That's not how I read it. It looks like you can make money just not by charging for maps API. i.e. your maps implementation should be in your free SKU. "10.1.2 Restrictions against Commercial Use. (a) No Fees. You must not charge

But the crappy codebases already exist outside of postgres anytime people have to roll their own upsert implementation. The fact that it's hard is exactly why it should be in the database.

He's probably talking about "bcp" which indeed doesn't support utf-8. So why would someone even use bcp instead of SSIS? SSIS might be nice for performing repeated imports of data that has a fixed format, but for quick a

That deleted post from the MSFTer is pretty damning, but is the difference one that really matters? Take a look at these benchmarks that were posted here recently: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5644880 There isn't a single comment

I find managing tabs annoying. What I would really like is for ctrl/alt clicking the back button to take me back to the previous domain.

People are really getting carried away with these glyph fonts lately. In Firefox go to Options > Content > Fonts > Advanced and disable "allow pages to chose their own fonts". This is how some people will see your web page. Hard

3. So you like ARC? Do you prefer it over endless retain/release calls? a. because it reduces the chances of memory leaks in your code? Because in this case you negate your "every programmer worth his salt" point in #5 which we've all seen

Assuming you have a foreign key set up between customers and orders, your 'order' entity will automatically have a 'customer' property so you can avoid the 'join' syntax. If your objective is to find orders that belong to male customers ove

NT 3.5/3.51 was released prior to win95. It still had the old win3.11 look, but it had preemptive multitasking and protected virtual memory spaces. I was excited about it as you were about os/2 apparently. And even as good as it's compatibi

Would YC even consider putting these demos up on youtube, or would that be too distracting for the participants? It would be interesting to see how rough they start out and how they progress. Perhaps even hire an in house film maker?

If you're going to be paranoid about any established crypto you can continue to use it but wrap in your own lousy crypto. It's not a one or the other choice.

old-gregg, I find your pricing page a little confusing. e.g. does Express ($59) include 118K emails a month in the price and then $.5/1k extra for overage or is the $59 just a base platform cost and then even the initial 1k is charged $.5?

I'm puzzled when people critize MS for churning out new stuff. Are they supposed to stick with silverlight for another 5 years even though it's not a success? I think complaints like this reveal what some people really want: to learn the "o

When I went looking for a git win32 binaries a while ago the attitude was basically "lolz get a mac/linux box". Which is why I use hg instead of git. It's great to see an open source community, that isn't engulfed in the sanfrancisco linux/
