togasystems··on Outpost.Travel - An Aggregator for Rides, Lodging and Guides
Might run into some trouble with the name. There is an travel magazine already called Outpost: http://www.outpostmagazine.com/
togasystems··on HootSuite Raises $165M Series B
Obviously you are wrong. With 237 of the Fortune 500 companies using it, it must not be that terribly useless.

Disclosure: I am an engineer with HootSuite

togasystems··on Releases – a workflow for shipping software to end users
Excited for this! No more view raw and save.
togasystems··on PHP 5.5 released and other things PHP related
We just implemented an internal composer repository for sharing code between our different services. I am surprised composer isn't more popular. I have been developing for a long time and have only recently heard of it.
togasystems··on Understanding the most beautiful equation in Mathematics
I have this tattooed on my leg :) http://imgur.com/LcIlm5L
togasystems··on How $96,000 can buy you a top 10 ranking in the U.S. app store
I participated in Free App of the Day promotion about 4 years ago. For the week that it was featured, we experienced about 360% growth and made it to the top ten in our category. Free App of the Day took a percentage of our profits afterwards for a few weeks riding the long tail. In the end, it was win win for both of us.
togasystems··on Star Trek, tech companies, and the death of futurism in cinema
Can anyone suggest a good, current futurist author?
togasystems··on Show HN: Felt – Personal, handwritten cards mailed from your iPad
Does it work internationally?
togasystems··on Abba - JavaScript a/b testing
I wonder if segment.io will be able to interface with this?
togasystems··on Automatic: Your Smart Driving Assistant
Is there a reason for not selling in Canada?
togasystems··on Ask HN: Webdevs, designers: what devtools should we (Mozilla) build in Firefox?
I second this. I had to create an extension recently and found the entire process a nightmare. Having to use the Venkman debug tool was a large turn off.
togasystems··on The Story of Bageshwori, Watsi's First Patient
I just donated and was quite impressed with the process. It was painless, no sign up, just direct to Pay Pal. Good job.
togasystems··on Ask HN: If you had 5 years of uninterrupted time, what would you build and why?
A badass robot.
togasystems··on 1-man startups
I really like this idea. I was just wondering to myself, how one can teach themselves entrepreneurship much in the way people learn how to code. Using method at AngelList, you can quickly iterate, get feedback quickly and probably the best lesson of them all, Fail. Founding a startup in its present form involves putting all of your eggs into one basket and failing can have a large consequence. Practice makes perfect.
togasystems··on Civilized Discourse Construction Kit
A one click button to export from phpBB and vBulletin would be amazing.
togasystems··on Why We Still Believe in Working Remotely
Does anyone have experience with remote sales teams? Do they work?
togasystems··on The Way Server-Side Analytics Should Be
What server side trackers do you suggest?
togasystems··on My Top Sublime Text 2 Plugins
I just started using CTags for php development. It allows you to move to class and function declarations. Great for large projects and unknown code.

togasystems··on Introducing Graph Search
I used MIT WAMI

togasystems··on Introducing Graph Search
I might... It would need a big clean, but what personal project doesn't?
togasystems··on Introducing Graph Search
Crazy.. I developed a Facebook Graph search about a year ago using FQL queries. It works very similarly to how Facebook implemented their Graph Search. I even put a voice recognizer on top of it. Glad to know that my crazy ideas aren't so crazy after all :)

togasystems··on The Future of Analytics.js
Statsd support would be awesome
togasystems··on Blue-collar knowledge workers will save the economy
I have a friend who is a ticketed carpenter. He found the construction industry boring, corrupt and decided to change careers into computers. My first training session went well, but there was only so much I could teach him in the time alotted.

We both came to the realization that he needed formal edication for both learning the concepts and gaining credibility. He just finished his first semester and is loving it!

Instead of being the teacher, point your friends to people that are trained to educate. If the person is serious about changing their life, school is the first place they should go.

togasystems··on Pycoder's Weekly Issue #43
I second this. Every week I look forward to Friday's release... Great job guys!

Can someone explain the difference between command-p and command-t?
togasystems··on NBC calls it for Barack Obama
Good job America

togasystems··on Use Hulu, Netflix, Pandora and Rdio from any country
I just downloaded the proxy configuration file - http://mediahint.com/default.pac

It seems to be running through us.mediahint.com

togasystems··on Use Hulu, Netflix, Pandora and Rdio from any country
I wonder how long this will last before the proxy is banned?
togasystems··on REST framework 2 released: Simple, beautiful, browsable Web APIs for Django
How easy would it be to hook this up to some sort of authentication scheme such as OAuth?
togasystems··on Square Arrives in Canada
Anybody notice that www.square.ca has been hijacked? I have it redirecting to a page with an iframe from areasnap.com . I have tested this on two different networks near Vancouver.
