"Some"?
I think you will garner significantly different reaction if you give some sense of who you are as a recruiter in your posts, and why you aren't a scumbag (i've read some of your threads/comments).

Disclosure that you're a recruiter is fine if you can articulate how you are going recruiting differently. Link to your blog, talk about your dev experience, etc.
If you really want to be linguistically accurate, just replace "killing" with "taking market share away from". Other than that in my humble opinion, the central point is trivial.
Thanks Colin. I'm going to write a lessons learned post about Bloki today which will cover exactly what you mentioned.

So far I received almost 100 mails in less than an hour or so... :P
This post was worth the vote just because of the fond memories hacking through browser compatibility issues in the early 2000s. I'd literally cry sometimes, but I suppose it taught valuable lessons about the cost of long-term support, customer satisfaction, and the demands of building a shipping product vs. a nice tech demo.

Part of life as being an employee is learning to deal with things like this. Unfortunately, part of life being a boss/founder/owner is having to ignore all the perfectly reasonable complaints and say do it anyways, because there are business, political, or other reasons it has to be done.

That said, this special taste of hell used to be developing any site, repeated for every browser, back before all these fancy CSS frameworks that did all the hacks for you.

Given all that, I think the OP has the right approach: Sucking up and dealing with it at work, and campaigning on his private site to move onwards and upwards. Has my vote.

Great writeup. This shows the power of gevent+redis really succinctly.

I think most importantly vs a twisted or tornado based solution this is using the vanilla redis client library. As long as your datastore's client library is pure-python it JustWorks with gevent.

Adding gevent-websocket and gevent-socketio to the mix gives some interesting possibilities as well.
First off, you should hold your head high for the things that you have already accomplished. As for it not working out, welcome to the real world. You can either let that eat away at you, or you can get back on the horse. My first venture failed and I took about 1-2 weeks as a mini-mind vacation but then I immediately started brainstorming for what my next project was going to be. Failing is inevitable. It's what you can accomplish through the failure that is the true question. Identify the mistakes you have made so that you don't make them again, and then do it all over. Genius is merely persistence in disguise. (Oh, and BTW, as I am in a very similar situation to you in terms of 1 failed venture/age/experience, shoot me an email sometime - robertajohnson83 [at] gmail.com.)

You do seem like a good one, as far as they go, and I don't have anything, in general, against recruiters posting here. I don't think it's the best forum for your type, but there's no rule against it.

What I took issue with was that you are internally inconsistent, yet claim to be "honest." Ha! Whatever it was that made you once say you WILL NEVER attempt to solicit business on Hacker News---well, obviously, you don't believe in that anymore.

I'm sure the videos still launch in the Flash plugin in IE6, so not sure how important dropping support is.
I agree. The only reason this story is getting any play at all is because it involves a shiny trendy company.

If these people rented through posting flyers at bus stations or via craigslist the story would be lucky to be printed in the police blotter.

EJ especially sounds like a woman-child who wanted all the benefits but is unwilling to accept responsibility for the risks she stupidly undertook.
But technically with this solution your content will be hosted on the Liberate server too. So when that server goes down or gets slow, so does your entire website. PageLime would be the best option in that case. Allowing remote javascript on your site can be just as bad as giving FTP credentials. Besides, you can just create an FTP account for the CMS.

The problem is that their users are not a representative sampling of the overall browser market since they heavily skew towards web developers. If you are also making a site for web developers, then the w3schools numbers are valid. Otherwise, no.
That requires a great deal more self-awareness than I think the Democratic leadership is capable of. Rather, I think the Republicans will get whatever they want, minus some token concession. There's not a great deal of analysis coming from me on that (that sort of thing has gotten too depressing), just a cynical look at the last 30 years and an expectation of the same for the next 30.

That said, it's probably good news. If the Tea Party drives America into irrelevance it will be better for everyone in the long run. A monopole world is a terrible idea.

The majority of people involved in technology are thinking people. Some of these people are part of large corporations which currently use IE6 because the cost of updating legacy systems is overly prohibitive.

They don't use IE6 because they lack education or intelligence - they're using it because the business case for leaving IE6 behind isn't as strong as the business case for keeping it.

It's not impossible to produce a site which functions well with IE6. Some sites won't need to consider it, but IMO particular types of site (ecommerce for example) must support it, because one single conversion can bring the parent company a lot of money.

The problem is that you don't get a good one-sentence explanation, you get a bunch of one-sentence explanations of widely different quality, frequently contradictory.

Error establishing database connection. Well, so much for that experiment.
If your workflow or VCS doesn't allow rebase natively then people will implement it in the filesystem by never committing.

Git's approach to committing is: "commit early, commit often". The coro;lary is: "don't worry about perfection, we can fix it later". Such flexibility to me is very enabling and allows for a lot of very beneficial experimentation in the process of developing features.

