Nicely done!

This is beautifully designed, and I think you ought to raise the price. Lots of comments about the potential support headaches are spot-on; price as many of those out as you can. Check out patio11's online talks for more rational.

I believe the original quote to that effect was by Robert Hare and the basic premise of it is that if any part of you worries you might be psychopathic, you're probably not psychopathic enough to worry about it. The worryingly psychopathic

Adult-induced fear should not be a reason for stifling childhood-inate curiosity. I remember as a kid we were extremely good at taking apart fireworks, putting them into other objects, and blowing those things up. Was that a good idea? Well

There's a lot of development talent and ambition in Vancouver, and a healthy chunk of it not at all related to the video game or movie industry; there are quite a number of legitimate start-ups going on, most of them seemingly located down

As you note the article does really a very poor job examining that connection. Interestingly, your assumption differed a bit from mine. My assumption about that line was this: the availability of drugs for depression, and thus likely drug r

Thanks for that simplified explanation. As someone not familiar with Python and Pypy I was having a tough time getting past the "Ruby on Python is efficient?" block; the analogy to LLVM is helpful indeed.

Money. Lots and lots of money.

Then it will be built, released by the secretive party, and promptly copied post-hoc. If something is simple enough to be knocked off easily, "when" it happens is largely irrelevant.

More likely the result of millions of Rails site owners crying out in terror... pulling and then committing updates. I fear something terrible has happened.

This isn't about languages; what the language gives the language can take away. This is about diligence, responsiveness, and transparency. Rails will always have zero-day security issues; I'd hazard that all web apps of any notable size wil

That's exactly what you need to do. You're safe.

Excellent points. Personally I find early detail obsession to a be a red flag about my own behaviour. As a developer when I notice myself re-tweaking about what shade of green to use, what perfect image to put in place, or what pixel size o

Interesting. In the last two years my mother hasn't sent an email on anything but an iPad, and my dad does it entirely via his iPhone. Perhaps they're just unusual that way.

None of those examples actually answer his question, they just belittle it a bit, but the original question, and in fact all of those, are very valid. I suspect the current hype about the Nest is due to two reasons: 1) Apple people made it,

I think it's generally accepted that yes, they knew where their investment was going. It would have been incumbent on an IPO, in which scenario they then hand off their stake in the company to the public with the expectation of making first

I'm curious: why the editorializing in the title of this submission? It seems to me the original CNN title is perfectly sound.

The tragedy is that it could all have been averted by numbering the 2.5 release as 3.0. From the comments on her original blog post my impression is that most complainers don't seem to understand that version numbers are arbitrarily defined

Your comment seems to assume that this is a permanent state and won't be rectified by Apple. That's a bit like saying "what's the point of writing any unit tests if some bugs are going to exist anyhow?" I see no loss of reliance on the guid

Indeed we did. My comment is more a remark on the sensational tone of the headline, which I read as implying by the author a deliberate intent on Apple's part. I find the article disingenuous in that, since it does, as you note, leave the s

What's more likely here? That there's a nefarious plot inside Apple to let some developers use forbidden functionality hoping no one else notices the double standard, or that a human app reviewer missed this and it slipped through? I invoke

Another observation about the site: it's very Facebook-unfriendly at the moment. Try sharing the URL on Facebook and you'll see that the site lacks any text or images that FB can readily pick up for display and thus only your URL is display

The author of the original post here. I think in effect you're both right. As a result of HN picking this up I've received a few more feature requests and votes for route areas today, all of them thoroughly pleasant and supportive. And I no

Well, no. To know that we'd have to find it to act as proof. What this finding does is expand the bounds of the environments in which searching for life is viable. In other words, we can now consider other temperature ranges and chemical so

Fair point. Agreed.

She's effectively written a long-winded excuse in the guide of an apology while making thinly-veiled attempts to blame the original author for her ensuing misfortune. At the same time she deftly manages to not mention the numerous other co

I suspect they publish it because the readership demographic of the Economist likely correlates highly to people in an economic position to buy vintage cars. They're just catering to their readership.

>> 'how could I be so stupid?!' This reaction, or something similar, is very telling. I'd hazard a guess that having that response is indicative that you in fact do have the right mindset to be a programmer. I'd be more worried abou
