I really, really want the regulators to stop this, but most people only have the choice of a single cable provider anyway. Where in the US do Comcast and Time Warner compete head-to-head? It feels as though they have divided up the country

I wrote a tool to integrate GitHub pull requests with Jenkins builds called Leeroy: https://github.com/litl/leeroy This new feature will make things so much easier to set up and debug, I'm thrilled. Before, you c

It is especially important to set DOCKER_HOST=tcp:/// before you run "boot2docker init" -- I forgot to do this initially and things failed mysteriously. I had to "boot2docker delete" and re-init to get th

About the upsert function, have you found a way to do this generically, or are you generating (at least) one function per table from a template? I've found the hackiness of this to be easily the worst part about using Postgres.

Woven - http://woventheapp.com We're moving more into the realm of calling ourselves a backup service than the aggregator/viewer service we are mainly today.

It's worth noting that each consumer electronic manufacturer has its own name for CEC, rather than using the generic term. This, despite good compatibility between manufacturers' implementations. From the Wikipedia page linked by

No mention of goroutines or concurrency in the post. Is it addressed by the project at all? I can't imagine that the GTK main loop will deal well with being cooperatively scheduled -- the UI would block any time another goroutine ran

Do you have an API? I work on a photo aggregation and backup service called Woven ( http://woventheapp.com ) and it'd be nice to hook it up.

I am also very thankful for the source for Gorillas and many simpler BASIC games before it. I started out by adding color to many existing text BASIC games and then moved on to writing my own. Years later a friend of mine and I added modem

"We trust that many of our users' programs will also see improvements just by updating their Go installation and recompiling." Does anyone know if it is possible to determine what version of Go a given binary was compiled with? Perhaps ext

Anybody know what API they're using under the hood for this? I have wanted to use the delta REST API ( https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/api#delta ) but since I can't limit it to the subdirs my app cares about, I get overwhelmed with

Your comment only highlights another downside: they are starting 6-8 years behind Android, and now there are 2 entrenched players in the market.

In a similar vein, I recently discovered Wand ( http://dahlia.kr/wand/ ) which is a gorgeous API built on top of ImageMagick. It's a lot more limited in functionality than what PIL offers, but for common operations like scaling, cropping,

Also the difference between using .NET's P/Invoke (DllImport) interface versus Java's JNI is about as big as can be in terms of developer pain and overhead.

I'd love to see a similar set of benchmarks (or perhaps the same one) run on other cloud providers like Rackspace, Linode, etc. Any chance of seeing the nitty gritty details up on Github?

Great, looking forward to it. I love Flask, and am working on a backend site built on top of it ( http://woventheapp.com ) -- the more people we can get knowledgeable about it, the better!

A good tutorial, but it was missing any mention of blueprints, which are essential to building a Flask site larger than a few endpoints. Blueprints also allow you to reuse components across multiple apps, or as releasing a set of endpoints

I just learned about Lumatic today ( http://lumatic.com/ ) and it seems like a worthy replacement for transit directions in many places. Here in Boston it seems to think that I am not near any transit, but it does happily use the transit ne

You might be able to tackle this at a much smaller scale with things like CSAs (community-supported agriculture). In a CSA, you are essentially buying a farm share and getting some amount of veggies or meat per week/month/etc. One issue wi

In a related vein, I would love an e-ink screen that was essentially just a high-resolution informational display. Recipes would be good for this, but also things like the weather, news headlines, what's on my calendar for the day, etc. I

Anecdotally, it seems to be working. When I asked my Boston Uber driver last night about his workload recently he said that it's been much, much higher in the last week. He also attributed it to people hearing about the service for the fi

These watermarks are a lot less annoying, but if I remember correctly the old watermarks were centered on the image, right? These new right-justified ones seem like they could be fairly easily abused. It took my about 30 seconds to find o

To your last point, there was an article in the Economist last summer about HBO and the economics around it. Here's an excerpt as to why they don't decouple from cable TV: "In future HBO Go could allow the network to bypass the entire pay-
