Re:Fhtagn – a tiny CLI programs tester written in Awk on Tuesday June 20, 2023 @03:04AM (#36400646)
I've been using https://www.prysk.net/ for the past few months, and I really like the simplicity of running a programming and using standard tools to validate the output and any system changes. Here's a bunch of tests in the turborepo codebase if anyone is interested https://github.com/vercel/turbo/tree/main/turborepo-tests/in...

Re:The Evolution of Ember.js at Intercom on Monday March 09, 2020 @02:29PM (#22528155)
The ease of updating Ember apps is really great. I've helped take apps through the early 2.x to latest 3.x. There has been some tedious work involved, but on the whole, I usually know exactly what to do to get the new features. Not breaking existing features is a godsend, because the rest of the team can keep developing features and we can introduce new features via lint rules at a reasonable pace.

I'd like to venture another guess even further that this is possibly the furthest venture anyone can guess.

Shouldn't naan and generic "roti/chappati" be in the list also?
Speaking of newsletters, I'd like to voice my love of tinyletter.com. I used it for the first time in 2010 and it's just as awesome 5 years later after the Mailchimp acquisition. I just started another newsletter on it last week and love the experience of using it. (Not posting the newsletter here because I don't want more subscribers and it's off topic), but yes. TinyLetter is <3.
Re:Testing a way for you to make purchases on Twitter on Monday September 08, 2014 @11:22AM (#8285247)
I'd be pretty likely to buy music off Twitter if it was released there exclusively. Come to think of it, I'd be highly likely to buy one-off items from Etsy, Gumroad, and Amazon through my Twitter stream as well.
Continuous play would be nice! Watching all 27 episodes in one sitting to get up to speed.
Or on brace.io (aka Dropbox)
This is great. Just met someone who works at the FoodBank and as she described some of her tech problems it became pretty apparent that some basic CRUD apps could save them many, many hours every year. I do not think this is an uncommon thing.
May favorite part is the sound byte when you finish a level. "Yeaaah"
Re:Blonk – a Tinder for Jobs iOS/Android app on Wednesday February 19, 2014 @12:08AM (#7261913)
I would ranodomize it. I don't want to see all the positions for the same company one after the other. Also, the Filter section froze (maybe because it was still attempting to load all the filters? Maybe pagination would fix that?)

Nope, didn't try Cloudfront. I'll look into it, thanks!
Re:Free static page hosting on Google App Engine in minutes on Monday February 17, 2014 @02:52PM (#7254068)
Is there a way to redirect all[1] requests to index.html? The use case is an Ember app that uses history location and is deployed as a static website. In this case, requests to `/whatever` still need to serve index.html and let Ember handle the routing. Can GAE app.yaml specify rules like this?

I ran into this problem with S3 and ended up writing a simple server to handle it and deploying to Heroku.

[1] By all, I mean all except the ones to /assets or something similar.

Re:Ask HN: What'd you do to get your first 100 users? on Sunday February 16, 2014 @07:32PM (#7249995)
Reach out to 100 strategic people individually.
Learn how to learn new things. Learn how not to get stagnated. Learn how not to be afraid to leave the comfortable. Practice these things and you'll be good for the next 50-100 years.
This post reminds me of the joke about the Native Americans getting ready for winter[1]

This is a great idea, but I don't know if I'm comfortable with outsourcing empathy. I donate when I (or someone I trust and like) come across a cause worth supporting. I have very few recurring donations.
Re:Ember.js 1.0 Released on Sunday September 01, 2013 @08:28AM (#6310100)
I haven't contributed much to the community or the code, but I've been around the chatrooms and keeping up with the story for around a year now. (also been actively using ember on personal and work projects). The community around Ember is amazing and it blows my mind how so many people have been working so passionately on this project. Congratulations to the team. Really well done.

There's also some great work going on with cookbooks that should be released soon. https://github.com/emberjs/website/tree/master/source/guides...

What about draftin.com? I use that already and I like it a lot.
Re:Why You’ve Never Read “I Have A Dream” on Thursday August 29, 2013 @12:18PM (#6296659)
In 9th grade I memorized and delivered the I Have a Dream speech for my English Honors program. I memorized it by reading it over and over again and I also found an audio recording that I burned onto a CD and listened to 10 times every night. It took me 16 minutes to deliver the whole speech (in costume). I have no idea where I found the audio recording now, although NPR sounds right.
