Ask HN: MarriageLaughs.com

I threw together a small site for people to submit funny/odd/interesting stories about their married life.

I could use some stories and some suggestions on improving the site.

Thanks
More atheists per capita.
My experience is that working conditions are very related to quality. For example, a messy factory is both hazardous and a sign of lack of discipline.

Labor in China is quickly rising in cost, and poor working conditions are being punished in the marketplace. It is not always easy to get more labor, and when you can get it, it's more demanding (shorter work hours, nicer atmosphere, less stressful, etc).

So while reasonable working conditions are a must from an ethical perspective, they are also necessary for purely business reasons.
Not having so much free time is certainly a problem. No more hacking away for the whole day/evening/night. Nowadays I'm lucky if I get a straight 2 hours. The one good thing about this (aside for my beautiful daughter of course) is that it's made me knuckle down and focus on goals. Knowing that I've only got one hour to get a particular task done is a great motivator.
First off, I love the idea, though I would extend it beyond married life to Relationship laughs, or even just "sharing space" or some such. Just stories about trying to live together and be together with people.

It's a solid implementation, though the design is nothing spectacular, it's not an eye sore either and does the job. The one thing I would suggest is allowing comments - but using a solid moderation hand.

One question though, will you allow stories of a non-pg nature?
No, he did the backend designs.

Thanks for your offer!

Currently I do not really have a CV anymore, I link to my linkedin or make a dump of my linkedin to doc/pdf.

What do you think of this practice?

Anyone else who has opinions on "moving the CV to linkedin"?
What would you be willing to pay and what would you expect to get out of it ?

I think a big problem is that the return varies a lot, some people have absolutely awful CVs and some people have great CVs. If you're charging a flat-rate for CV reviews then some people will obviously get far more value out of it than others. If you charge variable-rate that's likely to put off customers who want to know upfront how much something will cost.
Yes. This article seem to confuse TDD vs having tests. It's talking about having tests, but referring to TDD. You can have a solid set of unit tests even if you didn't doing TDD.
Middle School Research Paper writing wills Train Your Writing Skills
Research paper writing is assigned to students from as early as middle school. The writing they learn in middle school will make the tasks assigned in high school and college easier. By beginning to write research papers at this early age, they will be able to improve their writing skills.
I have used DNSMadeeasy and Zerigo but I have since switched to using the services my registrar provides (though I still use Zerigo for Heroku sites.)
Well, yeah, but this isn't all that simple. It just seems simple.

Having babies has brought more substance to our lives. We have 3 girls under the age of six and I am approaching 40. I wish we had them when we were younger if anything. Its difficult getting time to do everything.. full time job, spending time with family, hacking, starting up, etc. My girls are fantastic company and make me laugh constantly, and give me much love, They can take any stresses away in an instant. They can also add to my stresses when they are being 'challenging' young humans. They inspire me to do more for their benefit. I have been exhausted for the last six years and expect I will be until they leave home! There will be plenty of time to sleep when I retire.
I couldn't have said it better. Priorities do change. In my experience they become more focused out of necessity. Basically, I think you're forced to pick what's important. That's usually the baby and only one other thing: reading a book, programming, working, etc. I'm only talking about from the father's perspective. The child tends to engage the mother more for his/her needs. So women tend to have less flexibility since the child demands more from them. For example, after 1.5 years my wife is just starting to get enough free time to pick up her hobbies again.
I'm glad you brought this up.

Firstly, regardless of the size of the response, I will uphold my promise and provide feedback on every single CV I get, it may take some time but I will deliver.

Secondly, as for a paid service, you absolutely hit the nail on the head as far as your concern about for fear that they may not have experience in tech / I.T. / programming or worse, that they'll simply find a couple of grammar mistakes and charge me a few hundred dollars.

This is the sole reason I haven't set up a paid service myself. How can you charge $100 dollars only to receive a CV that is essentially perfect or even convince your market that you won't just give generic feedback?

