Ahh nice, really good ideas. I agree the following notifications are all handy, didn't think about Shown/Ask HN posts, that's a good one. As for keywords, that didn't dawn on me either, another good one. With all these notification settings

Thanks Josh. If you don't mind sharing, how was your approach different? Maybe there is a hybrid idea in there somewhere that makes better sense that I haven't thought of. What I currently have on the books is to allow following of individu

Interesting suggestion, I'll take a look at XMPP and see how that would work. Thanks for the suggestion.

Yes absolutely it should, I'll add it shortly.

Right now, yes it could... please don't do that :) I'll add an email verification step soon.

My friendship. Seriously though, I haven't used notifo before so I don't know. It looks like a great service though.

Colin, quick find. When I originally launched the beta I didn't include this functionality, but had a friend ask for it right away and it dawned one me that it might not be that uncommon for one HN user wanting to watch the interaction anot

Really been enjoying the HN community and wanted to contribute this back to help keep people engaged in the conversations they are involved in even as those comments and replies are pushed down the page. For anyone interested, this is writt

Interesting, so they are comparing to the OnDemand pricing of AWS, not including that 3-year reserved instances on AWS are somewhere in the ballpark of 48% cheaper, BUT, they have this footnote at the bottom of the pricing page that seems l

Please tell me this took you a long time? The design is I impeccable and I can barely make fonts stick (hnnotify.com) You designers are an enigma to me, you make beautiful seem so easy :( Oh yea, and the app is very cool.

Anyone that played with it yet or watched the presentations have a quick-hit list of the things that look cool about Windows 8?

Well happy PD to everybody. Today just happened to be an unexpectedly productive programming day... I guess I was "celebrating" without realizing it :)

Great list. I think the reason Mongo has become so popular is because the line it straddles between SQL and NoSQL, specifically the query language. You feel right at home. CiuchDB is another DB I like quite a bit, but wrapping your had arou

Yep, seen the "sparkles" issue as well a handful of times and was corrected with a new cable.

Was not familiar with this method, appreciate the heads up guys. Did some quick micro benchmarks and it looks like I got an 11.5x speedup in some code that was using Exceptions for flow control.

tldr addendum: because they want to push back some of the 99% of registered sites that use the free DNS service yet drive huge amounts of traffic and want them to upgrade to DNS Premium support.

I'm glad to hear you took the next step in realizing the future you want, that is exciting/scary/wonderful. What kind of business are you starting?
