Can you link me to a site that currently thrashes your machine as a result of Flash on the page? I use a white MacBook (i.e. not exactly a monster of a machine) and my biggest headaches come from leaving Firefox open too long (which is why

FTA: Before we release a new version of Flash Player we run more than 100,000 test cases and have built an automated system that has scanned over 1 million SWFs that we use for testing from across the web. Our QA lab has a very large varie

Somehow he needs to enable ActionScript to cross the same bridge that JavaScript did. Remember when JavaScript was primarily the tool of script kiddies run amok?

Could it be that some crashes are the fault poor programming and not the Flash Player itself? I can eat up 100% of your CPU with Python.

I'm still stunned at how many geeks I talk to who have never heard of it. This hit me when Drew (Houston, Dropbox) had to tell geeks about it here as if it were still 2005: http://vimeo.com/9100565

Slightly annoyed. seems wrong to me--or at least, needs an explanation, i.e. in what sense does he find it annoying. The JK Rowling analogy doesn't make it clear either. See also: http://twitter.com/msuster/status/8502845427

I have a place in my brain that keeps telling me that I could never get hired by Google (not-good-enough), but then the part of my brain that keeps me going replies: "On the Internet, no one knows you're not a Googler."

Python, Django, and PostgreSQL tend to flock together.

Are you open to remote/telecommuters?

Check out some of the hubbub going on around PyCon. Also, look for Python-related meetups if you're in a major metro. Coincidentally with PyCon, Atlanta seems like a hotspot judging by the number of members of the PyATL and Django meetup g

Maybe someone can solve that hard problem while they're at it? Leverage whatever's keeping HN relatively spam-free.

Between this and the co-founders spreadsheet and the recurring 'Who's hiring?' threads, I think it's about time for a HackerJobs.com or something.

Can we create a real meetup.com meetup or whatever it is the kids are using these days for this?

something safer than a parking lot One of those pools of colored balls at a McDonald's Kids Playland?

Great. And thanks for the link (should have searched for that).

"Most desirable" may be relative for each individual, but median sale price (or in Apple's case, profit margin) is a pretty good proxy for desirability at large.

Change the color, add this, add that, i want it this way. This reminds me of what's been going on in real-world architecture for years. If you want to build in Apple County, it's got to have green awnings and Spanish tile and stucco walls

This may come in handy as I'm in a bit of a quandry. I have stormpulse.net and stormpulse.org registered through Yahoo!, and they want $43.95 per year (!) per domain. I'm afraid of letting them lapse, but I feel completely gouged. I've

I had no idea HN's defense mechanisms were this sophisticated.

Just a few ideas: * A little structure could go a long way (for scraping). * A field for startup name * Picture * "Next >"? Sometimes I wish I could just page through profile pages by karma descending. Random might be fun too. * Last

Makes me think so much more could be done with profile pages on HN.

Unless you aren't starting from scratch, as you said ("legacy Flash code") in your other comment.

I think you're actually agreeing with me here. I am saying that this project Gordon has appeal for folks that may want to do something like display a SWF in iPhone Safari.

How is it not useful for people that need to be successful in an era when browsers aren't bridging those gaps themselves?
