Since DHH started writing, there have been 800 generations of starry-eyed startup people with unexamined motivations. He can do his thing and there's more than enough regard for the value of it.


Any civilization advanced enough to build a Dyson Sphere would by definition be one capable of extreme, long term focus. Since ennui is the enemy of long term focus, they'd probably have conquered it.


Great work! I wish there were one of these for Russia.


Thanks! There wasn't one for Germany and I needed it, so I scratched my own itch. if you have the knowledge go ahead and do it yourself!


I wonder how hard it would be to extend it for Austria.


not hard, but I'm now sure if there's enough offer/demand for Austria to justify losing the focus on Germany.


Great idea! I emailed you yesterday.


If it turns out our entire universe is a simulation anyway, then what's the difference? The cruise ships walls are a simulation of a simulation, and our memories of them after returning home are a simulation of a simulation of a simulation. Nihil Sanctisne?


This kind of thinking might be one of the: "consequences of lying/tricking ourselves". That is, losing touch with reality. I'm kind of kidding, but not completely.


Easy: use cloud storage with 2-factor authentication.


That will weaken the attack, make it a little more difficult, but it won't thwart it.


This seems to be more or less exactly the same as http://jetstrap.com


Looks like its different because its not for building only front ends but actually fully functional websites on Node.us. and its open source.


I bought a 4-letter domain (edofo.com) on Namecheap for the standard .com price but now don't know what to do with it. It just sounded like a good company/product name.


That's 5 letters?


Hangul is great, but don't try to use it for English. Try writing "Larry really loves the zoo very much". You get "Raeri ri-a-ri reo-beu-seu da joo bae-ri meo-chi".

In other words, you lose the L/R and V/B differences, and words like "much" can't end on consonants, so you get "Muchi".

Hangul has no sounds corresponding to "V, F, R-L, Th, and 'woo'".


Following Korean spelling rules, yes, but when I was a kid I had a slightly adapted Hangul that I used for English all the time. It was a brilliant secret code and only took a couple of days to master it. All I did was add a couple of characters borrowed from Hiragana and put a floating bar above T and S to make TH and SH. I can still more or less remember it and read it 30 odd years later.


Actually, the prices are right on target for Seoul, South Korea.

Unlike most websites of this sort, I'm surprised to find the information accurate.
