I'm also constantly surprised at how unpopular docker swarm is given that everyone already uses docker itself. Why do you think swarm is going away though? I love the idea of just using my docker compose file as my deployment config.

Many game developers use Discord to organize beta tests, gauge feedback, share announcements and manage and measure their community following in general. The fans feel good for being included in the process and the devs feel good knowing roughly how many people they can expect to buy their games at launch time. I hope they figure out a good way to monetize this, since I see it as their killer app.

I've noticed this annecdotally when trying to buy a home on separate occasions in the New York and LA metro areas. I'm not sure it's foreign capital, but the majority of winning bids were all cash offers above the asking price.

I'd love to see a retrospective analysis on Vancouver's protective measures to see if they did actually help, or if buyers found loopholes, or it wasn't Chinese buyers to begin with.

Needs to be updated to show which of my friends use which system

So just to clarify, the client code still connects directly to the actual redis instance, it doesn't connect to the failover daemon as a proxy? It would be useful to describe the connection algorithm in the README.

Also, the split of the reads and writes, that's done via opening connections to both the master and slave?

It's public beta, but it works pretty well so far.

It's funny, when I went to visit a friend at Etsy after work hours, we were chatting in the kitchen and their CEO, Rob Kalin was washing dishes. My friend said to him, "That's awesome that you're the CEO and you're washing the dishes, Rob." And he replied, "Oh, it's better than when I was cleaning the bathrooms."

"Groupon looked like a very high valuation," Horowitz said, "but any investment in a great company at any stage is almost always a good investment."

I don't think I'd want to hear that statement come from someone who is investing my money.

Yeah, that was my hunch as well. Shit's gonna hit the fan once retail investors start biting on overvalued companies...

Why would you prepare for an IPO so quickly after closing a $950 million funding round? Is their burn rate that high?

Sorry, didn't know it was a dupe. I figured hackernews would have told me when I tried to submit it.

I love The Onion's take on our work-life imbalance:

Beautiful. This belongs in the MoMA.

Yup, exactly. See also: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1007750

I worked at a profitable, medium size company with a startup-like hacker culture and it was still very difficult to hire talented programmers despite being able to offer interesting work that provided a net benefit to society, normal hours, free soda and career development. We'd have to go through many, many candidates who looked good on paper (lots of experience, top tier education) but were awful once you presented them with basic programming problems. It was actually pretty demoralizing to have to reject the volume of people that we did.

I do agree that there are a lot of silly startups these days, but it doesn't mean that there isn't also a shortage of quality hackers.

After registering through my facebook account and picking my photos, I kind of got lost. Instead of leaving the user off at the photo edit page (http://tastebuds.fm/users/current/edit#load_images) maybe direct them to artists or profile tab>

Hopefully they fixed the rampant spam problems as well

Foursquare is the Friendster of location based services. First in the space to take advance of the technology but having trouble moving past the initial novelty. We're still waiting on the Facebook of location based services. (And Facebook isn't it)

SSL. Respect.

Looks like posting a youtube embed in the comments breaks things

I'm really happy that people are following WebMachine's example in providing a framework that guides you in how to do http from a high level, instead of just providing access to the low level guts. Looking forward to seeing how Clothesline evolves.

I regret focusing on getting good grades in school instead of building strong connections with people.

Agreed that OTP is the meat. After writing my first gen_server, Erlang finally clicked with me. This series of blog posts served as a great tutorial to all the OTP behaviours: http://spawnlink.com/articles/tag/otp-introduction/

I think the hard part about working off of intuition is communicating it to others. I often find myself working backwards to justify out my intuition, and I think it comes across as me just making stuff up.

Does anyone know any good alternatives to Gmail? I briefly looked to switch back when they released Buzz, but there aren't any good competitors that match Gmail's ease of use, spam protection, and (previous) speed. Seems like it'd be a good opportunity for young, hungry startup. I think I'd pay $3-5 a month for a really solid email service.

Does anyone know if it will sync with Macs?

can you explain?
