Octopress is basically a thin layer over Jekyll with some default themes and example sites included.

You should be hungry to learn software development regardless of whether or not you are working as one professionally.

Watch out: 1and1 might not be quite as bad as godaddy in some of their policies, but they are very close. Avoid if at all possible.

What do you mean by 'old-timers'?

I think that's the point. Nodejs is a new technology and people are re-inventing all the Twisted (and other technologies like it) wheels so that you can use them from nodejs.

Endorsement? Linus said he threw it up on github as a temporary mirror to see if github is any good because kernel.org is down. It's more of a trial than an endorsement.

That's a mighty fine business you have there. Shame if anything were to happen to all your positive reviews. Maybe... advertising with us could help with that?

Which is why they charge insanely exorbitant prices for simple git hosting.

This article puts a lot of emphasis on school. A lot of it. No comment on that, just the observation.

MVP stands for Minimum Viable Product . There has to actually be something for it to be a Product.

I'm not sure about the internals of Chromium because i never use it and I'm not involved in the development of it, but from what i remember using beforeload is a hack that has a % chance of actually working per page load. Proper resource bl

If you don't like the annoyance of RequestPolicy you can also use Ghostery (avail on FF, Opera, Safari) which blocks a specific blacklist of trackers.

by mtogo 15y ago
Note: It doesn't work on Chrome, since Chrom(e|ium) is not capable of properly blocking requests. Ghostery also does the same but has a much (500+) larger blacklist of trackers.

The problem is the price, though. Spinning up a couple EC2 micro instances to run your app is $0.02/hr per instance and you can run a few threads per instance. Appengine is $0.04/hr (double that soon), with one thread per instance.

If you install a package via the package managers on debian, ubuntu, fedora, and other major distros you can be reasonably sure that the packages aren't malicious because they've been security reviewed before they made it into APT/YUM/etc.

That's the point. Appengine is changing their pricing from CPU hours to Instance hours, so an app that previously had 3-4 hours a day is now going to have 48-72.

> Just how important is correct code to you and your ventures? $1000 chairs don't have anything to do with the code. They might make developers %0.001 less likely to leave, but they're not going to do anything about code quality.

Joel's post on this subject have always bothered me. Why do your developers need two $1500 monitors and a $1000 chair just to write code? It just seems wasteful to me. Also, wow, people pay for instant messaging (HipChat)? If you own any

Your "preview" felt a lot like GMail's "beta" did. You had fully released it and were evangelizing it, the only thing you've done now is removed the label and hiked up your pricing by an astounding amount. This is a bait-and-switch, plain a

The point is that Google crashes and Bing returns somewhat useless results. It's better, though only incrementally.

Your argument is like saying that we shouldn't discuss guns since any criminal could just realize that guns kill people and start killing people.

The fact is that Apps necessitates multiple accounts. If you want to receive email at both example.com and ycombinator.com, you can either pay $50 a month or use two accounts.

Firefox has a similar feature but it's not half as convenient. If you create multiple profiles, you can start firefox instances like so, and have multiple windows with different extensions, cookies, etc just like Chrome: $ firefox -P gaccou

Seems like if you want the users to not have to remember/be responsible for passwords this way is a bit far fetched. Why not just OAuth or OpenID? Everyone remembers their Facebook/Google/Twitter credentials anyway.

It's a software distribution. It includes GNU/Linux, which is an operating system, but Ubuntu itself is not an operating system.
