You need to add support for custom domains so that I can tell people to visit blah.mydomain.com by setting a CNAME record in DNS.

This is especially important given that your domain name is less than ideal at present for support purposes; I've had enough of reading out hyphenated domains over the phone, and will avoid services that involve doing so.

Looks good though! Do you remember previous visits to the page as well?

To be honest most of project I developed with hexagonal.js have Rails as a backend and it's really powerful with sprockets on board. So give it a try, maybe in toy project.
That's assuming it's a single client on the phone at a single time. Which is wrong. There could be multiple clients on the phone or multiple phone calls with multiple clients.
Why not just a JS API for this? I just cannot see the full application for this app. It is interesting but the work required to get that info by using JS and just plot it is not that high.

I have been a SourceTree customer since before the Atlassian acquisition. I made some feature requests and they were completed quite promptly and with no hassles. Since then I had the good luck to meet some of the Atlassian security team in Sydney, who also put my faith in their suite.

The biggest thing I use SourceTree for over command-line git is cherry-picking bits of different versions of a file to merge. Also, if you have loads of repos it can auto-announce changes on the remotes when you open it, which saves a lot of command line hunting to stay on top of things.

Great tool, good team. Glad you're expanding.

I could but I would still have to send the client to some url to get his browser data so I know what to look up.

If I'm sending a client a url, why not take it 1 step further and eliminate any work on my end by just providing me the correct screenshot and info? Then I can shoot a client an e-mail, ask him to click a link and seconds later I'm looking at what he's looking at with his browser settings without having to do anything.
I can't speak for its author(s) but the point of vimtutor is to help you learn Vim's basics in order to be up and running as quickly as possible. From that point of view, it's quite normal to go without special settings and plugins as that would taint the whole experience and learning. Vimtutor is a standardized tool and it would probably loose a lot if it was different for everybody.

By the way, going config-less for two or three days can be an eye opening adventure if you are too infatuated with your config.

Also, what would be the point of running vimtutor if you already have a ~/.vimrc? You probably already know everything it has to offer.
What would make this really worthwhile, is if along with the browser details you included common/known bugs and quirks for the given browser version.
This sounds like a reactionary move after Europe announced their own. Can't complain though. Great to see they are taking this sort of research seriously. Now if they started funding international anti-asteroid systems, too (like how Russia suggested), that would be great.

That's news to me, I'm seeing exactly the opposite: NoSQL, and especially MongoDB, seems to be the rage in my environment. I'm not as up to date as the average inhabitant of Hacker News, so I guess I'm just out of touch.
The article mentions the email listed in WHOIS gave an error. Isn't there some kind of rule that WHOIS contact information must be accurate? Would it be useful to consider trying to get the domain pulled - that would certainly get the attention, no? And perhaps set a precedent for others keeping the information current, too.

Difficult to make it out in the translation but if they laid off engineers good enough to work on Presto they must not be a technology company any more. They must be transitioning to something else entirely, as your technical team is an asset and browser engine engineering requires some skill so you if you had to downsize you probably wouldn't want to get rid of those guys. Although I guess they can't be cheap. But I figure you could sell that team as a division and instead of paying severance you would be making money. I just don't understand what kind of crazy thinking would go into this. Maybe they just had a bad team that was unhappy?

The problem this doesn't solve is the customer who emails support, includes a screenshot. The screenshot doesn't include the browser frame, but just clearly shows something being rendered incorrectly.

Anyone have other ideas about how to handle the email support when it's like this?

It's been proven time and time again that whenever any censorship blacklist is created, for whatever "good reason", it will end up being abused for purposes that have nothing to do with the original purpose of the list. Although, in this case India actually telegraphed from the beginning that it will be used like this, when they said it will be used against "negative" comments or something like that.

