Sound advice, I found myself nodding at the various bits in the article, and recognize that over time I have gravitated towards similar patterns even in my limited amount of frontend work. The underlying idea is that CSS classes should be treated as rigorously as any other kind of identifier in a programming language: naming structure, precision in usage and clarity of scope are important.
You're right, claiming Santorum openly supports SOPA style content filtering is hyperbole with no basis in his actual statement (http://www.ricksantorum.com/enforcing-laws-against-illegal-p...). Admittedly though, it is a potential outcome.
I'm assuming he means hiding behind a VPN, which encrypts traffic and masks your IP. If enough people start using them, I suppose they'll be the next to feel the heat from the media-companies.
Believe it or not, we ARE the disruption in our market, and we're taking tons of sales from the old guard.

That said, there's only so much you can disrupt enterprise sales. There's an art to it that, while I hate to stereotype, isn't commonly known to most of the valley types I've met.

It's arcane, it's awkward, and it takes lots and lots of practice and failure. In short, selling multi-million dollar software simply isn't something you can accomplish with a Paypal button and a download link. The average sales cycle is measured in months, and a sub-30-day sale is considered monumental.

RAM on a tablet affects performance in a very straightforward way. Why mention any specs if it's just a "consumer electronics device"?

I think the reason they don't mention RAM is because they don't want to get in a silly numbers based arms race. They want to say "here's the whole package, it's pretty great, and better than the other guy's stuff, even if some of his specs are a little better on paper".

True.

Santorum is just the most recent incarnation of the moral majority that want to dictate how you should act in your private life. Part of the same group that screams about the government intruding on gun rights, religious rights, etc. A hypocrite.

While, I am hopeful he won't get the votes to event be considered for the GOP nominee, I do hope someone like Larry Flynt will crawl out and destroy yet another moralist.

What happens between consenting adults in their private lives has nothing to do the government.

A long time optimist (and citizen of) that people in the US will do the right thing, I am glad that I have an exit opportunity to saner parts of the world.

The fact that Santorum and his brand of politics has traction , on some level, scares me.

We can now prove that revenue has actually decreased per dollar paid to a CEO...CEOs now make more money for accomplishing less?

Your metric is a ratio and it does not prove that CEO's accomplish less.

For example, suppose a CEO doubles revenues (did you mean profit?) from $1B to $2B and their pay increases from $10M to $30M. They have accomplished more, but revenue/pay has gone down.

In my career I've made an uncountable number of jobs unnecessary through automation. But did I capture any of this productivity boost?

Most likely. Pay for programmers has skyrocketed, unlike pay for ordinary workers.

Besides, the productivity of the few people you failed to replace has also gone up. If you make 8/10 jobs redundant, should the pay of the remaining 2 increase commensurately with their drastically increased productivity?

Apple is getting my money because they have a compelling product NOW. That's the name of the game in business. This is old-fashioned Microsoft FUD, from a fanboy to boot.
First of all this is non-merit discrimination; which should bar yammer from doing business with government, and contractors. Check out their fron-page, the top of their customer list is Pitney-Bowes.

Second, he is creating a hostile work environment for his own employees who may feel differently about the case, or who have come from companies that collapsed as he is expecting Yahoo would.
The proliferation of "git tips", and "my git habits", "git best practices" articles, make me think that Git is too complicated for its own good to need all those.

(Maybe "need" is a bad choice of words: maybe it doesn't need those articles, but it's too complicated if it gets to have them. You don't get such avalanche of advice for a simple, no BS, tool).

Now, the complicated part means it's flexible --in the rare cases you need it to be. But it could probably use a facade that makes the common use cases more intuitive (there are some half-baked attempts that I'm aware of).

Personally, I use mercurial.

