Agreed, I love the diversity which is why I continue reading HN. I like a good balance of topics, keeps things interesting (and more importantly, continues to get me interested in other subjects / topics).

Author here. I completely agree with you that those are real problems. I have a great wife (and sisters) who have experienced varying levels of sexism in the technical world as well, and it really bothers me. I didn't mean in my article tha

This actually looks really great. I do find it a bit interesting that the colorscheme is also roughly the same as what Hacker News itself uses.

The misleading documentation that started all the controversy was about Heroku's legacy Bamboo stack, not the new Cedar stack. The Cedar stack (which Heroku has been encouraging people to use for a long while now) has always claimed to do r

I need a full VPN service. I travel a lot, and it would be nice to have fully encrypted point-to-point connections for working, etc. Something that will work with videos, bittorrent, and for general web browsing, I suppose. Thank you for th

I have a DX (older model), and a new Paperwhite (which I really like). It has better battery life, backlighting, and etc. I still read technical books in paper, but I read business / personal development books primarily on the kindle.

For me, there are two things that immediately stand out: An Amazon Kindle, and a subscription to Audible.com. When I bought a Kindle, I really did so on a whim (they're cheap!), but they're actually incredibly awesome devices. Ever since I'

I've got some good recommendations. I'm really into motivational type stuff as well, I'm sort of a personal development freak. Here are my favorites: http://sebastianmarshall.com/ - Sebastian is my favorite writer. He generally discusses

Oh yah, this would definitely not be ideal for something like that. In regards to the schema stuff, however, we don't touch any user data at all. I've actually added a section to the bottom of our website: http://www.postgression.com/ whi

I always use a remote db for developing my site locally (eg: Heroku PostgreSQL). On my laptop I typically install my libraries (in a Python virtualenv), and do coding.

Should probably redo the slogan. It kinda rhymed so we picked it, but it obviously isn't that accurate :) A better slogan might be 'Testing Database as a Service' or something like that.

Hey all, so I'm one of the authors of postgression. The website isn't totally clear as to all the reasons why this may be useful. I've written a blog post about it, which you may also find helpful if you're interested: http://rdegges.com/p

Hi Titanous, you're definitely right--the focus of postgression isn't speed, just convenience. Installing a database server locally to run unit tests is something that has always annoyed me. 99.99% of the time when I'm testing things, I'm a

Definitely! Postgres.app is awesome, but this is kinda targeting a difference use case (I'm one of the postgression authors). This is really meant so that you don't need to run PostgreSQL at all locally. It adds a small bit of overhead, but

Hi there, so I'm one of the dudes that built this. Just saw in on HN, so figured I'd respond. We built this to combat the pain of testing in multiple locations. Sure, it adds an extra second to the start of each test run, and sure, you have

So, full disclaimer: I was one of the editors of this book. This is a really great 'best practices' book for Django developers of all skill levels. In the Django community, there are a variety of practices that people tend to use: webapp st
