   This is very cool - I love demonstrations like this that show the scale of incomprehensible scales. It's always fascinating.

   Congrats to the team - absolutely love elasticsearch. Having a lot of fun with it here at Stack Overflow.

   There are a few things in our stack like Elasticsearch and Redis that we specifically run on the Mac and simply have the VM point to the right ports. This basically requires that we have both running simultaneously. However, going pure Wind

   Parallels has gotten extremely good at handling this. Switching from Cmd -> Ctrl actually isn't an issue at all (you don't need to switch at all). It's really seamless - the only problem is having one window from OS X goin

   Yep - it's incredibly performant. As I mentioned in the post, I was pleasantly surprised having been a die-hard python/mongo/os x/etc developer.

   It's not really that bad. I'm running a parallels VM running Windows 8. The major difference between that and running a straight Windows environment is that we switch off from Vagrant (running a VM within a VM is pretty rough)

    This is a dark time, but you can work for someone else. Most of us do.

    This a pretty good resource. I use some of the same ones on Bento for big-o and data structures. Interesting that those topics and the general topic of "technical interviews" overlap so cleanly.

    I think it's a fair guess that many members of the HN community are well off. As I encounter more and more developers, entrepreneurs, and others who visit this site regularly, I find that the question of whether one should feel obligat

    This is an excellent resource. On Bento, I have so many tutorials and walkthroughs on the basics of Git (it's a very readily accessible teaching opportunity) that it's gotten somewhat unwieldy. In many instances, some of the mater

    This is how I've gotten around my own productivity faults: not with a particular arbitrary date, but by publicly promising to a point of no return. It's incredible how much I've been able to do by setting expectations without

    Thanks for this - this is something that I've been planning to do myself. I seem to be able to find so much stuff for Django and Flask and Tornado seems to always slip under the radar. +1

    This happened to me less than an hour ago - it puts you on an infinite loop if you try and do a login from the phone without a USB connection. I'm a developer that's been using the beta - it seems to have only affected those that

    Thanks for the feedback. It was such a crazy day yesterday and at one point I did make some mistakes. I think it's really important to remember that people probably aren't trying to ruin your life if they give you criticism - just
