I don't know if we are referring to the same thing (excuse my Google+ ignorance), but I think Al Jazeera English uses these hangouts in their show The Stream.

Excellent work. I was wondering, do you process payments on behalf of the hotels or do you simply delegate to the hotel? I have seen you have a book room link there and I don't see a payment option. If you don't process, how do hotels confi

I have to agree with rms here. No X allowed is inherently anti-free software. In cases like this one has to think long term, as in how freer software can lead to freer societies, i.e. societies that escape government coercion. That itself

I wonder if this can be read hand in hand with Ruby Best Practices. After all Matz wrote the preface to this one so I have to give it a go.

Thanks. I was expecting somebody to mention this. What I am currently doing is investigating most of the code I use, be it methods, classes, and so on. It takes me off of the main task, but I think based on what you experienced its a good t

I would like to get some advice from experienced Ruby hackers. Currently I am picking up Ruby through rails, which I am assuming is fairly common. I want to know the downsides to this and what people did to supplement their ruby knowledge b

I have modified the important inbox section to show only starred email. (To be honest I consider all emails important, so I dont really need that feature). So when an incoming email has a task or needs further processing, I just star it and

Twitter moved to Scala, not Java. Java can be valuable if you really get into it, to a point where you begin to understand the internals of the JVM, because that is not going anywhere soon.

Education will lead to those things, certainly. And given its relatively short history (Independence in 71), I think Qatar is doing a remarkable job. A Moroccan friend of mine went to a WISE conference to present her education project (So

I agree with you. This trend in our field is really making me uncomfortable. Judge me on what I know and what I did before, no more, no less. Or, to make this even more futile, how about I ask the company to build a small app for me? Since

I think you are missing the point. The challenge is to design a set of hurdles that are equivalent to those faced by potential hires, not the exact ones. Of course you ought to know what your company asks for. Furthermore, I don't think

I agree, but I think in the case of Tolstoy, or even Dostoevsky, the best translations also have their copyrights expired, since they were written usually few years after the works were published. I read a French version of Anna Karenina (R

I have the kindle version and it looks fine. And why are they paying for copyright-free material? They can get a nice eBook version from Project Gutenberg.

So you are saying that hosting is what makes the difference between products like Basecamp and other enterprise software? I am genuinely interested in knowing the differences. Specifically, I want to know what makes up enterprise software.S

I also don't think this is because of new users or anything. This post is ranked 1 on http://news.ycombinator.com/classic , which supposedly only hosts links upvoted by users who joined HN in the first year.

I see your point there. I myself tolerate Eclipse on Ubuntu, where the UI surprisingly fits, at least for me. Its almost indistinguishable from other UIs, except maybe Spotify which is (IMO) way ahead of the rest. But I cant stand Eclipse o

I face similar issues at work but I don't think Eclipse's issue is Java, else you're saying that anything developed in Java will face a "boated" fate. Eclipse's problem is exactly what Chris mentioned in the article, ok on most things and a
