I think Disqus is a great service, and I suspect that this business model will work fine for them, but it's obviously not ideal for everyone. The economics of hosting comments are …

Gah. The old site and old pages will come back -- part of the shift that pmoz mentions above is that different teams ran the 2010 site and the 2012 version, and so we're learning (…

That's cool. I think my first computer-related job was circa 1984, when I worked for Vera Molnar and her husband. Some of her art is in that archive, but there's more at http://www…

Find a mentor who can help for free, and who will take the time to learn more about you and your startup than HN commenters can in a random thread.

There is a notable exception: http://thefailcon.com/ "FailCon is a one-day conference for technology entrepreneurs, investors, developers and designers to study their own and other…

This is a tad off-topic, but I'd love something that's more like django's admin UI for mongo-using projects. Not the same tool, I know. What's a good word for something like that?

This comment thread is a bit depressing, but ignoring that. One of the bits about the piece that has me scratching my head a bit is whether the mess that is dependency management i…

Right -- we'll be adding JS support in a later release. That can be lesson 4 (where 1. is "what's HTML", 2. is "what does HMTL look like", ...)

It's primarily for educational purposes, indeed. The pages are hosted on Mozilla servers.

Temporary glitch, sorry 'bout that!

The target audience is very much _NOT_ real developers. Think of it as "lesson 2", where "lesson 1" is something like x-ray goggles: https://webmaker.org/en-US/tools/x-ray-goggles/…

Yah, we suffered some issues on the cluster which caused temporary failures. Sorry 'bout that!

Thx, we'll see if we can find a good monospaced font. Although IMO it's not as important in html as in other languages, for some reason.

Nice! I've been looking for something to give me a better feel for what's going on.

I think the real trick isn't convincing hardware makers -- they do what the operators ask them to (at least in the non-Apple world). Operators like Telefonica are interested. See e…

I don't know that anyone's tried that yet. Boot2Gecko is focusing on making a real phone that people will really be able to buy, so working on a platform that requires "fighting th…

It's even more fascinating when viewed in Firefox.

You must not have read brendan's posts on HN about dart!

IIRC, there's a windows-specific bug that was discovered at the last minute. They're fixing it & respinning.

I used to share your skepticism about single sign-on. I'm actually quite bullish about BrowserID because it uses concepts that both users and websites are very familiar with (email…

I think we agree? browserid & apps & intents-or-something-like-it are all mutually reinforcing, IMO.