Send me the CV and I will do my absolute best for you.
Awesome!! Congratulations - I know it was a long haul, but it looks like it was well worth it.
Can someone still sidejack a session and view a private repo?
Only 40% does Test Driven Development (TDD)? It means that 60% of the developers don’t know if their code works or not!

First of all, 40% is way too high. Wonder what kinds of conferences they attend…

Also, even if you buy in totally to the agile premises, knowing whether your code works should be an effect of code coverage by unit tests, whether they're up-front or not isn't an issue at all.

And finally: No, we're not "professional". This is Hacker News.
Why you may find your software lacking
Indeed, it does not seem very likely that there is a genetic basis for corruption.

But you understate corruption's damage. Corruption often means buying your way out of jail, or downright theft. Not 'just' overcoming bureaucracy.
1. It's the best thing ever. Do it when your ready but if your ready younger that's great. You need all the energy you can get. If I could have done it younger I would.
2. I only felt truly grown up when I became a dad at 43.there's something about putting your own sleeping child to bed, the privilege, joy and responsibility are amazing. It's not that your not grown up if u don't have kids but it made me feel more solid and that's a better platform for launching a business - for me anyway.
3. While you will be more risk averse with kids the benefit is assessing opportunities more clearly.
4. I have just started reading "Raising Babies" by Steve Biddulph a psychologist. Very enlightening on the issue of putting tiny kids into day care. Basically, avoid at all costs if possible according to the latest research. The best thing in the world is looking after your own kids and when they are tiny this is best for them too. As another post says : don't shoehorn them into your life, change your life to fit around them.
5. The first 12 months of a new baby are a blur of exhaustion. Don't fight it, accept it. You can't do 10 eighteen hour days in a row anymore... And that's a good thing too!
This has set the bar very high for Lisp book marketing. I am stunned. My plans for a Clojure Lucha libre exhibition look lame by comparison. I need a bowl of parentheses to help me think.

I would recommend getting peer reviewed - allow people to review your code, coding style etc and offer constructive criticism on how you could have done things better, cleaner and more efficiently - this can be done here on HN, by getting involved in open source projects or just talking to people who you know are good enough.
The name of the designer is at the bottom of one of the screenshots!
does anyone want to create a google group or something to have ongoing discussions about baby/child issues with HN-minded people? I do.
Google have a great SEO Starter Guide up at http://www.google.com/webmasters/docs/search-engine-optimiza... . I would love to hear how your techniques in a more general sense are different from or build on top of what Google are already providing for free to the public?
Slightly off topic parenting discovery: if you're the dad in the USA, you can count on general approval or at least tolerance for just about anything you do with your kids in public so long as you're not hitting them or screaming at them. It's kind of insulting that the standards are so low, but most people still seem to expect dads to be clueless, and/or they treat taking the kids out in public by yourself as an extra credit activity for fathers.
No offence, but I am curious:

As far as I know, LinkedIn makes most of its money by selling access to recruiters. There's definitely automated software that spiders LinkedIn to make it easy for recruiters to search - but they're still going to want a CV to send to their clients.

Today, mobile devices have taken a major portion of our day-to-day lives having thousand and thousands of users employing it for various reasons. A mobile/handheld device provides great solutions in the corporate world by enabling quick business communication and faster rate of transfer of data using several mobile applications.
Would your mum be willing to pay for such a service? That's the big killer on the SMS integration with services like Twilio and Tropo - they charge per use fees.
Yes. If there is one universal truth in the land of parents with newborns, it's that you'll get a sore back. Especially when you have to spend hours leaning over as they hold your fingers learning to walk. I'm now friends with my physio!
I found this video of Milton Friedman helpful in understanding corruption: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-7oMOxPjNE&feature=autof...). He argues that corruption is caused by government passing laws which do not appeal to people's moral instincts. The way to eliminate corruption is to get rid of laws which provide incentives for bribery. If a nation has a small, efficient government, free trade, low taxes, little business regulation, and little if any prohibitions on vice (alcohol/tobacco/drug use, gambling, prostitution, etc.), what is there to bribe a government official about?

