don't like their version of chartbeat. Less info and the realtime stats are calculated differently (Chartbeat seems to be more accurate)

Chartbeat is down and I realize how addicted I am to Chartbeat

Great article and still wonder that not more people got the idea of Node, Mongo and related tech. Rails isn't bad and full of good ideas and a rich ecosystem but at the same time it's terribly aged in lots of areas.

Back then computers were not just boards. Most sold computers had cases.

I like your ambitions and the ability to write popular posts on HN. But I do not buy into this post, it's obvious that there's is something which bothers you: You together with your friends were rejected by YC in the past, now your friends

“The best way to predict the future is to invent it.” Sorry guys, I won't believe that you will define the future of browsers in any way—significant innovations in this space have always been presented by other parties the last years.

Oh, an editorialized title. I thought they are not allowed on HN?! I would welcome a change of this policy.

The ongoing discussion about outsourcing on HN is getting slightly tedious. Outsourcing is like a good api and makes sense ... - if it abstracts things away from you - if is much cheaper and yield better results than if doing it yourself -

What really surprises me is that the same people who did the revolutionary Rails years ago came up with rather mediocre products afterwards. I don't know anybody who is using Basecamp nowadays (and that's their best known product), the same

Do opportunities. That's all about and if these opportunities are about your passion even better. Otherwise you wait for the perfect idea or stuck with a crappy thing for years only because it's you passion.

This's clear that there has to be some algorithm sorting out the boring stuff like train stations and airports—some kind of 'movers & shakers' (trending), should be easy to implement. I remember so many times when being out checking FS

As much as I liked foursquare: they jumped the sharks years ago and I do not get why some still use foursquare. One missing feature was so obvious and I wonder that they haven't implemented it: A quick overview showing trending places righ

If you decided for Sinatra then I'd give Express on Node a try. Sinatra inspired, a large ecosystem with Node and very fast. Or: it's just a pleasure to work with.

This is not about Django and why it sucks. It's a refreshing take on monolithic vs. micro frameworks and it's nice to see that a micro framework like Flask gets the attention it deserves. I believe that monolithic framework are aged too. Dj

Not really helpful. As everywhere you can be lucky getting really talented and fair contractors or unlucky with mediocre people. But you have more people to select from and better control mechanisms. Western devs and contractors usually do

Try Freelancer.com (or any other market place with lots of participants). Freelancer.com is good for your use case because: - Many users from all over the world bidding in an auction for your project => usually you get very competitive

Again the same discussion. I did not buy the wrong book. I knew exactly what I wanted Don't get me wrong, your reply is kind of abstract and philosophical. I explained why this book just failed and should not be recommended (mainly the styl

OT and hijacking this thread: 1. Who is actually new to Ruby? (After Ruby or rather the popular RoR is there almost for a decade everyone should have made some experiences with Ruby, so I am wondering if there are many new Rubiest) 2. What

Scrum as an interface?? You are talking about good specifications/good requirements. For precise requirements I don't need Scrum or any other esoteric methodology. I just need some people who are able express themselves precisely, clearly a

I had this discussion already (see the link). Maybe it's a matter of taste but I think this book has some severe weaknesses and thus, I wouldn't recommend it.

Scrum, Agile, all overrated buzz words. This project management evangelists will never understand that methodologies won't make things happen. Motivation drives people. Not daily scrums, agile, obscure names or roles. Motivation comes throu

Another reason might be the smaller setup/footprint. Setup and deployment of the JVM and all related systems is more complex than a Node.js based system

Regarding the front end side the CoffeeScript adoption is high and mainly driven by Rails but if you look at the back end it's different: CoffeeScript could not established with Node (most npm packages are in plain JS) and mixing Coffee and
