   Here's a interesting technical interview with Andrew Nurse who created the Razor View Engine for ASP.NET MVC 3. In the interview, he said Razor was his first project once starting at Microsoft. http://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/Going+Deep/An

   I've been in the same situation, but a different perspective. In Eilat, viewing Jordan and Saudi Arabia.

   Have you tried this? This is something else I'm working on... http://viewtext.org/article?url=http%3A%2F%2Fnews.ycombinato... It will populate the RSS feed with the full content.

   Thanks, I appreciate it. Yes, it will remain up unless I'm told by PG to take it down :)

   That's exactly what my API did. JSON, JSONP, and XML for pages, comments, profiles.

   I took down the site after YC blocked my IP address. I believe it was blocked as a result of increased usage from the explosion in traffic, resulting in some really heavy usage of the API. My guess is that YC's software did this automatic

   I was at a talk once by Ted Neward. He mentioned that many of the C# features we have today are because the F# team needed them in the CLR. C# owes a lot to F#.

    Yes, I took it all down. I need to rethink this. Clearly some folks aren't happy with it at all. Not that intentions really matter, but my intentions were only to help all of the people who are making HN apps. I figured we could reduce

    Sorry, top level posts don't have a parent. When that's null, it's excluded from the XML. Comments all have a ParentID. I just added ParentID to the example.

    Thanks! I took Readability and ported it over to C#. It's not an exact port as I don't have the DOM and some features of JavaScript in C#. It's using the same algorithm for most of it. I did other things too, such as making RSS fees cont

    Great! I'll email you when I get home. It's a 300 MB compressed XML file. 1 GB uncompressed. Contains comments, links, postedby, dates, parentid, and so on.

    That's probably what I'll end up doing. Id like to have it updated daily, seems like with BT there would be older copies floating around with newer copies unseeded.

    Soon I'll also be providing the entire hn database for download. I have the db, but I have bandwidth concerns. Anybody willing to work with me who has bandwidth to share?

    If anybody is interested, I have the HN database. I'm going to release it soon at http://api.ihackernews.com . I'm (along with another HN user) trying to figure out the best way to distribute it, as I don't have the bandwidth I plan to r

    I recently added JSONP support to http://api.ihackernews.com (Hacker News API). Works great for making widgets only using front-end code.

    Even better (for me anyways), is to use my Linksys router at home, flashed with a linux firmware with SSH enabled. I'm already paying for my connection at home, so why not use it?
