Cloudflare isn't too much more than a wrapper around a CDN for your static assets. The request still gets sent to your server, they just re-host your images and stuff on their edge servers. They also do some "security stuff", and can help y

Tidal Labs ( http://tid.al ) -- Anywhere in the US (but we're based in NYC) We're hiring a web developer: PHP, JS, HTML, CSS. Any level of experience is welcome to apply. We don't care if you've never worked pro before, but you'll still nee

This was terrifying, I think because of its sheer realism. Nobody expects they're going to die when they decide to get out of their car and trek to the cabin in the dead of night. But it sneaks up on you through a series of small mis-steps

My girlfriend makes such an effort to get up and go to work quietly. And then my cat starts meowing at me and clawing at the bed. Damn obnoxious morning cat.

He may be getting that figure from the $950M "$ Exits" figure divided by 450 companies -- but that's incorrect as not all 450 companies have had exits. I'd imagine that probably 45 companies have had exits, making the avg exit value around

+1 here. It's just fiddling around. And it makes me really upset when I highlight some text and it's really low contrast (like on these HN discussion threads).

Tidal's dev team loves working from home! I agree that "work is modal" -- I even wrote a [post]( http://burakkanber.com/blog/staying-productive-while-working... ) at one point about it, and how important maintaining a workspace is. We've al

Ah, sorry dude, but you've got me wrong. What I said was just a humorous quip at the end of a blog post, and simply does not represent the whole truth. Please take it as a joke, it certainly was meant as such. Hope you're well in Brooklyn;

A good friend of mine, pixelmonkey, likes to say that SiteChat was just me rebuilding IRC as a Chrome Extension. I agree with that assessment!

My first ever project was a text-based MMORPG game written in Perl. This was back in 1999, so I have no idea if there is material anywhere on making PHP or Perl games like that, but my approach was to "just make it". That project had 10,000

Finally, Google translate accurately translated something! Though I meant "anlamadim" as "I didn't understand you".. which is close enough to "I beg your pardon", I guess.

Ahaha... I think paylaşırsında means "shared" or something similar, and probably John was translated from my name, Burak. So the best I could figure out was something like: "Burak, my teacher, I won't vote your shared fuck" I still can't fi

The fact that there are sentient actors behind the DDoS _is_ the difference. You can reliably predict and protect against things like network outages, server failures, full datacenter failures (black mold)--you can directly measure their im
