I completely agree, and actually this blog post has gotten me thinking about different solutions and how they might look. It seems like a perfect project to use Lamson ( http://www.zedshaw.com/projects/lamson/ ) as a starting point for.

Since you mention that it's been developer designed - Ryan Singer of 37signals gave a really great talk at WindyCityRails on how developers can build better UIs that you might want to check out: http://windycityrails.org/videos#4

That differentiation totally makes sense, thank you for that. I can see this being really useful for something like SXSW where there are a lot of impromptu meetups/gatherings. Something else that just stood out at me: The margin for the de

A few things that I noticed right away: - While I personally like 24h time for start and end time, I doubt most other people will feel the same way - The map is tough to read being so short, a little bit of height there would go a long way.

It sounds like frisco did on at least the first try - http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=870866 The most logical explanation I've seen is that the page was counting all views towards the total instead of only accepted RSVPs or something

That sounds like the most logical explanation since it sounds like some people who received acceptance emails saw the acceptance message and then later were seeing the rejection message. I really hope that acceptance emails weren't sent ou

280North might be my favorite YC company. Here is another intro video on Atlas - http://280atlas.com/ . I unfortunately don't have a chance to watch the video right now but I'm going to go ahead and say congrats to the 280North guys anywa

I should have been a little more clear in my initial reply. If the .yu TLD is going away, I think 2 years is sufficient. That said, I don't necessarily agree with getting rid of TLDs but I'm sure a lot of politics is involved when countri

According to the article: A two-year transition period started in 2007 that allowed all existing .yu names to be transferred either to .rs (for Serbia) or to .me (for Montenegro). That sounds like a reasonable transition period and an eff

There are some other really interesting looking talks at RubyConf this year also: http://rubyconf.org/pages/program . I only wish that it hadn't sold out so quickly.

Thanks for bringing that up, I'd almost forgotten about that. The way I understand it, reCAPTCHA gives you 2 words to analyze, one which reCAPTCHA "knows" and one it is trying to learn about. As long as you get the word it knows about corr

The site looks really nice on the surface. As I dug deeper though it was really tough to determine exactly what you could provide me. I found one page with a small screenshot but that was as close as I got to seeing what your app even loo

A lot depends on the details of the situation. Would this violate any non-compete agreements that they have signed? Also, what state are you located in (I'll assume your old company is in the same state also)? Non-compete enforceability

What is MT's policy on that sort of task - do their TOS allow for submitting pictures for screening (or similar things)? As a side note, this sounds like a potential hole in the market.

The best get-back-to-work hack I've ever had is to work on something that interests you. If you're able to do that, you won't need any hacks.

I believe GitHub only uses flash for their repo location copy button which lets you copy a repository location onto your clipboard without having to select it and then copy it manually.
