Check out maptail (https://github.com/stagas/maptail) for a node.js implementation that tails logs

How is this different than http://put.io ?

Tap Me - http://tap.me

We're a funded startup, sights on transforming the in-game advertising space. We're hiring all over the place, especially lower level engineers (C, C++), mobile developers (IOS, Android, j2me, etc), and API/devops guys.

Code we play in: IOS, Android, node, php/hiphop, and even some c#/XNA. Our team is comprised of former game developers, and our working environment is pretty incredible.

We'd especially love to hear from you if you're interested in low-level cross platform mobile development or big data problems. Bonus points if you're a gamer.

Email addr in my profile.

I want this as a monome app.

Github needs sound preview. Feels quite odd to have to download a file in order to listen to it.

Tap Me, Inc. - http://tap.me

We are hiring full time web developers, devops, Flash+HTML5 specialists, designers, and potentially other lots-of-hats people. If you're talented, we'd like to talk to you.

Tap Me is a funded startup focused on building next gen in-game advertising. We've got a fun and energetic workplace, and we love to think big.

You can contact me directly at ws@tap.me

I was afraid to read the style guide for fear of seeing K&R vs Allman indents/braces. As usual, it was hit on. However, to my amusement, the "Right" way of doing things actually has a syntax error:

  if (true) {
    console.log('winning);
  }

Thankfully there's a happy fusion of spinning rust and SSD: flashcache [0] and L2ARC/ZIL [1]. Cheaper win.

I am seriously excited about using this. I've been holding off on configuring new forward deployed servers before automation is in place, this lets me get work done now without worrying about shooting myself in the foot later.

Interesting. When I think of fast paced environment, I think of a driven environment with lots of youthful energy that moves quickly.

Shameless self-promotion: My Chicago Startup Tap Me, (http://tap.me) is hiring. If this kind of work environment sounds appealing to you, my email address is in my HN profile.

I started a lifestyle business. It did that, and very well. And then I became bored.

If a lifestyle business works for you, then that's what you should strive towards. Some would call me naive or childish, but if you're the type of person who dreams about changing the world, don't sell yourself short. Don't grow up, and don't give up.

Go for it.

It sounds like the ROI on the investment didn't meet levels acceptable to the VC's portfolio requirements. If the rest of of the team is ready to walk, then it sounds like the best thing to do in this situation is to move on and take them with you.

Best of luck!

I'm sure I'll get down-modded for saying this, but on WHT people will tell you that you get what you pay for, which is in stark contrast with what most people here are saying (lack of gratitude for being a charter customer, etc).

Sure, you paid $200. But if you've been a customer since 2007 then you've basically paid the same price as any cheap shared hosting provider. Contrast this experience with Layered Technologies that ran three price hikes and then when I still didn't leave the server I had with them essentially told me to fuck off once their harddrive failed.

At least jasonhoffman had the courtesy to tell people their best option is to switch servers to avoid trouble.

But, like they say, you get what you pay for. If lifetime support and stability is what you'll come to expect, don't pay bottom dollar prices up front.

Disclaimer: I am not a Joyent customer in any way.

It seems odd to me that charging business credit cards would cost you more with a merchant than charging normal consumer credit cards. Are businesses really more likely to incur chargebacks or generally be problematic than consumers?

lionhearted, which books would you suggest to get better at negotiation?

It basically is; the technique used here is sometimes called a delayed join, which is also extremely effective on huge sorted queries.

I agree, chromeless is nice. But I love Reason. I really enjoy being able to immediately introspect into the signal path, something which can be much more vague in other music apps. Ordering, layering, and combining effects are common practices in sound engineering/recording/performing to achieve different sounds. Being able to explicitly define the path in the chrome is actually quite handy.

Chrome can be a good thing. Really.

Vimium for Chrome is great: https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/dbepggeogbaibhgn...

Ok, so imagine ten thousand of those pallets stacked on top of each other.

Getting a patent for something isn't necessarily a bad thing in and of itself. Doing harm with those patents is. Many companies get patents to protect themselves from situations just like this one.

I recently replaced the SAS drives in all of my database servers with SSDs. Watching IO wait on my usage graphs drop while db latency fell to near-0ms was such an incredibly gratifying feeling. Worth every penny.

If you've got heavy random IO on your dataset (90% active, OLTP here) and/or deal with any sort of significant contention or deadlocking across your disks, I would strongly encourage upgrading to SSDs. Of course, if you can fit your dataset into RAM, go that route. But if you're well past that point, might be time to consider SSDs.[1]

I wonder if this is why wget'ing from github always returns me the --no-check-certificate error:

ERROR: certificate common name `*.github.com' doesn't match requested host name `github.com'.

Quick aside: Look at how many hijackings occurred before 2001, especially in the 70s and 80s: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_notable_aircraft_hijack...

Before 9/11, it was just another risk of flying. Now...

"And if I was writing code, I found something very interesting: I don’t think in English when I write code. I think in code first, and I can translate written code to English. When I was trying to talk to people when I was writing code, I found that I’d have to write pseudocode and then talk to them about it -- and when my pair wanted me to talk about code, he wanted me to stop typing. But if I stopped typing, I couldn’t describe what I was doing. Every time I tried to write code and talk to my partner at the same time, I could feel the lurch between what I could feel -- the complex shape of it in my head -- and what I was having to say."

(emphasis mine). What an incredibly familiar description. Does anyone else ever feel this way? This is why in situations where I'm trying to describe a solution I end up just grabbing the keyboard, doing it myself, and letting the code talk for itself.

For me, pair programming comes easily when describing a solution that can be simply defined and understood. Doesn't matter how difficult the problem itself is. Pair programming becomes more difficult once you have to interrupt your coding to facilitate the process. As an introvert, this comes incredibly unnaturally to me.

My favorite wines these days:

However, by submitting your entry, you: are granting us an irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide right and license.

They're not saying that only the winner has to grant said license, they're saying that everybody who enters has to grant said license.

It's like 99designs, except in this case, MS gets to take home all the designs instead of just the winning one.

From FlightPrep's blog [1]:

In spite of the foregoing, FlightPrep stands by its offer to grant a free-license to RunwayFinder to operate its website during this negotiation phase of our legal dispute. We are not asking RunwayFinder to shut down and in-fact are offering them a temporary free-pass at our technology in hopes that this gesture of goodwill will better enable both RunwayFinder and FlightPrep to constructively work toward a mutually beneficial long-term solution.

Constructively work toward a mutually beneficial long-term solution, eh? With patent enforcement? Sounds more like strong-arming RunwayFinder into a deal they wouldn't otherwise take to me.

Periodic movement is what we use to measure time, yes. But I can't imagine that time is simply a human abstraction. Just because there's nothing to measure time with doesn't mean time doesn't pass, right?

My brain doesn't like the idea of time in the context of relativity. Just because the relative (nominal?) measure of time changes as the forces of the universe may or may not cause it to doesn't mean the absolute (real?) period I wait for the train every day changes. Just because the clock stands still while you're moving away from it at light speed doesn't mean "time" hasn't been spent moving away from it.

(I use nominal and real because, oddly enough, economics is the closest thing I can relate this to.)

I was wondering the ame thing. If I were to start youtube on 100tb, would I be blacklisted too?
