We don't shun bikers but we make them pay higher insurance premiums. They mainly endanger themselves anyway. If I take a very selfish viewpoint and I can choose between a collision with a biker vs a car driver I'll pick the one with the les

My 4 year old had a very strong reaction to a vaccine this year and had to be transferred by ambulance. We have an appointment to special center where they test the vaccine's different components separately. Maybe that could be another opt

It is indeed difficult, I had evaluated mine based on the size of my previous postgres database and had greatly overestimated the size. Sadly I don't have my numbers from back then. It is especially difficult to evaluate since in Smalltalk,

So far it has been running off a 512 Megs slice on slicehost with memory usage below 260 megs. I have seen spikes at over 400 megs a while back but I have considerably modified my app since then. It is running NGinx, two instances of squeak

I am using it for a web application I sell to public utilities. GLASS stands for "Gemstone Linux Apache Seaside Smalltalk". http://seaside.gemstone.com/ To put it simply, it is an object database. Instead of having clients connecting to i

Excellent news. Since the standard way of working in GLASS is to persist sessions to the stone, the 4GB limit was always a worry in case I get a big peak in traffic.

There may be other problems with being too cheap. Sometimes there is a minimal cost threshold for something to be a project in large companies. If it is not an "official" project, it will lag. Another aspect of pricing too low is that if th

The real question for me is why so much 3D TV and more importantly, why now?? Are they only trying to make things more difficult to copy a movie? Or just another excuse to have people purchase new hardware as the cycle for HD is not even ov

No one seem to mention one of the things that annoy me the most with 3D movies: the focus. If you are looking at something different than what the director wants or expects you to look at, it all blurry because its out of focus.

When my daughter was born, I took a six months paternity leave. It was great fun and it allowed me to get a lot of things off the ground for the web app I am now selling.

The subject has already much discussed on HN. I don't see how making the association with the bubble sheds new light to the App phenomena. I doubt the comparison even applies, or if it applies you could put the label "bubble" to anything tr

Right and that is also reflected on grants based on salaries you paid the previous year, not exactly straightforward when you are just a few founders and not much cash yet.

"Some devoted fans will go so far as to pay twice the rate" Wow! I would hav enever tought it would go this far. I have a hard time not seeing this as living in denial... Does that mean I am getting old?

I guess it depends on the kind of school or degree. Higher education always meant to be tied with getting a job... For this reason I have a hard time seeing a bubble for higher education (Masters and PhDs) but I can imagine it for these exp

You mean something like Cyc or Open Cyc? http://www.cyc.com/opencyc/ I am not sure that I fully agree. Even without that, Prolog is very useful for many problems.

The good thing about things like project Euler is that it makes you practice solving problems that are easily constrained. I would say most of the real problems you'll encounter day to day are often much simpler but are far more verbose. Th

I understand being scrappy and all but a cheap used car doesn't have to be a car that constantly breaks down and has lots of trouble. I personally use a small used car (1999, my previous one was a 1991) that I keep in good condition but ren

From my experience, it means you need a break or a vacation. Get in a totally different environment for a few weeks days and do not bring anything related to work. If it is not possible at this time, you may buy time using a trick I have us

I am not surprised. The relation between IT departments and the rest of the company are often weird, it even more complicated when the IT department has two jobs rolled into one : administrating the system and developing them. And they work

Last time I used firebugs you couldn't really edit files in it, it was also missing many goodies for easily browsing code or code completion.

Ok, interesting... So where are the links to these online communities of thinkerers? We heard about this many times over the last few years but I'd be curious to see what exactly is done.

The only sad part is the question of what happens with DabbleDB. It was spot on for so many problems who had outgrown their spreadsheet solution.

I hate to be nitpicking but the protocol, while related to the port is still a separate thing. For example, using a url of the type ftp:// is much more than just switching to port 23, even worse a url of the type file:// is not bound to a p