But when governments pass laws that are widely disrespected, this creates a culture of corruption which rots away the just administration of all the laws, even those that would normally be considered legitimate, like laws on burglary, assault, and murder.
What are the tax implications if a US corporation grants stock (or options) to a non-resident alien? (Assume that said alien is not doing any work in the US and would not otherwise make any filings with the IRS.)
A good way to build an first app in Python would be to go through the google app engine docs for python, they provide the ability to deploy your app and have a good api.
To learn javascript, if you already know C the syntax itself is a lot like C, but there is the dom and dynamically typed variables. A good way to start might be learning some javascript basics and taking a look at jQuery: http://docs.jquery.com/Tutorials:Getting_Started_with_jQuery.
Hope that helps!
What to Buy this Diwali
Diwali shopping is in full swing as the shops and malls are crowded more than normal. People are looking for the best deals and willing to hop from a shop to shop to find those deals. The most popular category during Diwali is no doubt consumer electronics and home appliances. But a recent survey revealed that shoppers are also spending tons of money on wellness products and services such as skin care, etc. May be people not only like to possess goodies but they also like to look good and therefore invest on their bodies.
Thanks!, it's a great way to play with different combinations.
I don't agree with the first point. You can run Linux on almost anything. Sony recently dropped and deliberately blocked Linux support on PS3.
It reminds me of:
http://tiki.oneworld.net/sustain/tourist.html

In the version I read, before finding this one, it talked about playing with the kids, sleeping with the wife and drinking and playing guitar with friends instead of laying in the sun.
PS2 Linux support was a massive joke -- they forced linux development to be perfectly orthogonal to the rest of the system, and I don't think anything that separates the PS2 from the typical desktop made it into open source (i.e., GPU drivers, and so on).

PS3 Linux support was retroactively revoked via firmwear update mere months after launch.

Security: So You Want to Work Remotely?
Hello Sebastian, this is a timely offer! I've recently looked into SEO and applied what i believe are the 'basics' for on-page optimisation, ie keyword usage, titles, descriptions etc on my 2 sites http://dipeshparmar.com and http://dvpwebdesign.com. But i'm a bit lost with link building, reciprocal linking, and web marketing in general? SEO seems a really complex subject, which seemingly can take many months to implement, can you give me any advice? If so, you can email me at info@dvpwebdesign.com.
True, the webkit DOM inspector can only increase or decrease numerical value, it doesn't work for arbitrary values (I actually find worse that it does not autocomplete property values)

I like the idea, and I think you're missing two tricks. I think you have two key metrics that if you grow will end up making the website grow nicely:

1. Visitor engagement measured as time on site, pages viewed per visit, number of comments, etc. I say you're missing this trick because there is only one story as far as I can tell. Give me more! I really wanted to read more but there wasn't anything. Get a few (10?) stories up there as "seed" content.

2. New stories posted: you want people to register and post stories. You have no massive call to action about this. Yes there are links to register but where is the Big Red Button that says "Post your story"? Make it extremely obvious how people can post stories and make it extremely easy to do so.

On making it easy: how about accepting anonymous submissions and then asking the user to sign up and when they do their anon submissions are claimed into their account automatically?

Or how about just making the site user-moderated with anonymous submissions without the need for accounts?

I'm not saying you should do these, but they are ideas to get you thinking about what you're comfortable with.

I have 2 kids (7 years and 4 months) and 2 on the way (I know I work fast). What I can say above all is I do everything that I do for my kids. To run through your questions. Yes you will get inspiration from your kids as you hope to inspire them in some little way at all times in their life. Your life's priorities sure do change (or at least should). Your life become about your kid more or less. At least mine has. You will hit points of exhaustion. Its figuring out how to limit those times that becomes the trick.

With all that said its the greatest thing ever. Think of it as a little "startup" that you cannot let fail. You put a lot of time into it and in turn you get all the return you need the first time that baby smiles at you and it ISN'T because of gas heh. At no point have I thought it wasn't worth it. Its been a crazy train ride but fun the whole way.
And yet ... millions of lines of code are written every day and tested the old fashioned way, and the world keeps spinning round and round.

