Fantastic work. Thoughtful solutions to some real usability issues on the current site.

“At the time, getting a seed round done for a consumer Internet startup in Boston was a lot harder than getting a round done here,” she said. I think this is still a big factor. Things have gotten a lot better - there is more of an ecosys

One argument for one language everywhere is the benefits you get from an "isomorphic" app ( http://nerds.airbnb.com/isomorphic-javascript-future-web-app... ) Sharing code between client and server lets reduce duplic

This very likely uses network speech recognition, so most things (except for the wake-up word) are being streamed up and recognized in Amazon's data center (Siri, SVoice, etc all do this also)

I think part of the reason that most apps don't use these techniques is that there are not enough examples. The examples that are available on SO, the apple docs, and IB generated/influenced code work great for the simple case but

We use dropwizard only for rest APIs currently. Our HTML and JS are served up with an in-house framework that has plugins for less, minimization, svg inlining, etc. We have open tasks to both publish it and make it hostable in dropwizard

Nice article - Many of the suggestions (single-jar deployment, metrics, slf4j logging, etc) are all wrapped up for you in Dropwizard http://dropwizard.io , which we use and love.

We use the semi-official angular ui bootstrap library ( http://angular-ui.github.io/bootstrap/ ) Out of curiosity what does this give you over that?

Agreed - we used the PRUs for high speed data acquisition (~3.4msps.). What would have normally required a lot of outboard logic ended up being almost all software. Very much an underrated feature, although the Learning curve is not so grea

This would be amazing.. svgo and less are the only two things between us and a node-free environment - would love to not have to install/deal with npm.

Glad to see the EEVBlog here.. I have been learning a LOT from his videos. If you are at all interested in electronics I would highly recommend checking it out.

The counter-point is always valuable! I find Angular really helps when you have a fairly complex single-page app that has non-trivial interactions. The complexity tradeoff you make using it is not worth it when you don't have those ne

Many lives are incredible, sometimes small details, sometimes extreme events, but only a few make it a point to broadcast and paint that persona of themselves, real or not.

tldr: use SPDY, but until more universal support a similar custom hack is proposed Neat hack though.. frustrating how much perf is lost due to HTTP sometimes

I read Sacha's blog and really like the idea of Folyo, but it appears to be only for contract work, not full-time.

Selection, UI, and curation/recommendation all are very good. I hope this creates some competition for Spotify, because I think they need a fire lit under their product plans. (It's 2014 and I still can't save a collection

Agree, although as I understand it non-YC companies are relegated to the Who's Hiring thread, which is only once a month and pretty crowded (and Jan 2014 appears locked now?)

Thanks guys . I will check dribble again. Most of the people I talked to there were either freelance only or employed, but agreed it seems like the best place. Had not heard of sortfolio, thanks.

Seeing more and more of these extreme perspective mockups on dribble and elsewhere. Definitely makes mockups look "cooler" but it makes it so hard to read / see what is going on. Just a little perspective goes a long way!

My day to day would be significantly harder, less fun, and more frustrating without IntelliJ. Big thanks to the team for making such an incredible product. No major updates for me in 13, but all the little things add up to a nice update.

JIRA can a great tool, but that has nothing to do with mongodb nor the quality of the code the team produces.

I don't think a $49 price point is "well out of reach" for consumer and hobbyist users.

I think it was covered so widely because everpix did a great job on pr and getting the story out there. I assume the story will help with either generating more offers for investment, sale, or employment for the team.

Thanks! Nothing against scala specifically, just using Play-Java (which we are) means you are bound to using sbt and when debugging into play internals you are looking at scala instead of java. DropWizard is fantastic, will check out rest-e

So what is the right java web framework today? Play has gone down the scala route - is there really another rails-like web framework that today that would do what the author is asking?

It's also unreadable unless you know the trick or see it, making future maintenance by others difficult. Clear and simple is usually better than complicated and tricky.

#2 was the reason we used the beaglebone on a project that requires high-rate sampling - the PRU made it possible to what we needed with almost no additional hardware (normally you'd need an extra microcontroller or FPGA) If/when it gets ea
