Are you worried about Mongo's reliability issues? I like Mongo, but i don't know that i could accept the risk on a project i really care about.

Watch out, this extension does not do what HTTPS-Everywhere does! With KB SSL Enforcer, your browser still hits the HTTP version before being redirected to the HTTPS version of the site.

I'm not actually, i used godaddy for my registrations before. It was really terrible and i'd never go back. First off, buying a domain takes about 30 minutes. You have to navigate through what another commenter very aptly called their 'Maze

The downside there is you have to use godaddy.

As annoying as this is if you're writing something that depends on t.co using proper HTTP status codes, it's really fantastic for users of Twitter. It masks the referer header, which protects my privacy without breaking sites that rely on t

Your account is new so i assume you don't know this, but it's bad form to post shortened links to HN. Here's the URL: https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey...

Google login killed it for me. I didn't even try to look at more of your challenges. The snippets of challenges on your homepage are almost entirely math problems. Math is an incredibly important part of software dev, but there's more than

I'm really getting sick of people complaining about Firefox's release schedule. Look people, Firefox changed their version numbering system. Why do the fuck do you care? Does it really make that much a difference to you whether you're on

If you're worried about this kind of tracking, install the Ghostery addon for Firefox, Safari, or Opera. It blocks like buttons, +1 buttons, google analytics, kissmetrics, and a few hundred other trackers.

I like SMS. It's completely universal, anyone who owns a phone made in the last 10 years can use it. It's great to build applications on top of (Twilio, Voxeo), and it's very efficient-- a little slower than XMPP, but it has the advantage t

Wow, this is really fantastic news. I've always been annoyed at the huge privacy vulnerability developer access to UDIDs posed.

Absolutely agree about bbcode, i was just using it as an example since i couldn't think of any good markdown replacements besides wikitext.

by mtogo 15y ago
Why not just use markdown? There's no chance of messing up the escaping, and there's no knowledge of html required for your commenters. Want to make something italic for emphasis? Encase it in asterisks. Want to make it more emphasized? Enc

Skype is really terrible imho. If you're looking to move away from skype because it sucks, you can try an XMPP server + Candy, or an IRC server plus CGI:IRC or qwebirc. Both solutions take about 15-20 minutes to set up and cost nothing, pro

You're right, but it's not relevant to this discussion.

They tried to make their cookies undeletable. Why would they do something like that? The fuss is that it's a bad, dishonest, skeezy thing to do. Kissmetrics has shown that they are not an honest company, they're a dishonest one that will di

I think there are a lot of these checklists and top 10 things because they're easy to write and get a bit of traffic. In reality, 99% of people on HN already know everything in them. It's a great way to procrastinate, for the checklist writ

This* terminated his account (that was paid and in good standing!) and deleted all his data, including databases for calling them out on twitter. Seriously. That's just insane. If you still think that this* is somehow justified in any way
