This is certainly interesting, but this title couldn't be more hyperbolic link-bait if it tried, especially since content has nothing to do with "the end of web development as we know it."

I suspect the author doesn't live in the US, as a few of his points don't apply to US non-profit law. In particular: "A charity (except in special circumstances) cannot pay a salary to anyone. Typically everyone who works for

Hmm, $10M/year seems a bit off. This ( http://www.ssireview.org/articles/entry/how_nonprofits_get_r... ) says the figure is $50M/year in revenue.

I guess this is where I'm confused. Isn't this the same as using the '-e' switch inside of a requirements.txt?

You refer to dependency_links as a "misfeature," but I'm wondering why?

Is there any way to add the release notes via a git commit? This is very nice, but it introduces further dependence on GitHub if something like that isn't possible. I suppose as long as there's API access someone could / wi

Complete linkbait title, a HN mod should change this. Typical of the Register. It's worthwhile to read the actual post: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1228 On the subject, I started to hear a lot of criticism of Canonical's Ubu

I develop a new, serious, widely-used platform and I love Django. I've definitely been around the block, have developed python-based web apps without frameworks, etc. I've never had an issue with Django being inflexible. The strong conven

Hmm, but once they hit master they will be back-dated as contributions for that time period?

Very cool! I used calendaraboutnothing /extensively/ - it was a hugely important motivational tool for me. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this counts contributions to non-master branches? I work mostly in branches and my calenderabou

Yeah, I'm saving tags and all the other metadata like location in the DB. It's exposed via the API right now. It'll get added in to the UI sometime next week, hopefully.

by philipn 14y ago
Yeah, very good point. I'll add that in next. I just went with a simple date range because I wasn't sure how many API calls were really allowed -- it isn't clear if it's 5000 per-client per-day, or 5000 per-token per-day.

It's a hack because Instagram doesn't give you an option to license under CC in their interface, and it's doubtful they will, now that they're owned by FB. CC licensing on Flickr has had a huge impact on the free culture movement, and it'd
