yeah - that's been my experience too. the few times i've dealt with them, they've been back at me in hours tops. hopefully that'll continue despite them hitting RC

The odd thing was that the code was working in 2010Beta, but fell completely apart in 2010RC. It was a case of upgrading the IDE and having my app crash and burn. First thing we did was up the stack size, but no matter how big we made the stack, it didn't work.

interesting. well - we had the same problem with ndjango. worked fine with beta, crapped out with rc. that, and the shifty api is getting annoying. their last minute shift away from ocaml naming was pretty annoying.

Working on a JSON stream parser in AS3, reading data with flash.net.URLStream, for loading up GPS data progressively. The JSON for a ride like this (http://ridewithgps.com/trips/2000) is about 300k, and I think it will look much cooler if it draws as it downloads.

Documentation. Or if my eyeballs start falling out from that, a mass mailing engine in PHP for use on commodity-type PHP hosting. (For non-evil purposes, I promise.)

11492 accounts, many of them inactive of course. There are more users than that, because many users lurk for a while before creating accounts. We now get around 45k unique visitors on weekdays.

awesome, out of curiosity, what kind of server is HN running on? edit: guy below me who maxed out the thread, server not language

It's a server written in arc.
