Recently I've been thinking about writing a service which simply has an email address you forward an email to and it makes it publicly available via a URL - useful for things like open letters etc. I'm not sure if this is the same thing, or whether I should just go ahead and make it..

Send your CV, a short covering letter and links to any of your favourite projects to jobs@onespacemedia.com.

There's actually a super simple solution for your concerns - don't choose the "in-home delivery" option.

Yes, pg_tune

Isn't it something to do with hurricanes? They happen so often that it's cheaper to just build houses from wood and rebuild them when they get destroyed.

> did the QA engineer test setting a password and a password hint?, easily forgettable on a tight deadline

Or they used 'asd' as both the password and the password hint and therefore it looked ok.

How does this compare to something like Scrutiny, which seems to do a similar thing?

Or search for any of the non-alphanumeric characters found within every project.

If you're using Chrome, you can also go to cache://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-262.htm (replacing https:// with cache://)

Unfortunately not. I spent many years on Proboards / VBulletin and their ilk, I don't feel like any of them really nailed it.

Oh no, we tried switching over to it for a test project and it was basically a disaster. Something as simple as running Python tests and node tests on the same instance just didn't seem to be possible. We _really_ don't want to have to maintain our own Docker images. Their support forums are running Discourse too, so it's basically impossible to find anything you're looking for.

Why would you not use the auto renew system?

Keep your friends close, and your competitors hosted

> It's a shame SpaceX never/rarely releases any of the onboard footage from the droneship

That's not true, usually a day or two after the landing Elon or SpaceX post the footage to Instagram and then later to YouTube.

I wish the team permissions system was better. I'd love to be able to give developers write access to the code, but issue writers only access to the issues system.

You took a command from a comment which said they use it to "bring their system to its knees", ran it, and then complained?

> (heck, I'm sure that's actually being done right now in some cases)

It absolutely is, and has been for quite some time. https://www.theguardian.com/media/2016/oct/18/press-associat...

SourceTree is much better in this regard.

Doesn't work very well if you're on a Google site: http://i.imgur.com/1JMASfH.png

My house isn't even on there. :(

No problem!

Very interesting, thank you for sharing your knowledge!

May I ask what it was?

> (turns out most countries don't pump hot water around their houses!)

At the risk of sounding ignorant, what's the alternative that other countries use? Simply electricity?

Not sure if it was the "Beautifull", but it doesn't need two 'L's

To be fair I do have ads as well, but it's just Adsense so there shouldn't be any of the bad stuff. Removing them comes with the Patreon membership too.

(Also, thanks!)

Reddit and Twitter were big things for me, I announced the initial release on the Rocket League subreddit[1] and then announced updates whenever they were released[2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. I automated daily posts to reddit and Twitter[9] for the "match of the day" (calculated based on a variety of factors). I engaged heavily in the community on Twitter, other fan sites and got my name out there. I gave away the extra (paid-for) features to the top teams to get them using it. I added support for features which users asked for.

One of the biggest sources of traffic for me now are the Rocket League analysis / training subreddits[10]. It's become _the_ location to upload your replays if you want to share them with other people. Making it easy to share (no account required) was a big part of this.

Sure, so I've been a full stack developer for 11 years. Started in PHP, now working in Python (using Django). I've been the lead developer (now technical director) at a top 4 digital agency in the UK, so I've got a lot of industry experience.

The MVP was built in 2-3 days, I think I started it Friday night and launched Sunday morning, the initial version didn't do a lot, but it was good enough to get it live. From there I then worked on it most weekends for a period of perhaps 4-5 months? Since September-ish, it's been pretty self sufficient. I update it every now and again when new updates are released to the game or the parser (which is now written by someone else), and I sometimes work on new features, but for the most part it's in a good spot and I'm happy with it. It's on Github[1] so you can get an idea of the effort put into it (the version which is live isn't the same as the public Github repo, I have a few private repos on Github due to some NDAs, hopefully I'll be able to publish the latest code soon).

I built Rocket League Replays[1], a website which analyses the replay files generated from matches played in Rocket League. I took my inspiration from GGTracker[2] which is essentially the same thing, but for StarCraft 2. I was looking through the replay files and noticed that there was some human readable content in them, so I wrote a parser[3] and built the site around it. Eventually I started a Patreon which allowed users to support the site in return for more advanced analysis. I get around $200/mo from that which covers the server costs etc, so I'm more than happy with that.

Have you considered simplifying your pricing structure? ;)
