this is a common misconception about rails.

Rails doesn't "force" you to use their way. You don't have to call your table "people" if your model is called "person".
It just that you have additional freedom not to configure anything if you are ok with the default configuration.

in many other frameworks you always have to configure everything, abut in rails you might just go with the defaults and skip the configuration altogether.

If express had code generators that would generate standard layout for models etc it wouldn't hurt anyones' ability to use their custom layout.

Did you read Holman's article? If not, I will reiterate a key point, not all startups make you work insane hours. Lots of them have you work flexible work weeks with the same amount of hours of a regular 9-5 job. I enjoy life, and that's why I am at a startup. I can take time here and there to go do something fun, and I can go to work and enjoy what I do there because I can actually have an impact on my company and its products. In my former non-startup roles, the companies were way to big to have any real influence on how they worked.

Not saying that there aren't unconstitutional laws on the books, but going to one of the top links in your search isn't very illustrative of the point: http://www.krusch.com/real/unconstitutional.html

E.g. 18 U.S.C. §1462. Importation or transportation of obscene matters.

He says: "Consequently, Congress explicitly indicated its intent to leave in force all the pre-existing provisions of 18 U.S.C. §1462.

In other words, giving out abortion information over the Internet, as of 1996, is illegal. Wow!"

Except when the Communications Decency Act was challenged in 1996, the government didn't even attempt to defend the enforceability of 1462(c), which prohibited the exchange of "obscene" materials over the internet. While not deleted from the code, it effectively can't be enforced because the government acquiesced on its obvious unconstitutionality. And the other parts of the CDA that they did try to defend were struck down by the Supreme Court.

You have to remember that "the law" in the U.S. isn't just what's in the statutes, it's what's in the statues + court decisions. There's a lot of garbage in the U.S. Code that can't be enforced because of court decisions like that.

I think this is great but the fraud potential is going to be key. It says it will require the companies to provide basic financial documentation but it will be interesting to see what the SEC requires. Also, what legal responsibility will these crowdfunded companies have to their investors.

I also wonder how this would impact wider disclosure requirements. From what I've read, you can only have so many private investors (500?) before you are required to provide enlarged financial statements. Apparently it's one of the reasons Facebook needs to IPO--too many stockholders. If this law isn't modified in this bill--you'd have small companies who had to spend tons of resources to comply at a very young age.

Also one of the drivers for Google is to prevent mobile from becoming a walled garden that is dominated and controlled by one company (Apple), which could easily decide at some point to replace Google (and there's already some talk that Siri will be the first step in that direction). Whether or not it's a major contributor to Google's profitability at this point in time, is really not so important as creating an independent mobile ecosystem where Google products can thrive.
Ask HN: Is it ok to bypass the final PayPal confirmation?
I'm currently updating BugMuncher to use the PayPal API for payments, and it's always frustrated me that the process required by PayPal is:

1 - click order button on your website
2 - login on paypal.com
3 - review and confirm order on paypal.com
4 - review and confirm order on your website

It's always seemed to me that step 4 is unnecessary, but all the PayPal API documentation says it has to be there.

Normally I wouldn't dream of going against PayPal, as I know they love to freeze accounts, but I just ordered an SSL certificate from NameCheap, paying with PayPal, and they bypassed step 4! Once I confirmed on paypal.com, it took me to an order complete page on NameCheap, I didn't ever confirm the order on their website.

Do you think that if a big company like NameCheap get away with it, it would be ok for me to do?

Which Paypal product, specifically, are you using? Many of them do not require customer confirmation after the redirect, they just require that you confirm the purchase took place (i.e. all you have to do is flash a message saying "OK, we charged you money." and let the folks get back to whatever they were doing.)

e.g. BCC has sent people to a page which says "Thanks for your order" and has instructions on the next step they should take, for the last five years, and this has never been an issue.

I emphasize again that it depends on the product you are using. (Plus, if you're big enough to have an account rep, you can get requirements waived. Same goes for just about every company that exists, by the way. The TOS, heck, the API itself is negotiable if you bring in enough business.)

I agree, perhaps not worth the hassle. Although I stated it as a requirement because I feel its sane to expect that would "just work", but apparently not.

I was thinking about some sort of auth-proxy for authenticating against google apps, and in case google apps doesnt respond it would use whatever happened last time, as a cache. And that proxy could be used for PAM, network login, filesharing etc. But its not in the scope for this project to develop that.
If you could learn programming or comp sci again; what would you do differently?
There are so many resources online for learning computer science related stuff, new programming languages and some things not easily accessible to all.

Too bad Jon Stewart's writers didn't bother to "skewer" unsupervised pre-teens.

The writers simply don't have time to skewer everything that might deserve it in a single 4-minute spot. I'm sure that they aren't particularly in favour of unsupervised pre-teens, and are probably able to find a gag or two there if needed, so they might get around to addressing that in time.

Dear Neelie Kroes… -EU Digital Agenda-
You're correct. There's no issue to sell under a GPL license. The commercial section of WordPress.org are all GPL providers, but many of the largest commercial theme providers are listed there.

ThemeForest actually uses a split license, wherein the templates within the theme are GPL, but the CSS, images, or non-WordPress dependent things in the theme are "protected" under a different license.

GPL has essentially turned into a non-issue for commercial WordPress entities that have gone that route. This doesn't mean they don't get copied and stolen, because it happens all the time - just like non GPL products. But the business models are well beyond selling a template and forgetting about it. Support, updates, reputation, code quality, and other factors are a driving force as to why someone would buy a theme from the actual provider rather than a "legally" ripped version for a fraction of the price.

> What's the next step? That's the most important question for me and for other JS professionals that I talked to at recent local conference.

Components with bindings IS the next step. Douglas Adams quote:

"The History of every major Galactic Civilization tends to pass through three distinct and recognizable phases, those of Survival, Inquiry and Sophistication, otherwise known as the How, Why and Where phases. For instance, the first phase is characterized by the question, 'How can we eat?' The second by the question, 'Why do we eat?' And the third by the question, 'Where shall we do lunch?'"

Whenever the topic of web app development has come up in the past 5 years or so, I always think of this quote. In the case of front end development, the questions are "Can we do this?" (CGI, asp/jsp/php), "Can we make this feel better?" (ajax, rails & co), and "How shall we structure our app?" (components, binding, widgets). This last phase only kicked of in earnest about a year ago and I'm still evangelizing the approach to even relatively up to date developers. They've heard of Backbone, for example, but haven't investigated and don't know how it applies to day to day work.

Going forward, expect to see interoperability concerns addressed. I've seen proposals for this in the form of html5 component model [1][2] and style tag's scoped attribute [3]. This provides a common ground for people to mix different libraries/components on the same page with a reasonable confidence that things won't break.

I also expect one of the KVO frameworks and it's associated widget system to "win" like jQuery has won DOM manipulation. What makes widget frameworks in the browser fun is that people have an expectation of being able to completely restyle everything and the only way I know of to do that cleanly without forcing a lot of fragile markup is with sass/less/stylus, so I expect to see those increase in popularity.

As a whole, web apps have been less sophisticated than equivalent complexity desktop and mobile apps. I've long believed that much of this is due to us re-writing a half-assed widget system from scratch for every project. This consumes a significant fraction of the time/money/effort allocated to a project which apps on other platforms can put into additional capabilities or polish. As such, I think the wide adoption of a KVO framework and widget library will be an inflection point for the quality and sophistication of apps in the browser. I'm looking forward to it.