Granted, every project can benefit greatly from unit tests. As for TDD, it is an admirable practice, but let's not get religious.
Some points:

- True TDD requires 100% test coverage of the code the developer using TDD has written or altered. I've seen the reports from companies or organizations claiming they do TDD that aim at least 60%. That isn't true TDD, in the Kent Beck definition of the term. That's not to say these people are wrong. In fact, because they have a better balance between test code and production code, they can change functionality of code more easily.

- Many developers attempting to practice TDD don't write the tests well enough to cover every possibly argument/configuration for the various methods they were testing. That's not TDD.

- Many developers attempting to practice TDD won't test trivial methods like getters and setters. That's not TDD.

- Many developers attempting to practice TDD write tests that duplicate the parts of the code being tested. While there are valid reasons for this, it results in frustration for the developer who needs to change 20 tests just to change one bit of functionality. Avoiding this in many cases can take an enormous amount of discipline and time, ensuring proper modularization, mocking, and refactorization of both production code and tests.

So, why do people claim to be doing TDD that aren't? Because there is not a good term out there that everyone knows of for just writing tests before writing code some of the time, duplicating functionality of tests, and leaving out functionality tested by many tests.

In some way, writing and maintaining tests is a lot like auto maintenance. TDD is like keeping your car in pristine condition. It is super-shiny because it is always just-washed and sparkly, and it runs like a champ. But in the end, the primary reason for the car is to get you from point A to point B.

> Another thing that I haven't found Chrome to be able to do is show me events in the DOM tree (I admit I need FireQuery to do that). That really helps you figure out what events are associated with a particular DOM element.

Safari's version has that, not sure about Chrome.

In the DOM inspector, right pane (the one starting with the Styles group), scroll to the bottom and you might find a group called "Event Listener".

You can even switch between viewing only the events bound specifically on the currently-selected node, or those bound on all its ancestors as well (to visualize the bubbling sequence).
"I’ve talked to a lot of people who have skipped from todo system to todo system, getting an initial high of productivity and then moving on. Maybe that’s just how it has to be; perhaps our brains are wired such that we need to vary our routines and methodologies or we slack off over time."

Sounds like the Hawthorne effect http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawthorne_effect

"The Hawthorne effect is a form of reactivity whereby subjects improve or modify an aspect of their behavior being experimentally measured simply in response to the fact that they are being studied, not in response to any particular experimental manipulation."
If your issue is with the size of the resource icons in the left-hand pane, the inspector (Safari's anyway) has an option called "Use Large resource Rows" which is enabled by default (4th from the left). If you disable it, the lines will be as big as the resource's name itself, without the big icons and the domain.

Healthcare Services/Medical Devices and Equipment accounted for the largest share of

I think it's an early walkie-talkie.

Just a decade after this footage, several inventors were starting commercial production of portable two-way radios, and soon after they were widely used during the war. A decade earlier Tesla had built and operated a two-way wireless radio station with trans-atlantic range, which the US Marines destroyed thinking it might be used by German spies. Tesla himself was still alive and working when this film was shot, and he would have been motivated to create a secret, portable and concealable version of his radio.

I suspect that the bulk of the figure in the film is covering a backpack device and antenna under a large coat. That would make this rare and valuable footage and evidence of an early prototype, but nothing outrageous for the time.

I'm in a similar boat, and I also often find that figuring out what the larger task needs to be broken up in to is part of the process. I don't know all the steps until I'm partway through the process in the first place.

This is similar to a problem I have delegating tasks. Not always, but often by the time I detail out things that need to be done, and how to do them, for someone else with less experience, I could have just done the work faster. In the short term this is incredibly frustrating, and I balance that out by telling myself that over the long haul, getting others up to my level on certain tasks will mean I don't have to do it at all. But determining when to delegate and when to do, with real world deadlines involved, is stressful.
I'm in the UK, so we're pretty comfortable paying to send SMS messages. I definitely think businesses would be prepared to pay for it - it saves on flyering.
