I'd suggest keeping in mind that TodoMVC hides how well the different frameworks perform with more complex (nested / inter-dependent) models though.

I thought blogspam included rewrapping an existing article in a blog post without adding any additional commentary / value.

You just need to research, pick up the phone or email and negotiate. Even squatters know the relative value of domains fairly well and you'd be surprised how many names are held by someone who doesn't even remember he owns them.

You, my friend, seem to be having mental health issues. We have an excellent support system for that in the Netherlands if you're interested...

And we also have a classic entrepreneurs visa, for which you'll be evaluated on education, experience and the innovativity & financial position of the company. If you're a solid startup that should be fairly easy to pass, but it's not a

Also, if you're Dutch, entrepreneurial and working in IT you will usually be a freelancer. That means that you get to deduct expenses on working equipments, business lunches, hosting, travel costs, etc. On top of that if you're in an innova

If you take into account the 30% expat tax discount (which you should make sure you get at all costs) then here it's about 4 to 6k per month with take home of between 3k and 4.5k and a similar 1 bedroom apartment would be around 900 to 1200

That sounds very similar to here; although here learning the language usually starts closer to the 4 or 5 year mark. Once again I'm forgetting Denmark as 'the other country that is so much like ours.'

Just for the record, I was being facetious. My apologies if I misjudged the freshness of the wound.

Seeing that your from Copenhagen; how is the expat community there? Here it feels very thriving, lively and well-functioning, but quite insular because on the one hand we make it so easy to get by with English alone but on the other hand

Isn't Dublin a part of England though? ;) But good catch... I meant countries where English is not already the native language.

Apart from London Amsterdam is probably the city where you can get by most easily speaking only English. It will be hard to fully integrate into Dutch social life without learning proper Dutch of course, but professionally it will not be mu

It's not really fair to call this an OAuth flaw, since it's just another instance of the 'trusted client' problem in security. Essentially it's impossible to differentiate Twitter's own client on an untrusted platform since it will always b

The app could also just download the latest extracted keys from your server when it experiences an authentication failure.

From what I know most apps directly wrote to your Dropbox via their API, so not to the local file system first. That meant you either had to be always online, or you had to write your own caching & syncing mechanism.

Just to be clear, I didn't read the book. I even just skimmed the original post. I was just responding to the parent comment and it's claim about the sketchiness of (the definition of) consciousness. Perhaps I should read Kurzweil once even

by mtrimpe 14y ago
I can tell that the full gist of what I'm trying to explain will be hard to do in an HN comment, but for simplicity's sake let's just say that I'm defining consciousness as a scale which includes "my first backprop neural net 101" (and yo

My point is more that computers are already conscious, but that we're constantly redefining our definition of consciousness to exclude it. From a philosophical perspective it's saying that consciousness is a property of reality rather than

I'd say you're witnessing the rise of what seems to be WooThemes for iOS and calling it useless. It's probably not for you, but I would be surprised if this isn't highly valuable to a lot of people.

by mtrimpe 14y ago
I couldn't agree more. It seems that whenever computers become able to do something that we previously used to define consciousness, we just create a new definition of what it means to be human/conscious that doesn't include that new capabi

I'd also make the identifiers non-guessable. I'm having quite a nice conversation with kokpo at the moment but I don't think he meant to invite me ;)

Exactly. It's essentially as close as you can (legibly) get to an Option/Maybe monad in Java.

We could always say that you shouldn't use return statements for control flow to complicate things further. ;) Your code doesn't preserve information about what caused the failure though. And also, I actually did magically reduce lines of

I think it all depends on context. I use checked exceptions for handling edge cases in Java, which turns something like this: public Session startByInterviewId(Long interviewId, String email, String name) { Session session;

Sorry to take it off-topic, but I've never understood how you're supposed to customize your pages based on a synchronous call to a third party API though. From what I can see it add quite a lot of latency and introduce a single point of fai

When I first saw DropTask I thought it would allow you to take multiple perspectives and have a grouping per perspective, like urgency, compononent, assignee, customer value, etc., etc. I've been looking for that for ages and was so disappo
