Time invested doesn't even remotely imply greatness.

Because you might not have the budget for a Themeforest theme ? Extended licenses, which you need for a Saas product, are around $800 or $900, which is affordable for a business (still way cheaper than hiring a designer), but far from free.

The basic concept doesn't make a big difference. The real meat is the generic model views, not the base CBV, imo. It may not be revolutionary, but extending an UpdateView to block anonymous users and throwing a mixin that limit access

poudriere isn't a ports upgrade tool (afaik), it's a tool to roll your own binary package repository. It's mostly useful for building a pkgng repository, since there wasn't any official one out.

Laptops aren't really where FreeBSD shines. It's possible, but linux is clearly more advanced on that front. I'm not sure many people bother with it, I certainly don't. (I run a FreeBSD VM on a Windows host) Some thought

How is the CDDL more restrictive than the GPL ? As far as I can tell, ZFS can be included because the CDDL imposes less restrictions on the final distribution (the non-CDDL parts don't have to abide by the CDDL license, which would b

I find it amusing that there isn't a single word about runtime performance in the whole essay. In the end, when I code in C++, it's because I believe my code will run faster and generally use less resources, and I'm ready to

Because articles and magazines don't magically come and talk about you. You have to work to get them. The people behind LXC don't have or need a PR team. The people behind Docker, on the other hand, do.

Deep learning is just a technique to do learning in (possibly many) layers. And I disagree that trying to actually understand sentences is merely "slightly less shallow" than existing sentiment analysis systems (which, for the mos

There's no evidence of hard work in this page. It's a marketing video. I can make the same claims as them. Worse, projects with catchy colors and no substance are submitted to HN all the time. Maybe they actually worked hard and d

One of the problem is that the tutorial on the emberjs website makes use of ember-data and doesn't show you anything else. You have to dig a bit further to realize what exactly the distinction is and what you can use instead of ember-d

Yeah. Let's teach the algorithm to hellban people who disagree that Google is awesome.

Oh, I don't mean to say these aren't taught (though being taught something and mastering it isn't quite the same). What I mean is that those are the parts of a CS background that have actually been useful in my everyday codin

The "while not bothering the rest" part effectively doesn't work, though. People who will never buy anything from an ad in their lives still get ads served to them, because the cost of serving ads is roughly zero. The facts t

There are things from a formal CS background I wish more people mastered. Things like understanding how JOINs work, basics of memory management and understanding that two nested for loops is likely to be worse than a single one, even in the

Because if I own your server, I can set it up so that it serves the good file to your pingdom-like service, and corrupted files to everyone else. Or more realistically, I'd do something more targeted, like serving the bad files only to

Because a good part of the optimizations are language-independent. And you need to understand these optimizations before going further. The computations which are redundant and can be done once and stored afterwards don't change depend

Read the article. Quote for you: > "Though the pure-Python functions are probably not useful in practice, I hope they've provided a bit of an intuition into what's going on in the background of FFT-based data analysis.&quo

Another way to see things is that the US, and especially Silicon Valley, have ridiculously high salaries. I'd say that compared to the rest of Europe, developer salaries in London are probably on the high side. The service prices (heal

Knowing how to fizzbuzz doesn't make you a good programmer. But not being able to do it is a very strong signal that someone can't program in any professional setting, no matter what they pretend. It's a very simple and effec

The problem is mostly that Openvpn is responsible for setting up the routes that forward all traffic through the tunnel when it starts, and to remove them when it's done . Openvpn only secures your traffic when it's running. When

I've seen many networks blocking udp entirely. An openvpn on a HTTP tcp port (article says 80, I would say 443 is better) is much less likely to be blocked (openvpn also knows how to go through an HTTP proxy).

Fortan isn't dead, by far. There is a lot of scientific and industrial code (in astronomy, aeronautics, ...) that is in Fortran. And I'm not talking about legacy stuff that is only in maintenance mode. These codes are still evolvi

Affordability and availability ? This is silly. Tesla is making electric cars that rich people would actually buy. Not low-end electric cars for the masses.

I'd wager 99% of codes have a big if(200) { // Do stuff } else { // Try again later } Actually, a bunch of them probably don't even check for response code. Edit: If dataaccessd is really the iOS native CALDAV

There doesn't seem to be much drawbacks to this strategy. I can think of very few startups that failed because of shady early tactics, as long as it stayed only a way to get to traction, and wasn't a decisive part of the business

It works fine, but there's still no official repository. Maintaining your own or using a third party is possible, but that's more of a temporary fix.

The "display your real name" Youtube pop-up is clearly designed to be misleading. The damn thing doesn't even have a "close" button. Nor does it have the option everybody wants to choose ("I'm not displayi
