Am I the only one who doesn't mind the blue/orange gradient? I don't get why everyone is going mental about it (this article and many like it have popped up frequently over the last few years). The article itself isn't even worth reading, f

Basically each step in your form is a state in the state machine. When a user submits one step, you move the state machine to the next state. You can add conditionals for when to skip a step, and you can specify validations for each step th

I discovered how state machines can be practical when checking the source code of Spree, the rails e-commerce engine. The checkout-process is a state machine. I'd highly recommend using state machines for multi-step forms. It feels very nat

A good concept, I hope their execution will be excellent and they have some marketing skills, because the latter is what will be hardest in this sector. Everyone can make a single sign-on platform with benefits, but getting those customers

I like to believe this would be less than 1%. Medicine is science, and I hope while designing modern CPR guidelines they did tests to see if pursuing CPR even while all signs suggest death, for long periods of time, would revive more people

Interesting observation: the permalink swaps "changed" with "is changing".

This article is bullshit. I'm sorry but it really, truly is. I've noticed a trend here on HN that more and more of these inane articles are appearing, labelling some group and then stereotypically applying properties to the people in them.

It's really pretty abysmal. I, too, have an MBP. There's 2GB free RAM left, and browsing is basically all I do, yet it feels continually sluggish. Makes you think you're using a netbook ;-)

Awesome that you're on here! Garage48 was already on top of my "Tallin To Do" list for once I'm there :) I'll probably see you around then.

You're the first guy I read who addresses negative points of Tallinn, thanks! I knew about the snow, but not about the derelict state of some of the surroundings. However, isn't it normal for a reasonably large city to have vandalized parts

I was looking into moving to Tallinn as an expat. This just sealed the deal. Any Estonian hackers on here?

Too bad they only hire US citizens due to governmental export regulations.

I don't think it's a good idea to advice newbies to learn the hardcore way. I'm exactly like you, started with PHP, had to do everything manually, etc... except I have a different opinion. The reason you and I and all the others like us put

You could try also marketing it to Freelancers who need to develop an EC2 app for a client. This way the client can easily provide the freelancer with a development box for a week or a month.

I'm not sure how this would be practical in any way. They're only hiding the effects of the body moving through fluids, not the effects of what's moving the body in the first place. In the case of submarines, the only way to create propulsi

I think it has little to do with unemployment on the long term. Humanity has been "automating" jobs since the invention of the steam machine. Some might say even further: since the invention of the horse and carriage, since the invention of

Does anyone know what company they use to print, perforate and deliver the postcards?

You're looking at it in the wrong way. It's very easy to get started, but it's sort of "difficult" to get your head around how everything works, and where some of the "magic" comes from. If you don't want to understand it, you can be on you

If only more people were willing. I'm 100% positive that most current ad-based free content providers would like nothing more than to charge for their content and get rid of the ads.

Check Tropo.com. It accepts customers from outside the US and international SMS's are 2 cents a piece. Not all operators are supported, though. E.g. there is one operator in Belgium Tropo doesn't send to. Your mileage may vary (Germany will

I always wondered if people at the time thought it was a good idea or not, because with hindsight, to me it doesn't sound like a good idea. In Founders at Work you can read how the web-part was an afterthought, quickly thrown together, but
