Sad that the dev-kit apparently costs money. Unless I'm missing something, you have to pay to explore the SDK.

I've got my pitchfork.

We experienced something like this a long while ago, something like 4-5 years. We still employ our workaround, which is to have a tiny "keepalive" instance in each AZ in the ELB.

The OCR is flaky. The first email has "Release in Part" and the 'Part' is coming up as 'Fart' after OCR. And in the second email the word "fact" is coming up as "fart". If you down…

This is an old article and is almost entirely op-ed. No idea how this got to the top of page on HN. :/

Wow. So complex and tightly packed. I wonder if they have any information on how serviceable the unit is, or what its operating life-cycle might be. In any case, a fascinating achi…

I was hoping this was an update to this project; bugfixes, or more examples, or docs. Very cool that this exists though. @emodendroket "Isn't the fun of writing NES software basica…

FYI: This web demo already works extremely well on my Android device.

Iron Bar for President! I think it's a very weird analogy, and a terrible title for an article on phys.org.

The source is apparently, "Some Czech guy". At least they plainly state at the beginning of the article: "Note: Some readers have commented that the original source for the article…

I would consider parts that can be used in board games part of the board games ecosystem and market though. Even people making those dice sets, dice rollers, and such are supportin…

Also, even though I also think it is irrelevant distinction between miniatures and board games - I'd like to add that Zombicide is not a typical miniatures game. Also, the recent s…

Ok, no 503s but just got a very small burst of 500s, "com.amazonaws.services.s3.model.AmazonS3Exception: Status Code: 500, AWS Service: Amazon S3, AWS Request ID: -redacted-, AWS E…

We saw a short burst of 503s a short while ago, but we have not seen any since. Hopefully we do not see any more though. Also, for the record, S3 has been very stable for us otherw…

I'm pretty sure this is Numberwang.

I'm not going to read the article, and I'm not going to even say if I like VIM or not. I have become completely bored with the discussions about the pros and cons of VIM and other …

It's not bimodal, because there there are 10 different types of people.

Looking forward to giving this a try - we currently use an offshoot of "resque" for the Java ecosystem called "jesque", but it's always good to explore alternatives.

I know 122.. Mötley Crüe!

In homage to things like this, there are a number of 512 byte, 1k, etc. game development competitions. You can find them allover for a variety of machines. If you're interested the…

I'll have to give Gun a go when I have the chance. Thank you for providing the contrast.

Have you tried redis? http://try.redis.io/

I understand where you are coming from and I'd even recommend your article to people considering using queuing. I apologize if made it sound like I didn't like or understand the ar…

FTR: We use (Resque/Jesque) redis-backed queues extensively in our applications/APIs for interprocess communication, off-loading messages that don't have to be processed immediatel…
