Indeed. My mother founded an educational software start-up at 60. 4 years later it's doing rather well actually.

Yeah, I just turned 40, tell me about it :)

You have no idea how young 25 is until you're, say, 30. I didn't even find the right career path at 25. I just started in tech around 28.

One of the most annoying ones is Thrift. But I just googled it and it seems like they are very close to supporting Python 3. A couple others - mysql-python, fabric, oauth2. These are the ones that are on the wall-of-shame. But I didn't

Most of this stuff is great and I'm actually looking forward to moving to py3k. But I've been looking forward for a few years now, though, and it seems like that will continue to for a while longer. The main problem for me remains

There are warranty warnings on any open source platform. I wonder what would happen if an open source database would decide to do this on april 1st :)

Yep, I did this once, I was also kinda hoping not wanting to testify will signal the lawyers my testimony won't be that great for them, but they didn't give up. Eventually I didn't have to testify because a deal had been reac

I think Gnome in its recent versions is extremely polished and consistent. I know a lot of Linux users do not agree, but I really feel it's the best desktop out there currently, at least to my taste.

I'm a pretty bad player (mostly playing with my 7yo son), and I totally agree about the blunders thing. The most effective way to learn how to avoid them IMO is to play a lot against good algorithms - that might not play hard tacticall

As a (mostly ex) C++ oriented engineer, there is a hell of a lot that would make me prefer Go to C++ for a lot of tasks. A language is not about its features, it's about how it facilitates what you need to get done.

I think it has more to do with the first point. That's the culture, and culture tends to perpetuate itself, especially if it's a big corp where people stick around way longer than in startups, and it's a much bigger burden to

But what's the worst that could happen? Let's say you're not drunk, you don't have anything illegal in your car, and the speed is nothing too bad. You were just speeding. Can anything you say result in anything worse tha

How can saying "Yes, I know" get you into bigger trouble than a speeding ticket? At best you can try to lie and state a legal speed if you were going in a borderline speed. Anyway, it could be different in the US (I'm from Is

what I meant was that I think allowing CORS or a similar mechanism is probably enough, and breaking apps like Dropbox is not a great idea, even if there is a non standard mechanism to override it.
736.
by dvirsky 12y ago
Can't using CORS Allow-Origin headers solve this issue, if there's a domain for localhost and a valid certificate for it?

by dvirsky 12y ago
Yep, this is a good thing. Apart from dev work, I like the pattern of local Web UIs for installed apps, I wish they were more commonplace - without risking the user's security.

From the description, it only means that external pages won't be able to access resources on localhost, but you could still develop on localhost as usual.

Came here to say this. go-flags is an excellent package, and makes great use of struct-tags. An extra bonus is that it can parse .ini files and command-line flags into the same underlying config struct, allowing one to override the other.

Running a startup? You should stop reading tech blogs(medium.com)

That's sad. I haven't used their product but I remember them fondly for their excellent blog post about their rigorous unit testing and continuous deployment methodology. http://blog.balancedpayments.com/balanced-p

AFAIK the median/average age of founders is around 40.

As someone from outside the US, how much do you need to earn in order to live well in this area? There was one slide stating a minimum of $100K for a family of four just to "escape poverty". Is that really the case? And if so, how

I actually agree with some of his points on this thread. Getting contributions accepted to redis is notoriously hard, and a few features I've suggested over the years had been rejected. However, I have the utmost respect to antirez for

heh, he actually mentioned me in his post on the thread... I didn't notice it, I'm kinda out of the loop of the community lately.

Is there any recording of his talk or something? Regardless of his actual points, this sounds like an extremely weird thing to do.

You should re-read this and imagine Goldman's messages being read in Vizzini's voice.
