Having recently started Django for a small gig, I have found searching for Django documentation, tips, and practices, to be extremely difficult and confusing, especially coming from the Rails world where blog posts seem a dime a dozen. I sp

When life gives you lemons make lemonade. 1. Apple rejected the cable. To those who say "just go USB", it was supposed to be a seamless product and that destroys aesthetics. Image is everything in product design.

Yes check out that or Blogspot. Their method of Draft->Preview in a lifecycle is more or less what people expect IMO, and also scheduling (you can schedule blog posts to be published at certain times).

"How to make a coursecraft course" course. This would be gold. Sidenote -- the draft -> publish mechanism is very unintuitive.

Yeah. When I referred "Dispute Center" above, all the messages took place inside Paypal's internal dipsute center messaging system.

The Paypal dispute system is a joke. I had a simliar experience with a $300 laptop. The condition it came in was NOT as described. I tried to get the seller to refund, but he just ignored my messages. Unable to contact the seller, I opened

I used VLC since I was a kid to watch my "backed-up" videos in the days where codecs were rampant and confusing. Now that I have some income, it feels good to give back. Here's to the next generation of VLC!

I don't think that should belong on the list. It's like adding the gem bootstrap-rails on your list.

I don't understand why you need to charge with pricing-per-transaction. This seems like something you'd pay monthly for, no? I'd be curious to know why you decided not to do a subscription plan.

I ~want~ to use Meteor on a large project, but they only are in Preview and in the FAQ states there will most likely be major API changes each [preview?] release, with no 1.0 release date in sight.

I've had a checkout script running for 10 minutes with no luck despite the site says they are in stock. Just running into errors. I'll probably let it run for another 20 minutes before giving up. This is unfortunate though as I was trying t

Lots of editorial issues, for example when describing C# and F# some of the information is incomplete/mixed. Too bad there is no comment section.

Nice implementation. For those not wanting to use a library you can achieve the same functionality by binding to the touchStart/touchMove events instead of 'click'.

Awesome! Was afraid something bad happened.

I wonder what happened to Bob. He isn't even a contributor.

by mrchess 14y ago
Agreed. You need to get this down to 30 seconds or a minute. It is way too long. I watched for like 20 seconds and had no idea what the hell was going on... didn't find out for a good 2 minutes. Nobody is going to watch it.

I don't think a tutorial would help. The feeling is similar is that of being thrown into Photoshop. Here's a couple initial thoughts after playing for 30 minutes: 1. Not sure what monitor size you are using, but the right menu blends with t

It's a cool piece of engineering, but feels feature bloated to me. I am genuinely confused with the interface. My only feedback would be to make it simpler by removing or hiding some of the advanced functionality. Shoving options in my face

Curious how you landed on the color scheme for the keys. Is that how you hear them? I just ask because I've always heard D as "red" and you had yours at red/orageish. Was wondering if it was just coincidence. EDIT: Scratch that. Just realiz

Cool article but I hope people don't start trying to follow this path. Ask yourself -- why did he stop?

Curious to understand why the two biggest projects are no longer maintained. Usually usage drives people to continue development, so can we assume nobody used their products? Filled out the survey.

by mrchess 14y ago
No doubt I agree as well. Best way to learn is by imitation. But yeah, it is just a concern, that's all.

Out of the box Rails solutions with integrated payment systems scares me as it allows people with little Rails experience to quickly allow payments. I'd parallel my concern to beginner developers who create Rails projects that don't check f

How does one write regular expressions for profit? Do you mean using regex's to filter datasets or do you actually sell regex's?

by mrchess 14y ago
There needs to be some sort of reward system for filtering out new. It would be great if they would reward 1/10th of a karma point up to a certain limit per day or something. It would be motivating!

Wow, after all this time I never realized there was no topic downvote. Thanks for the info.

Ask HN: What karma level unlocks the topic downvote button?

Who cares? How does this make it close to the front-page? I really wish I had a topic downvote button.

Nice to see they got their domain back.

Tent.is is the most confusing domain name, ever. Hurts my brain when I read anything. Feels like bad grammar. "Tent.is is the easiest..." Not to mention I have no idea what "Tent.is" actually IS after reading the extremely confusing blurb.
