Re:Drizzle7, a Rackspace backed MySQL fork - The icing on the cake

One of the best features in drizzle for me is its flexible replication, i built rabbitreplication about a year ago which replicates from drizzle to basically anything over rabbitmq.

* note that rabbitreplication needs a bit of love to actually work since the GBP messages have changed since i last had time to update it.

The key point for me in this article was:
"resourcing for projects is purely voluntary."
As someone who works for an online gambling company where we are not even allowed to use the product we are building (legal/trust issues i guess), it would _rock_ to be able to have this kind of impact on features
Re:Why You Should Switch to the Dvorak Keyboard Layout
on Monday August 23, 2010 @11:54AM (#1627097)
I switched to dvorak with a http://typematrix.com keyboard about 10 months ago and not looking back, only drawback is that i cant type on the laptop anymore. Having the enter and backspace keys in the middle of the keyboard is truly the biggest benefit for me, hitting enter with a "strong" finger really makes a difference.
The main reason i switched to dvorak was that i wanted a typematrix keyboard and if i was relearning where the enter key etc is, i could as well switch to dvorak.
It took about three months to be as fast as qwerty.

Ask HN: Distributed teams
So, recently there has been a lot of talk about how good distributed teams are, but, i'm having problems finding companies that actually do it. So, it would be awesome to get a list of companies that allow for people to work from home most/all of the time.
