andrewryno··on Japan Has Millions of Empty Houses. Want to Buy One for $25,000?
Also:

> Mr. Thursfield has done much of the renovation work himself, including woodworking.

andrewryno··on Show HN: I made a local development, debugging and hotreload tool for AWS Lambda
LocalStack is open source: https://github.com/localstack/localstack

Looks like they're starting a Pro version that requires signup/payment.

andrewryno··on Composer – Disable GC when computing deps and refs
You shouldn't be running composer update on your deployment, just composer install which doesn't take as much memory since it doesn't have to resolve dependencies.
andrewryno··on Welcome, cryptanalyst
The footer has links to Google. Unless Google is now doing movie marketing.

This is also part of another game that was submitted a couple weeks ago which was a recruiting game for GOogle.

andrewryno··on Autoscaling, Welcome to Google Compute Engine
It's like AWS EC2 Auto Scaling. GCP also has Load Balancing which complements the autoscaling feature, which is like AWS ELB.
andrewryno··on Microsoft on GitHub
You may need to tell your browser to load scripts over HTTP.
andrewryno··on Reqr.es
Yeah I would honestly prefer Apiary since it's more flexible.
andrewryno··on Reqr.es
It would be great for learning client-side development using React, AngularJS, etc. without having to use an existing API or building one yourself.
andrewryno··on Reqr.es
You can't. Looks like the response is hard-coded.

Would be nice to be able to customize keys, choose a format for a list of a resource, etc. so that if you use this in development you don't need to make changes for your "real" API if you have different standards.

andrewryno··on Show HN: InvoiceAtOnce – Easy Invoice Creation
PhantomJS can generate PDFs. It's pretty easy to use. http://phantomjs.org/
andrewryno··on WordPress on Heroku
It's installed through Composer. In composer.json it sets up a custom repository to download the latest version of WordPress, and then uses the "extra" section to install it to a custom directory (in this case the public directory).
andrewryno··on A Conference Stole My Identity
Right, but you can't use their logo, you need to specify it's a parody, etc. See: https://support.twitter.com/articles/106373-parody-commentar...
andrewryno··on Link: A fast and simple PHP Router
Yeah I don't understand the use of statics here. I'm going to guess it's just so they can use the "nicer" syntax without having to instantiate a new object, which would honestly make more sense to me. That way you can inject a Link instance into your controller/views and just call `$link->route('namedRoute')`.
andrewryno··on Exec($_GET
A great example is: https://github.com/andresriancho/w3af-moth

He deliberately wrote vulnerable code to test his auditing script. There are more repos like this.

andrewryno··on Mozilla CTO: Andreas Gal
The link to Shumway is broken, FYI.
andrewryno··on Ask HN: Idea Sunday
You have to mail it in, but http://modnotebooks.com/ will scan your notebook and digitize the contents for you.
andrewryno··on Today is World Backup Day – a friendly reminder to backup and check restores
At least some large cloud storage providers offer it. For example, AWS has Import/Export[0] and Google has Offline Disk Import for Google Cloud Storage[1].

[0] http://aws.amazon.com/importexport/

andrewryno··on Genetic Algorithms in Multivariate Email Optimization
You can calculate the minimum sample size needed to come up with that threshold rather easily. See: http://vuurr.com/split-testing-determine-sample-size/
andrewryno··on Denial of Service Attacks
One other problem is that if you're using a tool like Capistrano to deploy, you usually set your remote repo to Github. When Github goes down, you can't deploy until it comes back up or you set up your own remote server.
andrewryno··on Sublime Text 2 plugin to show git commit history for selected line(s) of code
I've tried the last two major versions of PHPStorm and I just can't use it. On my Air with 4GB of RAM it struggles to even open a file. It's slow, sometimes unresponsive, and uses so much memory so my VM can't run on the same machine. If there was a 'Lite' version, I'd love to try it out. But the defacto PHP IDE can not run on my machine, which is why I stick with ST and plugins.
andrewryno··on Google Analytics for GitHub
GitHub just announced built in analytics today: https://github.com/blog/1672-introducing-github-traffic-anal...
andrewryno··on Graph.tk
If you change the x-axis to be roughly the same range as on graph.tk, it turns out like this:

andrewryno··on Develop Wordpress plugins, themes with Docker
I also highly recommend using https://github.com/10up/varying-vagrant-vagrants since they bundle a few different versions of WordPress. It's mostly used for development of WordPress core but it's also great for theme and plugin development.
andrewryno··on Uber and Cheezburger will deliver you 15 minutes of kitten playtime for $20
We just had the kittens at our office (they just left). They have 3 cars doing it, and we were only the second company to get that car.

One of them really liked me (Artemis). :)

andrewryno··on Coworking Spaces
Gangplank is great. I worked there for a few years up until 6 months ago when I moved to SF. I also know many people involved in Co+Hoots, and it's also a great space.
andrewryno··on Ggplot2 for python
Ah I think the reason why I didn't think I needed BLAS/LAPACK is because I install R on the server first which installs those as shared libraries.
andrewryno··on Ggplot2 for python
I think all you need is build-essentials and python-dev.
andrewryno··on Google Shopping Express now available to all SF and Peninsula Shoppers
Nope. I've only seen one driver ever since I've been using it.
andrewryno··on Linux Easter Eggs
I'm gonna add it to our chef builds, especially since you always misspell things. :P
andrewryno··on DDoS Attack on DigitalOcean.com
I don't believe it's YouTube that he's complaining but rather the retargeting campaign by DigitalOcean themselves. I've had a few companies that retarget me on YouTube relentlessly. Ads themselves don't bother me, but seeing the same one dozens of times a day gets irritating.
