Thanks so much for sharing this. I've been waiting a while to see something complete written in Angular 2.0 to see what it looks like.

Really enjoyed looking through the source on this.

I like your pricing model much more--I don't like how Cloudinary charges me for storage, because I don't want them to store the images, just transform them.

What I would need to move over to yours are the following features: * Reorienting the picture based on exif data * Picture gravity via face detection * Way to ensure no one else maliciously uses my account (e.g., domain whitelisting/CORS, only pulling from my S3 bucket, something like that) * Renaming the output file image on the fly

Obviously, I'm only one customer, so don't do anything based on just me! But if it's at all helpful, these are one potential user's needs :)

Do you have a utility that lets me port over my named transformations from Cloudinary? Also, is there any way to pull images directly from an S3 bucket rather than from my Heroku instance?

Not at all. You can be born into poverty, or live in a place that is destitute of resources, so your ability to make good economic choices is severely limited. Especially of those born into poverty, whether in a rich country or poor, it's not like you're choosing where to be born.

This totally went over my head and I am so glad you pointed it out. I now want to use it just because of that

I had an Urgent-level issue just two days ago (1-hr SLA), also with business-level support through AWS Activate, and it took them THREE hours to get back to me, with me simultaneously waiting on one chat and two phone lines to try to get in contact with anyone I could,

Finally, chat came through--but only after a wait far longer than what their SLA guarantees.

Point being that support probably isn't going to get you much either, especially given that they aren't holding to the 1hr SLA.

It's definitely not a scam or ripoff, they cost nothing and I use them frequently. I have never actually purchased anything through them, so I don't think they charge a commission, though I can't be sure--as I understand it, they just make money by having you use your Visa card for the purchase. In this article[1] they tried to take it to an extreme, but frankly most of those tasks would be better for Fancy Hands.

Since I also have Fancy Hands and FH is better quality, I use Visa for tasks that are low priority, or I can afford to have redone a couple of times, or are very simple. Good examples of these include: not immediate restaurant reservations, basic research of all kind (anything from 'find me a place in NYC that sells Petrus Aged Pale Ale in bulk' to 'get me a list of all the language classes that NYU has for non-students with dates, times, location, and price' to 'how do I mail a letter to Spain'). Mostly generic things. Fancy Hands is what I use for specific, personal, or high-touch items--"Cancel my AT&T account," "Get PayPal on the phone again and again until they fix my account," "Please call this number in the UK during their morning and get this information so I don't have to stay up late," etc.

If you're at all interested in opening a kick starter for such a templating library for Django, I'd back it. I have attribute creep all the time and actually generally prefer raw SQL with the exception of its verbosity. The problem is, migrations are awful and SQL injection mistakes easy to come by. Would be great to have the best of both worlds in a SQL templating engine + sort-of ORM wrapper that auto-generates via SQL inspection

Our early-stage startup aims to change the way students make money and get work during school. Two years ago, we created a prototype as a side project for fun (no marketing or maintenance), and since then, we’ve have had clients from Fortune 500s to well-known startups sign up for and use our service. However, we’ve decided to quit our cushy jobs at Google + McKinsey, and instead focus on growing this to be bigger and better than ever before… and we need your help. Our new website (with a much larger mission than before) is launching to the public in 1-2 weeks, so we need someone who can join our team as soon as possible (ideally in the next 1-2 months) to help build out cool new features for our quickly growing userbase.

We’re looking for a front-end developer to be the final founding member of our team. You should be experienced with or excited to learn AngularJS. You’ll work closely with our CTO, and we even hope that you can eventually take over the title and managing the entire engineering team as we continue to hire. You’d start by working with the CTO on growing the site, then quickly moving on to your favorite of the other exciting projects we have planned, involving cutting-edge web design, machine learning, natural language processing, and more. The back-end of the site is built in Django with Python, and knowledge of it is not required, though familiarity with Django or Rails could be helpful.

The New York-based team of four includes co-founders from McKinsey and Google, as well as the best salespeople and marketers in the business. We’re really fun, and incredibly diverse. Our interests range from traveling and cooking to hacking to beer-brewing.

We look forward to hearing from you, so please reach out if you’re interested in learning more!

The Must-Haves: * Degree in CS or equivalent experience (we’re happy to take a look at your code!) * Front-end web development experience, including mobile-friendly pages * Experience with Javascript and CSS3 * Experience with or an appetite to become the expert in AngularJS * A love of college

The Nice-To-Haves: * Being in New York * Knowledge of Python * Familiarity with an MVC framework like Django or Rails

The two key differences for me:

(1) FancyHands, having been around a lot longer, has far better execution and delivery. Email, phone, an app, recording through the app--many ways to give a task assignment. I usually don't want to text them, I forward them emails to take action upon or simply leave a voice message.

