I agree about with you about a replacement for redis. Maybe it's only me, but I seem to be relying too much on redis for simple things. I feel that soon enough I'll need 4 independent redis servers for my production environment. T

Could you send me that invitation? I might be needing that soon if you catch my drift. Email in profile! Thanks! :)

It sounds like it provides a nice s3 cache system for your backend. That is, it matches every s3 call to be a simple drop in request replacement powered by redis for caching. Disclaimer: I'm tired and may have read it wrong.

This has a lot to do with Rob Pike's programming style, as you can see from the plan 9 source: https://github.com/cao-xx/plan-9/blob/master/sys/src/librege...

Really awesome site, just one suggestion... Perhaps a different, more relevant name, would help users remember your service better.

Absolutely yes! Nobody here can tell you what is good and what sucks. Your experience must not be based off a few HN comments. You must learn the facts, and then draw conclusions. Even if you're not into Java programming, a weekend or

My favorite version is written in Clojure. See examples in the Readme on github to see why: https://github.com/gigasquid/clj-drone

But really though, that could be amazing! Or fail! I can't decide.

Considering Go is slower than C, and the JVM is written in C/C++, I'd say the JVM would be slower. I'm not trying to say I wouldn't like to see it, but I don't think anyone would use it, is all. And it's sad wh

It's not so common because: - It requires a running JVM to compile it all down (not a bad thing). - Can take upwards of a second to compile depending on code base size and compression setting (even if the JVM is warm). - Kills all abil

I think the "You use this app if you have 5 minutes to kill" is a genius marketing strategy and highly suggest you use this on the website.. it would add a lot of clarity.

I think it will just become easier to hash out ideas with html5 apps, but I don't think there will ever be a point where we can do 100% html5. I mean, obviously if you're doing game dev, or require other system intensive tasks, y

Real quick: I wrote a little json-in-json-out app for working on webapps before the backend is done (first node (express)). Then, later rewrote it in clojure (compojure). They're both on heroku and perform about the same. This is by no

One killer feature would be to have a direct download link to each package. Installing outside the package manager isn't something you should do, but I've had to a few times (making netcat happy, etc).

And then as soon as there is, slam an entire core for about 30sec to calculate diffs. [MBP Quad i7, 16GB, 500GB SSD].

Exactly! The 5C wan not about making a new phone, it was about cutting costs of the old 5 so they could hit their market goal of $99 with 2/yr contract.

I love coding on airplanes. Last time I was on a plane, I was writing some web-something that I can't fully remember anymore, but what I do remember is that I needed MarkDown, but didn't have lib or the api docs. Since Google and

This is really cool, and I'm disappointed there's so much hate going on in here. I agree with points that there is a distribution challenge, but I think if Arc can get small enough, it'll be like SilverLight or Flash. This co

We all have potential to be and do whatever it is we want to. Sometimes we just stop believing. Let this be a reminder that we can!

To be fair though, that form has like 5-6 thousand hidden inputs.

I just wanna say thank you for turning your successfully funded project into a success for the community. The amazing community is what drives Clojure's success.

So the instrument panel contains essentials, but lacks company specific procedures. For example: Each airline has a different 'start up' procedures for their planes, even the planes they all have, like the 737. It also lacks the t

AFAIK, Most of these procedures are to be learned by the pilots prior to being certified to pilot a particular aircraft. IF something went wrong, however, like a pilot panics, or his tablet dies (and forgot his charger), he is still able to

So as it turns out, many airline companies are switching to tablets. My girlfriend's father is a pilot for South West and currently in their beta program. He used to carry 10LBs of binders in a big leather briefcase, but that's al
