Same for Ottawa.

Time of day matters in addition to location, as you'll only be able to see it just after dusk or just before dawn when the sky is dark but the sun is still reflecting off the satellite

ISS Detector has this! Well, you can get push notifications when sightings are about to occur, and it takes weather info into account.

I'm not sure if it tracks the Humanity Star yet, but they've mentioned it on their twitter so I can see it being available soon:

Hackernews would probably be among them. Don't forget there's always a job ad on the front page for a YC company.

Obligatory plug for Stringer, my personal reader of choice: https://github.com/swanson/stringer

I wonder if/how Quebec's laws on language will apply to content hosted there.

My guess is that unless your business is actually in Quebec then you should be OK, but it's an interesting topic.

Can you really 'steal' public information?

It seems unnecessary to ask for the dimensions and path length, could those not be extracted from the template uploaded in the second step?

What makes this a 'town' and not just a plot of land? I'm assuming there's zero infrastructure to be managed, so what's left?

Since no-one has mentioned it yet, I'll throw in my personal favourite RSS reader: Stringer. Dead easy to set up and does away with all the social stuff that I never used in Google Reader

I think they're simply ploughing all their revenue back into growth through sales/marketing. If they wanted to they could turn down the customer acquisition spend and ride their recurring revenue to a tidy profit.

I have a Shopify app that makes ~$400/month gross revenue. Do your research first to make sure that you're filling the right niche, and you can definitely do alright.

Neat!

I realize that this was developed in-house by Pusher, but what I'd really like to see is floobits-atom reach maturity since their service is already editor-agnostic.

Looks like the font itself is OFL and any code is MIT, so reuse is perfectly reasonable.

Whether or not you think it's free, UE4 is absolutely open source: https://www.unrealengine.com/ue4-on-github

Lockitron wasn't funded on Kickstarter. They built their own self-hosted solution, called selfstarter: http://www.selfstarter.us/

I'd even drop the '.' requirement. Look for an @, then send a confirmation email. Done.

Yes. Drop me a line at david.underwood@shopify.com

I'd love a way to filter the options. Scanning through all the pics looking for all the laptop ones (for example) is annoying.

Otherwise: I like it!

I love this. Last year I was super-excited about the Nexus Q (I have my I/O freebie in a box somewhere) but was disappointed by a) the price and b) the lack of an SDK.

A year later, we get ChromeCast. It's a tenth of the size, a tenth of the price, and supports every device in my home. I'm glad Google decided not to run with the Q and had the balls to pull it out of production while they (I assume) worked on ChromeCast.

When your code crashes, it (usually) generates a report telling you what went wrong. This is an exception report.

An exception tracking service provides an place that you can send, store, and index these reports. It'll usually allow you to view them, search them, group similar errors, and generally provide tools that are useful when trying to resolve the problems that are occurring.

Have you tried talking to him?

I took a look at the site and I have no idea what it is. Care to elaborate?

I like the idea, but adding post-commit hooks to my repos is a big barrier to entry for me.

I'm working on a ruby version, the WIP can be seen on this pull request: https://github.com/adambard/learnxinyminutes-docs/pull/18

Yeah, that should be sheathed. Let's hope no-one texts for a coffee and starts a fire instead!

"Hugh Huddy is blind and works for visual impairment charities' umbrella group Vision 2020. He says he is always pleased to see a cone on a crossing"

Go on then.

Does this service require me to give up my private key for a given API? Seems like a huge security risk to me.
