Your legs are moving but your head / vestibular system isn’t experiencing acceleration that it expects with those leg movements. Think of it this way, if you are holding a pendulum and take a normal step forward, the pendulum will sta

I've been working on a little project that uses D1 and have been hoping that is how D1 will evolve. A db per customer in my case. Is the colocation in a durable object so 'business logic' and sqlite can live in the same iso

I grew up in Oxford, MS. circa 1980. Kudzu didn’t blanket the roadside landscape at that time. It does now. Every time I go back, it is the blanket over everything. I love the flowery language of the article (takes me back a bit), but i

They have a business plan that is predicated on people signing up for a service that they want to use but don’t and fail to unsubscribe because it’s like giving up on reaching their perceived potential best selves. It’s simple.

My team is 100% remote and we work with other teams that aren't. We use Google's Jamboard. All members of my team have iPads and 'pencils' and there is a dedicated app, and our conference rooms have special Jamboard d

Shrug? I can’t remember the last time I needed source forge. What is there and why is it important to preserve that business model? I’m genuinely curious.

Thank You, I agree that explanations for people that already know are close to worthless.

It is a cloudflare subdomain but it doesn't show that way in the URL, I dont know how that works though. Can anybody explain why this works? I dont have a naked domain with ssl with them but you can check this one out to see what it looks

$20 a month for basic ssl. I have 2 criticisims of cloudflare and im a paying customer, which arent even close to making me look for alternatives. 1. They have had a few outages (but everybody does, amazon included). 2. Ive made their

Try s3 + cloudflare. You will have to pay for ssl but barring that s3 + cloudflare will let you host a naked domain for almost free. Suppose you want some cheap static publishing, set up a dev heroku instance (free) and have it publish to

I think its an interesting concept if you can get JBoss to replicate the functionality of the OS and hardware behind most COBOL running on big iron but on low cost 'distributed' servers. Running COBOL is possible in non mainframe contexts

I think the $50 model is going to get changed. My bet is that businesses building social into their sites off of the app.net infrastructure will end up paying. That was just to see if it was pursuing. Its not better support for 3rd par

Also, by using it I mean both keeping in contact with people I met in Alpha.app.net but using a different UI which somebody already built, but more importantly, using the apis to build new social stuff and helping to form the apis.

by jschlesser 14y ago
Yes, but not how you might expect. I don't conceive of it as something where Dalton has to build this 1 big social network to eat the rest of them. Its going to allow a lot more context sensitive (in product/app/content) social networks t

Actually there isn't a UI really to App.net per se, its an infrastructure play, more twilio than twitter. They built a UI for demo purposes to let people know that it wasn't vapor. They don't even refer to the UI as app.net, its called Al

Note, got a reply from an insider @orian that this is not off base and how they are thinking too. More social infrastructure and not ad free twitter clone.

I think thats a narrow short term view of it but easy to assume given the surface information. Messages need to be succinct and understandable in familiar contexts and i think Ost of the opinions are based on 'ad free twitter' which isnt

Disagree about network effects. It helps but its not about social graph monopoly. Its about not needing to chase that goal and the opportunities that open up when that isnt the goal. I will agree that large network effects are good for t

Its not about destroying or replacing twitter or fb. Thats unlikely and not the goal. Its about new uses. T and FB have defined their contexts and rules. The infrastructure may look very similar but the universe of contexts and possibil
