Has anyone put something together like this yet? Would be a very interesting read.

Ah, that is an interesting tactic. I think I'd be worried there's some 0.0001% chance Amazon would find out and ask for all the money back.

>Did your laptop selection site just replicate the data from Amazon, or did it try and do something novel?

I thought it was novel. It was basically a guided questionnaire that asked you about your needs and price point and then spit out a laptop recommendation at the end

I assume this is using some kind of amazon pricing API under the hood. Does anyone know how to get access to that kind of API without already being a successful affiliate?

I think the columns could use some basic sorting, but otherwise yes

That wasn't the issue I had at the time. I had the required disclaimers but they still rejected me because the sole purpose of my site was to sell their products.

I'm a bit surprised Amazon allowed this page to do affiliate marketing like this. I had a similar page but much more generalized to laptops and they told me my site had to have some other content: it couldn't just exist to promote the amazon products. If they've changed their stance on this then great!

I working in XP for a bit and the constant pair programming aspect was simply too fatiguing for me. I enjoy pairing every now and then on certain problems, but the constant presence of another person left me utterly drained at the end of every day.

I get frustrated by articles like this that use words like "hit" or "impact" or "affect." I've learned nothing. What will be the effect?

Almost spit out my coffee at that, thanks

>The FAA said the inspections will take between four and eight hours per plane.

Seems reasonable. I was wondering if a single event should really be enough to "ground" all similar planes, but seems like they just want to do a quick inspection.

OP's solution isn't remote code execution though. It's all in-browser, which is why it's pretty cool. Assuming you're only running code that the client themselves are providing, you're in pretty good shape from a security perspective.

There may be some middle ground where the download starts when you click in a text editor, or hover over the "run" button

Wow:

Wow, how does a wikipedia page on this exist?

Congrats on HN post success. Did you get any criticism? How did you handle it? That's my biggest concern with writing and sharing more on the internet: people can be pretty darn ruthless when they don't agree with you.

Yes would work just fine

I don't think I'm the intended audience for this. I don't particularly want to build the foundations of tomorrow. I want to enjoy a comfortable life with my family. If I get to write some fun software along the way then that's cool too, but certainly a distant second place.

Was Fusebox a predecessor to ColdBox?
