I'm not sure if I'm happy to hear he is indeed good. That is even more troubling.

I would expect lawyers to have some kind of recourse if things obviously are not going the way the law intended them to, instead of simply getting "no" for an answer. But IANAL.

3 Best Tips for Glowing Skin
Skin is the most sensitive part of one’s body. It is also visible so, it should be fresh and glowing. Skin needs proper care where some people don’t take care of their Skin. It is not necessary to use expensive; some in expensive and careful treatment can give you shiny Skin and may resolve many of your problems.
I'd like to see a peer-2-peer DNS system take over. Now go and shut this down.
FastSpring (fastspring.com) seems pretty decent.
Indeed it is already a non trivial effort to make sure that it will run fine under the major free unix systems out there, like *BSD... so our main target is Linux, but we try to do our best to make it working well on FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD and Mac OS X as well.
Nope. Still foolishly hopeful.

You're missing the point (intentionally, I suspect).
I think there are a couple others trustworthy like backbone.js.

Most jQuery plugins were spagetti dom manipulations with a config object passed/merged in to defaults.

I never trusted that plugin site, and would always make sure the plugin was on github and being actively maintained etc.

I really like the idea of https://www.ruby-toolbox.com/ the stats on last update issue fixed, and popularity metrics helps allot. JS should have the same.
Online payment options for SaaS (includes those supported in UK)
Adding a layer of cross-platform abstraction (and forgoing platform-specific features) will degrade performance and increasing the size / complexity of a project does effect stability.
Yes they do. I investigated them too, but sadly we also violate their terms and conditions.
As the most discussions here on HN focus on moving away from PayPal, but don't offer options for UK/EU based companies - this blog post provides good overview what's available.

So it's basically:

* FastSpring

* Amazon FPS

* PayPal Payments (Pro)

The European question: will it be splendid isolation or miserable for the UK?
This may sound harsh, but, from the screenshots, your app would fall in the fugly category. On the cocktail screen, you use a bunch of fonts and clashing colors. At first look, I thought the "Tall" text thingy is a slider for glass size. It isn't.

Compare with the Martha Stewart app. It is extremely polished and the photos look gorgeous.

I'm also curious to know what the regulatory bottlenecks are (if any), that are delaying the launch of the product.

This is the reason i'm not touching jquery - everything beyond jquery and jqueryUI - should be untrusted to a degree.

I'm a Tech recruiter and former developer. I wouldn't have ever classed myself as an excellent developer but my experience is much more extensive than 99% of the people in this industry.

I'm happy to disclose my earnings simply because the HN community has always been very open and effusive to me in the past.

Keep in mind, I'm based in London, UK and I work for one of the worlds largest IT recruitment companies. I started this job in February (I have a few years of recruitment under my belt) and this year I will have earned approximately £60k before tax. Your first year with a new company is always relatively slow as it takes time to build new business. Next year I am targeted to bill a certain amount of money and should I surpass my target by 10% (which is what I feel I can realistically achieve) then I should end 2012 having earned somewhere around £80k. I work alongside a guy who has been in the industry much longer than me and he will comfortably earn £120k+ next year.

There are plenty of tech people who earn a lot more than me but the reality is I would never have been earning the same amount of money at this stage of my career if I had stayed working as a Developer. I've just turned 29 by the way.
An open source implementation is not the same as an open standard and is still not enough. By not having a separate standard oter browsers would either have to support bug-for-bug compatibility with NaCl or be forced to use the reference implementation without any changes (so it might as well have been distributed as a obfuscated binary).

Aside from mining companies (which were still a huge part of Australia's economy before the 'mining boom'), Australia is also flush with other natural resources (farmland, fisheries, petroleum, etc. etc.) in a way that is hugely significant compared to its population. 100 years ago, very few of these could be easily exported. Now, most of them can..

I'm sorry, but I just really dont buy this line that somehow Australia has been much better 'managed' than other countries over a long period. I see very little to support this at all other than extremely vague inferences....

This was also the last straw for me. It's just not worth the risk anymore of the extra attack surface it exposes. I've uninstalled flash from all my machines and disabled it in chrome.
I've seen similar things in my local store. They've finally upgraded to newer self-checkout machines, which means there's less hassle. The worst with the machines is them always telling you "please put the item in the bag" because it can't register a gravy packet and it keeps telling you until a worker overrides it. Then there's always the fuck ups where the item doesn't scan, you put it in a bag and have to pull it back out, and then it tells you "please put the item back in the bag" and won't let you scan it so you can.

The one problem with the theory described above is that most walmarts have a 6 cashier express with a single line, and besides 'rush hour' when the store is packed it's often faster to go to a till to get <10 items scanned. I've ran in before and been out in minutes by going through a regular cashier and avoiding the express because the single line holds the problem that people are stupid, don't pay attention or can't hear and hold up the line, then they have to unpack their cart.

