Your homepage is really confusing to me. The first thing I find is a logo which is a link... to the page I'm on. That's useless and confusing. Next the "Try Trendly Now" bar, which looks more like some kind of horizontal-rule style header t

Better advice: Don't input your email credentials into any site that isn't your email host. Simple.

Maybe it's just me, perhaps because I didn't understand a damn word in this article[1], but I've never attempted to implement any sort of cryptographic functionality myself. Occasionally I'll MD5 something for the sake of convenience, but i

beanstalkd ( http://xph.us/software/beanstalkd/ ) also has similarities to this, and for non-Django / simpler needs, it may be better. It's basically memcached repurposed into a queue server. A "task" would be equivalent to a script which o

Fair enough. Though I suppose my point was, recreational drug use is only illegal if you're caught, and it is incredibly difficult to be caught. The government doesn't really care if individuals do drugs, they just get pissed when people di

To be fair to the government, unless you're selling or holding a significant amount, you wouldn't go to jail. You most certainly wouldn't be put in jail for taking a few micrograms of LSD in the comfort of your own home (or office).

FWIW, I found Pragmata to be a solid investment; best console font I've used. http://www.fsd.it/fonts/pragma.htm

You're right. Though we're getting rid of that registration requirement anyway.

There's this place near us that sells $6 large pizzas. So by that metric, we are also pizza profitable. Can't afford the supreme, though! ;) Congrats, gents!

The comments on Youtube and 4chan have absolutely nothing in common. One is a group of people who recognize they're acting like idiotic jackasses and do it because they find it humorous. The other group is simply mentally retarded.

We're on a version way past 1... that has been the result for many years now. The second person on the Internet was probably a troll.

I can't completely buy it, only because I'm sure there are still companies or projects out there who need somebody with a decade's worth of low-level programming experience. Okay, maybe you can't make tons of money doing Rails CRUD apps b

Is it equivalent to say that I'd pay a fresh college grad who hasn't done anything but RoR 70% less ? Because I'd totally do that.

If the geezer with 10 years of C++ experience showed a capacity to rapidly learn a new language / framework, I'd hire him every time. Those 10 years of C++ experience taught a lot in terms of general understanding of programming, best pract

I hate to be the cynic in the room, but I kinda doubt I'll be alive by the time all this cool new HTML stuff becomes ubiquitous enough to warrant wide-spread adoption. I mean, come on, I'm still supporting IE 6. I was doing that a decade ag

Maybe this is just a result of being in the military and having my SSN on 10 trillion documents in various insecure facilities around the world, but I would give out my SSN way before my CC number. Especially in a chat application.

Maybe somebody should make the film. Because I already know all about it, and it is still ridiculous. But don't play it at 11. That's where news goes ;)

Recognize that its ok to live like a student. Don't just recognize it's ok , recognize it's pretty damn awesome . Including my car (which has been paid off for at least a year), I don't have $20,000 worth of possessions, period. And tha

Great work guys, the new site is really cool! Even if it is quite sluggish and throwing 503s at the moment ;) If I've learned anything the past year its user generated content + social stickiness = winner. We're going to try moving a little

Nobody else has even once reviewed my code. So I just assume it all sucks.

It has always enraged and perplexed me that instead of a better deal, returning customers get the worst possible deal when it comes to wireless service. I get it: you sell the phone cheaper to get people roped into contracts that they h

Basically, you should be able to take constructive criticism and not defend your work based on anything other than objective correctness. You shouldn't get upset with someone who says "your code sucks," you should ask them "why?"

Another good reason to always use trunk! This has been around for a little while, though.

It seems like a good image to me. What should life be if not a string of uncertain journeys? I'd be more worried if I knew where I was going.

Well, some of you geniuses decided to not even use A/C, which was completely nuts. Once ours were acquired, things were rather comfortable... so long as you didn't leave the room with 2 units in the windows!

No, and I'm not even from a non-name-brand college. I am confident in my abilities and seem to be adequately respected among my peers who know me. That's good enough for me.

I often wonder that myself. I have a feeling my life would have been more balanced, at the expense of less work being accomplished in the short term. Much "hanging out" goes on there ;)

Buy lots of tickets through us; I will convince them it is in their best interest ;)

by tdavis 17y ago
The problem with that is most tickets won't get to you that day unless you pick them up, and most sites stop selling them a ways before the event just to avoid issues where you don't receive them. Maybe "Where can I go this weekend for $X"?
