I used a mix of golang and nodejs. It took a little less than a week to go over the literature and implementation.

Thanks. Once the articles are clustered and sorted, it picks the first news source that reported on the tag (seems fair). The subsequent articles are picked by closeness and similarity.

Bookmarked! Thanks.

Cool. I'll check Asana out.

Nope. I think we are on the same page overall. I just wanted to reassure the new users on this thread that the general practice of submitting a "Show HN" under "Ask HN" is not considered as an exploit. Add to that your point that it should not be abused and I think we have a solid rule of thumb.

Many of us don't have influential networks. We consider HN as the de facto community for hackers and entrepreneurs. Submitting a Show HN is not an exploit. It is a proud move to showcase ones hard work to a fellow audience. I personally think that the community is healthy enough to balance between all types of submissions: articles, Ask HNs and Show HNs in terms of both the people submitting and the people consuming and upvoting. What I agree with you is the need for a separate Shown HN tab similar to Ask HN. There are third party crawlers that do that but we spend all out time here; might as well have the "Show HN" tab here as well.

I submitted my side project last Tuesday @6am and it drowned within 10 min. I found a better exposure when I submitted to ASK HN instead. It would be great if we get the same analysis on the "ask" page. Thanks mayank for sharing your work.

Tx for the hint. The homepage definitely needs some design. As far as the app goes, I purposely want it clutter free so that all the focus is on notes and it's easier to focus on the information in hand (at least as far as I am concerned). What do you think?

I hooked up Ctrl+Shift+M to create new notes.

A good insight on tools and services in the Twitter ecosystem.

I have a long experience in enterprise software and I agree with the premise.

There are two kinds of test units: workflow and functional.

1 - Workflow test units are a waste of time because no single test unit stays valid when there is a change. In other words, whenever we added/removed steps in the workflow, 99% of the time we have to change the test unit to fit that new workflow which breaks the concept of "write once, test all the time" concept. In my experience, having proactive developers who test areas around the workflow that they changed is much faster and reliable.

2 - Functional test units are great. They test one function that needs certain parameters and is expected to spit a certain output i.e function to calculate dollar amounts or do any king of mathematical operations. However, these functions tends to stay unchanged during the lifetime of a project. Therefore, the test units are rarely run.

From my experience workflow changes/bugs represent 80% of the problems we face in enterprise software. Functional changes/bug are rare and can be detected quickly.

This is why I agree with the author premise that unit testing is overhyped.

Very useful info. Thanks for sharing.

It's called "Throwaway Model". It's the second thing you learn about after the "Waterfall Model" in Software Engineering 101

The game looks good though. I'll probably try it out.

I like that quote - Good luck, bad luck, who knows?

node.js is great when building rich client applications. At the end of the day you only need your back-end to grab and serve data as fast as possible and you delegate all the parsing to the browser.

Good effort! It's very nice to see the list on one sheet instead of following links on crunchbase or angellist. What was the methodology for coming up with the overall rank?

IIII ... t's .... something !!! :)

It's all about who you sleep with. Good luck to you and remember that we all share this experience.

Last month I picked NodeJS and build couple of sites with it. This month, I want to pick up something new. I was hesitating between Python and Go. Can you answer couple of questions about Go from someone coming from NodeJS:

1- What is the state of the external Go libraries, especially DB (MySql), caching libraries (memcached), protocol libraries (Oauth). Are they stable 100%

2- How easy is logging and tracing in go?

Thanks.

Great stuff. Thanks!

Great idea!

Great post. Short, straight to point and useful. Thanks for sharing your experience. Do you have any advice on how to get exposure on reddit? In other words do you think your karma helped, did you have friends who helped you promote the post up? Did you do anything specific besides posting the blog post? Thanks.

Sure it's not a biography but the issue is that it will be perceived as such by regular movie goers. That's the power of Hollywood as a propaganda machine. People will be referencing events from the movie as if they were 100% accurate. They will make character judgements; and on the long run those judgements will transcend from the movie to reality.

Irrelevant points. He tries to deflect the issue from Lance and he shouldn't. I don't care if Lance cheated. I don't care if any athlete cheats as long as they get their deserved penalties from their respective sports authorities. The issue here is the hypocrite image that Lance and his PR team drew to the rest of the world. Everyone through of him as superman. He sold his image as a believer and fighter while he was none of that. Again, I don't care about cheaters but I despise hypocrite preachers.

Great tip! Can you explain how you figured out the 200 request/sec limit?

Surprisingly a lot of specific and useful information. Thanks for the share.

Great idea! On the long run, if you keep it as simple as possible and clutter free, you'll have a winner. Good job.

seconded! story of my life

- I think you misspelled the name. Shouldn't it be "World" not "Word" - I like the idea. Good luck.

I like the idea too. I also agree with shail's suggestion but I don't think it should be either/or. Both options should be available. Good luck man.
