> RDF/EAV is more graph than relational structured. It doesn't solve the exact same problem. Yeah 100% this. Comparing a graph data model and a relational data model while obviously possible isn't really all that fruitful

I'm self-taught and I got my first job through going to user groups and scoping out what was going. Second job was with a much more difficult problem domain, but I'd taught myself some CS from textbooks during my first job so in t

11 or 10 paid holidays? Do you mean that's the total number of holiday days you get in an entire year? Does that include public holidays?

True, but it's a dangerous precedent. The fact is that a lot of law in areas such as traffic, waste management etc is basically meant to be fluid and a deterrent; if everybody that littered where it was illegal, drank from open contain

Yeah, I don't really have any faith in legal redress so while I support the intent behind this, I'm wary about actually filling it in.

If you add the Gemfile and Gemfile.lock to the image before you add all the application files you can cache that step IIRC, then only if that step changes will bundle install run, so long as it's placed after that step.

I've spent literally the last week working out restart strategies for our critical containers, so it's fair to say this has something pretty world-changing as I might be able to ship next week now. Seriously, I was writing bash wr

Mountable volumes and data containers works for us in staging atm, you can easily spin up single task dockers to pull that out, tar it up and send to S3 as a backup regime as well.

I refused, and then uninstalled the main app. Their required permissions for the Android apps were getting ridiculous.

Don't freak out too much. Make a list of the minimum list of skills you need to do a non-trivial project solo, and learn those. Once you've got that base you can expand out, and if you've got a few different things to build o

By that measure the Beatles could be said to be from Hamburg, as that was also formative for their career. Even internationally, I would argue that 'Cavern Club' and 'Beatles' are inextricably linked and more famous than

I think it might be closed source. The site looks identical to Popcorn Time, but it's not clear if this is a fork of the original application or a new one based on it.

It is true. As much as any other industry, the music industry is entirely about connections and who you know. This is an interesting article about the biggest new pop music station in the UK, and how they go about dealing with playlisting (

I also like the new design a lot, though I do agree to some extent about the contrast issue. On a retina monitor it's no worries, but on my external it could probably suffer greater contrast :)

Absolutely, or there's a focus on process rather than real decision making. Either there's no clear leadership or people are passing the buck in lieu of making a call that might turn out to be wrong in the long run. When you'

This is the second project named 'Q' that's been on HN in the last week or so. All cool ideas, but some Googling first by all parties would probably ease confusion.[0] [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7

This is why I should not be allowed to name things, clearly.

by hipsters_unite 13y ago
Haha, well fair enough - even more reason to have checked I suppose. Maybe textQ would be more appropriate given this project's use case?

by hipsters_unite 13y ago
This seems like a cool project, but Q is already a well-used JS promise library so there's a bit of a name conflict there even if the libs are aimed at very different tasks...

by hipsters_unite 13y ago
...which is why I upvoted the post? Just saying, a lot of people aren't aware jQ even has them, even if it's not inline with the A+ spec.

Article 8 & 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights? Well aware that they are proposing stupid stuff, but surely that's unenforceable? In any case, it's one of those where I'd argue the problem is therefore up to th

To be fair, the GCHQ mass surveillance in the UK arguably contravenes the European Commission charter on human rights, it's just that the UK gov/GCHQ aren't being held accountable.

It's probably better to have it than not if you're going to be using AJAX, as at least jQuery implements promises (after a fashion).
