As HarryHirsch says, no he absolutely does not have that right. Zoning is far from a new invention, it's been around since the industrial revolution at least. I'm honestly shocked that people apparently would want to live in the kind of an

You cannot be serious. Just because you happen to own the property does not give you absolute rights. What you are arguing against is called zoning and the legality of that is very well settled. The tannery example is pretty apt here - wh

That's something I've often puzzled over as well. I've came to the conclusion that a business is made up of individuals, and individuals like to live in nice places. Nice places are often kept that way by means of regulation - Regulation

It's my understanding that they can do so if they identify as a navigation app. It's hit-or-miss as to whether that will pass scrutiny by the app store reviewer though.

How's that working out for you? I've written a similar (open-source) app called Remindly ( https://github.com/nathanstitt/remindly ) that uses region monitoring to fire alarms. I've found it's region monitoring accuracy to be horrid - eithe

Or perhaps the seemingly incompetent people really aren't, and you just can't judge them well enough. I see this happen quite a bit - someone derides company X because they are still using asp or php. What they're missing is that company X

Weird, I just tested it successfully under both FF 20 & Chrome 26.0.1410.43 (on os x). I've also used that technique in production code (but not with a list that large) and haven't had any problems with it thus far.

If document reflow is an issue (which it certainly is for a large collection like the example), why not just render all the subview's el all at once: http://jsfiddle.net/HbzbS/ I'd be interested in how this method bencharks relative to t

I can because I just found that very useful. Think of code that has an error in an window.onbeforeunload handler. By the time the console displays the error the page has switched. Without being able to view the errors from the previous p

I believe they mean unrestricted as in not behind a firewall. Heroku still requires authentication, but doesn't filter access by ip. If someone wanted to they could port-scan all of Heroku's (and really Amazon) internal network and find qu

Something I haven't seen anyone mention in these threads is that KDE is an open source project - therefore they have hundreds (if not thousands) of backups. Even if all the official repos where destroyed, all they'd have to do is ask the la

What? Wow, I actually emailed on the 9th. Received a very prompt and polite reply from "Thairu" (no last name in the email) who apologized and said you guys were working on it but didn't know when it would be out. I'd actually offered to

After re-reading the post, Parse doesn't actually mention shipping. Therefore they may be meaning that it's intended only for using face-to-face. But to me that's not e-commerce, it's retail.

Sorry, but stripe is not suitable for e-commerce at this time due to it lacking pre-authorization support. https://support.stripe.com/questions/can-i-reserve-an-amount... I've emailed them personally to confirm they lack pre-authorizatio

This is a perfect example of where it is absolutely necessary to consult an attorney before starting a business, or expanding into offering new services. Everyone complains about having to pay attorney fees, but in this case it would have s

Heh.. right after I posted that comment, my thought was: 'you know - the correct answer here would have been to make an Uber command that would suck all the configs in and install them'. Thanks for giving me the push to do so. I think I'l

Thanks for the suggestion. I used to have a very customized .bashrc with nice little things like that, but have decided to stick with standard stuff for things that work off of muscle memory. I got tired of sshing into a new box and half t

I use it primarily with ExtJS and backbone. What I've done with mozrepl is inject some global javascript, then call methods off it over the network link, so for instance I have a reloadModel method that will remove the model's definition (

An additional point on (2). One thing Firebug does right that neither chrome nor the built in tools does is show a decoded version of the JSON for both the send and receive sides of a connection. I love being able to click the request in

Embed mozrepl https://github.com/bard/mozrepl/wiki or something simular. I'd like network based access (restricted to a socket or localhost by default) to the innards of the browser. Mozrepl works, but has proven fragile. I've had to

I do see where you're coming from, and agree it sucks that they've went backward in quality in this case. To my mind those are implementation details that Apple screwed up. It doesn't invalidate the basic idea though, which is to move the

I agree 100%. Software is eating the world, so I'm not sure why everyone is so against this. Maybe it's a case of I didn't complain when they came for my DEC Alpha server with green screen, nor when they took away my Token Ring network, bu

A good point. I think you're correct in what the article's focus is and I way oversimplified what it actually does. To take the reasoning a bit further - what the program is really doing is finding examples of the behavior they want to enco

Or that existing members of a community have more influence on the community in question than outsiders do. Shocking no? I think anyone who's ever done any kind of training or system implementation figures this out very quickly. The first

Sorry if I gave that impression! What I meant to refer to was that you can insert them somewhere in a loop and then disable it once the loops ran a few times rather than having to press continue (potentially) several hundred times.

Actually the firebug add-on for Firefox does allow you to disable the 'debugger' statement at runtime, making it safe to insert anywhere in your code. Other than that, good tip.

I fail to see how anyone can create a repeatable objective benchmark between different VPS providers. I respect the fact that the author tried hard and didn't bias the results, but I fail to see where he even repeated the benchmark over a n

Good points. An additional one I've found useful is an enthusiasm meter. How you define that will be application dependent but I always aim to be fairly stringent. For a forum, something like, "Number of users that make at least 3 posts pe

I like the backhanded comment jwz pays Perl in the comments. To paraphrase: “Perl; it’s not as bad as sed.” Could really apply to everything. “Php; It's not as bad as Perl” ( maybe ). “Java; It's not as bad as C++”, etc. Thinkgeek, are
