Can people please stop boasting that they are retiring at 20, 25, etc.? If you drop out of work and start your own business, you have not retired. Achieving financial independence and not working for other people is great. Retiring is not a

On the contrary, both were done with the employers' knowledge. The first ORM was very... magic-heavy, relying on monkey patching classes and stuff like that. Therefore, it was a pain to debug. The second one I wrote later using code generat

Am I the only one that finds certain aspects of NoSQL databases easier to use than SQL? Despite having used different SQL ORMs and writing two on my own, I'm a big fan of MongoDB. It's fun using it for small projects, too, even if I know sc

I think that's for shipping efficiency, too. They can fit more cans per case.

It's usually writing a good server that is the pain point here.

This is great, I was thinking about making a similar app, but never got around to it. I'd love a simple ACL for channels. For example, you could do S3-style channel+timestamp+hash authentication, with the hash generated on the server with a

If they really have something that important, why would they drum up attention and wait like sitting ducks, instead of publishing it ASAP?

No offense to your project, but if you feel disadvantaged from not being in the Silicon Valley, segregating yourself into your own aggregator is not in your advantage. Plus, if I recall correctly about half of HN users are not US based. Als

Overfishing is the culprit here. With less fish in the seas jellyfish - immortal and regular - can procreate much more easily, and have access to more food. Here's a relevant article: http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/273850 I am surp

People can invite you to activities and RSVP from the app and we need to notify you about that. We promise to never share it with anyone. But thanks for the advice. We'll think about removing this requirement.

Inspired by the Internet Free/Busy protocol, we created a little tool, which lets you signal your friends if you are free, and what you feel like doing today. You can invite friends to what you are doing, or RSVP really easy. It requires a

The hard part of such as system is defining the objectives and the economical model to use, but that work is left to politicians, not programmers. Once the model is known, it is much simpler to write a program which applies it to get from t

I definitely like the model, but I think $25/mo is too high, especially when compared to other sources of information. The $50 and $100 options made me chuckle a bit (sorry). The Economist print edition comes at $15/mo. 30 days of New York

It's worth highlighting the difference between Rackspace Cloud Servers (aka Slicehost) and Rackspace Cloud Sites (aka Mosso). The former is pretty good and reasonably priced. The latter is not.
