    Rad! Haven't run across Archive Team before. Looking into them now.

    Interesting - hadn't considered that possibility. Thanks! I'll look into it.

    Seems reasonable, though given the size of the file I'm probably going to have to host it somewhere for seeding purposes rather than just parking it on my home fileserver (yay Comc…

    Ask HN: Best way to distribute multi-GB dataset?

    I'm in the process of shutting down Word2[1], an MMO scrabble-like word game we built for Node Knockout back in 2010. The game's world is amazing - ~265MM tiles, ~123MM played word…

    If that were the case, how would the data input into your cell phone get stored on the card? I believe at a minimum Coin uses BLE to transmit card data from your phone to the devic…

    Having spent a fair amount of time in PhoneGap, I recall one of the tricky bits of using stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString to call into JS land was that it could block, leadin…

    The accuracy is definitely a mixed blessing - interpolation, velocity awareness, and (screen-independent) gestures go a long way toward a good user experience.

    The device can be positioned anywhere you like, but I'm guessing there's a definite learning period if you have it somewhere other than under your monitor (sort of like what I imag…

    It's also possible that medical applications (and, by extension, deploying the hardware in a hospital) would require them to have a whole different set of dev, manufacturing, and Q…

    The replay button in the local web UI is enough to make this instantly useful. Thanks for building this.

    What's the storage multiplier for TokuMX vs. straight mongodb? Will my total size on disk go up or down?

    Is there a feature roadmap somewhere detailing what order these and other features will be added (actual schedule is great too!)?

    Fascinating. A bit of digging suggests the founder, Ross Nochumowitz[1], has a second business as well: Big Boyz Bail Bonds[2] (note the identical avatars). He was CEO of the latte…

    It's viable. Drivers exist for most of the interesting storage engines you'd use for user records, leaderboards and the like. You'll need to pay attention to any server-side operat…
