My grandfather had at least two pistols on him on any trip out of town. I'm guessing that's the license he had considering he was 82nd (later 101st) Airborne and then head of an AP (Air Force MP) outfit.

Yup. A guy I know, his dad was paralyzed from the waist down, lives in a care facility and shits in a bag for the rest of his life because someone joker high on whatever didn't want to be arrested. So folks might appreciate that a cop

It's trading speed for risk of a ticket. If tickets for dangerous driving were given instead of for speeding, then people might optimize for what is safer, not just what would not give them a ticket.

Prima facie rule is really "don't be a moron." I would throttle up in the right lane and not have a speed differential not too great compared to traffic, because someone that cuts you off to make an exit could be fatal. Also,

Last line, can we make that 72 pt font and top of the page? (HN feature request: soundbits.) This whole approach to diluting ostensibly one of the most important standards is beyond unprofessional, it's an example of failures on many l

Good start my ass, you haven't actually tried any of your "suggestions," have you? no-md5 doesn't currently work: "_EVP_md5", referenced from ... no-des doesn't currently work either, the followi

They need to be removed immediately for misconduct. Every day they are allowed to continue practicing law is a spit in the face.

I find my daily intelligence is highest in the early morning 6:30 am but productivity peaks at about 9:30 am. Anything in the afternoon is a steady decline and by evening I should just do something that doesn't involve sitting in front

In China, pulling a fast one is de rigueur. So it might be just a typical business "f u, because we can."

So there's enough blame and rage to go around. Any leader with a spine has to first contemplate "how did I fuck up?"

I bet big dev shops would actually pay for this to know whom needs a vacation, etc.

Yup. But probably wise to run screen or tmux to avoid processes on the other end getting HUPed in case of romantic interludes, etc.

Not really. There are only a handful of features that are necessary. Furthermore, JEOS-like minimal systems should only enable features that are absolutely necessary. Minimalism means a smaller attack surface.

IOW: totally worthless. The penalty for security fails of useless features should be a slow, painful, humiliating death.

TLS is the zombie emperor of design-by-committee feature creep.

Neat. The problem with templates in general they lose an ability to hack on and recreate them because they depend on code generation and manual tweaks that have already been done (and lost). As such, I'm refactoring https:/&#x2

It depends. For initial work, AA is a quick hack to get something out there fast. It's akin to django admin. Anything more complicated than batch spreadsheet CRUD will benefit from non-AA, custom admin UIs. One thing that we'v

Yeah we use figaro for local dev and non-heroku production apps to override already sane defaults (extra cruft in config/ and initializers to do that), which the "variables" table can override and is app-admin configurable.

by midas007 13y ago
We use figaro and have a table called variables that overrides the former. Also, we can restart the app from itself and see log files live.

When people fall in blind, biblical love with a particular technology, rational perspective goes out the window. Further, groupthink is something to be feared for it's failure of a subtle kind. And, the vast majority of interview proc

Unless you're in SF, it's easier to find Pythonistas than Rubyists, hipster jokes notwithstanding. But the stats show the giant, kitchensink frameworks are pretty even in measurable terms, but Rails had about 5x individual committ

Bias: I'm mostly a Ruby dev, compile OpenSSL and Ruby from source. For greenfield apps, node has the advantage of being mostly the same language back- (node) and front-end (browser). Hence why Asana and others use it. Python is more p
