@alexcroox can't reply directly for some reason, hopefully you'll see this.

It's possible, see https://slack.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201727913-Connec... for more details. You'll lose the history though. We've been using native clients more or less, all are working fine.

We switched from HipChat recently, so far it's working fine. The only thing we miss are cross team notifications, but apparently they are working on it (can't find the link at the moment).

Re:Why I killed my standing desk on Sunday March 23, 2014 @08:08AM (#7453035)
My thought exactly. I've been using a standing desk for over a year now, yet I'm hardly standing still for more than an hour at a time. If nothing else, I go and grab a cup of water or simply just walk around the office for a minute or two.

Having this enabled in development and testing environments sounds like a good idea to me, any thoughts? Will definitely try it out locally asap.
Re:Ask HN: PHP vs. Node.js vs. Go for a new startup? on Sunday November 03, 2013 @02:59PM (#6664731)
If you count on 100k visitors per day, it doesn't really matter which one you choose. We are serving well over 10M page views daily and we don't see a reason to switch away from PHP yet.

The only reason I see you might want to go with Node or Go is if you want to attract developers who like to work with latest technologies. If you want to do the first version yourself, then choose the one you are most comfortable with. When you need to scale (from technical and resource perspective), make sure to analyse all aspects of it before going into one direction.

Re:All your Facebook Access Tokens are belong to us on Tuesday October 29, 2013 @12:20PM (#6635302)
How would you store access tokens on a device, using two-way encryption or do you have something else in mind?
Re:For the Love of God, Ask FizzBuzz on Sunday October 27, 2013 @04:02PM (#6623293)
Agreed, but I was unpleasantly surprised when the first senior applicant couldn't solve FizzBuzz. And the one after. And another one. Since then FizzBuzz like basic tasks are part of every interview we conduct, not just for entry level positions. The only difference is the degree of simplicity.
