As a counter point, I've been vegetarian (ovo-lacto) my whole life. My parents aren't crazy, they just decided they wanted to be vegetarian, and the logical consequence of that is that my siblings and I were raised the same way. I'm 6'1", ~

In a lot of systems, you can change the password without knowing the old one as long as you're logged in. Others, you can change the email address, only confirm on the new email address, and then get a password reset. So if you really cover

The thing that Firesheep brought to people's attention is that the login is not the only thing that needs to be SSL protected. The cookies you get after signing in are often sent in the clear, and that cookie is just as good as your login f

I agree. It seems likely that at least some of the people in the meeting might just be talking about things that would benefit them without fully realizing that the whole setup and the conversation they were having was actually collusion. U

Exactly; it just doesn't make sense for us to go to them and recruit. Of course, that doesn't mean we're going to ding them for having gone to MIT or Stanford if they come to us. We're a small company, so we need to focus our recruiting eff

The problem is, you don't know which 50 it is. I mean, we're talking about 22 year olds here, they probably don't even know. You end up having to "advertise" to all of them, which then leads to you interviewing some of them who are 90% sure

I completely agree with this. I'm also reading more, which in and of itself makes it worth having. I recently went on a trip to Europe, and the free 3G was invaluable, since we didn't always have a good source of internet. It's getting to t

Python has a lot of different options for web frameworks, so there's not really any void to be filled. You can go simple with web.py or flask, you can go full-featured with Django, or you can roll your own with something like Tornado, SQLAl

You missed one thing: They owe the community reasonable expectations of when new releases will drop. That doesn't mean they say a date and always hit it, it just means that they communicate that they are behind their original schedule, a ne

No one was demanding an immediate release. They were just asking for some form of communication. Their expectations were set for a release back in June. That date came and went without any information. A month and a half later, it takes som

I may be mistaken, but I don't think that he's talking about database schema migration, but that the VCS itself has a versioned database for any extra meta data that isn't really code, but should go along with it. Mercurial 1.6 added someth

It's still much cheaper, even if Redis can only use half the available memory. Backups are easy to ship off to S3. If you're on EC2, why not just spin up another instance for Redis at half the price?

Documentation is pretty much nonexistent. It looks like it could be interesting, but I can't even tell what sort of operations, data types, etc. are supported.
