   Funny.. in Europe, Germans are considered hard-working and Greeks typically "lazy". According to these stats, the truth is completely the opposite!

   I just tried a 11 character password without special chars, that I’ve used on over 50 sites, over the last decade. It’s my password for throaway websites. Some pretty dodgy. Not in the database. Makes me feel pretty good about password secu

   I've noticed the speed of deployment as well. Any idea why it's that slow?

   What about the other DAG technologies like the one used by ByteBall? I’m not crypto-intelligent enough to analyze them but could DAG be a credible replacement for the blockchain? Iota is just a very well marketed option in that space. Thei

   Runs absolutely flawlessly on an iPhone 7. I’m not a game designer so no idea if that’s to be expected but to a casual it looks impressive running in a mobile browser.

    1) Video game humor is typically way worse than the humor in non-interactive media (interactivity has a price). 2) Humor evolves/improves over the years Combine the two, and you would be hard-pressed to find ANY game that old which is

    FYI, I couldn't even get it running because "hasuractl.exe local start" is not a valid command with the version of hasuractl (0.1.12) you have available for windows on this page: https://docs.hasura.io/0.14&#x

    Woooo.. Interesting. I'm going to download it now and give it a whirl. Will get back to you with feedback (if you're interested).

    Honestly I don't mind. A document API with a little manipulation on the front-end would be fine, as long as the back-end has some way of running through the relations. A SQL-ish API might even be better, although I can see some pitfall

    I believe usergrid runs off of Cassandra and Parse runs off another NoSQL DB. Maybe Mongo?

    I’m still looking for a product that provides firebase-levels of ease of getting up and running (no API to design, rule-based authentication, etc) , but runs on your own infrastructure, off of a traditional RDBMS. Someone tell me they’ve fo

    For people mourning the loss of rethinkDB, and who are interested in alternative document based NoSQL DBs under development, please checkout ArangoDB. It's my favorite NoSQL database. I have no affiliation with them. Beautiful query la

    I would have guessed the same, just by amount of splash RethinkDB had on YC compared to Arango, but the truth is I MUCH prefer ArangoDB. Their AQL is a beautiful replacement for SQL. Javascript style query languages are what I hate the most

    This sounds similar to my HN proposition from a couple years ago, only 10x better for the applicants. Damn you Ycombinator! :)

    Hmm... I guess Rock, Paper, Scissors game is non-associative so it does not meet all 3 laws, but I feel like that's more of a detail. Perhaps a different game would be better for an example.

    I've never really done anything seriously in Haskell, but this is how I feel monads could be explained through example. Let me know what you guys think. If it's good I'll add it to the stackoverflow question on Monads. --- We

    Once Google made its pitch, did you reach out to other potential acquirers? Our goal was about accelerating our vision, and how many companies are really in position to do that? I'm going to a new home, not selling a used car. -- &gt

    So 800k out of 1m (according to your numbers) manage to avoid the subscription fee. Remaining users: 200K * $39 / month in revenue. So $8 million / month of recurring revenue through this programme. I wonder how the margin on that

    I'm not a mathematician, but I find it unsatisfying that the solution to such a simply stated theorem requires 100s of pages of mathematics. Would have been cooler if the proof was extremely simple to write out, but required outside-th
