But that puts the onus on the sender not to spam people who may not be interested. There needs to be more control for the receiving end.

I wasn't singling out any particular languages, just giving an example. It's a lot easier to understand code in an unfamiliar language if it's written in an idiomatic fashion as opposed to using all sorts of tricks.

And even if your team is superstars now it doesn't mean it always will be. What happens a few years down the road when you now have a team 5 or 10 times the size with people of varying skillsets and areas of expertise. Now that guy with mos

What's so special about the scrotum versus another part of your body? People regularly punch holes through their ears and other parts of their skin, and even get their children to do the same. A lot of parents even agree to or request that

Is there anything other than abstinence that's verifiable by both partners? Non-visible methods could be lied about whereas visible ones such as condoms can be tampered with.

Not sure why some guys have so many reservations about this, it sounds like a simple and reversible procedure with a quick recovery. I'd get it if it were available in Canada.

As well as a lot of drawbacks and side-effects.

Thanks for taking the time to explain, I'll definitely be doing some reading over the code.

I've actually looked a bit at bulbflow before, being a Python programmer who has had an interest in graph databases for quite some time. That's why I asked my question originally. Can you give an example of the types of relations you're usi

What's the advantage of storing a blog in a graph database? Or is it just one of those "just because I could" things?

An interesting perspective. I too would like to spend more time writing open source software. The main reason I do not, and something which I think holds true for a lot of people, is that even if our company wanted to open source some of ou

Total linkbait title. There's nothing wrong with getting the data out of Amazon, it's writing it to other cloud providers that's the problem. If you just want to access the data or move it to your own datacenter presumably you will only be

Beware that once you subclass namedtuple you are losing out on one of its beneficial characteristics: memory efficiency. Instances of subclasses have an instance dict which has a non-trivial overhead. You can avoid this by defining __slots_

To each his own I guess. I actually really liked his speaking style, Paul came across as being easy-going and approachable. It also made his speech with notes not sound so much like a dry and stuffy keynote you usually hear at conferences.

From the perspective of someone who frequents Hacker News then of course it's going to seem like there's a ton of sites using the nearly-stock bootstrap look. That's because people like us actually look at sites like "Built With Bootstrap"

You seem to be making the assumption that many of those people are working on Django full time. It's pretty clear from their descriptions that most of them have other day jobs.

That's a trick I've yet to learn. The other problem being that I prefer to stand and move a lot when working ;)

I must be in the minority but I never found the huge cans to be comfortable. The weight becomes annoying, and they cause my ears to get warm and sweaty after extended wear. Earbuds are alright, but they never fit in my ears properly and fal

As someone who's an IDE "beginner" (I usually code in Vim, recently started using IDEA) in my opinion there's nothing at all about this that "helps beginners get going". Instead of having a useful toolbar with a few of the most common opera

To be fair, the MQ and rebase extensions are shipped with mercurial, just not enabled by default. They share the same bug tracker as the main project and in my experience are just as well documented and tested as other bits of Mercurial. It

In fact to me it looks like the new Messages logo is derived from the old iChat logo with some of the skew removed and another bubble added. Nothing to see here...

Exactly. I was always under the (apparently totally mistaken) assumption that Apple's approval process was there to catch exactly this kind of behaviour. It's supposed one of the reasons why an Android-style permissions system is not necess

It's true that this is the problem, but it's not like people have not been trying to find a way to make the process quicker. It's not recently that we've been able to effectively start applying computational techniques to aid in drug develo

Chrome has a desktop notification system similar to Growl. Not sure if Firefox and others implement it. I much prefer it over the titlebar modification which I just find plain irritating.

I don't see what distance has to do with it. You're still crossing the border from one country to another regardless if you live 5 minutes or 5 hours from the border. To be honest, his experience is not so bad. In pre-EU Europe (and probabl

That's plain BS. When I was in Warsaw in December and iPhones were everywhere. During the holiday season I saw tons of people buying legitimate non-pirated music, movies, and games at stores like EMPIK. In fact after the new year when I wen

There's also the issue of exposure industry cred. I mean, we're talking about GitHub here, one of the hottest websites amongst developers. Working on it comes with a certain amount of prestige and every feature they add results in a massive

Actually even lower level than that. iSCSI just makes a block device available over a TCP/IP network. You can use that block device however you like, write random data to it, partition it in to multiple volumes, use it as part of a volume g

I can't seem to get this to work. I type "Vancouver" in the "near" box and I just get a message that says "Please match the requested format.". What's the requested format? What did I do wrong?

Interesting thoughts on the Christmas parties. I guess the smallish company I work at (~40 people) has a different demographic because are Christmas parties definitely seem more low key, family oriented affairs. I think the average age in t
