It's just a submission tag that would provide an opportunity for not only the submitter but various other HN users to combine forces by merging projects together that never got traction. Hopefully in doing this, new projects may take shape in ways their composite projects could not separately.
Sample Submit Form:
title: Merge HN: yourprojectname
url: http://yourprojecturl.com
text: your project description
Could anyone provide a current list of HN spin-offs and YC funded startups? Or just add yourself if applicable, I would really appreciate it, thank you.
Did anyone else notice at (http://news.ycombinator.com/news) that HN's favicon was temporarily reddit's favicon around 7:30am PST? Maybe I need to get some sleep.
I'm a newcomer here so I apologize if this topic has been beaten to death and then some; any useful links would be appreciated. I've been using MyISAM for a while but now have seen the light of InnoDB. I've read a little that it's slow and doesn't play well with third party technology just because it's newer. I'm just wondering if there are any drawbacks to InnoDB encountered firsthand in the trenches (for your basic, run-of-the-mill applications) before I decide to switch to this engine.
The prospect of transactions make me drool feverishly for InnoDB. I hope I'm not alone.
