Such a pity. I have always used DMOZ as a source for seeding any search engine I am playing around with as you get a good breadth of sites to start crawling. Half tempted to create an open clone to keep it going. Any suggestions for a name

More data centre choices, storage nodes with spinning rust backed disks with lots of space are two. The support is not even close though.

Made a mistake with a cloudformation script which promptly removed the svn servers drives. The worst part was watching it fail the first time then retrying and suddenly the drive is gone. Thankfully I had been involved in a migration of the

I realised searchcode server https://searchcode.com/product/ and started to make some sales. What did I learn? You would not believe what people commit to their source control. Gigabyte text files, millions of files in

Nginx, Django/Python and MySQL. Nothing fancy. No company actually. Just side projects. The largest being searchcode.com Feel free to email me if you want further details on either. Details in my profile.

I have a custom built one. It's main feature is that it can email me the details I want on a scheduled basis to save me logging in. It tracks a few million records a month so not high scale and runs on a single $5 digital ocean instanc

Interesting to see how others are doing this. I recently was tasked with adding some logic to determine the number of ad-blocking users across the network of sites I help maintain. I added my own custom script into Appnexus (ad provider) an

Support isn't the best. I was attempting to restore a very large database and they shut down my instance for using excessive disk and CPU. I didn't get any response of what sort of limits to stick under. Otherwise they are very si

Infrastructure as code. Use the API the build machines from scratch on demand. It can be a very powerful model if done well, or done poorly cost a lot for less performance. I use Hetzner myself for my large projects but the machines were co

Try mithriljs. It's the same idea as react for the view. I was having the same experience as you setting up angular and react applications and wanted to go back to jQuery. Having done some react I wanted something similar that I could

I'd recommend starting with mithriljs. The idea behind it is very similar to react for views. It's also vanilla JavaScript so you will probably have an easier job learning it.

Id like to get searchcode.com into the top 20,000 Alexa website ranking's. To do so id like to refresh the code results on it more quickly and add project pages.

It's not really anything I'm worried about. Its not really worth putting any effort into as the whole thing is just set and forget. I would also imagine it would be very hard to topple the see value of the page that's driving

I think you are missing my point which is that even very small niches can produce income even without marketing efforts. Small niche. Zero marketing effort. $35 seems pretty good to me for the effort spent.

I actually get almost no sales through Amazon. Most come through either Leanpub followed by Gumroad. http://www.boyter.org/decoding-captchas/ That's the link that generates 99% of sales. It gives you a fair idea o

Genuine question here. Why is it that some lack the discipline to just do things that they want to do? Its a common theme that appears in most books (heck Just Fucking Ship is a whole book on this) and I have noticed this over time with dif

Its quite amazing how much money you can make with self-published books. For example I wrote a book about Decoding CAPTCHA's. I have the top ranking post on most search engines for this which is the only marketing channel. I collect ab

Contact Amazon. I go through this every time I switch work servers to a new elb or spin up a new service. They are pretty responsive when it comes to this. Just let them know you are expecting X amount of traffic. The new load balances may
