The best solution I have found is just to use Gmail filters (if you are using Gmail). I have about 20 emails a day that get labeled "useless" and are immediately archived or deleted... Plus: you can define pretty specific filters (incl. key

I tried doing this for a while, but it doesn't work in 90% of the cases (why is everybody re-inventing email validation!!).

Otherwise you can use Gmail filters to archive/delete emails from ex "*@convore.com" (every friggin day)...

Xcode devs consistently produce far more polished apps than Visual Studio devs What is that statement based on? It is an absurd idea. If "more polished" means better code then this statement is just not true. I just completed an in

Second that. Not having to click-look-back-etc really does save a huge amount of time! Although I have to say that I don't like the hover. I think it would be better if clicking enlarged the theme with the buy/demo/etc buttons on top.

I haven't researched this topic at all, but gut-feeling: it will be very hard. Here are the three scenarios: 1). A central listing of business exists that can be crawled for service/product, location and opening hours information. 2). All l

As a matter of fact Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz authors of "Power of Full Engagement" say that the idea of self-discipline (in the form of strong-will) does not lie at the base of productivity. Indeed they say that human being do not have n

I have been thinking about this exact strategy for a while. Like most programmers, I often get approached by "idea" people and I am thinking about telling people right away that they shouldn't even pitch unless they offer >= 50%... Like

I do understand the difference between engineering in the "real world" and the "software world". There is no doubt that the latter is immensely more complex (see Fred Brooks). Nonetheless, in cases where somebody may get hurt (physically, e

The number of comments supporting Dropbox in this thread astonish me. It seems like people think that such "engineering" mistakes are acceptable in the software/web industry. But let me ask you: What if a construction engineer made a little

Proof of that is the success of airlines like Ryan Air. The CEO (don't remember his name) said something like: people don't care about drinks and pretty stewardesses, they care about getting cheaply from A to B (even if it means shitty seat

Actually as you can see from the answer below. Omega can actually be eliminated from every equation and there are thus 4 variables, 4 equations -> solvable

So you search HN instead of: http://www.google.com/search?q=haskell+network+stack (both first and second result are about HaNS, the second being the page this post links to)

by o1iver 15y ago
I agree about it being different if there was a blog post describing it...
118.
by o1iver 15y ago
I really don't understand how HN works. Why is this post on the first page? I am currently using Haskell, and even for me this post is not very useful (I would search for a some kind of network stack lib when I need it)...

None of these quotes prove your point that the article is "at odds with the hacker ethic". They just prove that you should think (which is also hard work) about what to do instead of just doing whatever comes to you first. Why is that not h

I would be interested in some opinions about what the advantages are of using MongoDB (or any NoSQL solution for that matter) for storing logs. - Could it have something to do with the fact, that this is a rare case where almost certainly W
