Perhaps. I think the "prevent people from sharing until they know what they are sharing" is the most important part to me. Had a fun time hacking on it today though. Just a little Friday joke.

yeah, instant articles / amp kind of kill that -- also, native browser share buttons -- but a man can dream!!

podcast stats, amirite?! I don't trust feedburner, libsyn, or blubrry -- but i've been _thinking_ about using keen.io redirects in my rss & itunes feeds so i can collect ip/agent info and analyze that.

i distribute my podcast (well, it's a video show, but still podcasty) via YouTube in part because I can actually get view/retention/source/subcriber stats + use links/annotations + I can also feed it into itunes. I even made a little jekyll repo that helps you make landing page & video/audio feeds: https://github.com/nealrs/Jekyll-YouTube-Show

Nah, I think it's pretty broadly applicable. I see bad applications from mid career folks and I see bad job descriptions written by internal recruiters & managers.

Those answers may come from students, but I think they represent an attitude at large.

headline had me thinking -- Waterworld?

we found, designed a plan to, and (nearly) recovered an entire nuclear submarine from the ocean floor -in secret- using a giant grappling hook in under than 8 years and for $3.8 billion ($800 million in '74) dollars.

but we can't design a marginally improved fighter jet for less than a trillion or under 20 years?

thanks! any suggestions / ideas for improvement?

Devpost Teams - http://devpost.com/teams

We're trying to give developers a better look at dev teams & answer their most common questions about dev process, benefits, who else works there, what it's great, etc -- before they apply.

FYI, if you're interested in USING Weather Company data & building apps with Bluemix, Devpost just launched a new online hackathon all about that (and Spark!) with $30K in prizes.

You know what _really_ sucks about this? They're closing off the API & got rid of their evangelists.

Thanks Brett,

Branding -- and rebranding -- are big tasks at any company. I hope founders keep that in mind when dropping vowels out of words.

ultimate hackathon demo tool!

OP here. Some of the tools are related to clients / hackathon sponsors - but most aren't. And s3 is an excellent tool for static site hosting. You can add cloudfront in a snap, it's stupid cheap, and you can deploy from the command line ( https://github.com/laurilehmijoki/s3_website is awesome for this.)

Also, I've actually used _all_ of these tools before, both for personal & hackathon projects. I know they work.

Neat -- but you still need to have an existing domain + ssh access to that domain right?

just, awesome.

my intro cs class @ cmu was in java back in 2001 -- but now they teach python (major win imo)

OP here. IMO, I think the reason Venmo trumps is because it's P2P payments rather than for retail / enterprise. Most of the hacks using Venmo are about tipping your friends or discouraging bad behavior, etc.

Plus, Braintree / Venmo are frequent sponsors.

Thanks Keith, our org dashboards are going to even more with this data!

@yodon - yep, surprised us too at first. But MS had a very strong hackathon sponsorship campaign last season (mentors, prizes, etc.) and that really does move the needle.

This is Devpost's, (formerly ChallengePost - oh yeah, we also changed our name today), Student Hacker Report. We looked at & ranked project tags from a sample of 13,281 student hackers who participated in 160 student hackathons and submitted 9,898 projects, either in hackathons or on their Devpost portfolios.

Flask isn't crappy. It's an excellent way for learners & aspiring polyglots (like me) to build a functional app and learn about routing. And it's got a bazillion useful extensions.

Is it great for a production environment? No clue. Same with Tornado. But it's definitely a solid pick.

you're absolutely right - but a lot of whois services have captchas, are hard to read, and give you a lot of extraneous info.

WhoSMS cuts to the chase, telling you if the domain is available or taken - and if possible, includes a referral link to buy it.

Thanks man, much appreciated!!

I'm late to the party - but a few months back I started http://gitat.me specially to highlight useful & interesting repos that don't make it to the trending page.
