samrat··on Introducing Syte, An open sourced personal site that has social integrations
Also, middle-clicking a link opens it in the same tab/window. Is that intentional?
samrat··on Ask HN: who started something in 2012 that didn't or won't become profitable?
Made http://omgyoutube.herokuapp.com. Had no intentions of making a profit, though.
samrat··on Flask + Nginx + Gunicorn(on a Vagrant box)
Thanks for the feedback. I use Puppet too, but avoided it in the post to simplify it for the reader. Maybe I'll write a follow-up and include Puppet as well.
samrat··on Flask + Nginx + Gunicorn(on a Vagrant box)
Thanks, I've updated the post.
samrat··on First hundred days of Clojure
What's a good place to start learning Clojure?
samrat··on Ask HN: How can Non-US founders open a bank account in the US?
I was wondering the same thing. What about someone who doesn't want to incorporate a company but just create a bank account for billing? (I'm thinking Stripe).

[edit] I'm an individual web developer and even Paypal doesn't work in my country so it sucks. It'd be great if there were a way around it.

Could someone please explain: How does this compare to Meteor?
samrat··on Google Announces Project Glass
iSpecs? Maybe iShades?
samrat··on Instantly create beautiful GitHub project pages
Are the themes used in the pages open source? They're really awesome designs.
samrat··on 5 + (-sqrt(1-x^2-(y-abs(x))^2))*cos(30*((1-x^2-(y-abs(x))^2)))
Wow. I didn't know Google drew graphs too; does this feature come with an API? That would be cool.
samrat··on Monorail.js - Ultra lightweight MVC Framework for Node.js
Just wanted to ask: is there any kind of micro-frameworks for Node out there? Something comparable to Flask(for Python) or Sinatra(for Ruby)?
samrat··on The Stanford Education Experiment Could Change Higher Learning Forever
For me to get a Statement of Accomplishment, will I have to go along with the course or can I start later and still get it. I'm interested in CS101 but the course is already in its fifth week.
samrat··on The Internet: First Impressions
I've been making changes to the site, so you can now find the article at: http://samrat.github.com/blog/2012/03/the-internet-first-imp...

Sorry for the trouble.

Mine is a Thinkpad too, but I'm pretty sure buying the Edge series was a mistake.
samrat··on Ask HN:Best Development Laptop?
How good is the battery-life?

samrat··on Show HN: My Google-Music-for-books webapp - CodexCloud
Will there be an iOS app?
samrat··on Send Youtube videos to your Dropbox folder
Yes , it's really great
samrat··on Send Youtube videos to your Dropbox folder
Yes, select the "Optimize for iPhone" option
samrat··on Send Youtube videos to your Dropbox folder
That's correct. It doesn't use your connection twice. It just uploads the video to your Dropbox folder after which Dropbox does the syncing.
samrat··on Send Youtube videos to your Dropbox folder
It's the latter. Dropbox doesn't allow transloading files from arbitrary URLs, so it has to travel through my server.
samrat··on Ask HN: Learning Django post-"Learn Python the Hard Way by Zed Shaw"
Go through the Django tutorial which you'll find in the django website, they're really helpful. Then go to showmedo.com's tutorials(they're a bit outdated but I think they really nail the concepts).

If you're not in a hurry though, and are new to web development, I'd really suggest learning Flask. It's a great introduction to web development in Python.

samrat··on Show HN: getdenso.com - Flipboard meets Instapaper for Video
I released something really similar(on a much smaller scale) a few days ago- http://videodropper.ep.io. It sends Youtube vids(just Youtube, for now) to your Dropbox folder.
samrat··on Ask HN: Advertising networks for small web apps?
I am not trying to make this my main stream of income, I just want to monetize it so that it can pay its own bills. What other sources of funding do you recommend?
samrat··on Ask HN: Advertising networks for small web apps?
Does it help me monetize my site? Or is it just link exchange?
samrat··on Show HN: Videodropper, Send Youtube videos instantly to your Dropbox folder
Sorry. But should work fine now.
samrat··on Show HN: Videodropper, Send Youtube videos instantly to your Dropbox folder
Fixed. It should work now.
samrat··on Show HN: Videodropper, Send Youtube videos instantly to your Dropbox folder
I'm curious why you got that error. Could you please try again and see if you get the same error again? I'm trying to find out what went wrong.

And when will it be open for those under eighteen years of age?
