Re:Ever heard of "Low orbit server stations"? on Monday March 19, 2012 @09:11AM (#3723735)
I love the idea and I was actually thinking of doing something similar myself.

Any drones under 400ft and don't leave line of sight of the operator are legal.d

It's real, they show each of your keys and ask to approve each one.

A bunch of babies. Start your own company then.
Re:How (not) to sell your iOS app on Wednesday June 29, 2011 @01:46PM (#2710416)
I could see that. You need a goal of some sort. Like rescuing eggs from pigs.

C'mon man, this is targeted to FPs people. You need a better reticule than that!

That's true, they use the java based web objects framework.

Store is up. Verizon customers may now upgrade
Re:Ask HN: Would you pay for this app? on Thursday January 06, 2011 @11:48AM (#2076001)
That sounds like what I want, maybe I can use that for myself.

Ask HN: Would you pay for this app?

I have an idea for an app and would like feedback as to whether you would want it and how much you would pay. I basically want to make something like Dropbox where you can store your files online and they are automatically synced, but instead of storing your files on a third party's servers, store them on your own computers.

Re:Ask PG: do you want HN to be a general news site or not? on Wednesday December 29, 2010 @10:00AM (#2048805)
Leave it the way it is! If hackers find it interesting it'll get upvoted. For example, I upvoted the bee story the other day. It was a really interesting article and I don't think my wife, for example, would give any shits about it.

Screenflow is the shizzz
Sounds like personal preference. This site is for natural selection. If people are interested in it then it will get voted up. Voted Up because I've often wondered it myself

Ha. Mine's the same. MAybe that'll be my next project.
Re:Keep the Cat Out of the Cradle with Arduino on Tuesday November 23, 2010 @02:08PM (#1934955)
I was wondering about that. I think I'll try it. You just have to change the second number in the playTone(1000, 500); call.
Re:Keep the Cat Out of the Cradle with Arduino on Tuesday November 23, 2010 @02:07PM (#1934945)
Agreed. I at the very least wouldn't want the baby to be awakened by the cat.
Re:Ask HN: Particularly elegant programs to study? on Wednesday November 17, 2010 @01:58PM (#1915279)
I've heard that Postfix is as close to perfect you can get, but I haven't dived in personally.
I've used Django for years, but Flask is the bomb.

Ahh, it was Cultured Code that uses it. I was looking for fastspring. Thanks, you pointed me in the right direction
Re:Ask HN: Most popular server-side high level languages? on Monday October 11, 2010 @04:30PM (#1781113)
PHP is the quickest to get up and going and will probably be the cheapest to host. Unless you go the Google App Engine route. PHP is probably the most promiscuous though.
