curiously

I don't know why are you asking me?

Ah yes I had unlock maybe that's why?

Hopefully this will be enough motive for rest of the world to stop a real modern day holocaust. There's no oil in North Korea but how's about lifting 30 million people out of hell?

what year was this?

We had a small office or closet we converted to a server room with a fan in it. We used to hover a beachball over the exhaust.

that's so awesome. I love little stories like this from early pioneers.

but it doesn't show any login, it just says "facebook login" page but blank.

it just redirected to facebook login

"so I wrote our backend using brainfuck and we've been using it for a year now, you really think you can fire me?"

It seems like day by day the stories being posted on HN more and more resembles something like reddit, and by that I mean stories like this are just so minimal in value and more geared towards self promotion

Almost all popular videos on YouTube are just uploaded in lower quality on Facebook, and friends posting themselves in videos really have a limited audience and tolerance for ads.

Given Facebook's shady history of fake likes and other metrics fudging, it'd be a hard sale.

Who goes to facebook to watch funny or die? Anyone with even the minimal sense of humor and self respect won't waste time watching that lame show. Youtube might just be okay with l getting them go, because at the end of the day people go to youtube to watch videos, not facebook, unless you enjoy watching idiot of a friend's embarrassing moments drunk,

Youtube can easily cut off these partners if they feel fb is a threat. Is it worth losing the biggest audience for a couple more dollars per view?

wonder if they did it to increase their job security. "If I make something that only I can understand, my job is guaranteed, and if it's complicated the longer I can stay employed"

This is what happens when you hire bunch of fresh grads or inexperienced engineers who blow their load whenever there's a chance to reinvent the wheel and hoping it will catch on.

Experienced engineers know that technology that has stood the test of time is boring. But we are not in the business of designing "fun" ways of working constantly, we are here to ship software on schedule and produce something that is easily understood and maintanable by next generation of engineers, instead of getting bamboozled by a new buzzwords invented by empty suits (agile, tdd, xp, microservice, mvc up your browshizzle), regardless, if not an engineer, than some "manager" who can't code reads some article on HN, and decides that's the way to do it.

Why is there a consistent drive in the industry to invent new buzzwords and apply untested, complicated ways of working?

The compromise you have to make to have a micro service architecture doesn't make sense for anyone else other than Google or Amazon or extremely large organizations.

Even with such architecture in place, you are going to end up with far more overhead by using microservices, it simply isn't the case that by isolating individual components into functions, you suddenly get productivity.

It just infuriates me when engineers or product managers bored with their job constantly invent buzzwords to confuse, increase complexity, end up failing, and back to just regular old boring tech.

If it ain't broke don't fix it. Why the fuck would you want to now have 100 different API end points to do something that would've taken less than 50 or so lines of code? This doesn't make sense for 99% of software companies out there.

Why aren't I playing Ultima Online? I've always wanted to play it since I saw it in PC Gamer magazine in the mid 90s but never had a computer.

Has it been updated to a pay to play sort of game? What draws me to UO is the nostalgia value

Can you please send me an email (click my profile link).

what is a data warehouse?

They should really start making memes of the F-35.

Or maybe even a motivational picture of McNamara, with satirical captions.

I don't see how that's any easier.

I think it isn't a coincidence that there is so much order and elegance behind the building blocks of our physical world and the universe but the result is chaotic, and unpredictable.

Maybe it's just our brain discovering patterns that don't mean anything.

is there a game engine where you can create games like this? Love the retro games.

well not exactly a business case but it's obviously a win for developers.

I shed a single tear when I realized I could just fire up flask + nginx + uwsgi within seconds after installing docker.

For a business perspective, it's a little tricky. I guess it can help if you need to offer an onsite version of your SaaS app and the enterprise client had strict rules about being on site.

What would really make docker kickass is if they had a way to encrypt all the source code somehow and protect it.

Are you looking for a way to automate the registration process on the web? Not sure if that's what you are looking for, if so I have a product that can be customized to do exactly that, can you send me a quick email in my profile?

Do you have such data that I can have a look at

Not my start up but http://stage3systems.com/ seems to do what you are asking or no? Are software like this common? I guess the tough part is

1. Acquiring Industry knowledge 2. Getting a sale 3. Developing the software

How did you convince carriers to partner with you? I'm asking because I work in a different niche and see potential companies that I would do wonders if we could have a mutually beneficial relationship but no idea how to approach it. Is it like enterprise selling? Btw that is another big question of its own

So bitcoin casinos are legal ?

Irrelevant. You are now on a totally different playing ground. It's an interesting comparison but not at all valid. flea market is cash only usually.
