Just as a side note: we're planning to launch our app: http://www.jobbrew.com soon. Our aim is to help freelancers collaborate, manage their projects and reach out for help. It will have a Q&A app, a personalized job board + lead mana

An alternative way i've used to test Twilio till now is get a DynDNS account and point it to my home laptop. Infact my home router has a DynDNS option to fill in my username/password, so it can query the latest external domain assigned to i

"A little about me" section renders pretty small on Opera. I couldn't actually read much without squinting. I would suggest, making the text less paragraph-y and more bullets?

Yeah not only that. Now that it might be a paid product, they might start focusing more on it? and lead to overall improvements, with paying customers keeping them up at night.

Yeah but i would assume that they would still have a fairly large, overlapping customer base? Also see comment above, about machine translation support at mygengo.

Interesting, would love to be a fly on the wall at internal discussions at MyGengo

Doesn't a CRM sort of satisfy that need? Lot of people use them for lead management.

Are you using it in production anywhere? The stack i mentioned above powers the location search for teaspiller.com right now, but i'm not that invested into haystack not to look at alternatives if it suits us well.

by sidmitra 15y ago
The article doesn't mention the setup he used for the benchmark. Is anyone using ES on production, how is the support for things like lat/long(geo) search. If you're on django then your options are limited if you want to use django-haystack

Why not go with EC2? over RDS mysql instances?

Awesome, thanks. I'll see if i can seed a torrent. Will post here if i do that.

>realize their ideas by themselves Agreed. But "realize" could mean developing it themselves, or finding another way. Here i was assuming the idea guy can't code himself out of a hole, and realizes that shortcoming.

The idea guy has its own place in the market. It is the reason why there're so many consulting firms in the first place(including mine)! Some people genuinely believe in their ideas, enough to pay someone else to do it(not in equity ofcours

Can you elaborate on the reason?

For the apps that accept paypal, it's a decent common point of contact to maintain all recurring subscriptions. It allows me to see all my current, old subscriptions at one place and i can discontinue one at any point.

And just like captcha, expect a decline in conversion :-), that's all i'm saying.

Well yeah sure, by asking pertinent questions about the project or how i "might" solve X. What technology might be good for X etc? In my opinion it gets a conversation going, which might be a better way of judging someones worth(goes both w

I work as a django freelancer and have picked up over a dozen sites and built up quite the portfolio in less than a year on Elance. I've met some awesome clients there, and i think the kind of people you attract also reflect on the kind of

You're not an out-lier actually. I think you're among the hundreds of freelancers who're just quietly doing their jobs. Some good, some not so good. Their rates tend to separate the chaff from the wheat pretty quickly, even if they're from

Does it support hosting/syncing the static content to a 3rd party service like s3? The problem with most of these asset management apps is i can't use the templatetags, since they save new css files etc. During deployment i usually ship the

Hah, that figure is ofcourse not accurate!, was just a random number that popped into my head.

Also any of these cloud backups solutions available, that run on Ubuntu? i know of Ubuntu One, wondering if there're cheaper/better alternatives.

True! But then again i have an external HDD filled of sitcoms. That's how i think of storage space, as 10K seasons of House MD :-)

by sidmitra 16y ago
I'm guessing they would change their terms :-) I just calculated(above), that it costs a small fortune to store that amount of data on S3.

by sidmitra 16y ago
Just curious, did you do a cost analysis with Amazon S3, i'm guessing that amount of media might cost a lot. I haven't run the numbers myself. EDIT: At $0.095/GB, it would cost you over $48K per month!! I guess i didn't internalize how expe

What is interesting is, if a few person in the graph start identifying themselves on their profiles. Then there might be a way to identify the others in a picture based on his nearby graph, other attributes(like gender + common friends). Ot

- Get more memory for sure. - Try using memcached first. Eg. libraries like johhny-cache. - Add varnish proxy in front. - You can cache full pages, with the django cache middleware. Commonly most pages are same for everyone not logged in. E

This is especially true at airports, eg. queues at checkins, boarding pass counters etc.
