I think timing is big here. These content management systems came out at just the right time and they have had a long period to evolve and further entrench their market positions.

At the time these things came out, even basic features were a big deal. PHP was the only platform which was easy to deploy on shared hosting (VPS and cloud were unknown terms at that time.) Today these systems occupy a niche where there is enough demand to give them a seriously high profile on the web but the space isn't compelling enough to make developers spend a lot of time here. There also isn't compelling reasons for consumers to switch away from the big players.

Today, I think the CMS is an aging idea.It seems that every day I see some new component or service which I could just drop in to an app to build as another piece to building a custom CMS. Eventually it may be as easy to create a custom CMS as it is to configure an existing one today. Not that it's not already easy to throw something together with just Rails and some add-ons. You can get a long way with Rails barely even knowing Ruby.

Also, as we move closer to an API web with a client (mobile and web) heavy in JS consuming JSON, then a CMS probably needs to change quite a bit to stay useful. The CMS would basically just be a publishing tool to create content for the API. It would be less useful for creating layouts and generally dealing with the front-end. Mobile would need something else entirely.

I don't think these things are going to go anywhere for a long time. The niche need will be slow to die. But I just don't see a big opportunity for putting in the hard effort of creating one now. The available systems are largely good enough.

I really hate this part:

"The military contends the treatment was proper, given Manning's classification then as a maximum-security detainee who posed a risk of injury to himself or others."

You can explain everything with that circular logic. The prison made him dangerous to self and others and it was designed for such people, so it was correct. Really messed up.

I haven't read the book yet, but it's on my Amazon wishlist because it's supposed to teach you exactly this. The descriptions on the site and on Amazon don't give much insight, but you can find the introduction and first chapter on Google Books to get an idea of what it's all about.

Pretty sure this was first introduced to me on HN, so others can probably expound further.
That "something" is the most scary and dangerous bit.

It might be something the government want to keep secret, but can be used secretly as evidence in a hidden court session. So you will never ever be able to find out why they think you are lying and never ever have the chance to defend yourself or prove their evidence wrong. Hell, you cant even verify it reasonably exists.

AFAIK, the only safeguard we have left in the UK are judges, and thus far they are not politically appointed like they are in say the US.
I have patterns and ways I want things to be done and I want those things the exact same way.. that I am aware of and that is not the issue (just for clarification for the text below).

I have issues working with very repetitive tasks, like data input. I am not able to go into details about how it works and how "Specialisterne" analyse their students (in lack of a better word), as all their students sign an NDA about this stuff.

About Thorkil's vision, I'll quote him: "My vision is to create new possibilities for people with ASD [Autism Spectrum Disorder] and to influence society to adopt a more positive attitude towards people with ASD."

I hope this was in enough detail, else let me know if you want me to elaborate.

They are not rare, there are CMS systems not covered in this blog post. On the Ruby side, take a look at the Ruby Toolbox to see many more content management systems: https://www.ruby-toolbox.com/categories/content_management_s...

It has the built-in "Well, there are a lot of CMS apps but not many used," but the other side of that is that there two (maybe three) very-popular and often-used content management systems in Rails that the author does not even mention. He claims to "spend more time looking at content management than most people" but then he has no knowledge of the most popular ones??

This statement is the biggest whopper:

"The existence and competence of Rails and Django have prevented a serious, shared CMS ecosystem from developing around either Ruby or Python."

I develop apps in Ruby and Rails, and it's the exact opposite. I use great systems like RefineryCMS or Spree to quickly get the framework of a site together, I pull from a massive amount of gems to get most of the functionality that I want, I reuse my private gems to get features specific to my needs, and.... at the end of the day, I only write what little code I need that is truly custom to the client's needs. I'd say that it takes some of the fun out of developing web apps if I wasn't happy being so productive.