Theory is great, but it's useless when you're stuck behind a bunch of old women who can't hear them being called and spend 20 minutes chatting with the cashier.
Software Engineering for SaaS class from Berkeley
It's easy to understand the point that window management in Android is complex and this complexity hampers graphics performance. On iOS, one process has the entire screen at a time. There are no widgets, no plugin viewports, no 3rd-party UI - but all this stuff is happening on Android. The question becomes whether this is actually a good paradigm to have for a mobile platform and whether this compartmentalization mechanism is really needed.

For example, take this statement: "This [window management technique] is also why Android can safely support third party input methods." Clearly, the perception at Google is that this model makes Android safe, and in a way that's understandable because the platform is way more open than iOS and thus needs more inherent resistance. But look at the concept of "safe support" for third party input methods. But does compartmentalization of UI operations in this case actually make, say, 3rd-party keyboards safe to use?
Funny, what I read was: "This is how Android graphics work, criticize it or praise it, but don't go off explaining it in your own words using wrong facts or incorrect assumptions and telling people you are an expert on the subject"
1) Objective-C is a very dynamic (think Smalltalk), less cluttered and more nicely designed language than C++, that can just as easy fall back to plain fast C.

2) For writing applications, desktop or mobile, nothing in the C++ libs ecosystem comes close to Cocoa/Touch.

3) For the task under discussion (iOS apps), it's the standard that get's 100% of official support from Apple, C++ is not.
Not only does this class sound very interesting, but it's taught by Walter White.

It's a quote from the article. But I agree: it is inappropriate as it is not saying anything about the article content; instead, it is just very rude.
It always reminds me of Nozick's "experience machine" thought experiment.
Here's possible outcome:

- Half-assed port for windows appears, with a big "NOT SUITABLE FOR PRODUCTION";

- Clueless programmers will simple google "redis windows", hit the first compiled version "redis.exe" and use it, eventually shipping it to production;

- They'll then hit the official support forums and SO with "Redis doesn't work!!"

Take a whole week preferably 10 days off. Try not to resist the tempatation, you'll expend more effort feeling guilty, and that's equally non-productive.

I know from experience that it is completely counter-intuitive if you care about your project to just forget it for a while, but I also found that I was able to focus better on the real priorities when I dropped the ball, and had to restart.
It's a shame you feel that way. I understand there is technical limitation due to the blocking nature of one of the subcomponents, but if Microsoft (or some other organization) solved that issue, it sounds like you'd continue mixing open source politics with your product development decisions which I would argue isn't conducive to more widespread adoption of the software or the health the software's ecosystem.

It does of course make sense as I assume you're developing this because you want to, and not as part of a company's bottom line, which means really you can do whatever you like. No sense developing something if you're not enjoying the process. If however you ever take this to a level where you have a financial incentive in furthering the software's adoption, I'd urge you to do whatever it takes to get an official Windows port in there, which would mean looking at any aspects of the implementation that cause issues on that platform, and doing what you can do to overcome them.

Redis can be used for development on Windows. Other than that, people that are hosting software like Memcached, Apache, NGinx and PostgreSQL on Windows should be fired. If you're not up to it than you can always find other people to do it for you.

For convenience you could also run any Linux-specific software in VirtualBox or VMWare on the same machine. You could also install an X-Server on Windows and open Linux apps in their own window on the Windows desktop. I've done it, works great. And you can always find somebody to help out, you only need to ask. Haven't you heard? Virtualization is the future ;)

It is an author's right to devote his time to whatever the fuck he feels like doing. If he feels like there are more important things to work on, rather than Win32 support, then so be it.

If you can't stand this situation you can always port it yourself, send a patch, etc, etc... You can also be hard-core, like the Mono people that reimplemented .NET from scratch because Microsoft doesn't think of Linux as a useful target.
Rebuilding the brain's circuitry
The "data:" URL scheme is only useful for short values. Note that
some applications that use URLs may impose a length limit; for
example, URLs embedded within <A> anchors in HTML have a length limit
determined by the SGML declaration for HTML [RFC1866]. The LITLEN
(1024) limits the number of characters which can appear in a single
attribute value literal, the ATTSPLEN (2100) limits the sum of all
lengths of all attribute value specifications which appear in a tag,
and the TAGLEN (2100) limits the overall length of a tag.

These are references to (theoretical) limitations in HTML/SGML. They are not limitations of the data URL scheme.

Also note that bytex64’s page doesn’t use a link; it just shows the data URL so you can copy and paste it. Either way, none of the above limitations apply here.

Could I ask what it is that you are doing that violates the terms? Just out of curiosity...
Learning a different platform to a competent level is not really what you want to be doing when you're trying to implement production-ready systems under time and cost constraints.

We had this debate a couple of weeks ago: always clone your DB to a staging or local server and practice on that, and never do your delete-fu in a REPL!

I find little sympathy for the MS world.

