Someone make this but with Docker instead. Linux containers start up in seconds, but you'd probably have to consider security a lot more.

Many programmers have flexible work hours they can use. You don't need to be in Silicon valley or have a pile of cash to work in a flexible work environment.

Yes and no.

Many programmers can start work when they want, and end work 8-10 hours after that. One segment.

Only the very well off or upper management are able to truly work flexibly. Show up in the morning for a few hours, take off and go to the gym or home, show up later and work for a few more hours. No problem for the founder of Twitter.

What about the opposite, are you outcasted like a freak if you abuse the free services and eat all your meals there?

He probably has an agenda against Google. It's very common on HN. HN hates Google, but loves Apple and Facebook.

Why stop at Google? Here's Facebook too:

(The blog was posted 4 hours ago and it's already dropped to the 4th page; people don't like Docker?)

I would really like to see the Docker provider for Vagrant happen. Vagrant is so easy to manage, and it would make Chef/Puppet provisioning easy. It also makes cross-platform and EC2/DigitalOcean deployment easy with their respective providers. (i.e. you can deploy an image to EC2 that then runs Docker containers)

I'm not sure it will, it seems stalled.

He was being humorous.

(HN is so pedantic)

These dating/find-a-friend services that require Facebook show up often on HN, and like clockwork are berated because they are Facebook-only (and the privacy issues that go along with it).

Yet people keep making them. Am I correct to deduce they are popular and there is market for them, and that it's only HN that hates them?

How about this.. take samefisher's idea:

> I think maybe each bug could have a pot where people could to put an amount, and if a developer fixed that bug and enough people agreed he would get that pot.

Except leave out this part:

> That way developers could pick the bugs where people are willing to put their money where their mouth is.

Instead, completely hide showing how much money was donated to a bug. From everyone. When a developer fixes a bug, they may get a nice surprise for their contributions, that may further encourage them to work on issues.

A little like GitTip, but you're tipping whoever solves an issue, ahead of time. And because it's invisible, it doesn't make your hobby feel like a job because you don't know which issues are worth the most. (although it may be possible to guess by issue popularity)

Great article, I've read many like it, BUT what I can't find is information pertinent to how one should host their API. I submitted an "Ask HN" (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5820761) earlier, but could some folks please advise me on the hosting side of "Designing a Pragmatic RESTful API"?

> So yeah, if you need a box to run your webserver 24/7/365, you can find a better deal elsewhere. But that's really never been what EC2 is for.

What Amazon offering is? This is AWS we're talking about. They have a service solution for nearly everything. You're saying in 2013 they still don't have a service for 24/7/365 website hosting?
