, I used to bang my head on the desk everything I had to write a boilerplate code for anony

I understand you.. this Ruby code is unclear. There is a lot of bad code out there, but you shouldn't judge Ruby by a random code snippet- Ruby is just the tool, and the developer is responsible to write clean code. I don't know what the co

I was under the impressions that it cost 50$ to submit a project (the site fee), in addition to the payment for the developer.

Does it mean that until these changes are done, you wont declare RethinkDB to be production ready? (you mentioned at 2.0) Can you guys add a "rough roadmap overview" page to the docs, so we could have a general idea what is the status? I li

I can value the skills of another developer. I can't value "well-connected" or "marketing/sales skills" So if a developer comes to me with an idea, I can evaluate the partnership better- it is less risky then to go with a partner with compl

What is the state of Rethink db? Is it fit for production use? In the website it stated as 1.3.2 (which imply production ready) but I think I saw some comments a month ago from you that it's not fit for production use yet. What about second

What do you mean by "twice as much experience"? Does it makes you twice as productive? or just twice as much "time"? If you are more productive, you can try to get more- but take into consideration: 1. You should have hard evidences that yo

Awesome, seems like it is working well for you. How did you get feedback/nisights about users that started to use your product, but fall of the funnel before entering the email address from some reason?

I feel exactly the same- let users use and require sing-up for saving data etc. But for young applications, it is important to get in touch with the users, and try to engage them- There are some start-ups dedicated only to automatically sen

No need for a workaround, you have Optimistic Locking (via lock_version field) It raises an exception in case you try to update stale data. http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/Locking/Opti...

You should call the article "How My Business Failed", because that what it was. If I opened a restaurant, even if on a new set of dishes, no one will call it a start-up, and it can be a huge business. PG: "A startup is a company designed

If all you want is a clickable link, you can set it with javascript- almost every "real" person runs javascript, and most of the spam bots don't.

I know it's not the question, but if you need to ask HN what are you missing, your partners can't communicate that to you, and they think you are crazy.. You have bigger problems here.
