I should also mention that Meteor's hiring software developers in Seattle. If this is interesting to you, shoot us an email at jobs@meteorsolutions.com.

This is a good way to look at it, I think. People often ask if I'd use CouchDB again if I was building another similar system - I would, but I'd restrict it to a subset of the prob…

There are reduce views there - both examples 2 and 3 use the built-in "_sum" reduce, which is equivalent to something like: function(key, values, rereduce) { return sum(values); } …

I suspect jl has better ways to see anybots than videos ;)

Shameless plug: http://www.meteorsolutions.com is a pretty cool product in this space. And we're hiring :D

Even with all the supposed deterioration of HN, comments like this keep me coming back for more. Thanks, Bret!

Try following these instructions (if you're on Snow Leopard): http://superuser.com/questions/43531/installing-pygame-on-sn... Worked great for me.

This reads like marketing-blogspam to me. These two projects solve totally different problems, and the author acknowledges it, yet he still goes on to highlight benchmarks where Vo…

I suspect that the wakemates themselves aren't doing the mobile dev work, but are outsourcing it and spending their time on the difficult stuff - getting the hardware operational a…

Meteor Solutions ( http://www.meteorsolutions.com ) is hiring! We're looking for a couple of sharp devs to join a small team building cool stuff in Seattle. Come hack on Python, Ja…

That's a nearly Reddit-level non-sequiter ;) The "Picwing frame" is/was an actual photo frame - http://www.picwing.com/blog/?p=22 ; I don't think edawerd drilled into himself assem…

If you're just remapping modifier keys, the Keyboard prefs pane works well (not sure if it's part of Leopard, though). If you want to map something to ESC, try PCKeyboardHack: http…

If "near" means "close enough to work in", feel free to contact me with some examples of what you've worked on; we've got space that you might fit. Email in profile.

That's true for the social plugins, but if you've authenticated with the site (e.g., click the "log in" button at the top of any CNN page and log in with FB), any 3rd party running…

Yes, they're noise compared to Java, of course; but he didn't imply that Clojure was going to overtake Java anytime soon - both metrics were introspective. Looking at this chart, t…

Reminder to downvoters: downvoting on HN is not intended to be used to express disagreement.

If your argument for why YC isn't worth it is the whole cash/equity/valuation bit, then you definitely haven't talked to enough YC alumni to get a feel for the real value of the pr…

Would be interested to hear your take on Django+CouchDB - are you using a library like Couchdbkit, or rolling your own? Are you connecting it to the built-in admin?

thanks! @banjiewen

It wouldn't surprise me, as that's probably a more lucrative market (teaching English to those in China or India); but when you're building and testing a product, it's probably bet…

Huh. I'm on my phone, so I can't view the site, but I saw a 787 go over my head at about 7:30 this morning as I left home in west Seattle, which is just northwest of Boeing field. …

I don't think it's fair to say that google developed chrome to prevent users from blocking ads - adblock users make up such a small percentage and likely non-optimal demographic of…
