You can see a screenshot of the application at the bottom of Sentry's "Features" [1] page.

We host a lot of our applications on Google Compute Engine but have had many issues with even simple features available from other cloud providers. For example, Google's HTTP(S) Load Balancer offering does not support SNI [1], HTTP to HTTPS forwarding [2], or sticky sessions [3], making it unusable for us. The support we pay for has been pretty helpful, but all we hear is "we have a feature request for this but I cannot provide an ETA on when and if this will be implemented". Many of the issues in the Compute Engine public issue tracker [4] haven't been updated in many months or over a year in some cases. Additionally, it can be very confusing finding out which beta services can only be accessed via the gcloud tool and not the web console. Without the ability to even schedule a window for maintenance on our VMs, we often feel like we do not have the control we need over our hosting environment. Please increase your transparency around addressing Google Cloud issues, all the Docker updates have been great, but many of these issues are over a year old and still show-stoppers for some users. Thanks again for churning out new features/services constantly, but please help close out some of these older feature requests!

I found the two previous YC startups I worked for in Who's Hiring threads, so they've been a great resource for me. Usually you'll get in touch with an engineer/manager quickly and often you'll learn of available positions that may not be listed publicly. User manlio has some great suggestions for contacting the companies (personalize, but keep it short).

I have an HTC One X on AT&T (came out last year) and HTC will not give bootloader unlock codes from HTC Dev for phones with an AT&T CID. You have to use a root exploit to change the CID that was patched in the last firmware update, but has now been cracked again. Unfortunately, it seems no hardware manufacturer has any consistent policies.

Here is the SPDY indicator I use for Chrome. It's also simple and works well.

I believe MacBooks do the same thing with the Power on/off key as well. It's a good idea.

It's very easy to extend Nginx with Lua [1] to create a custom Nginx setup for fast API endpoint authentication, diverting beta users, or handling sockets. I'm hoping to see Lua continue to grow and solve some of its shortcomings like unicode support and pattern matching.

I sent a pull request to fix the styling of validation errors on the login form. Great project and I look forward to updates!

Have you checked out http://www.hnshowcase.com? While it's a separate site, they have a collection updated daily featuring Show HN posts.

I found it pretty interesting that the donation web site Walter Jr. sets up for his dad in season 2 episode 12 actually exists: http://savewalterwhite.com

As the owner of a Nexus One I've had some frustrating experiences with Google's customer services. They frustrated a lot of users [1] and it was obvious they were unprepared to handle support issues and angry customers. HTC and Apple both offer exemplary customer service and Google will have a lot of work to do to match them in customer satisfaction.

Enabling this behavior by default makes a lot of sense. It's likely that most Git beginners are unaware of the upstream argument and its behavior. Looking forward to further Git usability improvements.

I recommend the cross-platform Sublime Text editor. It's very similar to Textmate, providing basic features and syntax highlighting, while staying out of your way. With its plugins you can easily add additional features.

I'm curious to see when/if they update the Windows key on laptops and keyboards.

Nice to see some added security features, including more secure password hashing.

Here is a direct link to the changes: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/releases/1.4-beta-1/#w...

Looks like a little of the Topic line on each language page is cut off by your header. I'm running Chrome on Mac OS X.

Looks like they caved and will release a tool soon to unlock the bootloader. It will void the warranty and disable Google Market video rentals.

Any idea when the Google Data API and Data Feed Query Explorer will be updated to let us retrieve these new metrics?
