So I had a similar idea about six months ago. Briefly start working on the app when I was informed by a lawyer friend of mine that most states had laws against advertising drink specials. Interested if you have looked in to this at all, es

Shameless self plug: http://danielnill.com/blog/nodejs-tutorial-with-socketio/ Not a full tutorial, but hopefully a decent intro for those looking to learn the ropes.(I would love to hear feedback good or bad)

At some point you end up outside of the scope of testing, but you can build bootstraps to make sure that your mocks match whatever they are mocking. Obviously, this does you no good when something like an API service goes down, but that's i

Unit test ( as already mentioned) and build up static json/xml/whatever files to run your code against so that you can integration test your stuff without integration testing the 3rd party stuff.

I'm curious why you suggest avoiding ORMs. I've been debating this for a while and while I like the accessibility and abstraction that ORMs provide in Django and Rails I'm not familiar enough with Doctrine, DB_DataObject or the other PHP o

The problem of "low innovation" in relation to the internet seems to be a problem of infrastructure. Building Google lead to building Google maps which is now leading to building a self driving car which is a problem that when/if it is solv

a lot more information here https://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/SplitSettings I typically use this set up: - settings.py contains global settings that aren't effected by deployment level. - at the bottom of that file you have try:

I've had this feeling before and I've worked with people who express this feeling. My question is, what is the alternative to having this feeling. You want to show that you are now knowledgable of better methods and you would like the crit

How would you streamline the shipping process? It would seem that the next wave of movement to web services will be SAAS services that address larger business side services like shipping and piece-meal manufacturing, but I'm not sure how th

So it would seem that the outrage of the author is misplaced. The emphasis is put on the fact that the sites are being cloned, but that is not where the value lies. The value is in gaining traction in international markets. This practice

To be clear, from what I could tell nothing described in this article is honest to goodness slave labor.

I'm sure you can get decent traction from adwords in this market, but I would think that you could do wonders with seo here. The number of blogs you could write and forums you could comment on have got to be nearly endless.

A few small things: - you seem to have some crazy js loading on the facebook auth page. In chrome/mac it resized my window to fill my screen length wise. I would recommend going with facebook's default auth popup. Then again maybe you are

I'm not convinced that they want to backpedal at this point. They get the sponsored content and users that they wanted (or whatever it was the changes were that upset everyone). And frankly, the content is a lot better now than I ever rem

Nice site. One thing I came across: Your code validation checks for necessity without checking for sufficiency. In other words while "hello world" will be accepted. So will something like "hello world"" Also, when I att

God, why are physical product startups so terrible. I understand it's the nature of the beast. But still, it's been at least 25 years since the advent of carrier shipping and the proliferation of make-piece manufacturing throughout Asia. I

I like that conceit in the abstract, but I don't think this site even passes that. Does is display a significant talent in that there are many pictures from many sources with all the same theme? Doesn't this site just display an asceticall

So, I flagged this post as not relevant to HN, and normally that would be the only action I would take. But I'm kind of curious as to why this is being up-voted so much. Is there some element of this site that is legitimately within the pu

Excellent. Does a great job of clarifying.

This is pretty cool. Unfortunately it's coupled with some of the more obnoxious documentation I have seen recently. While the docs aren't very long, I had to read through a third of it to figure out simply what Spark is. I'm all for being

I would agree with your assessment. But it's not just Apple that's making life difficult for HP. Simply put (and this has been happening for four or five years now) Assus Acer and Lenovo are eating HP's lunch on the low end and Apple is eat

The idea that class size is a key leading to higher student success rate is a misnomer. Studies over the past 15 years have consistently indicated that class size has little (sometimes even converse) relation to student success rate. http
