bfcapell··on Migraine is more than a headache – a rethink offers hope
Anecdotal, but: I know someone with relevant migraine problems did a log of everything she was eating or doing, searching for possible triggers. After a few weeks there were a couple of suspects: glutamate, chocolate, and also some legumes. Removing these worked and reduced greatly the amount and extent of the problem. Currently legumes is ok sometimes, but consuming one of the first two is almost a guaranteed episode.
bfcapell··on Amazon sells out of the NES Classic Edition in less than a minute
"At the time I was at Amazon, working on the retail site, none of Amazon.com was running on AWS. I know, when AWS was announced, with great fanfare, they said "the services that power Amazon.com can now power your business!" or words to that effect. This was a flat out lie."

bfcapell··on Japan's radiation disaster toll: none dead, none sick
None dead, because it doesn't matter how many decontamination workers die from leukemia or heart problems, it is never officially related to radiation.

None sick, because the increase in cancer that even the article mentions means nothing.

The thyroid cancer rate of Fukushima children is 79 times higher than usual. But "none sick". Yeah, whatever.

bfcapell··on Static Sites on Heroku
I tried a few other buildpacks like the nginx ones, in the end this was the only one that didn't force me to configure or adapt anything, just worked, so thanks a lot! :)
bfcapell··on Static Sites on Heroku
Two weeks ago I was looking for this. This is the easiest way I found to do it:

heroku create myproject --stack cedar --buildpack https://github.com/pearkes/heroku-buildpack-static

bfcapell··on Show HN: hateratio.com, how much hated?
Thanks people for your comments! Didn't know about "Sucks/Rocks", yes, the idea is basically the same. In fact, I considered using something like loveorhate.com but the domain was already taken.

It's curious that now, some days later, the "windows" and "wall street" hate ratio is down a lot. Oh and try querying "justin bieber"...
