Flask seems nice and simple until you need to access a database such as MySQL. With SQLAlchemy it seems like there's a lot more code needed just to perform simple CRUD operations, whereas Django's ORM is really simple. Is there a better alternative to SQLAlchemy? Is it possible to use Django's ORM in Flask?

Having successfully finished many bad games, while gradually making better ones, here is my advice:

You can know from very early user feedback whether the game is going to interest anyone as a product, but you have to stop believing in your game for a moment, or you'll ignore the warning signs. The in-person pitch or demo lets you pick up some details, but product releases give you broader feedback. Do lots of both.

If, after pressing people in-person for thoughts, the feedback is "hmm...well...i don't know...that sounds interesting..." the concept is wrong and you need to start over. You should have something that gives people a foothold to really discuss it and take ownership, or the subsequent marketing efforts won't have much impact on anyone. Online, this is reflected in dead silence. People look and then go away, or if there's interest, it's in something not really related to the product's selling points, like the technology stack it uses.

If there is a product there the volume of commentary will be much higher and drastically more opinionated. From there it's a matter of managing the conversation and picking the path that is likely to open the doors further for the product - pivoting it if necessary. The feedback here is from other developers, which means a heavy bias towards polish. Try to find deeper user concerns instead.
Am I the only one that finds the book cover quite off-putting? It definitely stands out in a "purple cow" sort of way, but I can't help but think that it will affect sales (even though the book will no doubt do well regardless.)

That said, I look forward to reading it, and I'm sure it will be awesome.
OO is a conceptual tool, and therefore it falls under the rule: "Use the right tool for the problem at hand." Same goes for DO. The problem are guys (and gals) who have learned how to hold a hammer (but little else), and therefore treat everything as a nail.

OO has undoubtedly been extremely overhyped. Unfortunately the backlash is not as hard as it should be, because by now OO is so firmly entrenched in the corporate sector that it will take (at least) one generation to merely flush it out of the fields where it doesn't belong at all.

That said, sometimes OO might be just what you want to finish the job cleanly and on time.

TSA Screenings – Why Don’t We Just Get Rid of Them and Security Altogether?
Can someone explain to me, why, exactly, this should be better than a hybrid design?

A hybrid design can use a comparatively tiny combustion engine together with an electric motor, which saves fuel consumption and does not need to be plugged in ever.

The Volt needs both a full-fledged combustion engine and a full-fledged electric engine and needs to be plugged in after each drive. That sounds basically like combining the disadvantages of electric motors and combustion engines in one car. Why would anyone want that?

Show HN: "Startup Ideas We'd Like to Fund"
If you've been to the Y Combinator home site and read the "Startup Ideas We'd like to Fund" post, you'll see that one of the items is to "Fix Advertising".

Clickable.
IEEE doubles are just 64-bit words; so there are 2^64 and you sample randomly by picking a random 64-bit word.

(There are some subtleties: a "random 64-bit word interpreted as a double" is clearly not uniformly distributed over the reals; x86/amd64 uses 80-bit doubles for intermediate results, except when it doesn't; there are things like subnormals ("really small numbers"), Not-a-Number, Infinity, -Infinity, -0; but the above should give you the right general idea)

I would say that battery tech has improved enormously in the last few years. Look at the battery life of current laptops and mobile phones and compare that to a few years ago. In part, this is due to decreased energy consumption of the electronics, but in no small part this should be credited to improved batteries, too.

For my Perl reasons:

* Nicer to write than standard Perl OOP, ie. less boiler plate, quicker prototyping, covers bizarre corner cases, etc

* Moose is pretty much de-factor OO framework for Perl now, ie. big community drives its development and usage.

* Perl6 synergy, ie. Moose heavily inspired by Perl6. Makes it easier when I switch between writing perl5 & perl6 code.

For reasons why I think Moose makes the cut:

* Roles - ala Smalltalk traits. see http://search.cpan.org/dist/Moose/lib/Moose/Manual/Roles.pod

* Types - See http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1558882 (and also follow links back from it).

Square Snags Big Value: $1 Billion
That's it! Eureka! What all this silly pundits fail to do and realize is that the valuation for these companies isn't, and shouldn't be calculated with, simple math!

If I purchase 1% of a company for $1,000,000 the simple math valuation (according to my opinion and what I paid) is a company valuation of $100,000,000. Except, people are paying PREMIUMS for these stocks. A premium is an amount above and beyond the actual value of the item. What's the premium value? We don't know?! The media and pundits need to stop using simple math and shouting about it. But they won't, because PR teams are behind it and it makes headlines!

In my opinion, it's very misleading because the .Net framework relies on the Win32 API to interact with the operating system. Without Win32, there's no .Net, so if Microsoft plans to make upgrades/updates to the OS, how can it do so when Win32 is "frozen and static?" While it's clear that they will eventually(hopefully) rewrite the main applications(Explorer, Calculator, etc) to use .Net, that last part didn't seem to make sense given the dependency of .Net on Win32.

Edit: Please correct me if I'm wrong, as I'm looking to make sure I understand. I based my comment off of David Morton / nobugz's comments in the following thread:

These statements are not at odds with one another. Old people, generally speaking, have more money to spend and they spend it less judiciously; consequently it makes sense for Facebook to target old people.
The article reminds me of Xah Lee's production: there seems to be kernels of truth scattered all over, but they're embedded in a great morass of nonsense, contradictions, insanity and downright trolling.

Although there are some laws that can kind of be represented as computer code (for example, TurboTax captures a good portion of the tax code, and programming a 55 mph speed limit into a car shouldn't be hard) for the most part the law acts as a system for delegating to judges limited authority to exercise discretion. Ultimately, the decisions are made through that discretion, and they aren't entirely predictable. If you haven't already, take 30 minutes and read Oliver Wendell Holmes' "The Path of the Law" and see if you still think the only obstacle to mechanizing the law is the political power of the legal profession. http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/2373
""Why did anyone ever do so in the first place?" might be closer."

I'm interpreting this as "why would we need lawyers, we did fine without them", but that is very untrue. In the past there simply was much less rule of law, with the cronyism and systemic state of fear of citizens that follows from it; as is still the case in most of the Third World and especially in places like China and Russia. But to a lesser degree also in Westerns countries in Europe and the US, and especially in places and/or social strata that don't trust the legal system, or where those who are supposed to uphold the law are corrupt.

Lawyers may seem to be a net tax on the system, and the rule of law could theoretically exist without lawyers, true; but history has proven that systems where people have access to specialists who can fight for their rights are more efficient and, more importantly, better to live in than others.
This seems awesome. They neglect to mention how to power any circuits and what components you could and how. If this could be perfected though, Electrical Engineers would slowly take over the world... with circuits....
I felt this way too, at first, when looking into a Prius. But the batteries are usually warrantied for 100,000 miles. They're also about $2,500 + labor for a new one from a dealer. While this is high for a "maintenance" cost, it's not too bad. Especially considering most people trade their vehicles in every 8 years which would be when it starts to crap out.
