I loved the last two gifs. That's an office! Makes the typical startup place look like an infantile playground :)

You're right I guess. I just found it shocking to see it so nakedly on display.

I can understand that but surely one should be able to expect a member of congress to possess sufficient intelligence and moral judgement to be capable of recognising the stark truth of a situation when it's been laid out so unequivoca

Heh yeah. I guess I'm desperately clutching to the (futile?) belief that US congress is primarily stuffed with politicians of the dangerously incompetent and naive kind rather than the evil lizard people kind. People like Bachmann make

From the article: Representative Michelle Bachmann emphasized that the NSA should answer “how a traitor could do something like this to the American people,” After watching the USA Today interview with Binney, Drake, Weibe and Radack ( http

Just out of curiosity... I assume the waiters, waitresses, receptionists, taxi drivers etc. of San Francisco are not all on $70K+ salaries? And if the answer to that is yes, how do they manage to make it work? Either there's a lot of #

Like irahul has said, the issue is the Flask extension ecosystem and documentation lag rather than Flask itself. Which basically means YMMV depending on what you need to get done :) If you are writing most of your own code and not using Fla

Disqus were using it: https://ep2013.europython.eu/conference/talks/making-disqus-... Though I think they may have recently replaced this bit of their architecture with Go? FWIW, I've chosen Flask to power my

About 4 months ago I moved a mail server from a 2GB Linode instance (london) to a 4GB DO instance (amsterdam) and overall I've been very happy with them. No major outages, the cost saving is huge and I/O performance is great. The

Congrats & well done guys :) Flask was the last major block preventing me from seriously moving over to Python3 so I guess that means it's time to begin porting! (there goes my weekend...)

"You scored 22 out of 39 Sigh. Oh well. At least no one got hurt. That's the best we can take from that." Really enjoyed it though! And worked fine on FF 21 (Win7 64bit).

I agree. The problem lies with how people are defining success. If you choose to define success as a "wild level of user and developer adoption thanks to the service being free, fun and bankrolled by investors with hundreds of millions of d

The thing I've never understood is how people apparently manage to stay productive. There's no way I'd be able to get anything done sitting in a booth of a busy coffee shop, tapping away on a laptop and fighting with the congested wifi. Def

I haven't had a chance to google for a source so take this as anecdotal but I vaguely remember reading an interview with the people behind it (when Shazam first launched in the UK) and in it they said they were ripping thousands of CDs a d

Haha je connais bien "la ligne de Bordeaux"... My partner is Catalan and we lived near Perpignan for 3 years before moving here - she thinks of the Limousin as another country! Would be great to meet up for a beer/wine/ricard and talk start

YMMV but for my specific setup, it was just easier on all fronts. My French isn't terrible (my partner is French) but English is my mother tongue and what I'm most comfortable in (especially for business stuff). It's also much easier to get

I'd say the UK certainly has the lead in Europe in terms of talent pool size, legal services, tax regime and government support. I'll shortly be moving back to there and incorporating a company for my bootstrapped startup. I live in France

Good point. I've come across quite a few Berlin based startups that are actually incorporated in the UK e.g. Soundcloud. Someone said to me that one of the reasons for this is share capital requirements. You only need £100 to incorporate an

Reading between the lines, it seems the major contributing factors to their success were the connections they had to other ex-Stanford alumni (Zuckerberg himself being one of them), the internship at Twitter and the stint at Google. A more

I don't know if it was JSON that started the ajax craze... I remember it being Google Suggest that brought the potential of Xmlhttprequest in to the mainstream (and there being a brief period thereafter where no one could decide whether to

Agreed, however, imho you'd have to be insane to run a company with hundreds of thousands of monthly billed customers and turn control of the card details over to a third party (who, lets be honest, will be running their backend in a very s
