  9. S3cmd S3 sync memory usage solution?

    I'm sure I'm not the only one to encounter OOM (MemoryError) issues using `s3cmd` to sync files to AWS S3. I believe that the culprit is that the local/remote file lists are stored in memory. Has anyone got any novel…

  11. Ask HN: I've forgotten which social signup I used

    Sites that use multiple social signup methods (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.) don't seem to have a way to check which method was used to sign up in the past. Am I missing something? I'm surely not the only forgetful…

    I'm part of a startup that hasn't got the founders' interest anymore, so we're looking to sell off the company with all of its technology assets. The assets include the source code (obviously) for both the web API and…
