I love it too but I'll push a little on "sanest out-of-box" web framework. template/view rendering is a bit more complex than it needs to be. totally understand that it's a side effect of pattern matching but I&#x27

Agreed 110%. If someone feels this combative about the company/org they chose to join then that is toxic.

in the business world this simply isn't true. you don't assume that company will succeed because you give them money or mentorship, you assume that primarily good businesses will take money and mentorship and translate those thing

very interesting that a few schools (Babson, Harvard, Rensselaer) score highly in both models.

Couldn't have said it better myself. I'm sure there are some great points in this post but I can't get over the obviously biased perspective (and borderline ad hominem attacks on FB).

I mean, if you're building an app for Twitter scale on day one you're already doing something wrong. But yeah.

Better for building out services. Parallel processing. The supervised process abstractions are incredibly powerful. If you're building another Twitter I would still use Rails. You'll be much more productive. On the other hand, if

Though not the end of G+, hopefully it will be the end of G+ as we know it. From day one G+ should have simply been a social mesh between the many (very) popular Google properties like YouTube, Play, Maps, etc. Making it a standalone applic

You realize that this one example actually proves the rule, no? In order for the math to work out in this instance you need a large, tech-focused community that might one day turn into a workforce of engineers that might then bring thei

Ev as CEO would be a better call than Jack, IMO. Ev's passion is still in a related space where as I don't think Jack's heart is as connected to the Twitter product as it is to Square these days. Really though, I'd take

The real question, given your reaction, is why you'd want to build software for a closed platform?

Sure, it's interesting to know (even if there's no way to verify what he's saying is correct), but it starts to come off as passing the buck. I think your perspective on the HN crowd might have been more valid 3-4 years ago b

This is a really bad answer to a concern about customer service, just a heads up. We want to be reassured that you value your customers and will be working to make things better no matter what, not given paragraphs on why it's actually

I like Ruby/Rails, I like Go. I like frameworks that make your life easier when starting a new project. I don't think Go is anywhere near the list of languages to build a Rails successor on top of. Rails can do so much of the cool

Salt Lick and Franklin have fundamentally different approaches to brisket. Totally cool if you don't have a preference, but it's sort of like saying programming language X is no different than language Y. Franklin dudes have been

That video was rather bad. If you want a better description of the Twin Prime Conjecture I think these guys do a much better job: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkMXdShDdtY

Whoever wrote that headline has never walked from the shower to their bedroom in an unheated house during winter. It's like being punched in the stomach.

Torm was so Rapha-esque they even got in a bit of trouble for it, I believe. Twin Six and Road Holland also have some combo of minimal/classic and wool jerseys for good prices. The former of which definitely has some crazy stuff as wel

So many cycling brands use .cc domains, not sure who started it. Also the main competitor for this sort of style is probably more along the lines of Castelli/Gore than Rapha. I dig the idea, but the aesthetic types are going to stick w

I'm a personal friend of Nicole and it didn't strike me as odd. She doesn't have a dishonest bone in her body, really. I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't even register that people might find her prior friendship t

Microsoft people correct me if I'm wrong - but this feels like a decision Ballmer never would have let pass? This feels huge to me as someone that has always been on *nix variants but that has been told the .Net environment is amazing

I actually asked their CEO about this on PH. Building websites != engineering, and we need more of the latter. I do think there's a place for skills-based learning to take up some of the slack, but simply rehashing the same Rails/

The original goal was to make the "elite education" a factor of the actual education itself. Minerva should be harder to get in to, by merit, than any other university. At the same time, anyone who CAN pass that barrier should be

I'm a little put off by some of the wording here. In talking with Ben and JK early on they were really against Stanford and Harvard's "no better than chance" acceptance rate and wanted to build a system where anyone smar

Releasing libraries tied to IDEs sound like an absolute nightmare to have to maintain over time. Package managers exist for exactly this reason - I have no idea how anyone at Twitter could have ever thought this was a good idea.

When businesses shut down it's legally acceptable for customer data to be destroyed. Your pictures are just data, and if those images are so important then you should have backed them up in another place. Furthermore I'm positive
