Note that this article is almost a year old, and the fabfile.py example he has here is using the old version of Fabric. There's been a pretty significant overhaul of Fabric since then, and it's really improved quite a bit. You can check out

I enjoyed this, but the title and concept are a bit misleading. I was expecting something where he made iterative tweaks to the creative (i.e. the sign) and did continual comparisons of the success rate to see how different changes affected

I actually wasn't mocking them, and as a web developer I too am happy to hear they are at least providing minimal support for some of these common CSS3 features. I'm also thrilled that they are putting effort into HTML5. I guess I was more

by jsdalton 17y ago
Maybe it's naive of me to think this, but why don't they just go all out and announce full support for CSS3? (And HTML5 while they are at it, though I realize the spec is still in flux.) I mean, is rounded borders really the best they can d

Nice work. I showed this to a coworker, who was looking for a way to clean out a bunch of people one of our accounts follows. Unfortunately, he got an error during that initialization phase it seems to go through after login.

If all they were doing was not supporting third party clients or failing to provide an API, I would agree with you. However, from the article: > ...they are implementing byzantine security to actually prevent 3rd party apps from accessi

Same pricing as Clickatell ( http://www.clickatell.com/pricing/message_cost.php ) -- which I consider to be an impressive fact. What I like best about this API is that it sends and receives via a regular phone number that you own as part of

Yes, the restrictions are definitely the reason the App Store is worth so much money. Asking Apple to remove them is akin to demanding that movie theater owners allow outside food and beverages and forgo their $8 popcorn. My point is that t

Not to get into a pedantic argument with you, friend, but the generally accepted definition of "model" in the MVC pattern is "the place that holds your business logic." See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model-view-controller , for example (

To be fair, it's also fun listening to people predict how successful the iPad will be, and mentally replacing every mention of "iPod" or "iPhone" with "Macbook Air" or "Apple TV."

As satire, it's not particularly funny. I think that's what probably threw some folks off the scent.

Sorry, question, why do you say that potatoes have no nutritional value? Everything I have found seems to indicate potatoes are high in nutritional value (e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potato#Nutrition ). I have also heard it said that

Hope you guys will consider a free trial option when you launch the pro accounts. I'd probably need to play around with the pro features before I plunked down the credit card.

I see. It should be noted that this assumption is usually, but not always, true. It's possible to create a google account with a non @gmail.com address (I have two myself). I just tested and confirmed that Google Docs shows the local part o

Is it really true that one can view a list of the email addresses of the logged in gmail users who are visiting a document one owns? I can see a list of usernames of people actively viewing a document I own, but not email addresses. Becau

The smart "if" template tag ( http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/releases/1.2-alpha-1/#s... ) was quite the welcome surprise for me in the release notes! I swear I've written a dozen custom template tags all because it wasn't possible to

I had a similar idea to this a while back. But instead of mapping URLs to transactions, you would map URLs to a fixed denomination of currency. So, for example, the URL http://eepay.com/usd/10/agh38hj3 would represent a $10 USD note, paya

Apologies, but the mobile version of the story that is linked to here got me so frustrated I almost threw my mouse across the room. Can't highlight text, can't copy text as a result, and the article itself looks like garbage. Here's a (bett

Why the editorializing in the headline? The article itself makes no mention of the phenomenon being "perplexing." In fact it identifies a likely (and fairly obvious) cause -- increased computer usage -- right there in the subtitle: > A

No mention of Reddit? I have always assumed that the HN comment system was more or less a clone of Reddit's. Maybe I'm wrong though.

I've always wished Hacker News had a Reddit-style reply notification (i.e. something like Reddit's orangered envelope). It's not just that I want to see who replied to my comments. Sometimes I ask a question or hope for a response from so

AuthSMTP prices are quoted yearly, so in fact AuthSMTP is $168/12 = $14 per month.
