Isn't that expected as well?

The idea with Claude writing code for most part is that everyone can write software that they need. Software for the audience of one. GitHub is just a place for them to live beyond my computer.

Why will I want to promote it or get stars?

That depends on how easy it's for you to learn and internalise a new idea.

You can understand the basic premise of these books by just reading the summary, but you need a lot of reinforcement to internalise the idea and want to execute on it. That's just how learning works.

You may want to allow email aliases, but ignore the 'alias' part when checking for uniqueness.

I don't think you can do that. Lambda has a max limit of 5 minutes per invocation. You can however schedule Lambda to invoke as per schedule just like cron.

You'd probably be better off having a small EC2 box that runs long processes than AWS Lambda if your processes can't be broken into 5 minute chunks.

HTTPS?

How does taxation work in this scenario? I'm imagining that all profits(?) will be subject to US taxes.

Would the company that Stripe help register in the US be a subsidiary of my existing company (not registered in the US)?

As impressive as that is, it's even more impressive that the last commit in the project was in 2012.

This 'little' web project is more than three years old and still amazing considering how much web browsers and web technologies have moved forward in this time.

Talking about F1 crashes there was this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renault_Formula_One_crash_cont...

There's also http://gpsdoodles.com/

I believe those are intentionally fake.

The 'fast' ring is surely the releases that are made available to developers - just that they're not free. You need to enrol in the Apple Developer Program for it.

You get the info that you're looking for if you do

You could pay with a normal credit card (like everywhere else) up to the 1st of Dec.

Reserve Bank of India has a rule about all CC transactions needing 2FA and Uber wasn't complying with it. They recently shifted to a prepaid wallet mechanism to do payments.

There's very little awareness around the fact that you can dispute credit-card transactions in India.

Amazon has Billing Alerts that you can use to know if you are using any resources in an unexpected fashion: http://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2012/05/10/announc...

Maybe that's because they're both behind different sub-domains and you did authenticate/use maps.google.com for other stuff more recently?

This honestly is not an example of very readable code: https://github.com/lulzlabs/AirChat/blob/master/airchat.pl#L...

I don't see a point of trying it out unless there's a pricing model described - and I can't find any on their site.

Some options:

* A video call with a Facebook agent who verifies you.

* Uploading a picture of yourself holding a card that says 'Facebook', their city and the current date or similar. The city is something that FB can verify with IP address and account profile.

Yes, these aren't 'web scale' methods but I surely hope that they aren't just using OCR to validate Government IDs.

I think that's true worldwide. People are often much kinder and care about their community more outside the bigger cities.

The article suggests that they are possibly linking the traction control to the KERS system.

Guess who's had the most issues with KERS in the last two years? Mark Webber.

Red Bull haven't been able to get either the weight distribution or something else right on his car to even get 'normal' KERS working reliably.

It's the "Public Contributions" graph that is being talked about.

The title is slightly misleading.

KitKat is the actual name of the next version of Android (4.4).

Aren't we seeing a lot of DNS based attacks in the recent past? I remember .pk TLD was hacked not too long ago.

Considering that most of the big sites run local variants of their services using these TLDs is it fair to assume that one of these next ones could be of the phishing kind? What's the best thing to do - always use the .com hoping that it is safer?

I use Pomodoro quite regularly. It works really well in most use cases for me - except when I'm deep into writing some code. I can't get myself to stop after 25 minutes - and then I'm suddenly thrown off my schedule and not managing time anymore.

I haven't really experimented with getting my work pomodoro for more than 25 minutes yet - I think that something like a 45 minute pomodoro may help me for the coding sprints.

You can get a lot done in 25 minutes if you turn off all other distractions and also you know that you will be back with them (email, phone, HN, Twitter etc) after a few minutes.

As far as books/timers etc go, I just use a kitchen timer or my phone or a webapp like Tomatoes[1] and I haven't read any books on it other than the wikipedia article.

Nice, a quick alternative to using Find my Friends or the now defunct Google Latitude.

How long is a position url valid for?

You can cache the current map area that you're looking at by searching for 'OK Maps'. [1]

I'm pretty sure that the answer is no - considering that Chrome does not use Webkit anymore.

A quick observation: 14+ chapters in the book and nothing on testing? At least, I did not find anything that talked about it.

Is it because there are no standards defined about testing Meteor apps or is Meteor being presented as a framework that does not need testing (hence, should not be used in production)?
