So I started working on something like this a year or so ago, mine is not as pretty as lolcommits though: http://gitshots.ranman.org/ (source is here: https://github.com/ranman/gitshots ) -- it uses mo

wouldn't that make checking out the repo a total pain in the ass? or do you mean just store them there and not upload them?

Why are you so opposed to having your identify verified so that hosts know you're not a scammer? You couldn't give them even a library card with your photo on it or something? The ease-of-use of Airbnb is what makes everyone like it... I do

I don't think it's right or wrong (on the part of Airbnb, maybe wrong on the part of society as a whole -- there are federal laws for handicap/accessibility problems but not yet for self-identity not matching government issued identity) The

are you sure the compiler is smart enough to do that? I think we frequently assume compilers are smarter than they really are because we don't fully understand them anymore... but in practice I find they often do very dumb things.

V8 is another important change that isn't really touted much in this release.

This is pretty boss but the $within query return values seem... random. It also doesn't return in the same order everytime (at least that's what it looks like).

To provide evidence: Posts about startups in NYC like Branch, buzzfeed, etsy, etc. are routinely ignored in favor of: "Next giant pictures of cats on the internet in SF startup" As an example I recently saw this article posted: http://qz.c

I think this is an important question. I'd be interested in some answers from non-hackny folks.

@mediocregopher Re: replica sets. You don't need config servers to run replica sets. You need config servers to run a sharded cluster. Your understanding of when to run an arbiter is also flawed. I think you might find the documentation enl

my hacky way of killing Randall's server: curl --limit-rate 40K -O http://imgs.xkcd.com/clickdrag/\[0-100\]\{n,s\}\[0-100\]\{e,w\}.png Then to remove all the 404s: find . -type f -size 345c -exec rm -f {} \; Woo! No code.

The true value of programs like this won't be as evident in the short term. I think we'll see alumni of these programs fostering communities and developing innovative ideas with each other for a long time to come. I moved to NYC after a hac
