So he did zero load testing before publishing an app live on television, developed with technology completely new to him?

He doesn't mention flow, as in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_(psychology) . Without it, you're pretty much wasting time whether you're at home or at the office. It might be easier to force yourself to do some menial tasks at the office

How do your alternative examples solve the problem of using a single key (ssh key) to authenticate both using an ssh client and http(s)?

HTML5 is a convenient label for discussing and comparing other alternatives which also tend to have labels, such as Flash applications, desktop applications or native iOS applications. People will know what you mean in the broad sense, with

Does Namecheap have automatic credit card billing for renewals nowadays? I wouldn't consider it "better" if it still doesn't.

There's absolutely no point in trying to "suffer" ads. If the ads are of no interest to you, then it's a dying business model anyway. Using AdBlock is a way of communicating to the advertisers that they're doing it wrong, at least in your p

Is this in some way significantly better than using normal REST APIs to communicate? It seems to me like we've been through various RPC's in the past (SOAP, XML-RPC, etc.) and REST has generally proven the simplest and most interoperable so

In my own experience, using an existing CMS has rarely fulfilled project requirements very well. It's never about just "static pages". You want things like menus and sidebars with specific structure, multi-language support, commenting, sear

Interesting, I completely disagree with this. I don't want an extra window popping up for downloads, having to switch to it to check the status, and I find Chrome's download bar very useful to immediately click what I just downloaded.

I think the web can still be human-accessible content hosted at stable linkable URLs. But now the question is, can we require the user-agent to support JavaScript in order to show the content, like we already require it to support HTML.

Ask HN: Is the web ready to require JavaScript?

Then again, if nobody maintains a current version that's compatible with the latest OSX and provides automatic updates, you can say that the product "dies off" even if the source code is still out there.

I understand this causality as: People must pay taxes in USD, so they need to eventually convert whatever currency they use in business into USD, in order to pay their taxes (or go to jail). And this gives USD the backing - having it keeps

Are there lots of people who like JavaScriptMVC? I used it but soon moved to Backbone.js. And now I'm considering moving to Spine.js, which looks more advanced. (Or, at least more "rails-like" with its Model API.)

I think legislation is soon needed to define a maximum time (e.g. one year) of storing a user's accumulated information unless he explicitly opts in for longer storage. I don't really care if Facebook personalizes ads based on my current in

So removing individual status updates, comments or messages does not really delete them from the database, only marks them as removed?
471.
by kennu 15y ago
I didn't hide them, I clicked "Remove Post", "Remove Comment" etc. for each. Of course, Facebook probably archives them somewhere anyway.

I think Facebook's new features are good. They made me realize how much of my old crap (status updates, comments, etc) Facebook has stored. So I deleted everything older than one month, using the new Activity Log view and some Selenium scri

And I hope they spend some resources in making MongoDB a first class citizen for Django / Rails projects. Like a complete drop in replacement for MySQL. It's already pretty close. Life would be so good if you could use MongoDB as the defaul

I get a blank, black page, which seems to have some sort of Flash blocked by my FlashBlock, that I can't activate because it's covered by HTML overlays or something. Not nice experience.

In Puppet you can specify dependencies between Services and Files, so that a service is automatically restarted when a file changes. The only trick is that Puppet must be aware of the file change. This happens automatically when the file is

Seconded. If it's not in my Google Reader, I'll never visit it again, unless somebody happens to post a link to it on FB or HN or I accidentally google it.

I've always used a state machine whenever I've parsed XML using an event based parser (SAX). Although lately I've been replacing an explicit state variable with a stack containing the current element path, since that's pretty easy to do usi
