calgaryeng··on How to create a self hosted API for development and testing
https://github.com/typicode/json-server
calgaryeng··on Panda: a tool for hackers and designers
This might not have been the best name for a product, given the very popular Pandas[1] package that will probably win in Google.

[1]: http://pandas.pydata.org/

calgaryeng··on Google+ Is Walking Dead
I'm pretty sure you can't even post to G+ using the API. In my opinion that's not even close to useful.
calgaryeng··on Ember Testing Guide v2.0
meh - it is just Javascript. No need to test it.

calgaryeng··on Astute.io – Business Intelligence For Startups
I agree. I was trying to find the "more information" button to no avail. Is this vaporware? How does this stuff end up on the front page.
calgaryeng··on Getting Started with Docker
I wish that people would stop writing tutorials on "getting started" with Docker, and actually start writing up examples of how to work with multiple containers, hosts, and linking.

That's the part that I (and I'm sure other beginners) get totally stuck on. Anyone can do docker commit/pull.

calgaryeng··on Save more with Google Drive
Put 1TB of data into Drive, and then lose it all when Google closes your account and has no humans to fix it....
calgaryeng··on I was wrong to be afraid of Angular.js
What exactly does "full-stack javascript developer" mean? You can write NodeJS on the backend and jQuery on the frontend?
calgaryeng··on Show HN: Goatee – Redis, WebSocket notifications in Go
404.
calgaryeng··on Docker Raises $15M

calgaryeng··on Jubilee, a new Rack server for JRuby based on the high-performance Vert.x
How does this compare to Torquebox? When would you use one over the other?
calgaryeng··on Bedrock: a modern WordPress stack
lol :)
calgaryeng··on Docker will change everything

And yet your President is still prioritizing coal over Canadian oilsands....
calgaryeng··on Digital Ocean giving $50 credits on Black Friday to new customers
Thanks for posting this!
calgaryeng··on A day in the life of a stackoverflow moderator...

calgaryeng··on Battle-ready Nginx – an optimization guide
breif --> brief
calgaryeng··on About the new iWork for Mac: Features and compatibility
A spreadsheet program without "Multi-column and range sort"?

They are definitely catering to a specific group of people here (i.e. nobody who has ever used a spreadsheet in a remotely technical fashion EVER -- my monthly budget tracker??)

calgaryeng··on Ember Charts: An easily extensible chart suite built with D3.js and Ember.js
THIS IS AWESOME. I was looking for something like this, and was really sad I was going to have to write something myself.... THANK YOU.
calgaryeng··on Show HN: Introducing Harp – A static web server with built in preprocessing
I was going to ask the same question. Thanks.
calgaryeng··on Groundwater Contamination May End the Gas-Fracking Boom
You have no idea what you are talking about. Tech people on HN pretending to know the intricacies of environmental impact of energy development ...
calgaryeng··on Hexo – A fast, simple and powerful blog framework
Give my weekend project a shot. www.snaphost.me

No email support at the moment, but automatically updateds markdown files in your Dropbox.

calgaryeng··on Why I left Heroku, and notes on my new AWS setup
I think it is much less than 6 hours. Like 30 mins or so.
calgaryeng··on A Year of MongoDB
I don't understand how this argument keeps coming up. If you use rails, schema changes and migrations are DEAD EASY and I am not even a professional developer. What time exactly are you saving ??
calgaryeng··on Ask HN: So I want to start a health insurance company
Insurance is a very complicated business. Given you've listed negotiating rates with doctors as your first bullet, I imagine you should do some reading first on just how complicated the financial and regulatory side of the business is.

You can't just "charge more in premiums than you pay out". That is how insurance USED to work. Nowadays it's all about carry on people's money. If you are posting on hacker news about insurance I think you are in over your head :(

calgaryeng··on Those with $120K+ salaries... what do you do?
Work in "real" engineering in oil&gas.
calgaryeng··on Show HN: Chocolate.js, Live Web Ide and Framework
You have first world problems my friend.
calgaryeng··on Stabilizing Ember Data
People really need to stop ragging on the Ember team... "Too hard to learn", "I'm abandoning it for now", etc. etc. etc.

These guys are making a (potentially) awesome framework in the spirit of open source, for you, for free. If you want to complain, start your own framework! I honestly admire their patience for putting something amazing out there, and then having to continuously write these almost apologetic blog posts talking about how they are going to work hard to make things better.
