"known" dangers is debatable, that's what the issue is. As posted elsewhere in these comments: http://theness.com/neurologicablog/index.php/does-glyphosate...

This. I would be ashamed to have Uber on my resume for much longer after this story ran, and will think twice when interviewing a candidate who does.

They see through it. They just know they have no other option. Educators raise rates because they can, students pay the rates because they have to. It's the same problem we have in healthcare.

Until employers start scrutinizing education in terms other than "No degree? No thanks.", then we will continue to have this problem, in my opinion.

Putting on my devil's advocate hat here. I think you're greatly discrediting the value of the network effect.

Just because you build something that you need does not mean that you will be successful. People do that all the time, and then wonder why they don't make it. In reality, it's incredibly difficult to get your product in front of people who need it, even if it solves their problems perfectly.

Not saying you don't deserve credit for the hard work you put into this - you absolutely do. Just keep in mind that having a great product that solves a real problem for people is not enough. You either need luck or a network effect (and then you still need a little luck).

I currently have 16 apps deployed via Dokku on my 8GB Linode and am pretty happy with it. I have a wide variety of apps installed: Node, Django, Rails, and Elixir (Phoenix).

On the flip side, now you have no idea if a developer is any good, because all they have to do is memorize a bunch of garbage interview algo techniques / questions.

If you used WeeChat as your IRC client, I have been using this wee-slack script (authored by a Slack employee) and it has been phenomenally good: https://github.com/rawdigits/wee-slack.

Really frustrating when websites just plaster me in the face with an email signup form before I even have a chance to read what the business / app is all about: http://i.nick.sg/1e71733605744a9ba084737429cc694d.png

I just closed the tab. It's not worth it.

F.lux is free software and they've said outright that as devices / systems implement color shifting as built-in systems, they've accomplished their goal.

The Slack community is very active: https://elixir-slackin.herokuapp.com/

Something like that. It's ridiculous. I could not use 1Password until the App Store came back up, which was pretty inconvenient. Tweetbot also had the same problem and the developer tweeted about the situation: https://twitter.com/tapbot_paul/status/664668084146339840 (and more tweets around that timeframe).

Good. The other day the App Store was down and I couldn't use half of my downloaded apps because they failed "verification". I'll be happy as a clam to see more developers move their apps off of the App Store.

Probably not any different than just donating to a GoFundMe fundraiser. It's not actually a deductible charitable donation, and you're receiving nothing in return.

Slack is free without archival of messages and other "premium" features.

This has been my project since 2009, but reposting as I've recently refocused our efforts on code snippets specifically for teams. Please let me know if you have any questions!

I love this and want to try it, but I find it strange that they emailed me to tell me about it being available, when I can't actually use it without an invite code.

This is probably a side effect of startup founders not actually having lives outside of work.

Being in college with $50 to your name does not qualify you as poor.

Just a note, Misfit Flash now allows you to program button presses (single or double) to IFTTT, and from there you can go anywhere: https://ifttt.com/misfit

It's also fairly cheap at $19 (though not as cheap as these Amazon buttons, of course).

Edit: Misfit Flash is an activity / fitness tracker: http://misfit.com/products/flash

Not necessarily true - if the value gets low enough it'll get the boot from the NYSE.

Ah, my issue was I didn't have Wireshark installed, so tshark was not found.

Would you be willing to post your modified up.sh script here, or somewhere? Would love to see what you did to get it to work (still no luck on my end).

Ah, okay. Strange though, Steam client won't recognize the server even when connected. Thought maybe the IP address error was the problem.

I ran into the same thing. Not sure how to fix.

You could just write some code to manually invoke the lambda with specific data using the SDK, no?

This wasn't the case when I was uploading mine, but maybe they've done some sort of smart checking on the execution role (it'd be pretty hard to detect just by looking at the code, I would think).

Yep, but if your lambda creates a new file in that bucket, it'll get called again (as an example).

Edit: realized my mistake in the wording of my comment above - _how_ I made the infinite loop had escaped me for a moment.

But, if you have more than one Lambda working on a single S3 bucket, for example, it's possible to trigger executions infinitely.

Edit: my mistake - you still can't have multiple lambdas operating on a single S3 bucket. I had triggered an infinite loop by manipulating files in the same bucket that it was triggered on (triggering another execution, infinitely).
