Don't you need a license to sell cooked food? How do FDA regulations work on such kind of things?

Which endpoint do you use to filter by date?
tsudot | 12 years ago | on: Agile in the Enterprise
Does agile or any other software development process matter so much in a startup? I've worked in 2 startups so far and there has never been a formal way of developing software.

> design your code to use undo rather than confirmation
I can think of two ways to implement undo.
1. Use flags in the database, this method has its own drawback since the entry is not really deleted but flagged as one.
2. Client side. Delay the actual delete request to the server.

Another discussion which got started in the comments[1] is whether to place the 'Delete' button to the left or right.[2]

How do you play against someone who does not follow the book openings? I usually find it hard to tactically have a book opening setup and then develop on top of it.

I was reading about the Sicilian Defence, which got me deep into another variation - The Yugoslav Attack[1] Video [2]
I'm curious to understand if chess masters have all of this committed to memory, and thats something one needs to excel at Chess.

I've always preferred IMO as a client for all my XMPP accounts. I need to start looking for alternatives now.

I recently discovered netbrake. Super awesome tool to limit the bandwidth used by a process. http://www.hping.org/netbrake/
Also its written by antirez :)

Does anybody know if a HTML5 version of Nethack exists?

I'm curious to understand the use cases. From the screenshots, it looks like a note taking app?
tsudot | 12 years ago | on: Video conversations with up to 8 people for free. No login, no installs
This is a pretty interesting app to have conversations with friends.
Business calls, I've had a problem with video. It's often too cumbersome and gives too much info about the visual aspect of myself when it's not necessary and when I don't want it to happen. (e.g., getting on a call with a stranger or clients.) Using the "voice" call, I won't worry over washing my face at 9am in the morning.
Which is the reason I created http://voicechatapi.com (shameless plug)

Try the app in Chrome, which uses HTML5 audio. Flash is for other browsers with graceful fallback.
As Firefox and other browsers support and stabilize HTML5 audio a.k.a. WebRTC, this App will support it too.
tsudot | 12 years ago | on: Show HN: We just open-sourced a Skype replacement with HTML5
This uses HTML5 audio on Chrome and falls back to Flash on other browser.
The WebSDK is currently hosted on s3 and hence the request. Will fix this.
tsudot | 12 years ago | on: Show HN: We just open-sourced a Skype replacement with HTML5
Yup. It's a flask app which can be self hosted on any instance of yours and it uses redis to store conference mappings.
tsudot | 12 years ago | on: Show HN: We just open-sourced a Skype replacement with HTML5
I built this. Happy to take any questions. Code is hosted here - http://github.com/plivo/voicechat/
tsudot | 12 years ago | on: Show HN: We just open-sourced a Skype replacement with HTML5
True, I feel the issue with Skype is that its too personal. You add someone as a contact without realizing that they can monitor your status all the time.
ps. I built this.

Thanks for the confidence. We think that decoding/encoding of audio on dedicated hardware works best for call quality and we are really focussed on doing that.

The main reason though is downloading content through torrents is considered the way to go.
I feel with Netflix and Prime are out there to capture this market, with TVF being the local player, this change of philosophy is just starting to shift.
