http://blueflood.io/ is an option. It's built on top of cassandra and has experimental support for use as a backend for graphite-web. There are several engineers still actively wor…

Or for people who find it convenient to type/write an 8 character email address in non-word-of-mouth communication, which is the majority of email address communication anyway. I o…

HD595s aren't worth buying directly. It's cheaper to buy HD555s and mod them. They have the exact same driver, with a piece of sound dampening material that can be removed. http://…

Re [0]: If you never want your data downsampled, keep data at a single resolution which is equal to the flush interval used to push data to Graphite. Carbon will never "change your…

Interesting. I'm curious about the legality of a company putting all or most prospective employees through a 'trial run' as an independent contractor before hiring them. Ignoring f…

I taught myself to code by writing bots for EVE. At the height of it, I was running something like 13 accounts without paying a dime out of pocket by buying time cards for in-game …

If you're looking for more mashups, check out Girl Talk, Milkman, and Super Mash Bros. If you're looking for similar electronic music sets, here are a couple I've been digging late…

I feel like I'm missing something here. Why would someone (of any gender) feel like they're missing out due to an inability to fit a stereotype melding douchebag frat boy with prog…

Personally I use a pair of Shure SE-215-K in-ear monitors with the "Shure CBL-M+-K" cable that includes in-cord mic and volume adjustment. That cord will work with any in-ear monit…

Please don't actually buy HD 595s. The audio driver is exactly the same as the one contained within the HD 555s, the only difference besides the price tag and model label is that t…

Interesting that you'd switch from Skitch if it had that feature set. I can't imagine a scenario where I'd ever prefer to hit, from a page I'd like a screenshot of: > cmd+l, cmd+c,…

Assuming that this is the reason for his inability to access HN, why would a ban have been made at the IP level but not at the account level?

Are you unable to access HN from https:// as well as http:// ? I know of some recent issues where some Comcast ip ranges in San Francisco were unable to access the site without swi…

For reference, I had vested the shares that I purchased.

I did not in any way expect this to be a serious windfall for me. I also didn't mean to imply that this was a windfall for investors (who were merely reimbursed), or anyone but fou…

Fortunately, no.

I'd prefer to be the better person here rather than defame them publicly. If anyone would like more information or to discuss this privately, however, my email is in my profile.

First employee hired at a startup. Paid for my options before leaving the company. Six months later the company was acquihired by Google. Three months after that I was given paperw…

This link seems to have much more specific data from the original study: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/11/111114221018.ht... EDIT: The abstract is available from the pu…

The major advantage I see with this over HipChat is that you can use existing IRC client software to connect. Personally, I'd much prefer Irssi in a terminal to an Adobe AIR produc…

More concerning, what happens to the hundreds of millions of people who don't have a domain to even be (or not be) a rockstar in? When unskilled labor available outstrips demand fo…

There are plenty of people who pay between $10 and $100 a month to have access to a dedicated seedbox in order to maintain ratio requirements on private torrent trackers. These peo…
