Agree 10,000x over your 1000x. On the occasions where rapid unexpected (and awesome!) traffic or growth spikes happen you can almost always temporarily patch the situation by scaling vertically (bigger/faster disk/CPU) or quick and dirty ho

Apple maps has caused me plenty of headaches so far, but hearing this definitely pleases me. I remember traveling lost in Beijing and just ripping through my AT&T international data plan using maps to get back to my hotel. Sure, with Ap

My google calendar reminds me of birthdays. Is it google who cares and not me?

I think you missed the point of the above demonstration a bit. It was meant to demonstration that iOS6 is acting completely normal. No referer is sent for https, and that is expected behavior. Google even went so far as to send out emails,

From my iOS6 4S p: https://www.google.com?q=referer and then click to www.whatismyreferer.com- no referer as expected. http://www.google.com?q=referer and then click to www.whatismyreferer.com - a valid referer as expected. Nothing

Like most others with iOS6 maps I've had my share of troubles and was excited to try this out when I saw the post. My wife gave birth a few days ago and so the first thing that came to my mind was the name of the hospital - a major hospital

It appears your link is incorrect and perhaps that's why you were downvoted. Working link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five-year_plans_of_the_People%2...

I use my iPhone as a hotspot all the time. It definitively "does that."

I'm definitely not here to slander, especially since I really enjoyed the parts of the book you have completed thus far, and will recommend it to everyone scaling PHP once it's complete. You obviously know what you are talking about, and y

You made an account just to bash this book?

I've always wondered if that is the case. And if so, doesn't that mean there is a direct correlation between ease of living and depression? The less you have to worry about and deal with, the more likely you are to be depressed?

by ftwinnovations 14y ago
I'm curious, as I see quite a few post like this regarding coping with depression and suicide, are these very common problems among the HN/tech/startup community? Is it in some way more prevalent in this community vs other fields? Or are th

I like the product idea and am in the market for a CS solution, but I am hesitant to even try based on my expectations on pricing. I'd use it on a site with about 20k to 25k registrations per day, maybe 100k or so logins, and probably a mil

No, at the end of the article they specifically say that they had previously incorrectly said it was tensile strength.

Your design is definitely superior from a usability standpoint. Mad props to the OP for a nice site (though the reports of inaccurate reporting is alarming) but tomorrow I will be going your link to my phone girl. An example is the OP's lar

100% interested. Is there a github repo I can watch? Edit: or a site I can bookmark? Is this going to be a paid product? Still interested!

Yup my 4S sure feels old. Sure wish I had a modern browser like IE9 on there. Blast!!

Sweet about time! I have not looked into it much, but I am a big fan of ZF1. Now to sit here waiting for the usual PHP and ZF hate comments. Or maybe this time will be different...

Fake ad or not, I'm most interested in if the product can actually come close to those results. That would be amazingly impressive!

Worked great on my iPad. Suggestion: start on the Popular tab, not Search. There's already a dedicated search field, and when I got to the page the big empty search area made me think the page was broken. Starting on Popular also would give

I just wanted to point out that this guys site is all messed up on my iPhone. CSS problems basically. But I'm sure he's really good as CSS... And what's with all the troll comments on his page? Looked like reddit got there first. I laughed.

And yet if I were in the market for a [paid] flow charting package I would immediately look at the ads first, as in my opinion those ones would be the highest quality packages. I might also trust the first few organic links, but why bother

His premise, in my opinion, is wrong and therefor invalidates everything following it: The problem is that the topics that are most painful also tend to be the topics that are most important for us: they’re the projects we most want to do,

Oh no, there are pirated versions in the US and everywhere else but my stats speak for themselves as far as I'm concerned. And then how does one explain the fact that the clone apps are almost exclusively made by Chinese? I don't know what

Sadly no. Luckily I have the trademark on the name TextPics so I have these apps using my name removed every now and then, however the process is very slow and manual thanks purely to Apples horrid process. With a clone on android google to

The app was very successful, and I'm quite happy with my earnings from it, but that was not really the point of my comment. And I am also from California, not China, nor am I Chinese or even Asian. My point was only that the Chinese specifi
