You specify a route in the nginx config, and when the route is requested, it serves up the result of the sql query that you specified. Even further, it looks like it will run different queries, depending on the type of request made (GET, P

Surprisingly, one of the best looking laptop designs I've seen in a while was one by Nokia, of all people. Unfortunately, it is a Netbook, and has all of the associated issues, and I have no idea about its linux support. But from a design

Worse that that, you have to be calling someone else with an iPhone, and you -both- have to be using wifi. Don't get me wrong, it is a step up from what they used to have available, but that is kind of a tall order for general consumption.

I can't believe that the demo isn't being run off of its own network. Seriously, if you can't get good reception inside, at least run your own dedicated wifi network. What were they thinking?

This seems like a case where they really ought to consider starting 'lean'. Initially buy a small house in an area densely populated by redditors and turn it into a coffee house or something where they can go to hang out. When you've gotte

So, I have a question. I thought that during the iPad release, Jobs said that the iPad was going to be an unlocked device, so it could be used on any network where you could get a mini-sim for it. Why haven't we seen this happen? If the

You might want to inquire with your payment processor, as I am sure they have an anti-fraud department/division who (presumably) would deal with this a lot more often than one of us here.

The test-tube shaped stage is a 'preform'. The shape might not be a huge problem, but it might not be trivial either. To blow the preform into the bottle's final shape, it is reheated, and then air is forced into the preform, causing it to

I like that you can just log in and get started. But having to send a link and/or email to add a person works against that. Why can't I add people just by name until I decide to roll it out, at which point I could send the link/email.

Transcription is still necessary, particularly in fields where accuracy is important, ie medical and legal. Automatic dictation just doesn't cut it quite yet. Most legal offices have their own internal talent, but a fair amount of medical

To me, the fundamental benefit of TDD is that it proves that the code is in the state I think it's in before I make a change, and it proves that the change I made did what I expect. I think this is the sort of statement that makes some of

No, grandparent poster was off on pricing, but his intent is correct. AWS is several times more expensive than the other 'lighter' VPS solutions out there, which is why is isn't brought up/suggested more often.

The closest competitor to Access is FileMaker Pro. But I don't see anything wrong with her using either excel or Access for the type of thing you are talking about. No need to overcomplicate.

Can I ask, do you subscribe to another service for the stats, and you then add the value of the interface/api, or do you do the stat collection/entry as well? Are there licensing issues involved?

But I think that is the point of this article. What you state is a valid way to handle things. 4-5 years in, you have a profitable company that needs grown out from 70mph to 90mph. But the trend is currently to start thinking about handi

Very well. See http://cs.gettysburg.edu/~tneller/resources/k12/index.html for a tutorial that demonstrates the use of the 'turtle' built in module in python. Turtle has a long history of being a simple graphical environment to introduce

I don't see that it is that much harder now. Boot your mac, open a terminal, type python, and start programming. Does it take one more step? Maybe, but it is a joke to say that is somehow more difficult.

We pay an hourly equivalent that is about 40-50% of what a starting full-time salary would be at the same position, and have never had problems with enough (quality) applicants. However: - We are in the midwest, without much competition.
