It's both. You need to personally believe it's important for it to stick, and you have to train yourself to keep it in mind. It has to become like a demanding girlfriend you have to remember to txt or call. You can't dump her because she's

My point is that there are more positive ways to make two than by destroying one. If Google is just interested in getting publicity for the cr-48 they might as well join Cheerios on Days of Our Lives.

What was that Google mantra again? Evil has many shades of grey but wasting a computer that could literally educate an entire schoolhouse in Africa and keeping this old, stupid joke going must be somewhere south of good.

The thing that makes me doubt this is that Tron Legacy isn't a reboot, it's a full blown sequel.

Ignoring all the social benefits of institutionalized learning, the structure really hasn't been challenged by any other offering. I think to make individual or even group learning explode online you need a new structure that doesn't exist

My VPS is $6 a month for great stats and limits, but I'd still hit Heroku on the free to get rolling and worry about scale later. If you build something successful, migration shouldn't be a huge pain.

I don't see it. Disney has never let embarassment get in the way of money before, unless... Is it racist?

You could get a VPS and run a streaming app. There are lots of free apps and my VPS costs me $4 a month, with more storage, speed and bandwidth than you need for that.

1 for Firebug. I learned by going to the most complex sites I could find and turning things off. Then I changed things, and finally added. Once you've done that you're too far on your way to need further advice.

That's a great story and a good strategy, which you pulled off admirably. Reading that, I don't think you should pull a 180 once you get to Philly. I hear what you're saying about your distaste for the 'lone wolf coder' role but you can use

Nothing chan is ever safe. Chan means fired (unless you work at a chan).

What's it going to cost you to host this thing if it replaces 4chan?

I really hate the 'everyone needs Photoshop' argument but in reality if you're using it for a startup to edit some buttons and close crop some photos it's 'less wrong' than actually using it as your primary tool for making money. Photograph

What do they need Photoshop for? Is it a photography studio startup? I haven't seen any of those.

This is the same as any moral argument, whereby you advise someone not to intervene in a situation where they could help, because of a possible danger. There is right, and then there is smart. It's difficult to say that action would be noti

I think the root of the problem is very much the attitude that people need Photoshop and Illustrator for any startup that isn't a professional photography studio or a professional design agency. That calibre of software is completely overki

Thanks, the 'Facebook was written in PHP' is probably the best argument for PHP there is. It makes a lot of sense. As for ambitions, I don't see an investment need any time soon but the FB and mobile apps are where the real user base (and m

Pardon my ignorance, but Rails and Django seem pretty lightweight as they are... How are sinatra etc lighter (and thus easier to use somehow)?

I disagree about the blog similarity. I'd really like it to be a one page app to start. Emphasis on app. The idea is not to compile a blog full of images but to compare and play with the idea of comparison in a quick, addictive way. A blog

Agreed, I know the 'which framework?' discussion is a slippery and horrible slope, so I'd like to avoid that and focus on getting to point B. It looks like my best bet for ease/flexibility/help is Drupal, but I may see how far I get with Dj

Thanks, I'm comfortable with LAMP and LEMP so MySQL would definitely be my choice for db. I think I'd have the most drive to work with Django, personally, I find it pretty exciting from what I hear - and the little code I've done in Python

Yeah that seems like a good option for the PHP route... Anyone second that? Is it reasonably to think that a good PHP dev could work well with Drupal?

Ask HN: Wordpress, custom PHP or Rails/Django for a simple Web app?

I think dbslayer would be perfect for this. Mysql is super easy to set up on a vps (there are lots of scripts to set up the whole server on sites like lowendbox or vpsbible) and then with dbslayer you get json and clustering if you want it

I would say the appeal of Iron Man in that sense is the montage effect. I love montage sequences in movies, and movies that use them right are totally energizing. There's nothing like seeing the trip from obscurity to success without coffee

I don't think Scarface is a strange choice for the same reason I like the fraud trilogy. Stories of meteoric success followed by tragic failure are hella inspiring, because you get to see where they went wrong. So while your watching your b
