apeacox··on I would love to know how did they make it (interactive infographic)
build.js:4074

or at least, they've used Adobe Flash CS6 and then exported to JS/sprites/etc in some way. I can't be more specific because I don't use those tools for web development ;)

Looks like they have used Flash (found it in sources) and a bit of JS for age verification and other basic stuff.
apeacox··on Show HN: MapChat – A simple location based chat in 300 lines of code
agree on storage :-) I just meant something to organize/view messages during a session. client side, of course :)

PS: it's so amazing to see all that people around the world at the same time, on a map. sounds like a new world to explore :P

apeacox··on Show HN: MapChat – A simple location based chat in 300 lines of code
very nice idea! :-)

perhaps it needs:

* something to zoom the map (and thus, filtering messages for a given radius) * and/or something to organize messages in a way they don't overlap :P (eg: balloons with a number, when clicked it shows the full list of messages)

apeacox··on The Rails Value Proposition No Longer Adds Up (2014)
from shit, you can grow flowers. from diamonds, not. :-)

if you feel more comfortable with other tools/stacks, then good for you. other people managed to build successfull apps with rails, node and even PHP! you just need to know what you're doing and do it well.

Your comment lacks of arguments and facts, isn't it? :-)

First of all: you can make shitty insecure apps with whatever language/framework/system out there without worrying about development speed. And you can usually avoid this by knowing what you're doing.

Ruby/Rails lets me to build a prototype/MVP in a weekend (while having a lot of fun too). I can fix/iterate or even switch stack later, if needed.

apeacox··on Is Pop Music Getting Less Intelligent?
Nice job! :-) I think that music (melodies, riffs, combination of sounds and notes, etc...) are getting very stupidier. I don't have tools nor skills to test this assumption, just my hears. Try to listen MTV for some month and you'll see that a lot of new songs are very similar to other ones. I mean, too much similar.
apeacox··on Show HN: AtomPair – Pair Programming with Slack and HipChat Integration
Tried yesterday with my colleague. Actually, it only supports one file per session (see TODO in the README), IMHO this limit doesn't make it usable for a real pairing session, especially when you need to work on several files in a project.
apeacox··on Best Linux server backup system?
As far as I remember, you can use file storage and set the size of the file itself as well. so, for example, you might have 4GB file images to burn on dvd. Of course, it really shines with tape backups :-) One nice feature of multi-volume backups in Bacula is the fact that it remembers (through its Catalog) where to find a backup, given the file name and/or a date. So it might ask you: "Insert volume X-Y" to restore the data you need.
apeacox··on Best Linux server backup system?
Back in 2005 I've used Bacula to setup a distributed backup system for a big company. I don't work there since years, but AFAIK it still runs well and manages around ~50 (both servers and desktops running different operating systems).

Yes it's hard to approach (we spent ~2 weeks to learn and test it before deploying in production) but it had the features we needed:

* scheduling

* retention policies (store for 1 year then rotate, multiple tapes, etc...)

* backup on DST tapes

Perhaps, if you just need to backup a single server, Bacula isn't the right solution or, at least, is overkill :-)

SourceForge?! how about hosting a zip on geocities? :-)

Very nice, good job! ;-)
