I could be wrong, but it doesn't seem like anyone willingly deploys new apps using mongrel anymore. It's all passenger, glassfish, etc these days.

From the relatively external POV (I don't care for facebook), this is just the 3rd round of the social pressure thing, the first two being friendster and myspace. Facebook is the first one that has really also dragged in older generations,

Staticmatic is another static site generator that might be close to what you are looking for. You can write your pages in Haml and Sass, so in addition to much simpler markup and the ability to use inline textile and markdown, you can also

Why is this on the front page? It's nothing more than an ad-filled article talking about playing with an API wrapper in a command line.

That's only harvard, but harvard is still the center of a lot of business research. Of course, the vast majority of people getting MBAs from top-tier schools got in through hard work throughout their lives.

"The game designers do not make the rules in a multiplayer game." Wha? Of course they do. All video games (including MMORPGs) are highly controlled environments and good game designers account for different playing styles.

"Is that an edict handed down from on high?" No. Any decent multiplayer game is designed and, when necessary, updated to prevent or permit certain actions.

If you play a PvP game and/or go into a PvP zone, expect PvP. If you keep getting beat by someone who is playing by the rules, then get better. If there's still no way for you to beat them, then it's on the game developers to balance the ga

I'm going to go against the grain here: yeah, he was griefing them, but the game and the players look worse here. If it's a PvP situation, then game designers need to be aware of creative tactics people come up with. If the game is unbalanc

"FWIW, there are lots of Python folks moving to git and hg as well" It's not remotely as universal as it was for Ruby developers. When working with Python you still can't go a day without hitting an svn repo, but with Ruby you'd easily

I think this impression comes from the culture of experimentation in Ruby and more widespread willingness to adopt new tools and libs very quickly. Python definitely has a diverse web development community and more options in some areas (li

That's how I feel about Django at this point. A quick glance at reddit reveals how out of hand it's getting; the answer to every web programming question is "Django!" regardless of whether it's relevant or not. And every popular comment or

"'Google? Whoa. I gotta check this out'" I had a similar experience in '02 or '03. Then I quickly recognized that Google's decision to concentrate on Python, Java and C++ doesn't have any bearing on my companies' choices, especially since

I'd argue 3.upto(6) is much more readable and obvious than range(3, 7). Even just on a conceptual level, Python requires a degree of translation and its stop argument is not intuitive whereas even someone who has never programmed before can

He's talking about the practice of combing through personal online activity in general and only mentioned the log in issue as an "allegation" that provided an extreme example.

Googling someone and checking out their Facebook and MySpace? Yeah, it's common. I've seen surveys that put it at about 1/3 of hiring managers doing it. Is it common for them to make you log in? Probably not, but he didn't say it was.

"Google is to Today's startups what IBM was to 70's & 80's Startups and Microsoft was to 90's Startups, a Gigantic and Monopolistic enemy to fight against." That argument makes no sense, especially in comparison to facebook. Google

"This is the satutory definition of publication" I don't see where it discusses "editorial selection" which you consider to be "a defining feature of publication" "disintermediating the gap between feed reader software and end content."

"Really?" Yes, really. And it's necessary to have a more thorough understanding of the current issues in copyright law and recognize that it's based on statutes and case law before speculating about what may or may not violate fair use. W

HN only publishes links and, often but not always, headlines. Most publishers are OK with this, but not all. Recently the AP has reaffirmed that they consider copying headlines to be copyright violations and are threatening to again go afte

"By whom?" Obviously by anyone hosting the feed for republishing full content without copy permission. I'm not happy with the current trend in copyright law, either, but it is was it is. "I don't think it's as cut-and-dried as you say."

AFAIK, there aren't a lot of benefits to registering an LLC in a state other than your own and it can end up costing more when you register to conduct business in your own state. I recommend anyone considering this to treat out-of-state reg

"I think Microsoft's claims about security seems valid enough." Their claim is that it's more secure than Firefox, so according to what you quoted their claims are unquestionably invalid.

OK, "18000+". Same thing in this context. Beyond that, there are a range of flaws with self reporting that are immediately apparent when you look at the entries and rankings. Most entries are grossly incomplete, and they are all very incons
