I'm working on a AWS stack based web crawler. It uses S3 and SimpleDB to coordinate instances. It's implemented in Python/Twisted, and extensible via plugins. It has a low cost of entry in terms of code and costs and scales horizontally, so

Ghost of Christmas future agrees. After being quite happy in a $200 Office Depot chair for more than a year, I developed chronic back pain that limited my work and mobility. I purchased an Aeron and haven't had trouble since. Unless your bu

I use a combination of GUI Firefox plugins and Boto, a Python package. Boto works well with Fabric, a Python based deployment tool. S3cmd is good for syncing files on Cloudfront. Elasticfox - http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/

You could try latent semantic analysis of new pages to determine similarity to other documents in your domain. I've been doing a lot of web crawling recently, feel free to get in touch if you'd like to discuss further.

Or you could title it "awesome Girl Talk visualization." Today I'm (again) proud of the internet.

John Galt is a fictional character. He lives in an oversimplified world where the virtue of selfishness outweighs the rest of humanity's concerns. You (and anyone you know who you might move to Colorado or whatever) don't have the capacity

I was in a similar situation years ago and found some great internships with small organizations. Determine what type of company you'd like to work for and the region you'd like to work in. Put together your resume and a cover letter explai

There are two types of people who would attempt to work full time for six months without a salary: 1) A well established developer (read: savings and connections) who would likely request a "founder" level of equity, perhaps even a pluralit

This person wants to pay someone money to create a product. He's not forcing you to "rip off a site" or divine his intentions. While I generally appreciate the cantankerous developer, there's no reason to go on the warpath here.

Fixed fee projects are similarly fraught with danger. There are two scenarios: 1) The client over-pays due to developer over-bidding. (In relation to the time it took him to complete the project.) 2) The developer over-works due to under-bi

I'm a potential coder, and I think there's enough information: preferred language, general complexity of the project, and required skills. Everything else would be outlined in initial communication. Posting a budget would be disadvantageous

You are not good at locking yourself out of your account. While I appreciate the struggle with compulsion, I'm not sure you're fit to dictate guidelines.

But 10 people's moral character? 30? If the comment was really sparkling, it seems unlikely that the first two ignoramuses would drown out the larger cast of HN. It's not all about timing.

I'd much rather deal with the ramifications of "groupthink" than wade through dozens of banal comments. Vote counts give me more information. While that may affect my understanding of an idea, it's for the better. Points may have an inheren

I assure you, you can do dumb things and still have a lot of Twitter followers. For example, you have 400+ followers and advise people to use target="_blank."

I'm a fan of the small sedans - the Lexus IS, Audi A4, BMW 3 Series, Mercedes C Class and Infiniti G37. They range from $32,000-$65,000, depending on the various options. They're all great cars, and with the exception of the Lexus, they've

I won't dispute that in many situations owning machines is the most economical way to go. But keep in mind: * EC2 servers can be deployed quickly and cheaply - you don't have to overspend on hardware to meet an upper bound of predicted dema
