Keeping everyone happy? I'm still looking for a way to properly handle Launchpad bug reports.

You should reverse-engineer your dates: "You really don't wanna go a date with me." Unfortunately it works. Problems will arise when your date will realize she really shouldn't have gone on a date with you.

That's a hell of a catchy title. How about "Twitter Finds Itself Between A Facebook And A Google, Deserves A Microsoft Fate But Will Finally Become Stronger Like Apple Did Or Face A Buyout Like Palm Has Been"?

Well. Guess what? I heard the Tumblr staff is very helpful. Drop them a mail and make sure to include a reference to this thread. Also, specify you want a dump of your data. I'm sure you'll receive a database dump shortly. I totally second

Imagine for example that on the Chrome home page, where sites you visit often appear, Chrome also was following the RSS of these sites in the background, and listing new news items for those sites on the home page, all without you having t

How are other <link> elements not specially treated? <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://ycombinator.com/news.css"> <link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://ycombinator.com/favicon.ico">

Agreed. I once wrote a Python script that would parse RSS feeds and write emails in a maildir (or whatever is supported by Python); one was then able to read news from an MUA which was comfortable (Mutt by then). I lost that script when I d

That's a very good point! I actually have no proof that they were the cause of the problem. I assumed it was them because it happened at the same time and I remember a news saying that Visa and MasterCard services were disrupted.

I like your emphasis! I will never ever tell my story enough of how I was in a really sad story in a developing country, badly in need of (a lot of) cash and ended up borrowing what is here several months worth salary from a local friend to

Sounds kind of familiar. I always read such write-ups with great respect and some sort of fear as I know how easily and quickly it can become 'wrong', so as to speak. Could you please be more specific with this though: The next step w

I spotted the Windows logo on what looks like a button too. With the announced specs, I wonder how long it will take on such a device before emptying the battery.

In Thai language, 5 is pronounced 'haa'. People use it in IM as a replacement for 'lol'; thus sentences are often suffixed with '555'. Today is obviously the funniest day ever. For the curious who want to hear it: http://www.thai-lang

I'm sorry to say that and also sorry for the careless wording but I'm rather unimpressed by the demonstration video. Drag-and-dropping tags to items seems rather unnatural and we can see messages in Slovenian. I couldn't see clearly if it w

I personally don't find it confusing. It actually made me eager to find out what are the plans. Once on the plans page, one first finds the 12$ a month plan and then the other, less expensive, plans which totally makes sense to me. Not conf

I think the most interesting aspect of Pocoo is the documentation and general code quality. Flask is definitely a large inspiration when documenting something. Also, I don't quite get the Op's point in "just" posting a link (although to fre

That's AFAIK the longest human-made palindrome but I'm sure there must be longer ones: http://everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=830538 I'd be glad to find longer ones!

In our case, the 'changes' would be installed on a customer's server in their office. But you're actually totally right. There's an interesting lawsuit (still ongoing AFAIK) involving Free, a French DSL provider. They distribute a router (t

+1 I should have made clear that by 'sane' I meant anybody who cared about the responsibility that comes with intellectual property. Can't find the reference, it turns out that by releasing something in the public domain you give way for pr

Believe it or not but BSD or GPL licensed code remains the copyright holder's property. If it didn't no licensing terms would be applicable and it would be called Public Domain. Proprietary Software as coined by the FSF is merely a language

Well, you wouldn't want to release anything into the public domain and I don't believe any sane developer ever has. As far as license violations are concerned, this is not a problem solely limited to the BSD as there are oh so many cases fo

What is also interesting (or is that scary?) is that some people reading HN can't tell a BSD license from a custom proprietary copyright notice.

I found flask's documentation quite well-written in this regard. For example, they provide insights at how to grow your application's structure in several ways: http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/becomingbig/ , http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/patter

Programming languages are about manipulating concepts. Give that Lua code to someone who doesn't have the necessary concepts (views, regexp-based routing, framework, dynamic websites, ...) and he'll be lost. This rant just shows that the mi

Right. Living in Thailand I recognize the kind of confused reasoning people are capable of here. I used to collect them too but there was just too much to keep up with.

Well, then a possible explanation is that people don't submit much projects to their website anymore and thus there are only "old" projects that are getting more and more mature and thus needing less commits. I couldn't find any figure to b
