Sometimes you want the wine to be exposed to oxygen as it does; it changes the flavor of the wine, sometimes for the better. This is similar to decanting a wine; exposure to air changes it chemically. Wine is often a social experience - so

Sorry to see that this did not gain traction! ("traction", get it? :) Minor quibble with blog post (or really, its marketing spin...) there are tons of car services in the city that you can call to have someone pick you up! They are arguabl

Sure, this is fair. I tend to use "hacking" to mean "tinkering", and it could be said that I have a fairly loose usage of the word. To me, this article gets to the crux of what I find particularly delightful about hacking (tinkering?): unra

Yes, it is front-page worthy, because the details give us insight into how one might make any sort of change to a codebase like this. "If you want to be a hacker, these are specific steps I took to hack something up ." In a domain that mos

Here is maybe a silly question: I order food every day. I make a phone call or use a website, and an hour later, a pizza or sandwich shows up to my door. What is prohibitive about doing this for groceries, toiletries, or other other arbitra

Guys! The point of this article is not to prescribe the only method of displaying human-readable file sizes. Obviously one could use `ls -lh`; the author clearly demonstrates that he is willing and able to read man pages to find answers. Ra

This is super cool. One thing that would be useful is an "examples" page. That is, have some sample .txt or .html files, and show us what the output .doc, .docx, .pdf, .epub, etc files look like. Just a list of static files, really. You cou

Great for these guys to have their event sold out! (Though... the justin bieber comparison is a bit disingenuous, but hey, i clicked the link so it worked.) Here's a question: for companies that sponsor hackathons, do you find value in doin

Lots of people are saying that this is not evidence that copyright is evil; only overreaching enforcement is. I'd submit that, increasingly, these two ideas are indistinguishable. I'm very much in favor of copyright (after all, I make a liv

Yeah, this was about as organic as it possibly could've been. I bought an el-cheapo Android phone from Virgin Mobile and was annoyed that I couldn't check to see how many minutes I have left. I searched on the internet, and others had the s

I know that it takes time for each ad network to warm up to your app, as it gets a sense of how much traffic, and what kind of traffic you have. Possibly swapping out different ad platforms exacerbates this problem, or makes it take longer

Haha, fair question. I'm really really proficient in Java. I used to teach it in school, I've done it professionally, etc. So I had no trouble at all writing the actual "guts" of the app, or even the android-specific APIs. And while I'm not

I use AdMob - nothing fancy. There are other ad providers who send me spam emails about their services, but they seem really awful (they install their own apks to do more invasive interstitials, widget icons, etc.) They have a feature calle

I wrote a simple android app which lets Virgin Mobile customers see how many minutes they have left on their account. [1] It is open-source [2], and I have optional ads. (I created the app without ads, and then added them in a later update

The neat use-case I see coming out of this is enhancing an onboarding process. I work for a company which sells wine online, and a large number of people have strong preferences about the types of wines they like (red, white, chardonnay, ha

I personally have found a lot of difficulty with JSON-based logs, because tools like `grep` and `cut` don't suffice; I usually have to write a more complex regex with `sed` in order to extract useful information I want. Anyone have a good u

I want to nitpick slightly, if I may, albeit the point is not related to the general discussion of poverty in India. There is also some modern, relevant benefits to identifying someone's caste: it is an indicator that someone comes from a s

I mean, the central point of the original comment was the stark contrast between rich and dirt-poor, who often sit side-by-side, and how we better hide these differences in Western nations. I had just wanted to nitpick that the bus example

I would be interested in reading a blog post which details your experiences and business decisions behind all of the frameworks you have mentioned. I often find myself wanting to start new projects in $new_platform but have no idea how to r

Ah, okay, so something like Celery would handle all of those kinds of cases for you. (Though... doesn't rabbitmq have many of those features built-in? Queue server replication and redundancy and stuff? Though I suppose a dedicated project w

Can you clarify what you mean by "use a library?" It's easy to follow the rabbitmq tutorial and build a nice little pipeline for tasks - what is the difference between that and using a library?
