Kindle 2 or DX ?

Any idea how are the PDFs on Kindle 2 ?

Did they forget a staging link ? http://img.skitch.com/20091105-bk6g841s7gwags3y84ksf9gtgi.pn...

Unfortunately RabbitMQ currently doesn't support message priority (which is in the AMQP spec).

Use Instapaper, it's online and it has a bookmarklet and an iPhone app: http://www.instapaper.com/

They said they are working on a queuing system for offline processing that uses HTTP POST for doing the actual work. See the session at Google I/O: http://code.google.com/events/io/sessions/OfflineProcessingA...

Those are upgrade prices from Leopard.

Another +1 for SizeUp, since I bought a display for my MacBook I love it. I also like if for "name your price".

IIRC you login with OpenID then it will ask you to merge your existing account.

They already have an iPhone Application: http://www.nytimes.com/services/mobile/iphone.html

I thought you could use a single process with multiple threads to run on multiple processors.

Nginx and Passenger (for running Ruby apps)

I was referring to the fact that they use it at Google as a Git server, not the speed of Java.

LE: I am a Ruby developer and know what "fast enough" is. Also I know that Java/JVM is quite fast, JRuby is sometimes faster than Ruby 1.9.

The most surprising part for me was: "But, JGit performs reasonably well; well enough that we use internally at Google as a git server."

I use Blueprint because it's easy and simple.

http://heroku.com isn't that expensive and it's easy to scale as needed.

I know about disabling it, but I would like to still be enabled when I'm not in privacy mode.

I have complete confidence in your privacy, that is why I said I will opt-in if you would like to gather data to improve your product.

Sorry for hijacking this thread, but does Webmynd ignore history in Privacy Mode ?

Even though I'm a Safari user, Webmynd is a pretty good reason to get back to Fx. My sources (in order) are: Wikipedia, Delicious, Twitter, HNews, Reddit.

I would like to have GitHub as a source (even though it might only be interesting to developers). Also you could make an anonymous data collection for statistics, I would happily opt-in.

They have released a library (can be used by premium users): http://www.spotify.com/blog/archives/2009/04/07/spotify-open...

I got started with Chef today and it's great. It's organized into recipes, and you can share cookbooks (see the official one, it has plenty of recipes for common things). I also like using erb templates for config files.

Compared to the cost of building and maintaining your own system I think it is cheaper. Add the cost of servers, colocation, bandwidth, people.

Also, on S3 you pay exactly for what you use, if you use your own server you are paying for them up front. Another bonus is the using their CDN if you have frequently downloaded files.

Check this comment by Don MacAskill, CEO of SmugMug which stores a huge amount of data on S3: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=422574. Check his blog too: http://blogs.smugmug.com/don/tag/s3.

Using Amazon S3 you have the advantage of using a tested and scalable system, easy to implement and use and it's not expensive.

They started using OAuth in private beta so you do not need to share your password and you can revoke access to any application.

Instead of using normal hashing you can use consistent hashing so you don't need to move that many users. Here's a post explaining it: http://www.spiteful.com/2008/03/17/programmers-toolbox-part-...

As far as I know news.yc source code is at http://arclanguage.org/install.

Reddit is open source (http://www.reddit.com/code/) but it is under Common Public Attribution License (you need Reddit logo).

DHH on twitter: "We haven't stored CC numbers on our own for quite some time. We're using Braintree Payment Solutions these days." http://twitter.com/d2h/status/1184653105

There's also a work in progress on the new wiki: http://newwiki.rubyonrails.org/

GoDaddy is pretty cheap and I don't see why you shouldn't use them.

I agree, you can use OpenID, it's a lot faster to register.

"You can actually rewrite history with this command".

Seriously now, I am using "git pull --rebase" when there are only a few commits that were pushed while I was working. It keeps a linear commit thread and no merges.

Congrats! OT: According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilo- it's "k".
