My only advice, to all programmers, is to print the following and stick it in a place where you can see it everyday: “There are only two hard problems in Computer Science: cache invalidation and naming things.” – Phil Karlton The variant me

Meh. The term 'Project' embodies much much more than just 'code'. A Project is made of its many components: team, community, bug trackers, documentation, resources, news feed and code (I've certainly omitted several other things). Only afte

I think that's exactly what the op meant. In other words, changing the appearance of the website won't improve its content and, I agree with him, it definitely should improve.

My experience with Gandi is quite different. I always received timely responses to my emails and I'd say their service was always in line with their "No bullshit" punchline. For more on this, read http://www.gandi.net/no-bullshit I've bee

I might be a little old school but I wouldn't seriously let a complicated system take care of schema migrations for me. Well, actually I do (in a system unrelated to Rails or Flask) and it's a mess. For my current side-project, I'm actually

It pretty much depends on the country. In Italy for example, people love to use cash (it's cultural) whereas in France people tend to use Credit Cards mostly now (it's a recent trend). In most less developed countries, Cash is still the kin

You actually got me to realize how natural it is for me to sort my bank notes. I also put older notes on the top of the stack so that they get out of it first.

This implies actually knowing Braille. Even in very developed countries, not all blind or visually deficient people know Braille. Arguably, they should be pushed toward Braille rather than left in a "comfort" zone.

Let's put it another way. What you said really upset me and I'm just totally against that kind of statement/behaviour. I'm advocating some well-thought-out censorship in that case. Those things just depend on which side of the fence you sta

Why the downvotes? He was just RTFM-ing me, which is fine as he's got a point. "A woman can only act as a wet-nurse if she is lactating. It was once believed that a wet-nurse must have recently undergone childbirth. This is not necessarily

> The first stage in understanding complexity is invariably "messing" with it. Agreed. Shall we mess with it in a closed environment or in our stores? Put another way, the human race has just built its first whip, do we let all humans b

For the record, Dolly was "born" in 1996. How about a good old: there are things we don't fully understand yet, let's debug some more? Dolly also died in 2003. From the Wikipedia page (take it for what it is): On 14 February 2003, Dolly was

How so? To get milk, you need a (mostly) fully-carried pregnancy AND get the resulting baby not to consume the said milk. As far as cows are concerned, it's all-right as we eat veal meat but what are we going to do with human babies? I agre

I have only one thing to say: if companies were taking the necessary steps to protect their customers and treat them as if they actually mattered there wouldn't be any problem. And I'll remind everybody that we are dealing with SQL injectio

Manning is a totally different story that doesn't even fall the same branch of law. Plus state security in the US is somewhat touchy I hear. They're kids, they're gonna be all-right.

One thing I've learnt is that there is always room for negotiation. Call the other business owner and come up with a time-frame to rebrand your company. Get him to agree with that time-frame and move on. That way you could use the remaining

There's a list of papers published on his page: http://cristal.inria.fr/~xleroy/ I keep this link in a feel-good folder, next to Bellard's page. Sometimes I need a feel-good break after reading US-centric news.

Get a VPS and you'll actually save a few bucks (no hardware, cheaper Comcast subscription). Run tail in screen. I think there's a Nodejs app on github that let you see in real time who's accessing your box and from where (it's an interactiv

Given that Anonymous are widely (but not exclusively) after fame, I wouldn't be that quick to attribute this act to them even though there are large similarities. In all honesty, all this is doing is challenging people who elect governments

So you sign an acquisition deal without discussing what "lies ahead"? I guess a "We can't give much details for now, ..." would be sufficient.
