I use DNSMadeEasy because an IT guy I really respect suggested it to me, but as a developer these are my benefits: - Ability to do 5 second TTL - Almost 100% uptime (until a few months ago it was 100%) - Ability to change registrars and hos

I approached this article thinking about how evil oracle is. But I left it hoping oracle does this well. They had a good point about no price increases in the last 6 years. I'm not a fan of monetizing software through support, but I would l

I good PHP environment that models the server is very hard to get going locally. At least on OS X. The only way I could get a good environment for Nginx+MySQL+PHP was to locally run a debian VM in VirtualBox. Now this doesn't even take into

After talking with a few small PHP teams this seems like the logical conclusion whenever growing a team of PHP developers. Its just very hard to perfectly recreate your server environment locally on multiple OS's. Its a great solution, but

Pretty cool app, my only problem is that none of my friends use it yet. Any chance I could log in to twitter/facebook and you could grab my friends locations that way?

Running out of money forced them to cut features and launch. On my first project running out of time before school started forced us to cut features and launch. Since then my projects have been after work and I haven't had any force requiri

Very interesting. I just wish that the timeline integrated closer to college graduation.

A couple things I think can be taken from this for startups: - Pixar Invests in its employees, especially through education. - Mistakes are part of the process. I do think you learn a lot from mistakes, but sometimes when coding I am very h

When you see a need that you feel like you can monetize, and also think you have the time and/or love for the project to be able to launch it. I feel like I've missed the target on the second one way more then the first. One of my first pro

I don't see moving to get away from taxes screwing the state. If anything it allows market forces to work with competition between states. If people are screwing the state by doing this, then the New York Yankees are screwing New York by tr

Thanks for the feedback. I'm thinking I will push a change pretty soon so that when someone doesn't enter a tld, it will go ahead and check .com, .net, and .org. While watching people use the site, this seems to be my biggest UI bug.

I seriously didn't know anyone else doing this, so its great to see other people in the same space. Theirs is really nice. The name came form an idea from an earlier HN article about 4 letter domains. I started using it, and decided I didn'

The pain is the large amount of upsells. GoDaddy particularly makes me click through many offers to buy extra things I don't need. I won't have that. Also I think there is value in a service that only does domains. I don't need hosting, a

I see where he is going, but I think he used a terrible example of the 37 signals web page. He says they don't call you to action until the bottom of the page. But their four products are clearly displayed "above the fold". I was buying wha

I'm working on a Mac GUI to control Django and Rails local development servers. Hoping to really take log viewing to the next level. If you are interested: http://141312.com I hope to launch in March.

I was about to post a similar comment. In 7th grade the first programming I did was mIRC scripting. I then did a little tcl/tk to try and get a bot running on a unix box. I quickly moved to web dev from there though.

I run into this a lot. Port is in use 8003. lsof -i :8003 Then I kill whatever process was on 8003. I do this a lot with my Django development if I didn't kill the server right the first time.

I feel like it wouldn't be the worst way to operate a free cyber cafe. Overall not a fan of the idea, but I just don't see Apple doing this to all computers.

I'm not really interested, but I think other people will have the same question I do, so I'll ask. As a someone planning on launching a product very soon. What can you do for me?

I was hoping this article would answer the question in the title. I am very let down by this article, and its status on the front page. This post is simply, "Hey here are some graphs that show a jump in traffic".

Any tips for people in your situation? Is there a magical department at apple that will fix these type of issues? If so how do you get in touch with them without getting press? I'm not in a similar situation, I just feel like this informat

I see complaints about security here, but you are missing the point, which is a secret passageway. As we usually see in movies secret passages often have very unsecured ways of entrance (turning a wine bottle in Young Frankenstein). Howeve