Honestly, I don't understand your fascination with the sausage-making. If I were to give you the pre-rebase and post-rebase version of patches I would wager you would find much more value in the latter. And if not. Even if seeing the wandering, hacking, slashing, typoing, re-indenting, etc. is instructive to you, any future maintainer of the code will be far less pleased.

In short, no. In the domain that we're talking about (website optimisation) bandit algorithms and A/B testing address exactly the same problem, and bandit algorithms do so more efficiently.

Bandit algorithms actually arose out of hypothesis testing when people started to think about stopping experiments early. One of the first papers on this is Chernoff's "Sequential Design of Experiments" (http://www.jstor.org/pss/2237415). Reading just the abstract on JStor will give the flavour of the idea, and bandit algorithms are the natural extension of this of this idea to a continuously running problem.

The Secretary Problem - an Optimal Stopping Problem
>1) when did it suddenly become ok for the military to shoot unarmed combatants?

It has always been OK to shoot enemy combatants who are not actively communicating their intent to surrender; just because someone is not obviously armed, does not mean that he is definitely not a threat. The more important question is, "How do you know if someone is an enemy combatant?" This becomes especially difficult if the enemy does not wear proper identifying clothing or insignia. In the most unambiguous cases, the inherent right to self defense kicks in: if someone has a gun and is acting in a threatening manner, you get to shoot. Beyond that, rules of engagement will define criteria for determining if an individual or unit should be considered hostile ("hostile" has specific meaning, including, "OK to shoot at."). UBL was unambiguously an enemy combatant, so the ROE in this scenario apparently defined him as hostile.

>2) if "no one wanted detainees" why weren't the women with usama killed?

I don't think that phrase was meant to be as general as you are taking it to be. I think what was really meant was, "No one wanted to try to bring detainees out of Pakistan on the helicopters." The choice in re. UBL and his sons was to either kill them on the spot, turn them over to the Pakistanis, or fly them out on the helicopters. Turning them over to the Pakistanis has so many problems that I'm not even going to try to get into it. Trying to fly them out is risky because something could go wrong (e.g. helicopter shot down or crashed), resulting in escape, or capture by the Pakistanis. The highest priority here seems to have been closure, to get UBL out of the picture for sure, and flying him across a mountain range in a helicopter puts that objective at risk.

The same three choices (kill, turn over to Pakistan, or extract) applied to the women, but the need for closure didn't apply, so turning them over to the Pakistanis actually made the most sense.

>3) Is freezing no longer considered a form of surrender (seems especially relevant when no commands/orders were given to him?

Freezing alone has never been considered a form of surrender. Just freezing can indicate indicision, panic, or calculated caution just as easily as it can indicate a desire to surrender. Surrender requires a deliberate indication of an intent to surrender, such as putting your hands in the air or laying down on the ground. The fact that he used his wives as human shields indicated an intent to continue resisting, and he did nothing to adequately indicate that he had changed his mind and wanted instead to surrender. You can switch from fighting to surrendering at any point, right up to the moment before you are killed, but the other side has no obligation to pause at that moment to evaluate if you have changed your mind.

>4) why did "no one want detainees"?

>>In the final week of wrapping up my first legitimate project, my boss dropped the bomb I was hoping to avoid. “Hey, Colby”, he said, “make sure it works in IE6 and up.”

This is the problem. No foresight. A my agency IE 6 support is a very specific line item in our proposals (if it's in there at all) and it adds 30% to the cost of development.
I know you weren't making this connection directly for me, but just for the record I have actually been a big fan of Twitter for quite a while ;)

I do see your points, but and I'm not saying my suggestions would make it a more popular site, or give it a better chance of making money, or a better chance of lasting longer. Simply that it would make it a site that I would enjoy more.

And obviously I can see that my Bieber example was humour, and my point wasn't disagreeing with that, simply that a site for of actually insightful answers would, to me and to many others (not saying the majority) would be far more interesting, than a site full of random humoour.

Would it be a waste to get pg to write just a sentence? Perhaps, but if so that means I have picked a bad example. I've seen many examples in the past of something quite complex being explained in an easy-to-understand one seentence way, which would have left me wanting a lot more had it been in my area of expertise, but in fact I much enjoyed.

Here's an example, the P = NP problem. Sure, some people will enjoy reading pages and pages about this, but others not so much. A well-worded one sentance on why people care about it could therefore be interesting.

Add that to many other topics, and essentially you're building a database that lets people learn a very little about a wide range of areas. What was the actual logic behind schrodinger's cat, how do birds fly, why is moore's law the case?

I would enjoy browsing through that, I think. And, hopefully, some of them would be "I already knew that", some would be "I don't really care", some "that's quite interesting" and some "hmm, I need to go find out more about this".

So really I wasn't trying to slightly alter this concept, I was pitching a totally differeent purpose of an almost identical website, that in my very subjective view would be better.
