Did you use Prismatic's Schema [1] at the time? It seems like that was developed for your exact problem/use-case. By the way; I don't think Rich makes fun of TDD, but of how little of TDD is left when you're working with

Really? I've found that it's easy as pie to find extremely highly skilled developers from my local Clojure meetup and get them interested at well below market salaries. I must admit that I was looking for a bootstrapping co-founde

Thanks for checking out my profile. If you'd dug a bit further you'd have found [1] that I am indeed a transgender [2] bisexual male. That means that unless I closet myself for YC, which I'm getting a bit old for, I'm li

It's a sad, sad state of affairs. Especially seeing the points for my comment cycle up and down as rapidly as they are. 12,4,7,4,7,1 so far :( After reading Sam's last two blog posts I just decided to reconsider and apply to YC a

Thank you HN for instantly voting this up to the top. A woman builds a big business from scratch and rather than wondering why it took so long for her to get funding we instantly latch on to a second-hand report that she might've had a

Because it's about not having a co-founder; not her marital status.

I'm not sure it's the same in Germany as in the Netherlands, but I'd recommend getting a good tax lawyer. Our tax company generally tends to lay down strong demands (which makes sense,) but becomes very lenient when it's

The current steps to switch provider are: 1. Order your card online 2. Wait 2-3 days for your SIM, sometimes a week if you're unlucky 3. Keep using your old SIM as long as it's registered to your current number. 4. On the day wher

The thing is that she never said the thoughts were reasonable; it's perfectly possible that she acknowledges she's a bit over-sensitive about it just like you might do something out of fear that you'll be thought of as incomp

Regardless of whether it's nature or nurture, women in at least Western culture are used to focussing much more on the subtle interpersonal dynamics of situations. It could be due to something as simple as hormonal differences creating

I rewrote this from a rather snide to a bit more neutral comment; but are you aware that just because you don't that doesn't mean that others don't? Or that even if all men really aren't observant enough, which is also

I was wondering whether someone would nitpick about that, but given the audience I should've known. It's the closest proxy we have though, especially given the subjective nature of corruption.

I just came here to basically say the same; which I guess is the question shared by 80% of Docker's target market. I have a box sitting somewhere which, like virtually any dedicated machine, is wildly overprovisioned for it's curr

I'm curious as to what compelled you to state that my estimate of the impact complaints had on the situation, even though entirely unquantified, was probably still too high? Regardless; I can confirm that many people complained about i

It seems that the flamewar detector (although I think it actually used to be flagging mostly) has been adjusted somewhat, or at least given a manual override for worthy discussions. I can reassure you that this thread would have quickly bee

He probably just asked what the straw was that broke the camel's back. They tend not to be all that huge, being straws and all.

Of course we do our fair share of this, even though I'm pretty sure there's still an order of magnitude difference, but that wasn't my point. My point was that the real story here is understanding is that we have someone with

That's still not what's relevant here. To make sense of the situation you have to put these pieces of the puzzle together: * Putin is the 'charismatic leader' of a military powerhouse in financial decline. * He has been

How do you handle travelling between devices though? I find it virtually impossible to function on IRC with the gaps in between from when I'm offline, but still haven't found a workable way to keep a persistent session going acros

Does it really? Could it not just as easily help Bitcoin to become a currency with real-world controls? I already remarked once that Bitcoin is remarkable democratic in a way; perhaps this is a good time to leverage that...

I'm reading PeopleWare right now which deals with this issue at length and their conclusion is quite similar to yours. In retrospect it's as simple as it's obvious: people should be allowed to setup their offices in a way tha

I think in this case it's actually relevant to mention age, because I'm more and more inclined to believe that while 60+ hours can be a good thing to do in your twenties, especially if your digital life is your social life, bu

The problem is that we haven't adopted the definition of consciousness that's useful long term yet: that consciousness is best interpreted as a property of reality. If everything is conscious then some parts of it are just more d
