Yes. See http://www.ycombinator.com/faq/#q16.

I use Harvest: http://www.getharvest.com/

Looks fantastic, thanks for this!

What would've happened had the "stool" not been there?

It seemed (though perhaps the footage was slowed) that the plane descended vertically pretty slowly, so it would've banged the nose on the carrier at touchdown, but would that have been severe?

Frontier's awesome, but they're not available in any apartments in the area and they've ceased fiber expansion a few years back :/

@robzyb hit the nail on the head - a great many of us just want something that works, every day. At some point in my life I loved tinkering with my OS, jumping between distros weekly, etc. now I just want to get things done. I used desktop Linux for 10 years before jumping to OS X in 2011.

I'm sure people will immediately chime in and say that Thinkpads work well with Ubuntu or that System76 does the job, and I'm sure it does, but the experience of running OS X on Apple hardware is simply unmatched.

Welp, that's new since I signed up. Will be calling them tomorrow - thanks for pointing that out!

I live in Kirkland (a suburb of Seattle). Paying Comcast $50/month for "Blast Plus" which is 50 mbps + TV, while it's ~$69 for just 50mbps internet. Both are "promo rates" (aka call the retention dpt. once they run out and you'll get them for another year).

Yep, this is the case here as well. Paying Comcast for TV + internet because it's $15/month cheaper than internet alone. The cable box they sent me is sitting unpacked in the closet.

It's studio.zerobrane.com (pointing to pkulchenko.github.io/ZeroBraneStudio); thanks for looking into it!

You can, but then you get automated emails from Github Support telling you that your DNS config is wrong and that you should be using CNAMEs rather than A records (since Cloudflare flattens the virtual CNAMEs to As if you do a DNS lookup).

It's interesting that the difference in productivity is only 12%. I'd think a happy developer would be significantly more productive than a miserable one, far beyond 12%, just from personal experience of coding when I'm down and when I'm not.

You mean that service that's only available in a few very dense high-rises around the city? Doesn't really help the vast majority of people living in the Seattle area. Still holding out hope for Google Fiber, or, really, anyone but Comcast.

Coding stops being fun. You do it because you have to, not because you want to, and you do as little of it as possible. You stop caring about new tech and exploring new things because you're just not interested anymore.

Much like depression, but specifically work related.

I've been there, and come back there at times when I overwork myself and don't get outside enough. Not fun.

They're just asking for one of their lucky cease-and-desist recipients to countersue and strip them of the right to use their own trademark, forcing them to rename their game.

It's happened before. Seems like a risky and stupid decision on their part.

Looking at another 4K monitor in the Apple Store (http://store.apple.com/us/product/HD971LL/A/sharp-32-pn-k321...), doesn't look like it:

"Note that 4K DisplayPort operation is only compatible with the new Mac Pro (Late 2013). 4K HDMI operation is compatible with MacBook Pro (Late 2013) and the new Mac Pro (Late 2013). HDMI input is not available in the European-market Sharp PN-K321."

This line is brilliant:

"This is a reminder not to let a digital world full of others’ moments deceive you into devaluing your own. Their moments are infinite – yours are finite and precious."

For some time now, I've been spending the majority of my day jumping between Reddit, HN, and YouTube. Any time that I'm not on the computer, from the time I wake up to the time I go to bed (with a few exceptions), I'm listening to podcasts. Basically never idle, and rarely truly living my life - just endlessly consuming information in an attempt to fill the void.

I used to be a builder, living the high described in the post almost every day, but I've lost it somewhere along the way.

Something I hope to change. This post was a big kick in the pants for me.

Very cool. Here's the corresponding GH issue for docker itself to get this sort of functionality: https://github.com/dotcloud/docker/issues/332

People occasionally scoff at "money doesn't buy happiness", but it's an incredibly true statement.

There are homeless people who are objectively happier (and often, healthier) than some of the richest people in the world.

That capsule (http://images.bwbx.io/cms/2013-08-12/0812_Hyperloop_605.jpg) looks like a claustrophobic's nightmare.

Otherwise very, very cool.

I honestly don't see the problem with this. The restriction on servers is clearly not there to prevent you from SSHing to your home computer or to run a Minecraft server for you and your friends.

It's there to prevent abuse of your otherwise unlimited gigabit connection for only $70/month to run a filesharing website on that saturates the connection 24/7/365. If you want to use Google Fiber for business use, pay for their business plan, simple as that.

EDIT: Seems a few people are missing a key detail. When you buy a personal Google Fiber plan, you're not paying for an unmetered 1Gbps upstream/downstream fiber connection. You're paying for an unmetered 1Gbps upstream/downstream connection for personal use. (https://fiber.google.com/legal/terms.html).

There are services that will sell you purely unmetered, unrestricted bandwidth, but it won't be Google Fiber, and it won't be for only $70/month.

This is infuriating, and the worst part is that a clear solution isn't in sight.

Sure, we can fight this in the courts, and a few secret programs might get shut down, but operations will just continue under a different name. We can encrypt our data, move our services and data offshore, but that just paints a big target on our heads - doesn't actually address the fundamental issue. This is supposed to be a democracy, but I don't see any democratic way of addressing this.

What do we do?

Redis is not an ephemeral database when used in Twilio's configuration. When configured with an AOF with fsync set to 'always', Redis will be as durable if not more durable than postgres and the like.

Hmm... can I only stream from Chrome? What about my local movie collection?

I'm someone who used desktop Linux exclusively for 10+ years before switching to a MacBook Air running OS X.

I made the switch because I no longer had the time and interest in maintaining my OS - I wanted it to just work. Much can be said for Linux distros' improvements in hardware support over the years, but it pales in comparison to paying for a superbly built computer (even Torvalds uses an MBA) and never having to think about hardware compatibility or OS breakage again. That's worth the (significant) premium in cost for me, and it is worth it for many others on HN.

(This is only on the desktop side, obviously; I use an Android phone and run Debian/Ubuntu on my servers.)

I was 15 when I stumbled on HN (turning 18 today). Learned about it through YC and its startups (Heroku in particular).

Google "startups" and you tend to end up on a YC page pretty fast, and on HN soon after.

Yes, take a look here: http://deals.t-mobile.com/unlimited-4g-data-no-contract

It's $50 for the first line (unlim text/talk/2G web), then $10/month for 2.5GB 4G, or $20/month for unlimited 4G.

> "Through four years of oversight, the committee has not identified a single case in which a government official engaged in willful effort to circumvent or violate the law."

I'm getting really tired of hearing this defense from U.S. officials. Just because something's legal doesn't mean it's constitutional and/or morally right. I don't think anyone's still arguing the legality of these programs - we're saying that they shouldn't be there because they violate the spirit (and arguably, the letter) of the 4th Amendment.

They were more than likely licensed for it, it's only $24.95/month for business use (http://www.dmx.com/pandora/).
