Re:zztmmo - classic zzt game engine + node.js + jQuery on Thursday May 06, 2010 @06:23AM (#1324065)
i cant tell if its antinode or what, but the server is randomly dying serving the static content. its not outputting any error messages either.

i'm going to have to run ab or tsung against it later to pinpoint the problem :-(

edit: just updated from 1.92 to 1.93...

i dont think it could be an antinode problem because the way im hosting this is that antinode is a child process of the application host. if antinode was crashing it would just restart gracefully, instead of the whole server is going down

edit 2: seems to be working now.....we'll see

Let me know if you have any questions or comments. Please be gentle, its been a one month death march or so to get v0.1.0 out.

There is a lot of room for improvement everywhere.

hook.io is FOSS and Saas

SNS is just Saas

Re:The Don't Be a Dick License on Monday April 05, 2010 @06:01PM (#1243226)
Isn't the whole point of FOSS that the code can be redistributed without caring about issues like this?

A person who does not respect the time and energy that have been invested in the Project, and acts to punish such effort by giving others associated with the Project -- including, but not limited to, the Author -- a hard time. A Dick is nearly always selfish, but not necessarily with deliberate intent; some Dicks are merely thoughtless. The distinguishing characteristic of a Dick is that he or she places burdens upon Reasonable People, reducing their motivation to engage in open source activities. This damping effect is a significant detriment to the Project, to open source in general, to the production of new intellectual value in the world -- and, ultimately, to the Dick himself or herself.

Sound pretty subjective to me.

Yeah there were a ton of awesome PHP frameworks and Python web frameworks in 2002.

CF was one of the nicer programming languages I've ever worked with. Circa 2002-2005 there wasn't anything close to a better alternative.

The down-fall of CF was Rails since Rails is open-source, huge community, is free, and powered by Ruby. CF was closed sourced, small community, and powered by Java. Yuck.

Re:Impel - HTML5 Javascript ORM on Sunday March 21, 2010 @07:22PM (#1208831)
I'm pretty sure I could write a better JS ORM in less then 10k unpacked (no comments / docs).
Re:Impel - HTML5 Javascript ORM on Sunday March 21, 2010 @05:37PM (#1208655)
32k packed is pretty fucking big for a JS ORM.....
I think most people are missing the point here.

Sure some people will get rejected for having inappropriate content associated with their name, but the lack of having a good online persona is way worse then having a bad one.

What do I mean? Do you have a professional blog? Are you an active commenter on any professional mailing lists or forums? Do you help run or maintain any open-source projects? Does googling your name reveal a comprehensive history of your career?

I know personally that I get most job offers directly from my github account and linked in account.

I really wanted to apply for this, but the project I'm working on doesn't really require any funding at this point. Also, I'm based in NYC.

Re:Hacker News Job Board? on Wednesday February 17, 2010 @11:52PM (#1133443)
go to local meetup groups for some of the technologies you are looking for.

if there aren't any local meetup groups start one.

Re:SeedStart NYC on Wednesday February 17, 2010 @04:19PM (#1132614)
I would highly recommend not bringing your idea / company to seedstart.

I had a bad experience with them and so have a lot of other people I've spoken with in NYC.

Last I heard Owen Davis gave 250k (nyc seed money) to a friend of his and the company went broke in less then 6 months.

Re:Ask HN: Who's Hiring? on Sunday February 07, 2010 @07:00PM (#1108525)
i got stood up twice by the founder of drop.io who never showed up to two separate meetings he setup.

really awesome to have to pay $20 you don't have for a taxi to meet the companies founder and then have them not show up, twice.

i would highly advise against applying
