It's been completely reliable when there were actual problems. The web interface was pretty intuitive to us as well. I really like the login flow. Our PagerDuty is integrated right…

I don't have the current numbers, but: - On Twitter's profitability (this is before Sponsored Tweets launched): http://www.businessweek.com/technology/content/dec2009/tc200... - Ev…

You need your existing (real) password to change your password; e-mail is still possible to change. Probable attack vector is to do "lost password" link and then change it, but the…

That's interesting. Could you post a screenshot and the URL that you are accessing?

For the most part, schema changes can be done without breaking the existing code base (add columns, add tables, etc.) These schema changes can just be run on the databases before t…

The Russians were barely able to slow down Facebook back in 2009. Unless someone on 4chan has a bigger botnet and just decided for lulz to DDoS Facebook, 4chan would not even come …

Calacanis has already publicly denied being at the meeting: http://twitter.com/#!/Jason/status/25165977135 > No, I was not at the "super angel summit," and I would never be pro col…

I think that's a rather unfair assumption to make. Do you have evidence that he's being disingenuous?

Come now, we can be more mature than this. The OP may be an oversimplification of the issue, but that doesn't mean that he doesn't earnestly see and want to fix a problem.

One thing is that it took a long, long time for women to break into medicine and start being taken seriously as doctors. Tech is still relatively young, so I'm hoping that we can s…

Twitter does not do any outright advertising but they put an incredible amount of time into their PR management, as well as making sure that their coverage in the news was kept hig…

Nah. You can usually (but not always) tell who asks the question by checking the first person who's following the question, or by checking the question history by clicking on the t…

That's really interesting to know, actually. I've only been with companies that had MySQL installations (Facebook and Twitter) and so jumping in was really easy, but on the other h…

Argh, that is really annoying though, and our servers really should be able to figure out that the two links, apostrophe or not, should lead to the same question. I'm a bit late to…

You're right; I didn't know about the -w setting. I guess that just leaves PHP.

> That's only useful for dumb languages The compilers/interpreters I know that don't do this are PHP and Perl (C/C++ will do it if you use -Wall, which you should be using anyway).…

A better programmer uses -Wall and lets the compiler check for him.

My favorite part about GameFAQs is that it's hardly about actual FAQs anymore. It's mostly walkthroughs, guides, maps, other content that doesn't really match a Q&A format. The for…

I think the thing is that Facebook is learning from this. If there was actually a viable competitor at the time, the whole hype surrounding the incident might be enough to push and…

I have to be honest, that doesn't sound like all that fun of a party.

True, I honestly don't think C# or Java were even in the race. I think the only real alternatives I would've been happy with would've been either Scala or some flavor of ML or Hask…

True, but remember that most startup founders are not just graduating college.

> And lets get honest here - Pittsburgh is great but if you're finally making it to the big time, why would you want to stay in a declining rustbelt city? Luis (the reCAPTCHA found…

How have your experiences with web.py been? The disadvantages I saw with it are that it just doesn't have a really large community, plus there are features I just don't want to bui…