One of the most dangerous ideas in politics today is that "The truth lies somewhere in the middle", which is what allows lunatics such as this to be taken seriously.
It saddens me that, even in a quest to convert the hardcore/crazy right-wing that Santorum would even consider pledging things like this. Not only will such a law never come to fruition but it makes a mockery of politics to even suggest such things. Call me a naive idealist if you will but I'd like to think that Presidential candidates would try and campaign on real issues, not fire and brimstone nonsense.
I think the decisions are driven by the market, honestly, not the sales channel.

The products targeted at enterprise simply have to be vastly different than products targeted at small to medium sized businesses. The 37Signals business model of "Minimal features, give the customer what we give them, and nothing more" just doesn't work for companies with over xx,000 people.

How many large enterprises are using Basecamp? Highrise?

It isn't because they aren't good products, and it certainly isn't because they don't sell well... It also has nothing to do with the sales channel and process. But, simply put, the bigger the customer, the higher-touch the integration process must be, which by nature, drives up the touch-requirements of the sales cycle.

The long-drawn out sales cycle is a feature, really. It helps the customer get a really good understand of product capabilities before a lot of money is spent, as well as a realistic timetable of how long it will take to be integrated with their existing services, tied in to their existing data, authenticating against their native ADs or LDAPs, and provisioned within their existing storage arrays.

It isn't for everybody, and it certainly isn't the silicon valley way, generally speaking, but it works when done well, despite how much people might hate it.
> I am not an US voter, but if I were, I would not be able to vote for a person that publishes such a vile idiocy under his name.

Unless you live in US flyover country and are intimately familiar with the types of people who live there, you won't understand Santorum. It's just a cultural gap.

For what it's worth, I could name some popular opinions and ideas in, for instance, Europe that are just as shocking and repugnant to me.

Interesting idea!

Or similarly, perhaps they want anyone lingering/lighting their areas to be extra-obvious on security footage.

Without an explanation like these, it's hard to understand the security-gradient provided by darkness, against people who have leisurely physical access. Spies whose access isn't being closely observed can bring their own lighting, cameras, and even infrared-equipment, too.

Mercurial is more like Git than not. It differs in the way it stores revision history (Git stores files, Mercurial stores deltas, basically).

And branching is Mercurial isn't nearly as neatly implemented as it is in Git.

But it would seem to address the issues you listed here. For example, you can rollback a commit if you did the "stupid typo" mistake. And you have a lot of power to "change history" and modify the DAG anyway you wish.
Your competition is only going to go so far. "I got turned around in the datacenter, oopsie" is something that happens. It's not likely that Amazon is going to send someone over a fence, regardless of how low it is. That's crossing the line.

One day I would love to be able to vote for a President who does not believe that the earth is 6000 years old and that a supernatural being materialized the Universe in seven days.

I mean, we give these guys nuclear launch codes!

I'm sorry if this offends some but this god bullshit really needs to disappear from our culture before humanity can truly begin to move to a higher level.

Most people would laugh their asses off (and be horrified) if a candidate for President expresses obedience and belief in Thor. What's the difference between Thor and all the other supers?

I was once called up for jury duty. When it came time to be sworn in for the initial selection I told the judge that I could not swear on the bible. He asked me why. I told him that I happen to know that the Principle of Conservation of Energy is true and that I could not, in good conscience swear on something that blatantly violates it in so many ways. He actually chuckled. I then offered that, if belief in the supernatural was a prerequisite to be selected into a jury I would gladly swear by Thor to tell the truth and nothing but the truth, etc. I told him that I like that story a little better because of the cool hammer.
I was respectfully excused. Ironic, being that they were after the truth.

But I digress, I agree with the fiscal conservatism of the Republican ticket but their hyper-religious bend and ridiculous social stance sure turns me off. Santorum is insane.

You've got to admit that HN isn't meant for long running conversations. But if you prefer it, so be it :) Here's what I posted over on yakkstr:

You gave me a lot of reading material which will take me a little while to go through, in the meantime I'll give you my point of view.

Given some policy proposal we should attempt to measure it's effectiveness and determine if it leads to a better outcome than we currently have. If it does, we should adopt it. We have to figure out what it means to be "better", but I think we can agree easily in many cases.

