is that a feature of Route53?

it's a simple js view for a 1.4mb json file, so "you got it so fast" really just depends on how quickly you will download that 1.4mb file.

nothing was relaunched, it's just a landing page. i'm not sure why this is on HN.

i read this website as "not cpio"

thanks, thought i was also crazy.

yup. wonder who has those patents now?

you are clearly not a [paranoid] american.

or just configure your environment correctly.

Awesome.

I'm a patient at Duke's Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center and have heard a lot about this.

I have Stage 3 Anaplastic Astrocytoma, had a very successful resection, radiation -- both at New York Presbyterian Weill Cornell, and am now undergoing a long tail of Chemotherapy. It is nice to have the minds at Duke in my 'back pocket' looking into all of this.

It's unfortunate that Brain Cancer treatments do not get as easily funded as experiments for the much more common, even though what they want to do is essentially the same -- eventually cure all.

How is Loom different/better than the other offerings out there?

i believe it's because Rails is as easy as grabbing a shovel to dig a hole for yourself.

Not really sure what your point is here... are you questioning the initial acquisition of OMGPOP by Zynga or what Zynga decided to do with OMGPOP after the acquisition? The former has already been discussed at length and is a dead horse. Now is the time to discuss the latter.

The sale was a success for all people at OMGPOP. Dan and all the board members made sure of that. (this is not private knowledge)

I truly hope this is a "cut once, cut deep" action. There are still a ton of extremely smart people at the company, I just hope they stop overreaching.

as a former Zynga employee, i'm pretty sure the entire management team knows what they are doing, and have expected this for quite some time.

at the moment you can migrate from our storage to your own s3 bucket. we have plans in the works to have a proper data export including all of the metadata associated with your photos and videos. picturelife going out of business is not something that I want to think about, but as a user, data exporting would be a main priority in the case that our service would cease to exist. - chris, cto of picturelife

what is "large amounts"?

build it

i've noticed the TLD facebook.com is down, but www. works fine.

Possibly it's due to your poor grammar?

I would warn anyone that read this to understand what each command does before actually running anything on a machine.

Things like "sudo !!" are INCREDIBLY dangerous, and I would never put that on a cheat sheet.

disclosure: I am the CTO.

As well as double-clicking words to highlight sentences/paragraphs, I repeatedly right-click on any webpage / desktop I am on. A while back I took some time to figure out why I do it and realize that it's an easy go-to for checking performance of your computer (ie system latency). The coolest part about this is that these days all menu items, during peak performance, fade in over 50ms or so and when it beings to slow down its immediately noticeable.

I come from a background of a lot of CLI, especially to remote systems over ssh, and the latency from when i type a character to when it shows up is a really good predictor for the system's IO if its being overloaded.

I guess this is also handy when doing remote desktop or in a VM -- but I never do that.

quite simply, to see just how far we could take it.

as one of two 'server coders' that scaled Draw Something from 0 to 35 million DAU, a 36 hour day sounds nice.

nice, that's my page (ios.e-lite.org).
