Why is it so important to save all this information? Seems like projects like archive are just contributing to more information clutter. We generate more information every single day, what makes a few million peoples blog posts so damn im

I have a macbook air. Can't upgrade the memory. Using less memory is a definite positive for me. Because you're situation is different doesn't mean reducing memory usage is a bad thing for all.

Why don't we stop working on petitions to the whitehouse to let us have more fun with our cellphones and start putting more effort into holding our politicians accountable for things like: 1) letting massive bank fraud slide at the expense

It's talking about the reason for being shot in the first place... Gang violence, war, etc.

I don't understand it either. If I live in a mansion and lose my job, I don't ask for money to pay for my mansion, I move to an apartment. People who stick around here aren't helping themselves at all, but a lot of that could be why they'

I've been around a few companies migrating from EY/Heroku -> AWS and the cost effectiveness is always astonishing. In addition you gain full control over your architecture, which is a major plus.

Thanks... It was an idea I had a while back and hacked together quickly as a proof of concept. Didn't know if anyone would find it interesting.

Major shout out for phishvids :) I'd love to help with the transition to Redis if I get some free time in the near future, assuming you're still looking to go that route.

The sad thing is I actually did lose a grandmother and grandfather a few weeks before exams. :( ninja edit: this was years ago, to clarify

Thanks for the information... It's a topic I've only briefly read about on a few occasions, so my knowledge clearly isn't too in depth.

What's wrong with working out and supplementing your decreasing hormone levels with artificial testosterone? I may be reading your comment in the wrong light, but I think the research on health benefits here are fascinating. Once you move

I do plan to give it a whirl on my next side project. I'm hearing good things.

Seems interesting, but I was tasked with integrating several analytics packages at my last startup and it certainly didn't take months to do. All I did was write a few javascript wrapper functions and stick the various mapping in there: fu

For people like me who have terrible memory and an inability to put names to faces, this is perfect.

stephencanon is absolutely right about the microclimates in the Bay area. I used to live in Polk Gulch and work in the Mission. Sometimes, when I'd go to work at mid-day (which eliminates the possibility of time causing the change), there

I feel it as disconcerting as well and I think it's because it makes everything seem mundane and gives no distinction on a (may be the wrong word here) biological level that time is actually passing.

I have spent a winter in NY. And about 24 of them in Indiana. The thing with those places is that I expect it to be frigid in the winter. San Francisco is always lauded for it's "amazing" weather, which to most people -- especially touri

I guess that's personal preference. Growing up in Indiana, we hit 100+ in the height of summer (and humid as hell) and subzero in the winter... While I don't _enjoy_ those extremes, it does really lend to a sense of time passing and makes

I will give it to you that those special days where it remains 75 throughout the entirety of the day are pretty awesome. However, in 18 months here, I can count those on two hands, and the days where it was comfortable in shorts/tshirt unt

I hate that everyone calls the weather here amazing. Being cold all but maybe 30-40 days a year is not incredible weather, especially factoring in fog.

I think you have it backwards. If your salary is 50k, they suggest trying to save up 50k by the age of 30, 250k by the age of 40, and 500k by the age of 50. Keep in mind this isn't direct savings. Stock and other investments count.

Hearing about how expensive it is to live out here is much different than getting here and confronting the reality of it. I had heard (and seen) how expensive rent was, but I was blown away when I got here to have the rent + parking + taxe

Also meetups here suck because most of the people in the tech scene aren't really that fun to be around. I've been to a few launches and it was nothing but the following: 1) people inflating their egos talking about worthless metrics, how

Not my opinion, but I once read somewhere that you should aim for a savings (+investments) of 1x salary by 30, 5x by 40, 10+x by 50.

What about Alfred or Quicksilver? How is this different and why do you need a round of funding to support it?

Also keep in mind that Reddit throws in spurious downvotes as part of their spam prevention. For example, you may have a comment with 100 upvotes and 50 "downvotes", but in reality, most of the downvotes may be fakes generated by their spa
