If they have a large number of customers all doing 5000 req/s, perhaps they will need something a bit more powerful.

I'm thinking about writing a series of how-tos describing how to set up something like this with EC2 and Puppet - in my tests, I can go from bare-metal to a running app in under ten minutes. That's including the OS install (for physical/VMW

Before spending time adding support for additional languages, I would wait for someone to demonstrate their need and willingness to pay for this feature. I have read some interesting things about Python being used in the maths/science world

I think the author has missed the point on a number of levels. Two representative quotes are: > Android is and has always been the choice for people and companies that don’t have the option of getting an iPhone. > iOS is, in fact,

You might get better responses on a board like ServerFault.com - while there are a lot of tech people here, I doubt that many are interested in Windows desktop migration strategies :-) > Cross browser can be done on a single machine b

Learn Python the Hard Way will give you more than enough Python knowledge to get started with Django. The Django tutorial [1] is very impressive - it will take you from the initial steps to a very basic (but working) web application, exposi

Interesting tactic/title - I like it. "Technical Director" sounds good, without being as egotistical as "Supreme Ruler and CEO of all he surveys", which had been my first choice.

Although I am planning on building a team if the site takes off, for the moment it is just myself. I will go with "I" for now, and hopefully change it in future.

Thank you both for your responses. I was actually going to use BCC and AR as an example - I imagine the size question comes up with AR more than it does with BCC, making "I" more suitable for the latter. But given that this is for a bit of

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one wasting time on this problem. Thanks for the response and the link.

Congratulations, this is a great idea, and nicely executed too. A couple of thoughts: I get PHP errors if I use a search string with spaces in (something%20else). Yahoo will probably have a problem with the name/branding if this gets popula

Personally, I think without some kind of temptation to sign up this marketing tactic will be met with a resounding "meh".

This is an interesting idea. Have you thought of using Sieve [1] to let people manage the rules directly from their mail client? Depending on how you set this up server-side it might not be possible, or indeed useful. As a sysadmin my initi

Like thalur says, the cake analogy is not entirely accurate, but you make a good point - the phrasing of the statement is ambiguous, and could be taken to mean two different things: Convert <item> in to <an object> Create &#

Interestingly, the dead tree option did not occur to me for a moment. Once it is printed, the problem almost goes away - you can do the publicity blitz, but also lodge the copy with the notary. Wrt your second question, I am not sure - I th

This is only true up to a point - perhaps not when referring to instructions about how to interface with APIs or otherwise develop custom content for the site. Indeed, people rarely read instructions - but sometimes they read them and misin

While I would also be quite irate if I was in your position, it does not sound like this can be blamed entirely on FB. My first parsing of "Make <your name> a Test Account" is that it means "the FB account with <your name> w

Post it on Github? Also, if emails are admissible in court in your country, you could email a description and copy of the algorithm to a company that provides "email notary" services.

I would recommend having a lawyer involved beforehand. Presumably there are some conditions associated with this investment? If you do not have a lawyer, how will you know whether the terms of the investment are fair to both you and the inv

I might be more interested in signing up for a beta if I knew what the site did . Presumably something to do with hashtags, but that's about all I could figure out.

Tangential feature suggestion, which you might already have: LinkedIn integration. If you could pull my work history from my LinkedIn profile, that would save me huge amounts of time. Looking forward to your ShowHN :-)

You really need to seek some professional legal advice on this - you are thinking of setting up a gambling website, and will need to be registered with and regulated by the relevant authority. If you are pitching this as a "service", I beli

I apologise in advance for sounding harsh. This is a terrible tutorial, and is in fact harmful to any who reads it expecting to learn how to make a login system. If you are planning to learn PHP I urge you to stay away from this tutorial (o