How about a port of IE to Linux so I can test websites with it? How about the ability to install multiple versions of IE on Windows? I could go on....
I am pretty sure that Germany and France made a major tactical error in trying to deal with an issue directly affecting just 17 EU member status through an extension to the EU treaty.

The UK had no choice but to veto the proposals as they stood.

I strongly doubt that all of the countries that have signed up to coordinated fiscal controls will be able to ratify the treaty - the next few days might well see some back-peddling. I am not even sure that the 17 member states that are in the Euro will be happy with the proposals when the implications sink in.

Net result? I think that this has brought the end of the Euro, as we currently know it, closer.

oh, i'm sure they exist. there's no reason why a printer can't run linux. It's just that when most high end printers got UIs (mid to late 90s), Windows was the only decent dependable, supplier-backed option available, really. And since then the software evolved and thus stayed Windows-specific.

Similar reasons for why most other industrial / high-end professional devices run Windows. Effectively, Microsoft has locked in an entire industry (and as long as their developer support keeps kicking ass, few in the industry mind this).
No you can't unfortunately, you must have a US bank account :( I tried that already
"""Think of all the crazy things we did pluggin ImageMagick into PHP backed by giant MySQL instances."""

While I agree those were easy to use, I can't think of any crazy/cool things from that era websites.

Most of the cool/useful/nice web stuff is from the Ajax/fast JS/jQuery etc era of late.

"""I recently pulled in some image recognition libs to my app, and it's an extreme struggle keeping a large, legacy, C++ lib from exploding all over a mobile device. We really are stepping far, far, back from the previous trend of writing code as if the metal they run on is but a detail."""

It was never "but a detail", it was just that web development is seldom CPU/Memory-bound. Mobile development in the main is.

Also, if you were trying to do a competent 3D game engine, back in the same era you did PHP/MySQL stuff, you'd see that the PC metal was not "but a detail" at all.

It's also a little contradictory to lament about how easy it was to "plug ImageMagick into PHP backed by giant MySQL instances" and then compare it to the difficulty of not only programming for a mobile device, but also "pulling in some image recognition libs to my app".

Not only you're attempting something much more cpu intensive and difficult than using ImageMagick/PHP for web development, something that could have been just as difficult if not more so back in your web days, but you also try it in a device with less memory/cpu. Something's gotta give, right?

That said, nothing stops you writing plain apps for mobile that just do the same stuff you did on the web. There are plenty of frameworks that basically provide you with a browser view and let you do stuff (Platinum, etc).

My argument is more against the sentiment that could be summed up as "meh, just use Linux". What you say is absolutely fair enough, but should Microsoft (or other contributors) overcome the expressed limitations, then a promoted Windows port makes sense.
Ask HN: PST Files are EVIL
A few years ago, I was working in an enterprise that had an ENORMOUS volume of PST files scattered around the place. Tens of Terabytes of corporate email data on user workstations, servers, NAS devices, you name it, they were everywhere.
The team I worked with and I looked high and low to find a solution to getting rid of them, and always came up against the same issues.
The solutions (very few were on offer at all to be honest) were expensive, required engineers to come on site and develop their "product" around our environment, or just flat out didn't work.
The day quickly came that I learnt to truly resent PST files and all that they stood for. I decided that day to develop the solution the right way ..
That's why I'm here. A little shameless promotion of the end result, and a little bit of feedback on what HN would do to eradicate PST files, and where you would want to see that data pushed to?
There are products like Enterprise Vault, Exchange 2010 Personal Archives, Mailboxes themselves, or just straight out consolidating them to some central storage, we currently support moving the information to them all, and that's all great, but I'd love some views on the problem of PST files.
What would make you get rid of them?
What are you doing about them if anything?
Are they a concern to you?
Where would you put the information in them?

oh, and lastly, the shameless plug (http://www.pstaccelerator.com)
Of course troff hyphenates. Its job in the pipeline is to hyphenate, compute layouts, and output input for dpost. If your argument is that decoupling hyphenation from layout is difficult, I believe you are wrong. Splitting the hyphenator into a separate program is straightforward enough. Consider the text formatter

hyphen < input | layout | topostscript

where hyphen inserts all possible hyphens, and layout discards those which are unnecessary.

Also it's not that hard to #ifdef 42 graphic backends to a dead code base. It obviously becomes a nightmare as soon as you want to extend and evolve the core code.

Antirez makes the point that linux has won the SW deployment war. And, really, it hasn't, with the possible exception of web startups. A lot of software isn't standard SaaS web stuff, and a lot of software won't for a long time, for all kinds of practical reasons.

Antirez, if you could try and imagine how Redis could be used in different environments (inside devices, as a component in 'end-user' business software, and so on), you might see why 'deployment' and 'servers' and 'the cloud' is not at all the only area where Redis might shine. It's your project so your choice, but don't neglect industries and areas simply because those involved in it aren't so represented among your twitter followers!
