quite a big purchase for target, have they bought any other startups in the space?

machine guns and code ;)

Yeah I applied for a job there once, it appeared like they run a dozen little startups with one set of funding. Didn't seem like an incubator.

Finding more and more on projects that, old fashioned admins are less useful and you need developers to script server installations and automate the infrastructure. Whole new area …

Javascript interpreter wars are awesome keep getting more innovation, I'm happily using Node.js for my servers now. Its pretty cool the Mozilla guys are using some of the webkit ja…

Funniest YC post in a while, I hope you find someone ;) To bad I'm in NYC :(

First JRuby guys to Engine yard, now Tim. Sun is losing a lot of good people. Now I wonder how the main ordinary developers are doing there ;/ Can't be a fun place right now

I went on an interview like this already, some of the recruiters in NYC are already doing this. I found it pretty impersonal and not very effective.

I don't it helps that most startups here in NYC are pretty lame, ripoffs of yelp or really weak ideas. I have been very unimpressed and stayed away from both startups and wall st.

Only Nintendo's Wii games are prospering, third parties are having trouble making money on the Wii.

It reads really funny right? I enjoyed reading it even though I already used Git and the GFX were great. This is how all technical guides should be

Unused ram is wasted ram, always do more caching.

Read Ian's response in the comments, its brilliant. I love when the author of the spec casually comments on some blog ;)

I'm glad someone responded to the original post, after so many years of java, I can't really say I ever enjoyed factories they always seemed to solve a problem that was a weakness …

However at that price 400 views at $40 is like 10 cents a view, thats probably your whole profit margin if your an ad based business.

Thats confusing to me also, did you mean the product development? I could see outsourcing the coding would be easier then having people run around and interview people for you.

I think this is more around trying to force the broadband providers to get their act together. Scare them ;0)

Looks like a simpler Puppet or Chef, very cool. Anyone want to comment on the differences ?

The linux box was in his lab most likely in a private network, which he dialed into. He didn't dial into an isp.

You can download builds of the Android operating system and fully rebuild your whole phone from source, so that seems odd to me also.

First thing I install on solaris, probably my favorite unix tool also ;) Can't imagine doing giant database imports without it.

News.Arc ? Isn't all of hacker news written in a lisp variant thats only a few hundred lines long?

I'm excited because package management has really sucked on OSX. Port usually works well enough for everything I need to do. But I always end up with dueling tool chains, the prima…
