I've dealt with this by getting another IP and pointing a subdomain at it, then I can start all over again with port 80. Your point still stands for this discussion, though.

I know lots of HNers ordered this. Has anyone received a unit? I'd be interested in reading some more about it. I am still on the pre-order list simply because I had forgotten about the product altogether since I have heard so little rece

Before you get an extended life battery may as well take a look at some information. Here is a thread where people are talking about using the Seidio 1750 mAh in their Evo: http://androidforums.com/accessories-evo-4g/88887-seidio-inn... A

My point is that a potential for abuse is not a specific enough criticism. Drinking and driving is illegal because it endangers property and other people, public drunkenness is illegal because it is a nuisance, smoking in public buildings

Heavy drinkers can be pretty non-functioning as well, and result in arguably more collateral damage. Most anything can be abused.

Call my cynical but my impression of this is that when I pre-ordered they must have literally had nothing done. I understanding some of the tricks you might pull to perform customer validation but their approach seems unambiguously disin

I read HN multiple times a day and have for a while now. I do not care about search at all. This site doesn't really have any features, and I don't care - I come here for the community. Just another data point fwiw.

Oops, thanks for the heads up, posted in a hurry this morning. Nice recap of details I had read a bit of a few years ago... also, highscalability is a great blog that is likely of interest to many HNers.

It is just a form of message passing / broadcasting. Simplest example is chat. More complex example is Google Wave.

I'm working to accomplish something similar with Redis's pub/sub and Rosepad Socket.IO for handling persisting the client connection. If anyone has ideas questions or suggestions related to this strategy or these technologies I'd love to t

This is great. Their walking paths work alright for this purpose, since there are many paths you can get routed over that are not roads. This project will add many new paths so that is a good thing. There are several issues with walking

The article seems to focus on the big picture of log files of services that are all interconnected in some way... this makes for the most impressive mental picture perhaps, forming "the tributaries feeding an ocean of data in the Cloud"; ho

This should integrate really nicely into any of the MVC frameworks, just tell the hub whenever a model is created or updated that has its own page which you want to be indexed. I understand you can generate and submit sitemaps, but pinging

What about the very common cases where you need to do very simple things, like common CRUD operations? Abstracting the SQL required for these simple queries makes a lot of sense to me.

Everyone is tainted by their own experience, I suppose, but I feel like I get to work on plenty of interesting problems. What bothers me (and this author it seems) is having to spend your time learning arbitrary things, such as an XML form

Is this solely due to content delivery speeds? Or, was the prior slowness due in part to producing dynamic content? Congrats on the change, getting your page to appear more quickly on the users screen is hugely beneficial.

This is great news. Further adoption of web sockets and PuSH (a little less ridiculous than PubSubHubBub) is good for developers and users alike. More interesting web experiences for users, and more business and hobby opportunities for de

One issue with this approach is that the author is allowing users to start the background work, rather than putting it into a queue like he had been doing with his prior site. If his site gets slammed, this will be a problem, whereas with

I often use lists in the development of a new feature, and do not consider it a creativity killer. Start with an insight, and break it down into simple steps or components. If this list is crap, it is obvious at that point and can be scra
