Can't you just use Heroku to host your app for free? I'd imagine you're not getting a lot for 1 euro per month in terms of performance.

Is it the "norm" that, when accepted into the standard library, packages "die" - or is it because this has happened to some packages, the popular perception is that the standard library is where packages go to die. I&#x2

But the article does talk about cities. In fact, one part specifically targets cities 'as a vacuum' that sucks the life and quality of life from rural regions. If I can hazard to interpret what you mean - I think you are saying fo

I completely disagree with pundits that argue CBVs are way more complicated than function-based views. Three key differentiators for me are the reduction in redundancy with CBVs, consist organization of code and better code reuse through in

I think it's an interesting choice to go dark. Regardless of what prior debates were had on this thread with respect to the "flat design" choice / minimalism there are two things that stand out. 1) It's original. At

And for people who are still concerned (and even though this is mentioned directly in the post - some people won't necessarily read it). There is a theme provided, which I personally think improves on Bootstrap 2's version. http:

On the homepage, that there is a featured article as well as additional information to the right side a.k.a. more stuff to read reminds me a lot of the Mashable craziness. It's very hard to focus on content, reading left to right, when

I'm confused, as I thought that part of the reason why app.net pursued it's monthly payment ad-free business model was to ensure that it was sustainable while providing a non-intrusive service to users. The way that app.net did th

I'm not sure if this is script in jest or not - but on a serious note, is there anyone else that gets frustrated when these icons don't actually link to the featured pieces? I'm always curious as to how start-ups are actually

My favourite part about this resource is that it ties in a lot of the disparate resources that AngularJS newbies are first introduced to - but it puts them in perspective, provides context, and introduces parts of each where they are most r

You can just as easily program something like this with Django. One criticism that you may encounter with Django is that it's not as extensible or have as robust of a community. In terms of plugins, you'll need distinguish between

So, expectedly, we will hear a lot of criticism that Instagram is copying Vine. In some ways, it is - but with its own spin and one that I think will emphasize beauty in video, much like it has done with photos and whereas I see Vine person

This might be a black sheep type of question in a thread like this but here goes. Microsoft pursued a strategy that enabled people to make web apps in HTML5/Javascript as first class apps in Windows 8. Why is it not being adopted/praised as

Despite what others may say, on balance, there really isn't a good reason for this to be on top of HN. Also, it's important to recognize that the fundraisers have lost contact with those in custody of the video. It's likely that we may neve

I don't know about you but that seems to be an over-simplification. You can find some pretty strong trends from these stories and, while I'm not quick to derive value judgment, Steve did exhibit a distinct personality. It's not an accident

I think that the author is correct to an extent. One thing that Pinterest has done is set a precedent for successful design thats predominantly visual (images, videos, media). This improved the standard of either glossy buttons or text in g
