I also agree. There is too much white color, the readability is not very good. I was exited about it as i already mentionned here that there is room for improvment of HN.

i'll uninstall it now. looking forward to try a corrected version.

Thanks for the answers. I know, a lot of questions: this is because we are architecturing our plateform and having a detailled help from a successful website is very helpfull.

Looking forward to see the next article.

Email is not unproductive. Just need to have a discipli e here. I can't aford shuting down the mail client from my laptop. I often need to respond to clients all day long. As i've been so responsive to clients all those year (i usualy respond quickly to my clients emquiriea) that's mean now if i dont respond to an email for say 4 hours....

I know how it feel. We all at some point loose control while browsing. It often start with a good intention: "let't have a quick look at the HN homepage" and several hours later you're still here reading news, success story. This is even more frustracting at the end of the day as you lookback and notice nothing in your priority have move in the rigth direction. I'm now more productive since i'm applying the GTD method it help me keeps control. I suggest you to read "making it all work".

Checked everywhere on the website and no TOS anywhere, the only mention regarding Intelectual property is:

"2009 © All right reserved" ;-)

Anyway, i'll consult a lawyer and pay 200$ maybe before launching any ad campaign.

You've been all so helpfull.

Thanks.

They don't have any TOS on their website.

Thanks for the link.

Hey, how much does it cost thougth? 200$ 300$

Thougth the same here. It would be wonderful to use such speed once before i die.

Something good to know about usecases where node.js is not a good fit:

  The truth is that while we are starting to see good frameworks for node.js, there is nothing as powerful as Rails, CakePHP or Django on the scene yet. If most of your app is simply rendering HTML based on some database, using node.js will not provide many tangible business benefits yet.

This is actualy what i want to know. i'm asking it here because i've done some search localy and the legislation don't tell anything about this.

I'll go to an athorney maybe but i would like to have some rough ideas on how it work elsewhere before.

I've tried to sell them the app before actually starting to build it without success. I've tried to sell it for month now, but as it is a HUGE company with only old school and out dated tech... i haven't got much luck.

The reason why i'm asking for it legality is because i'm planning to launch a marketing campaign to attract more users (actually have 2769k on iPhone/Android without any marketing): i'm trying to provoke them with the campaign to make them buy the app and rebrand it.

Thanks for the feedback.

Why are you using so much data stores? is it due to some legacy? I understand why you need MySQL (because some key algorithms are based on jointures), but why have at the same time Redis and Casandra? you also mention that you'll maybe replace MySQL by HBase? why? You also mention that the MapReduce jobs inputs are some flat logs (i suppose that those logs are stored in HDBS) so are you using any API to write in HDBS from RabbitMQ?

Read this again and i find it great. so helpful for a young start-up to choose from the start the rigth tool and architechture.

Thanks again.

A totaly agree, people don't usualy share much stufs on facebook? Have you seens around a link to a Hadoop tutorial in your news feed yet?

Nice idea. Good luck. Added the documentation of Place to my bookmarks, will review this this week-end.

Is it possible to just retrieve the POI you add using the API? Is it possible to restrict access to your own POI?

Great one. Subscribed to your blog, there is alot of useful articles to read there.

Thanks for the great slideshow. I've found another slideshow that is realy great: "The Secrets of Building Realtime Big Data Systems"

Thanks, i missed that one.

I think the announcement of that big money wasn't a good idea because it putted too much focus on a product "not so good yet". I think they could have waited before announcing this.

In order to succeed, such soo revolutionary app need to live undercover for a while and find the "right product" first.

Now no one can tell if it will fail now or not, but the first impression so far from the tech people seems to be not good.

The warning of "don't use it alone" is worthless. The UI is such a mess still now i can't understand how it work.

Not if you add some banner at the top.

Good job. I was thinking this money about something that migth interest you. Here is the short story: Sometime at HN it is penible to read all those hundred comments. There are few possible improvments: - collapsible threads

How about a chrome plugin that allow one to add css to any website? I know it look like a hackers only tool but how freakibg cool this could be.

What you mean by infected? The enterprise has never been so awesome as it is now with j2ee6.

How can you be sure of that? Each language has found it core market: C++ is the leading language in the game industry. C is used for embed software Java is the everyone's language and with it awesome j2ee stack is becoming the de facto language for programming entreprise application.

And the list goes ...

So as one said, hating a language is imature. You don't like it, don't use it.

This is a too subjective question. I thought quora was about fact, building a database of knowledge whre each answer is as clear and complete as possible? Hate is about passion, not aboug fact. But to answer the question, i don't hate any programming language: i know a lot of them and depending of the needs i choose the one that fit the most.

I agree with you. Those comments thread should be collapsible. And we need a way to see only new comments.

This is a wrong generalization. I'd never used all those filter in photoshop yet, but what i really like with PS is tye fact that when i need it, i don't need to go find another tool (buy it). PS is a one stop shop for anything you need go process an image. One should know his target, ps do not target the lambda photo hobiste, which make the article comparision pointless. However the premise is true and i could say as an entrepreneur "don't build something your users don't need"

Facebook already do more than photo sharing. I don't personaly like using facebook, but at least with facebook i don't share my personal life with everyone. What's more personal than your pics? your face?

I did the same, need to dig into my back up hard drive to find it. Maybe i'm going to expose a REST api for generating sudokus. Do you think this might be interesting?

"Did you know that in order to generate a sudoku you need first to solve it?"
