You are correct, I just got a bit excited about the product and really wanted to watch the video. I'm sorry if I came off a bit too aggressive.

For the love of God... please put your video on Dropbox or S3. I don't think your site can handle it. At least I'm having issues with it.

For those of you who don't know what a Bloom Filter is or the concept isn't quite clear, you should check out this site: http://www.jasondavies.com/bloomfilter/ He has a nice interactive demo with an explanation on how it works.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned it yet, but it's my understanding that NaCl whitelists native instructions, whereas ActiveX is pure native that didn't run through any security hoops. Implication: NaCl is supposedly more secure.

Cool, I picked up a copy! What technology did you use to write the book in? AsciiDoc, Markdown?

1) Looks very similar to http://www.orchestra.com/ , which is a good thing IMHO. 2) What's missing from Orchestra is some analysis. Like, you have completed X number of tasks so far, basically to keep me motivated 3) Your app wouldn't let

Nice. Do you actually make a reasonable amount of money the on service? The reason I ask is because these dollar/lifetime web services are popping up more, and I find it to be an interesting pricing model

Funny how there are so many overlapping ideas, I just started work on an OSS MarkDown-based site generator using Bootswatch themes as well. Nice work on Strapdown.

That's not CasperJS that's unreliable. That's PhantomJS crashing. Which version of PhantomJS where you using?
133.
by jonpaul 14y ago
Since CasperJS is just a set of JavaScript files that run on PhantomJS, you shouldn't have any problems running it.

Nice app. Do you mind sharing what technologies you use to power the app? e.g. any JavaScript libraries, frameworks, etc?

I'm interested to know more about why PG thinks that people typically don't pay for software tools? Do others feel this way? In my own experience, if a software tool saves me time, I have no problem paying for it. I've seen this in others.

Thanks for taking the time to provide some feedback. The article that you presented was really interesting and despite being over 15 years old, it seems that its insights are still valid today. Regarding Gitpilot, I think that our biggest p

Is this fear common amongst developers? My startup http://gitpilot.com is trying to make collaboration amongst developers using Git stupidly simple. A by-product of doing this is a simplified Git process. However, maybe our approach is of

While you may be right about comparisons with other similar sized cities, I feel that I've seen quite the blooming of tech startups. Admittedly, I'm very biased as I live here. But with the arena project and all of the entertainment venues

Living in the area (Lincoln, NE), you can see that the tech startup scene is blooming. With the cost of living so low, plentiful access to engineering students (UNL), and the rise of investment capital, the opportunity to build a successful

I completely agree with this. Once you get over the cheesy metaphor, the book really is packed with a ton of information on starting a business and actually achieving wealth at a young age. Also, the author (MJ Demarco) has made himself acc

Hi, I'm one of the founders of Gitpilot. Why won't you trust a SaaS? What if you were provided with a link or a way to download all of your data? Would that change your mind?

Shameful plug: http://gitpilot.com We seek to fix the abstraction aspect by focusing on the difficult of collaboration. It's working really well for us. We'll be launching our beta test soon.

Can will kill the headline "you're doing it wrong"? I think that it comes off as pompous as if your way is better. Maybe these headlines are just used to get clicks? I don't know; regardless, they are a bit of turn off.

Tip of the hat to Mozilla for innovating and trying to make Firefox the best browser possible. It seems like Chrome usage keeps going up; I'm really happy to see Mozilla not sitting around.