(2) Jarvis is unlimited tasks. THAT is a big one for me. If there ever were a service that were at or somewhat approaching FancyHands quality with unlimited tasks, I'd be on it in a heartbeat. For the time being, I've been using Visa Signature Concierge for tasks that don't require a FancyHands level of attention paid to them, since they are unlimited and free if you have a Visa Signature card.

You also may be giving too much credit to Hamas and Islamic Jihad's ability to aim rockets at the intended targets. Plenty of the time they hit the middle of nowhere, or they've actually even hit Palestinian-dominated areas (Hebron and Bethlehem) [1][2]

In many situations, it makes far more sense to save the Iron Dome counter-missles.

Honestly, this was a great reply until that last sentence. I recommend you remove it.

Hacker School is not a random website where you throw up code to have random strangers look at it. It is a three-month-long "writer's retreat for programmers," where you are sitting and working with other developers every single day, just like in a workplace, except that you're working on what you like and won't be fired.

Code reviews are in person and could easily become unprofessional or attacking--but they don't because there are very strong social rules about how to conduct them effectively and with improvement in mind rather than criticism.

I respect the point about thoughtfulness vs personal experience, but you should at least make the effort to look up what Hacker School is before making comments about it.

The issue isn't leaving, but abdicating your responsibilities. This is clearly what you care about as well, when you say "I can't ditch them." While there certainly would be something to be said for the "meaning" of what you'd pitched if you leave, the key here is making sure that the actions you take do not negatively influence everyone else there and the people you brought into this venture.

I think the question to be asking is "What steps can I take to transition my responsibilities to other people without negatively affecting the company and my colleagues?" If you can find an answer to that question--hiring someone who you groom to replace you, making the business more institutionalized and self-sustaining so that you don't need 14-hour days, etc.--you'll be closer to getting there.

It's pretty incredible how many people I see who start their own companies hoping for freedom, and find the opposite. Responsibility often means less freedom, and having clients and employees beholden to you means more responsibility. In some ways, being employed can mean being more free. There was a great article on HN recently pointing out that the true level of freedom for entrepreneurs is likely to be found not at founding your own company, but specifically at founding your own moderately successful company--once great success comes, you have much more responsibility.

This kind of clickbait that contains absolute falsehoods in the title really frustrates me. Not everyone is going to read the article, or read to the end even if they click it, and people are going to come away with a misrepresentation of the facts.

Have to put out a shameless plug here for Hacker School. I looked forward to code reviews there because I learned so much from them. This is to the point that it actually surprised me reading your comment about how code reviews have been unpleasant for you. Would be great if more workplaces could adopt that kind of mindset and set of values as well.

In short, code reviews don't have to be bad, from personal experience.

When I came across this I genuinely thought it was referring to Facebook's Hip Hop Virtual Machine--not music at all.

Congrats, guys. I think this is definitely a step in the right direction.

Also great to see this hit HN front page.

Hey guys, I like your landing page a lot--what framework did you use for it? It looks like you used something out-of-the-box, not necessarily from scratch.

Is it possible there's any difference in productivity in open-office environments between introverts and extroverts? I've always wondered that.

Please do. I'd be very interested to read it. I've always been interested in doing a physical-product type company, but I don't want to take outside investment, and it would be excellent to hear a successful bootstrapping story.

MBA != stupid and greedy

That is exactly my plan as well. Glad there's finally a book out there on Flask.

Without having seen it yet, one thing I'd love to see is "Flask for recovering Djangonauts" or something similar, in addition to how to use Flask at scale. Basically, best practices, advice, and some good libraries for someone who doesn't want ALL the batteries included in their framework, but also would prefer some more reliability than randomly slapping some libraries together and hoping for the best. The intimidation of not having true official integration for a lot of Flask plug-ins is what has kept me from doing anything at scale with Flask so far, recognizing that this is not necessarily a valid concern.

I would argue that percentage of population that uses one versus the other is not the best metric here to determine worldwide use, but rather geographic dispersion or likelihood of use in a random international communication. The parent comments were discussing the appropriateness of the comma/period as decimal on HN, as a forum of generally international interest. As such, sheer percentage of users is not as relevant as the accepted usage in an international or intercultural context. We end up being in agreement over the outcome, but disagree on the standard for measurement.

Example of why percentage population doesn't work: 14% of the world speaks Chinese natively by one estimate, the most of any language. [1] Does that mean that Chinese punctuation or syntactic standards are more likely to be used worldwide?

Whoops sorry, looks like we replied at the same time...great minds think alike?

Actually, it's split pretty evenly. See this map.[1]

The main difference is that the English-speaking world mainly uses the comma, and HN is generally an English-language board.

Are all of the features of RubyMine included in IntelliJ IDEA? I've never really been fully clear on that, and I love PyCharm--but given that I use Python, Javascript, Ruby, etc., I'd rather just get the one product than need PyCharm and WebStorm AND RubyMine.

It already was paid software! (Even if you didn't actually pay for it)
