I call it the "Boarding Pass Pattern." I modeled it after the typical airplane boarding pass where everyone has the same data structure yet is going to different places/doing different things. :)

It was to simplify a rather complicated system that used bots. Each bot would report home by requesting different URLs. That seemed overly complicated to me, because one URI change would break every single bot. I then created the public int

I was not focusing on your post. My point is geared towards the parent comment, and not yours. Not looking to argue. We both share the same view.

I disagree. It is an attempt to put the OP down. The tool may not have people writing code, but they are programming. They have define algorithms through the use of data types, loops, conditionals, etc. What the OP did is noteworthy because

As the public entry point towards many internal APIs. Its lighter and faster than any scripting language. Gorilla toolbox made it very easy to write.

The minecraft-themed jump game has potential. I would skin it with more minecraft looking assets and include monsters. Maybe a creeper that explodes and takes away all surrounding blocks when you jump nearby? Or a skeleton that shoots arrow

May you please link to any of your projects? Were any built without using any third party tools or libraries?

I reason you could email YC about it. Though this is something that might get better results if you promote it directly for a month or two before contacting YC. My question is: Do you happen to know anyone selling their apps? If so, have th

That is not a bad idea. Might be worth a run or two.

I was going to try it out, but you require me to signup. No teaser page, no FAQ, nothing. I prefer when companies allow me to demo their product without signing up. Be it by allowing me to use the product, a video, or even clear pictures wi

Yes, its quite the double-edged sword. I used to run my own one-man consultancy shop and picking the right clients was tough. It cost me thousands of dollars in 2013 alone. That's why I decided to move on and work as a full-time progra

It never left. You won't read about it here because its not in . Remember that this community revolves around a younger generation of programmers that learned to build web cruds with rails. Not a bad thing. They just see Perl as old

They do focus on technology, but the rules are strict, and hardly ever change a lot. The basic ideas behind the Cup series has not changed much in a long time. But the implementations are quite amazing. Just look at the engines themselves.

The Corvette does have a very tall 6th gear, which allows the engine to cruise at very low RPM. It does have enough torque to overtake on 6th, though. :)

I disagree. It does not lack a diversity of ideas. You have many different teams attacking the same problem, and achieving very different results. One thing to understand is that F1 is very driven by politics. Those politics take a toll on

Yes, the engines are always being pushed towards higher efficiency. They do lack any sort of innovation when compared to the KERS system, though. But the NASCAR Cup car V8 is just an amazing piece of machinery. It operates at 7K RPM and abo

Why NodeJS? I'm not being pedantic, just really interested as to why choose something new over proven options.

They are limited to only a 100kg of fuel per race, and may only consume 100kg/h. Meaning that, as stated in the article, they may only consume 50kg of fuel in a two hour race. Which is a very small amount of fuel for such cars. I find

I'm hoping that the turbocharging system makes it into production vehicles. Being able to utilize the energy wasted by the exhaust system is a big boost (pun very intended) in efficiency. If the turbine is able to always spin at a give

I actually welcome new languages. Even if some may be buggy, and lacking in features. Most will most likely end up being lost or unused. But the knowledge gained from developing it is spread out into the industry. Also, it is distracting if

My experience with Heroku has been drama free. I have never pushed a high-traffic system to their servers. For a reason: for the price, I'm better off managing my own boxes and not have to worry about data security and performance. Her
