I think it's much healthier to work in maintenance mode. Your mind is singly pointed almost meditatively. My personal favorite is troubleshooting. I'm always happy when someone comes to me with an urgent problem. It's such a joy to jump

I think I might be that bg guy. :) Will be delighted to catch up; email me if interested (I'm around).

How good is the pay? Can you give some examples?

Don't forget that this guy (still) works alone. He only needs a small niche, he doesn't need to beat Google at all. His users don't even have to be loyal; they could just be (temporarily) frustrated.

Agree that hypocrisy is a strong word for something that's just a how-to. Anyway, my point was that his recommendations are not worth much.

And what about the hypocrisy of "don't have kids" combined with his "support my growing family" footer? Incidentally, for those interested in photography I wouldn't take this guy's photo advise either. The guy lacks depth in understanding

Exactly. I'm surprised to see many people here saying that the responder was unhelpful or rude. I think that the answer was not only fascinating but also responsible, pedagogical and, in a way, even compassionate.

Not all of them need labels. For example: Google Acquires the Internal Revenue Service. This is all recreational. But it sometimes also gives you perspective. Makes you think in a different way. That can't be bad. Besides, those who are

It likely has a dependency on HN: looking up users, karma, etc., which is just simpler to do on the same machine.

I'm quoting the last paragraph which is a summary: "The best you can hope for in this life is that your delusions are benign and your compulsions have utility." In my mind, the whole post is very much worth reading. "This life" is basicall

And all of the above presumably helped him to co-found a successful (in a make-something-people-want sense) startup. Not too bad after all, eh?

What if you have to serve both interactive users and automatic clients? Would you use the url structure for both or would you have a separate api structure?

by kmt 17y ago
I agree with that. But here you aren't talking about HTTP you are talking about RPC. You could have gone with RPC directly from the very beginning. Typically, you put that on top of HTTP to avoid firewalls, etc. I said simple as possible

I think you might be wrong about the 'underlying protocol'. HTTP is an application layer protocol. If something feels dirty it is to put another protocol on top of it especially if it doesn't add value. With REST, you are not adding more s

Is the well known and used cookie based authentication in conflict with REST? In my mind it's not, it's orthogonal to it. If not logged in, redirect to a login page (resource) which upon success redirects back, e.g. GET login?next=desired_

You could always install a recent version of Emacs yourself even if you're not an admin, can't you? Also, don't forget the options for remote editing.

My take on "sessions are irrelevant" is that you don't start and close a session. You start by creating a resource: itenerary, document, submission or whatever you call it. You do that by POST-ing to the list of such resources and you edi

I've used FastMail for about 8 years now. It's an extremely solid service. They just do one thing and that's email. No spam issues.

I think you got two good answers. They aren't even conflicting, just presenting the two sides of the coin.

And how about node.js on rails? Anyone working on it? Maybe with MongoDB backend? It looks like a convenient fit to me.

I'm forcing myself to try to understand what can be likable about it. The energy it creates? The consistent enthusiasm?

Certainly. In a previous life (10 years ago) I've been a user (and a hacker) of RT. So I know the guy, which is why I said this is most likely genuine.

Principally, you care because you might have been manipulated into reading an article with a catchy name just so the author can make some sales. That said, most likely this particular post is a genuine complaint plus an opportunistic idea.