My problem with philosophies like libertarianism is that they start with some accepted truth (i.e. NAP) before any attempt is made to measure or predict an outcome. It's effectively a faith based belief. Let me give one example, I think it's clear that our country benefited enormously from public education. That is the government using force to take money from some people to pay for schools for other people. I'm pretty sure this is diametrically opposed to libertarian philosophy, but we are better off for it. Why would we not do something good based on a philosophical ideal like libertarianism, communism, etc? Why start from an ideology rather than measuring what does and doesn't work? If you identify yourself as a libertarian then you're psychologically less likely to accept evidence for a policy that goes against the ideology.

It's not exactly hard to find people discussing different best practices and their own individual workflows in Mercurial, either[1].

The existence of these articles doesn't tell us anything negative about Mercurial, or Git, it merely tells us that these tools are powerful enough to be used for Real Work in Real Workflows, and that there are few things people love more than talking about their workflows.

Thanks, I missed that. Still, Santorum's statement did not mention a desire to go after foreign sites (which would require something like SOPA or an international treaty). The Daily Caller just mentioned that his enforcement of existing laws wouldn't affect international sites.
General customer requirements for enterprise software:
- Must integrate with their existing authentication. Their authentication may be LDAP, Active Directory, or any number of other things you may or may not have heard of.

- Must store to their existing storage hardware. Hardware may be SANs from EMC, 3Par, HP, etc. Storage arrays may or may not be writable over the network. Storage arrays may require fiber channel. Storage arrays (I'm looking at you EMC Celera) may require interaction against custom APIs.

- Must work against their existing load balancers -- load balancers may be hardware or software, may or may not utilize sticky sessions, and may or may not preserve the integrity of data packets passed along.

- Must allow for SSL encrypted traffic to be intercepted by their proxies, decrypted and logged, then forwarded along and still run as quickly as you would expect any application to run.

- Must support Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle Database.

Take the '10/30 minute blog' programming videos you see for all the common frameworks, make them work with the above feature set, and tell me how long it takes. Then sell that to a company with more than $10,000 users, and then do so without requiring any support from you or your company.

After that, if you still think it's as easy as you do, I will more than happily issue a public apology for having disagreed with you. Until then, honestly, I think you're looking at the problem space a little naively.

If you tell us the general field your startup falls under, it'll be easier to attract the attention of potential cofounders interested in your kind of startup.

They specifically used the words "web access," does that mean other ports are in the clear?

That's engineer thinking, not lawyer thinking. Do you really think, just because packets went over port 9999 and, let's go further and say it wasn't even HTTP, that any attorney, judge or jury will even understand, much less care that it's not the "web"?

I feel the same about Oracle. There is just so much capability in the Oracle RDMBS if you take the time to learn it. If your organization is paying for SQL Server or Oracle and then just doing simple SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE or throwing an ORM on it you are leaving a serious amount of value unutilized.
From the article, and the premise that massive computing power is being created and required anyway, it sounds much more like a weakness at AES 128-bit that is only practical for a government agency.

It also sounds that they discovered it before 2008, due to the jump in resource timing, i.e. less than 10 years after AES.

It would help me tremendously if HN offered the option to "fold" comments and children of those comments like on Reddit. I do this often to get past the meme threads and onto the real meat and potatoes. But, I think that may be outside the scope of HN's style or design of the interface.
I suspect there is another dimension to this. Not critical but I think it is there. And that is the desire to stand out, be different. People like rituals and complicated processes. You can be just your regular run of the mill engineer OR you could be a Google engineer wearing a miner's hat and imagining you are opening up HAL to examine or fix problems with.

In a way look at military. It is very ritualized. Ex. there is the changing of the guard rituals, specific culture and practices that are passed down. Any large organization will have those. It sort of help with group cohesion and assigns a level of importance to even mundane things like swapping out a hard drive.
