Question: in all discussion about API design, the hairiest to me is always authentication. The article recommends SSL, but the internet says that "SSL is slow." Is there a guide to using SSL correctly, and techniques for making this more ef

New York, NY: Classic Specs We are a startup which designs eyewear in Brooklyn, NY. We sell affordable frames ($89, frames+lenses). Our bigger business, however, is designing eyewear for fashion brands. We have a number of exciting brands i

The latter, unfortunately. (I wish I had more details - but for one reason or another, it never seems to work, be it a bug in the deployment system or a host which is down.) Dreams of an identical staging environment were somewhat shattered

This really resonates with me. I have been having identical issues with Dotcloud, a Heroku competitor. There's nothing worse than wondering if deploying your stupid one-character typo fix will hang or leave the app in an incomplete state. I

Oh yeah, gentoo's documentation was, hands-down, the best on the net at the time for getting your stuff to work (say, ndiswrapper for getting wireless working.) Their guides didn't really rely on gentoo-specifc features because gentoo doesn

by memset 13y ago
When installing a new gentoo system, you basically let it compile overnight. When something was broken - let's say X11 wouldn't start - the first thing you'd try is "re-emerge X." 2 hours later, the display is still broken and only later do

At the time they made the switch, there was not much documentation or support for upstart. All documentation on the internet was (is?) for init scripts and runlevels. For example, I wanted to take some old hardware and set it up as a server

I started out with Gentoo, maybe 10 years ago. It was the coolest thing, but later realized that I was spending a lot of time compiling everything and wanted these magical things called "binaries" instead. So I switched to Ubuntu - Warty Wa

> the takeaway message for most people reading this is "Should we implement lifecycle emails or not?" rather than "What exact words should I use?" or "What frequency is appropriate for a zero engagement user?" I think (since we're both

by memset 13y ago
I'd conjecture that "lots of spam" probably increases short-term engagement, but if these people have to be emailed very frequently to use your product, are they really interested in using your product over the long term? Are those the kind

by memset 13y ago
I guess I'd ask the question like this: is there no room for taste [1] when it comes to emails? We can all agree that different audiences will find a particular email more or less engaging. The same way we might say "mathematics is beauti

Haha, this is a totally fair thing to say. Talking about marketing, one can start to dehumanize people, and that is never good. There are some (many?) legitimate cases where I will sign up for a service and forget about it. (Rackspace's onb

Wow, a lot of people here are lauding Weebly for their great customer engagement whatever strategy. I don't know how effective these messages are, but working in e-commerce, I can say that customers don't want to be spammed. The one thing

I have always wondered why people have an aversion to stored procedures. They are a programming language in themselves, so you could pass all of your parameters (owner, some_condition, other_condition) into a proc and, depending the logic,

I am guilty of this (using the term "guilty" because, as we're discussing in this thread, this can really turn people off of being in our field.) My HN name is "memset", and if you've ever written C, you are quite familiar with this functio

Hahaha, I am the lead engineer at a Brooklyn startup called Classic Specs. We do vintage-inspired eyewear, but our real business is that we work with other fashion brands who want to get into eyewear and design the frames, build their websi

Hah. Realize that wine is made, literally, by farm boys who spend the year picking and crushing grapes from the field. When you visit a winery you realize how far-removed the winemaking process, which is as down-and-dirty as any other farm

I will offer an experience which is the inverse of this! I am a male software engineer who works in fashion (and before this I worked in wine.) I knew nothing about wine when I started, and my fashion sense is prototypically, well, male-sof

A long time ago, I was fond of a young woman whose family was originally from Denmark. As the ultimate testament to my love, I named my computer 'danish'. Breakfast-themed computer names followed the in-joke: eggs, toast, waffle. Years late

I have one of these for work (but I have the first iteration, with the lower resolution.) I agree with just about everything in this article. When I first got my machine, it would literally hard-freeze several times a day. I tried playing w

For more details on this - usually labels are created in a file format called EPL [1] (or EPL2, or ZPL). This is a format specifically for label printers, and the specification makes it easy ("easy") to command a printer to print, say, barc

This is neat! Can you also support negotiated rates by using our account's credentials? Also - shameless plug - I myself am working on an actually-usable python UPS library (with a real quickstart and example code and everything!) It is sur

I will agree here: I will be given the budget to upgrade these to live instances, and that is what I'll do in the interim. But this mean time I'll have to explain it to my boss (it will shake some of his confidence in my decisions), and it'

I think this is great, with one request: I would love to be able to use the same dotcloud toolchain to deploy to a local VM (or, container, I guess.) Something like `dotcloud local push`. This way I don't have to mess with chef/vagrant/etc

This is neat; I've just signed up for the beta. I'm curious to know what the difference will be between the "free" and "pro" options. What kind of pricing (ballpark) do you think you'll have?

How do we evaluate whether a one-on-one is productive? How can a business, in aggregate, learn from the hundreds of independent weekly manager-employee meetings to see what kinds of issues keep cropping up? This of course presumes both a go

I think this is neat, though I wish the article had more details! At first my reaction was obvious: "Well of course you can tell which employees are going to quit! If they're not getting paid well, don't feel like they have mobility, and
