leaving it up would have been something they got criticised for I don't think that strategy has been working out for them very well so far.

GitHub — San Francisco, CA. Remote's doable, although we dig SF'ers. We're looking for someone to help us out with GitHub's Enterprise product, Firewall Install. Basically we want to add 22 units of awesome to it, at a minimum. See our job

[Qwiki's] $8 Million round was led by primary investor Eduardo Saverin, a co-Founder of Facebook. Through my extensive knowledge of The Social Network (watched it twice!), I'm pretty sure Saverin was that guy whose girlfriend lit his bed

Many Caltech freshmen got a perfect 800 on their math SAT, while a near-perfect 1560 combination score placed an incoming freshmen at only the 75th percentile of his entering classmates. One of the most interesting things I heard in my fi

Kod is pretty far away from being a "usable" editor (in its current state), so TextMate 2 isn't nearing imminent doom. Besides, there was a blog post about TM2 nearing completion, which means it should ship sometime around Summer 2008. lolj

I think it's great. It's better than "Status Archive" or something similar. And really, it is your memories... going back to 2004 and seeing what I was up to then is certainly going to trigger some nostalgia for me.

I'm not saying you have to have superfans; you're welcome to do whatever you'd like (and there are plenty of paths to success!) I just think there's so many examples of a small, passionate userbase forming the bedrock of success. Why not

We use Grit extensively all over GitHub. It works quite well. I've yet to have a seizure from it. At the same time, we're also funding work on libgit2, which is an efficient, well-designed C library for accessing those data structures. Ther

ApplicationController is sort of the general controller Rails generates that all your other controllers inherit from. Facelette is so simplistic I didn't need to dig into it at all.

By "endless", you mean the 5-6 concurrent users likely on at the same time as you. Also, there's an extremely high chance that all the email addresses are throwaway accounts. It's not nearly as big of a deal as many have mentioned.

It's strange. I've talked about all of this with a lot of people, and some people understand why I dig iWantMyName, and some people think I'm insane. It comes down to whether or not price is your #1 concern. I don't buy a ton of domains, so

Yup. That's basically the whole reason behind why I made it, once I saw facetime://. Otherwise everything else would be unbearably cumbersome. With that snippet of knowledge, anyone could make a clone (and I encourage it!)

I think it speaks to the fact that today's technology lets you quickly make products that people want to talk about. I don't think it's necessarily a condemnation of TechCrunch or that Facelette is impressive (the latter of which is definit

I've talked to a couple from @mailinator domains today, so that must still be legit.

As the Facelette proprietor, I agree that Apple's FaceTime server capacity is the probable fail point, and guarantee that my freebie Heroku instance and shabby code is virtually infallible.

by holman 16y ago
Nope; Apple must have something running in the background listening for incoming connections. FaceTime.app will open with the Accept/Reject box when someone calls.

I really like the low barrier of entry (ie, no verification). It could be cool to see a more "legitimate" take on all this, but for this quick proof of concept I love how brain-dead simple it turned out. I mean, you're randomly video chatti

For what it's worth, I whipped this up in about an hour. It just keeps track of who's actively looking for a FaceTime hookup and grabs one. Coincidentally, this entire app is dumb as hell. I love it so much.

There are a couple of different "types" of customers. Some, like you said, are just concerned about their code. Some are interested in control (meaning they control their backup policies, uptime, redundancy, etc.). Some want better integrat