Why can't MVC be compositional? The model of the client can come from the server's view. For example, a server could follow MVC, where the view is responsible for forming the data (such as in JSON or XML). In turn, that could form the model for the client's use of MVC.
What would the benefits of using a virtualized server for a relatively small (in terms of server needs) site like HN be? The way I see it so far, is that virtualization is mostly beneficial for hosting companies that can provide cheaper hosting and have better isolation and easier resource allocation. But I can't think of any big benefits for the site owner, assuming they can afford a dedicated server, and I can see downsides of virtualization, so I am genuinely curious if I miss something.

Misspoke - when I said "develop our own load balancing", I meant "test and pick the best existing load balancing solution, then implement that on our servers". That's as opposed to "use whatever our hosting provider offers".
Tricky one. I don't think there's any way to solve that, other than creating certificates for every CNAME - which is too expensive and complicated for your clients.

I've run into this with Campaign Monitor and they simply don't do SSL for CNAMEs. Since they do everything else perfectly, I'm assuming there's no way to solve this problem.

I used to work 7 days a week. Pretty much every hour was at a computer or laptop. My partner wasn't happy and looking back I wasn't particularly happy either.

To correct that I set specific work hours and chose not to work weekends. Obviously there are exceptions to this. Sometimes work demands working a little longer. Sometimes the world ends on a weekend. This is fine. However these events should be few and far between.

I found though that I still wasn't too happy. I would get anxious and stressed at the weekends. I discovered the reason for this was because I was still checking my email. I would see bug reports or requests and I would anxiously look at the time and realize it was still 32 hours till I started work on Monday.

To fix that I stopped checking emails. If it is truly urgent I will get a phone call. If it is "email urgent" it can almost always wait till Monday.

The result has been a much better work/life balance and I have been happier in general.
Woaah, it's a cool idea, but I wonder how productive one would be in it. Will have to give it a shot later.
We bought one. I have mixed feelings about it. The new Wii U controller and the touch screen feels like more of a novelty than a useful/lasting gameplay dynamic. It kind of feels more distracting than immersive at this point.

Part of the reason for the slow sales may be that there are virtually no games out for it yet. There are several coming out starting in March, so it may be interesting to see what sales numbers are like, then.

Also Nintendo isn't launching with a new Legend of Zelda game to accompany the new console this time. I guess the Gamecube didn't have Windwaker until about a year later, but Ocarina of Time launched with the N64 and Twilight Princess with the Wii. The Zelda franchise alone seems to boost console sales a fair bit (which is pretty telling in its own right).
This is actually pretty exciting. There are a lot of SDKs out there for this cross-over of mobile and web games (Unity3D, Ejecta etc), but none of them have been built with this kind of pipeline in mind and the GC devs are clearly aware of how people are using the existing tools in this space. In-built localisation? Remote debugging? Yes, please! I'm a long-time Unity3D developer and evangelist but this will definitely get some face time from me.

I may be way out of my depth on this, but isn't this project assuming that there is a 'normative' human brain, and that we all have the same neuron structure?

I know we all have the same general brain regions, and in most of us they function approximately the same. But to go down to the neuronal-level will any single brain be able to give a map that would be useful to the population as a whole? Or are they planning on making some type of composite map from multiple sources?
SmartGitHg is free for non-commercial use. I've only used it from Windows, but it supports Linux and Mac as well. I've been enjoying it, but I am by no means an advanced user.

Good point. The very basic idea is that you follow friends + domains, and you can see all of the domains your friends own/have access to.

I'm going to grow the discovery process a bit more next, and add some other features.

I'd like this to eventually become a very fun and developer friendly way of managing domains.

But with some more bells and whistles and a predefined PM workflow.

ThetaBoard is currently free (It's hard to compete with Trello's price!) but I would certainly love to make a living with it. I've just found it very difficult to "market" something that is designed to appeal to such a broad market.

Good luck with the launch.

One can take sides without losing money. In any case, the evidence presented still does not sustain the conclusion. There are also technical mis-statements.
