   Very good advice, probably the best one so far (not saying the other ones are bad).

   Heroku (and others that I haven't tried) solve this well, but they are expensive if you run a large site. If I know that I want an obvious setup such as a reverse proxy + load balancer + multiple rails (or other) servers + a master/slave db

   Yes, if the price is right, and the specification interface is easy. The interface needs to be significantly less effort than writing/modifying a Stackscript ( http://blog.linode.com/2010/02/09/introducing-stackscripts/ )

   Awesome stuff! I tried a couple of searches, and the search ranking looks decently good (at first glance, atleast). I also like the fading of text as the results become less relevant. What kind of relevance algorithms are you using? Since t

   Care to give a ballpark on how much you paid for it? Just curious.

    In that case, could I please have asif.ww.com if that user isn't using it? Thanks for your generosity again :)

    antiword ( http://freshmeat.net/projects/antiword ) works well for Microsoft word documents. Are you trying to create an index/search utility for documents? If so, maybe we can combine efforts. I was planning to build one, wrote a small amo

    How should I do secure the ssh server on a Mac (running Snow Leopard)? I tried using denyhosts (also mentioned in the article), but OSX 10.6 is ignoring /etc/hosts.deny, and it doesn't come with iptables. I do not want to disable passwords

    I faced the same problem. Since I couldn't find the "Ask HN" rule clearly mentioned anywhere, I even tried prefixing "Ask HN" in my post subject speculating that maybe HN does a string search, but it didn't work. Is there a minimum karma le

    AFAIK, most of the internet providers (Time Warner etc) need 6 month contracts at a minimum. However, I know people who canceled their contract after a few months with no penalties so you can try that. One very good option is New Work City.

    Thanks. If Heroku will cost me ~$100/month, I can definitely afford it. I just got scared by reading articles where Heroku costs reached 1000s when there was a usage spike.

    I have asked myself this question. However I do not want to give up without making a sincere attempt first. I intend to set up my own infrastructure, load test it, and see if it's working well enough. If I fail to do so, Heroku/EY remains t

    Great idea, I might buy a poster as a gift :) But, as mentioned by others, save yourself from legal hassles and change your domain name - PrintingFB, PrintYourFriends, FriendsOnPaper..... and all of these are available

    Yes, but if enough people are using this wiki/forum, then it will remain updated as users experience breakages due to API changes.

    My day job starts pretty early in the morning (need to leave home by 7:30) so working on weekday mornings is pretty much impossible. I manage to get in a 2hr session after dinner on 3-4 weeknights, but doing so consistently requires a lot

    Actually, even in the banking industry, most CEOs have a salary between $0.6-1 million/year. The real money is in the bonus.

    I have always liked FogCreek's policy ( http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000038.html ) as a way to minimize frictions due to compensation. Trilogy (where I used to work a while back) used to do this.
