>Did your laptop selection site just replicate the data from Amazon, or did it try and do something novel?
I thought it was novel. It was basically a guided questionnaire that asked you about your needs and price point and then spit out a laptop recommendation at the end
I assume this is using some kind of amazon pricing API under the hood. Does anyone know how to get access to that kind of API without already being a successful affiliate?
That wasn't the issue I had at the time. I had the required disclaimers but they still rejected me because the sole purpose of my site was to sell their products.
I'm a bit surprised Amazon allowed this page to do affiliate marketing like this. I had a similar page but much more generalized to laptops and they told me my site had to have some other content: it couldn't just exist to promote the amazon products. If they've changed their stance on this then great!
I working in XP for a bit and the constant pair programming aspect was simply too fatiguing for me. I enjoy pairing every now and then on certain problems, but the constant presence of another person left me utterly drained at the end of every day.
>The FAA said the inspections will take between four and eight hours per plane.
Seems reasonable. I was wondering if a single event should really be enough to "ground" all similar planes, but seems like they just want to do a quick inspection.
OP's solution isn't remote code execution though. It's all in-browser, which is why it's pretty cool. Assuming you're only running code that the client themselves are providing, you're in pretty good shape from a security perspective.
Congrats on HN post success. Did you get any criticism? How did you handle it? That's my biggest concern with writing and sharing more on the internet: people can be pretty darn ruthless when they don't agree with you.
I don't think I'm the intended audience for this. I don't particularly want to build the foundations of tomorrow. I want to enjoy a comfortable life with my family. If I get to write some fun software along the way then that's cool too, but certainly a distant second place.
