I couldn't agree more with your final thought. I assumed there may only be one or two diverted flights in a day, and certainly a handful more during winter weather, etc. I clearly …

Finally getting around to sharing my long overdue side project that I had started back in Jan 2021. The data processing is handled by two EC2's running Java to parse the FAA's flig…

Good question. I haven't stumbled upon any, but it's possible they are out there. The FAA offers a sample client. Depending on your level of skill, the hardest part might be the on…

I don't think I've seen FlightAware showing aircraft tracks on the ground. They do show taxi times for arriving/departing aircraft and I wonder if they are stitching that data toge…

Pretty cool. For those wondering the source of the data, it is likely ASDE-X/ASSC streaming in from the FAA's STDDS SWIM feed[0]. The terminal and ground data is especially cool an…

HN'ers might appreciate learning the FAA has a developer-friendly program called SWIM [0] to help facilitate getting realtime FAA data (flight plans, weather data, etc) in to the h…

In 2012, YC invested in a company InstallMonetizer[0] which, from my understanding, helps align software products with bundling other installers for additional revenue. [0] http://…

Soon! Migrations[0] are being included in Django 1.7 which is currently under development. For those unaware, Andrew Godwin, the author of South, ran a successful Kickstarter campa…

Yes, this is surprising. Twilio has a reputation of being awfully transparent -- they had a billing systems issue back in July and handled it quite well, IIRC. They also do a great…

> But that's bad, right? I should hope not. I'm trying to think of a situation where a developer wants to document a process (ANY process. In this case: building a profitable produ…

I wrote up a blog post a few weeks ago that covered gun.io, matchist, hackerlist, ooomf, etc and a few other more niche job boards. I hope to keep it updated as sites come and go (…

There are quite a few sites/services out there that are catering to the more "seasoned" developer that isn't particularly interested in the race-to-the-bottom jobs found on elance …

Slightly off-topic observation: 2 results for: django > Books 46 results for: rails > Books Can anyone speak to the demand, or lack thereof, for Django books and educational materi…

Have you looked at Mailgun? (YC alum, now Rackspace) (disclaimer: I did a guest blog post for them, but that was a result of me being a happy customer before they even contacted me…

Your comment is unnecessary and I'm shocked that's sitting high on the comments page. Trivializing the amount of effort and energy this fellow put in to producing/developing this c…
