Re:FlyWeb – Pure Web Cross-Device Interaction on Saturday September 10, 2016 @03:59PM (#12470655)
This is a cool idea. I'd love to see it easy to create apps that can communicate using something like this and/or Bluetooth mesh networks

Ask HN: Is anyone using json schema?

I am building a JSON editor/viewer that conforms to a schema. It is sort of like a non developer friendly way to edit or view documented JSON. The best resource i've found for any kind of existing JSON schema standard is at http://json-schema.orgEither I have not been paying attention or I have not seen many API's or other JSON related software using any kind of schema for reference or...

Any clue as to how this will be priced? Before I even consider putting time into this i'd like to know how competitive the pricing is going to be if this graduates.

Okay this one is hilarious.

I especially liked the box "This question is intentionally left blank"

Re:Redis as the primary data store on Monday April 08, 2013 @12:10PM (#5512569)
Short Answer: No

Here is the redis author's blog post about that: http://antirez.com/news/52

My guess is that SSD's would be beneficial in ensuring the Append-Only-File and RDB snapshots are faster.

Re:Top Tech Certifications That Can Net You A $100,000+ Salary on Wednesday April 03, 2013 @01:18PM (#5487429)
This should be titled "Top Tech Certifications" which is totally different than "Top Tech Skills" which is a list I was hoping to see.
Re:SendGrid has terminated the employment of Adria Richards? on Thursday March 21, 2013 @01:14PM (#5416896)
If her role was "Developer Evangelist" she has done more harm than good. The thought of walking on eggshells worried about everything I say would be enough to get me to either switch companies or avoid working there.

I did the same thing. Followed them on twitter just to be aware of the outage status without having to go look for it.
Similar to gmail in chrome where you can press ctrl+v (cmd+v mac) to paste and if it is an image it uploads the image for you as if you just dragged a file.

Another example that uses it is: http://mysticpaste.com

Just get an image in your clipboard and paste in the box

Just add the ability to paste an image from the clipboard (on supported browsers obviously) and its great!

Now I can finally do all the special moves whenever I want! FINALLY!
The sooner the better. I'd like to see IE<10 dead and enough adoption of ie10 to get the other guys competing for speed and features again. It would also be awesome if ie10 would self update like Chrome and Firefox.

Unfortunately enterprise IT will probably block this for a while.

this made me laugh pretty good. thanks!
Re:Apple Pulls 500px’s Mobile Apps From The App Store on Tuesday January 22, 2013 @03:27PM (#5099364)
Well I was going to write: Time to pull safari

But then I checked tech crunch's comments and it seems that I would be very unoriginal. Same goes for any of the other apps mentioned...

So to trump them all:

Time to disable the internet!

Re:Large-scale HTTP and websocket routing with Hipache on Wednesday January 16, 2013 @05:47PM (#5069557)
Forgive me for not reading the entire thing. I searched the text for HTTPS and SSL and it found nothing. So dotcloud can load balance WSS (SSL websockets) right? And on a custom domain?
Re:Lost On New Myspace. Can’t Escape Justin. Send Help. on Tuesday January 15, 2013 @05:11PM (#5063398)
When trying it out I thought that I would be impressed but end up not using it. I left annoyed.

They did do a great job making it clear and easy to delete your account though. Kudos for that.

This is a great idea. I want this.
Re:The FBI's Scientology investigation on Monday January 14, 2013 @03:20PM (#5056394)
I wonder if some of their techniques could be used for a hacker boot camp. Voluntarily subject yourself to psychological abuse in order to get rid of distractions and achieve "the zone" or high productive states. Great for those experiencing longer than usual spells of burn-out. Mind hacking you back into shape.

I am the target market for this. Unless I have to pay.
Re:HN first days on Friday January 11, 2013 @03:56AM (#5041945)
With only a few exceptions. It's the same site.

The one site that stood out the most is excite.com

Out of curiosity. Do any developers reading this refer to themselves as "techie" ?

Am I the only one who finds this term to be suspicious?

What if we don't want money? Would you take less equity to simply help form the business and grow the product?

I can afford to build and host a product that I would use. I am looking for someone that can validate and grow the business, leaving me to do what I am good at, which is Product.

Awesome.
Can anyone recommend any good interactive charting examples for many-to-many relationships?
Re:Americans Think Cloud Computing Comes From Actual Clouds on Wednesday August 29, 2012 @06:12PM (#4451674)
"To get the embarrassing statistics out of the way first, the survey found that 51 percent of respondents believe that stormy weather can interfere with cloud computing"

Didn't stormy weather take out amazon recently?

Since the primary intent of the app is to help manage where your minutes go and make the process of managing the app as minimal and streamlined as possible - have you considered optionally enabling automated time keeping. Things like how much time you spend on phone calls, using your phone in general. GPS insights like driving time, time spent at home/office/bar. Anything that you could reasonably guess given the different features of the phone?
Will it track how much time you spend setting up/managing the data in the app?
The new version looks really good. When will that be available?
Re:Why you should not be displaying relative dates. on Thursday August 23, 2012 @06:11PM (#4425126)
I find relative dates to be the most useful, most of the time. The scenarios where needing the exact date or time come less frequently.

The argument for screenshots is valid, however, sites like failbook where you see the post progression as X minutes ago still provide you the quick glance benefit of relative dates.

wanted to try the demo game. don't have/want a facebook account. didn't get to try it.
