Definitely experiencing issues on our end too. Twice this week!


Not sure if this is the primary reason, but:

"Look for specified patterns in the tracked files in the work tree"

http://git-scm.com/docs/git-grep

Presumably, this would exclude a lot of assets or libraries that aren't part of your branch/repo, don't know what the OP's setup was (are those 11K+ files all tracked?).


If you have a compiled project, files that aren't tracked include all of your intermediate .o files, for example. If you `grep -r` the wrong way, it may traverse the .git directory.


Thanks for the input! Any idea how much a local sound technician costs?

We were thinking we might just get mixers + mics (such as http://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-ATR2100-USB-Cardioid-Dy...), with the mixer able to plug in via USB (I personally have used this set up for recording my own music). This seems like the cheapest setup -- downside is the wired mics and the need to have people grab a mic, but we can mitigate this with a multiple mic setup -- 3 mics. One for the main speaker (if there is one), and then two to pass around as people talk back and forth, or ask questions.

In terms of the sound itself, we can just plug in some speakers to whatever machine that is in the Google Hangout.

As an added bonus: we have our own parts for a Karaoke machine


Thanks for the heads up -- if only they weren't so expensive and if only we already had the expandable ones.


I haven't ordered one, but I could see it being useful to give access to certain people at certain times. Like if you're using AirBnB you can give someone temp access, or if you want to give new employees access to the office without having to make more keys/cards.

edit: You could also use it to detect when the deadbolt is used, presumably when someone you know enters/leaves, since a burglar would probably not use the deadbolt ;)


I love that someone who HASN'T ordered one actually has a better real-life reason for using one!

Yes, I can see that temporary access would be a good use-case.

But it's probably cheaper to buy more swipe cards or keys at the office than pay to make sure everyone has a compatible phone with them.


My thoughts exactly -- going from 30 to 3 servers is no joke and it couldn't just be because of a move to node.js


> Make sure you like the designer’s style so much that you would trust them to create a design for you without any input.

This concept extends beyond design -- you want anyone you work with to be someone you trust to do their job.


If a client ever approached me without having some sort of direction or plan or strategy in mind, I would never work for them. I want clients who know what they want, who I can partner with and provide appropriate guidance and input, and who will fight me if and when I make a decision that doesn't align with their goals (though, obviously I do my research and work to avoid such a situation).

In a way, this system reminds me of Light Table[1] in its ability to change some code/settings and get instant feedback. It totally changes the way people create content because it becomes so much more accessible and so much faster to see changes -- you can play around with a lot of different approaches more quickly, resulting in more room for experimentation.

Pretty amazing stuff! Really curious to see the tools that power all of this, as well as hear the architect's (or architects') vision for all of this

Being able to compile code and reload it while the engine is running is something that has existed in many engines for several years. What's cool here is that the engine keeps running while editing and compiling, then it auto-reloads and pushes the changes when compiled.


Yeah definitely -- I guess what I meant was that there's now an interface to manipulate code, without having to touch code, and then it automatically goes through the process you mentioned


I definitely agree with you -- but I do think it's a double-edged sword. On one hand a lot of unauthorized content gets posted and people get frustrated because their original content is ripped/duplicated (with other people sometimes taking credit!), but on the other hand, the ease with which people can post stuff also leads to greater exposure.

Any extra steps to post content can mean the difference between something going viral and something remaining unseen in the dark corners of the Internet. I don't know if this is a good comparison, but this reminds me of the piracy study[1] that said piracy was beneficial for sales. These lists are a way of "pirating"/distributing content, though it seems without any real gain to the original creator due to lack of attribution (that's where the comparison definitely breaks down). I suppose the two would be more similar if you could somehow watermark the content to somehow point it back at the creator

Obviously, this method is really annoying for a lot of us, but the fact that it works so well and is generating all that traffic, likens it to all that Viagra spam we get -- people keep clicking! I don't know if there's any amount of technology that will help people gain common sense
