"How to find business problems: ask on HN"? I hope this does not get across as pure negativity, but I thought this is the exact question your book would answer. On a side note, I think most business problems go unnoticed.

I can't decide if you're serious or not, but if this is irony, it is very much misplaced. Nginx is rising because it deserves to, all others are more or less declining because they fail to catch the attention of the average sysadm

Your parents are truly nice, but that makes you the exception, not the rule. Most students at my university perform like crap because their parents are either too demanding or don't give a damn. I also observed that people who get grea

This is one of the worst comments I've seen around here lately. It makes lots and lots of assumptions, doesn't back them up, and then jumps to stupid conclusions. A platform being open is not merely academic. It makes future open

I'm continually surprised where civilized folks are coming from. I'm currently in lower tiers (silver 5) where I've met the most understanding strangers, who probably play occassionally like me and quite possibly wouldn'

That's certainly fun in a book, but honestly I'd freak out and suspect a virus if my Linux machine went mayday and the keyboard goes equally crazy.

DDG does have its own search engine, but it also takes advantage of the dataset Yahoo/Bing collected.

Changing data in undesired ways is something I'd call a bug, not a surprise.

The article claims the official story is unclear, but I disagree. As a potential customer, I've learnt everything I need to know to protect myself from vulnerabilities. (Though the inner hacker would like to hear how their infrastructu

Autoplaying videos are fine, but... Comic Sans?! That's just evil . Good luck with the hosting company.

I do not have one in production, but I'd choose statsd + graphite, or something like https://metrics.librato.com/ . (No affiliation.)

Can you please share more of your experience regarding deliverability of various services? I'm somewhat surprised to hear SES can be surpassed in this department.

The article mentions the Xen hypervisor was indeed open source all along, just the full-blown XenServer had proprietary components.

I wish you all the luck to find your dream place to work. But - and this is an honest question - let me ask what does a lite version of ActiveRecord mean? My skill is probably severely lacking, but I couldn't even think through an ORM

It is not my concern that some indie developers use whatever they are familiar with. We've been playing those funny stick figure flash games on rainy days anyways. They can be fun to play and fun to develop. However, it is the big stud

Let's not pretend a bouncing ball is exciting regardless you see it in the browser or not. (Except if you're seeing your own stupid ball animation, of course.) Writing games in any language is fun, so by all means keep doing wha

Which is sort of my point. There's so much we haven't explored in the compiled world, but we're busy reinventing all the same things in a slow fragile sandbox.

What about web game dev now? We're almost seeing entire operating systems running in JavaScript. Can we please just keep producing game binaries for the desktop where it actually runs like it's meant to? /rant

That statement is very very wrong. Salt has templates, renderers, grains, while supporting all the data structure languages you can dream of. In fact, it is the most flexible software I've seen recently.

I'd like to hear more about this. When buying or renting physical machines is worthwhile, how would I actually go about it? Should I get them preassemblied, should I buy parts and then glue it together, or people just generally rent th

Both are true, but I consider the second problem to be more like a trade off. In PHP I miss field extraction from an array so often; in Haskell it is just `map fieldName` and voila. Works just as well with namespaces -- I understand it does

This change is welcome. For me reStructuredText broke the ice and made me like writing documentation.
