You know the author of the article wasn't a product person from Github right? They work at Chef.

Out of curiosity, can you name some of these firms that contract out these kinds of engineers?

They were already paying it though. It wasn't an additional cost they had to make. It was a cost they chose not to cut for a period of 3 years. I agree with you, it is beautiful.

HN comments aren't really the place for "me too" responses, but this story gave me some warm fuzzies. It was a nice story, despite the obvious inefficiencies that'll be ending very soon anyway.

They're useful for providing summaries like row totals and column totals. Rather than just get an aggregated count for the total GROUP, you can also get aggregated counts for each unique combination of columns within the GROUP. col

> Why would they? Why would a studio decide to reduce their gross and therefore their net by going with a less profitable model? I don't think the bigger ones will in the short to medium term. But if the gross is lower, then they&#x

I see the point you're trying to make, but there are still "traditional" laws that need to change for the global internet to support all kinds of media. To be fair, Netflix are trying to drive the change that will lead to thi

Of course it will, because of really high ticket prices and they're providing a product that many people want . If ticket prices were lower though, Ford wouldn't be able to ask for that kind of money. Not many films can generate

Exactly, supply and demand. He demanded what the studio could afford to pay. If the movie is no longer generating so much revenue (because streaming) then actors will no longer be able to (successfully) demand 8 figure payments. I think som

That's the model that I think would actually be acceptable to all parties in the short to medium turn. I'd be happy to fork over $5-$10 ppv for a cinema release over the $23 I'd pay at the cinema. I'd still go to the cin

Maybe it'll force Hollywood to pay actors far far less. Harrison Ford was paid somewhere between 10 and 25 million (probably towards the lower end of that scale). Flipping the question a little bit, how do you justify paying actors 40

By the sound of it, your pricing strategy makes sense for the kind of product or service you sell. By comparison, a company selling a single product should (in my opinion) have pricing available for at least their smaller tiers. Professiona

I've only ever done MVVM development with WPF/XAML and it makes a whole lot of sense for me. Viewing it as a logical code-behind is exactly the right way to see view models in my experience. I've not done iOS development, and

Finding a sql injection in a query string is finding a bug. Is using the injection to dump a table exploiting the bug for additional gain? It sounds like you're only allowed to penetrate one layer of a defence in depth system. If you

Parent didn't say 50% of interactions were integrations, just that the integrations are 50% of the reason people use Slack and I agree. There are other somewhat comparable products that are a lot cheaper, yet don't deliver the s

I think it's a fantastic idea, but I struggle to comprehend how they can possibly think that $80 million is an appropriate amount of money for such a venture.

Do you think Netflix could have been started in Australia? Not all startups require fast internet connections, but an entire class of business ideas are flat out impossible here.

Without (yet) looking at the CMS admin I can tell you it likely won't. The reason the new flat theme was accepted is because it was css-only changes. Lots of people have customised their admin, so we can't just chop and change the

Stockfighter is the game. Starfighter is the company. The article you quoted is technically wrong, but since the company has only one game it is conceptually right. Blizzard (the company) is to starfighter (the company).

FWIW I agree the solutions in that thread aren't good enough, especially since most of them are postgres specific. Now that migrations can be shipped with contrib.auth, a better solution might be possible. I'd probably prefer a fu

Unfortunately it looks like you hit a bit of a sore spot with regards to django auth. There isn't a good out of the box solution for email based usernames. There are patterns available, and the "swappable" user framework is t