The build-your-own aspect he mentions is true, though, but it's a problem with developers more than with the existence of Rails or Django. In my experience, many devs would rather work on their own because programming is fun and they want to solve problems like that -- and they want to be paid for that work. The way it usually works is, a dev will look at a tool, find some obscure reason why it "won't work," and then spend the time building his or her own. And since many managers don't have the knowledge to override bad developer decisions, they get away with it.
US-only though (maybe the title could be revised).
This is in no way against the spirit of the bundles. The spirit of the bundles is that you pay however much you please, allocating how you choose between charities, devs and the humble crew.

Unfortunately the games THQ offers are only available on Steam, but that's the way it shakes. However you look at it, they are still sharing a high-quality selection of games that you don't have to pay them ANYTHING for. You can put 100% of your payment toward charity and THQ still happily gives you the games.

I don't see how that's against the spirit of the bundles.
In a very humorous series of events, while checking my RSS feeds I read [this](http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4843795) immediately before seeing this title.
Built lots of CMS in Django. In my experience, they are usually custom and never the same.

For this reason I usually use FeinCMS (http://www.feincms.org/) and configure/customise things according to my client's needs.
My agency wrote a rails CMS called Atreides powering at least 20 sites with high traffic and recently open sourced it. It was very much inspired by Tumblr's simplicity but adds a lot of flexibility particularly with images, videos, social components, analytics, and mixed media content creation. http://the88.github.com/Atreides/

This is technically incorrect, since both Gnome and KDE are first-class citizens (and so is XFCE). You get to choose upon installation, and all three DEs are in the official main repository.

(This is just a minor correction. By all means, go with openSUSE, KDE support has been excellent for me over the years.)
I mostly agree with your take over Mamet's, but that's how Mamet views capitalism.

Here's Mamet on the themes in the play:
http://www.upstartfilmcollective.com/portfolios/jcharnick/ma...

The play concerns how business corrupts, how the hierarchical business system tends to corrupt. It becomes legitimate for those in power in the business world to act unethically. The effect on the little guy is that he turns to crime. And petty crime goes punished; major crimes go unpunished. If someone wants to destroy Manhattan for personal gain, they call him a great man. Look at Delorean. He completely raped everybody in Northern Ireland with that scheme
...
a lot of business in this country is founded on the idea that if you don't exploit the possible opportunity, not only are you being silly, but in many cases you're being negligent, even legally negligent.

He seems to be of the opinion that it's a corrupt system, and that people in the system are inevitably corrupted:
http://www.hanknuwer.com/writing/hankanddavid.html

This play is very much about work and about how one is altered by one's job.
...
I felt he was doing his job--doing the job of a sales manager. The job of a sales manager is not to empathize. Irrespective of whether or not it's a "good" job or whether he likes his job is not the point; his job is to inspire, frighten, tempt, cajole, and do any other thing he can do to increase sales. When things fall apart he indulges in the very human propensity to play catch-up ball; because people have been abusing him throughout the play.

I like Mamet's work, but, in general, I try to avoid listening when authors and artists talk about politics, because they're usually not better informed than the average freshman in a poli-sci or econ class, and that colors my view of their work. I was pleasantly surprised to find that Mamet's view is nuanced. He specifically says "a lot of business", and I can't disagree there, though we would probably disagree on the precise meaning of "a lot".

I suspect a lot of that is a generational gap. When I look around and I see swombat-style salesmen competing with Mamet-style salesmen, I see Mamet-style businesses getting wiped out. CarMax is cleaning up by getting rid of high pressure sales tactics. It's so bad that around here, multiple car dealerships that used to employ armies of annoying sales people (which I know from firsthand experience) have taken out billboards saying they'll match CarMax's prices and that their sales people no longer work on commission. Barnes & Noble and Borders wiped out traditional booksellers by providing a better experience, and they're getting wiped out by amazon providing an even more convenient experience. I could go on for pages with examples off the top of my head, but I have to really think to come up with examples where a business with a 'traditional' sales model of conning people into something they don't want is eating the lunch of a business that's really trying to give people what they want.
Short version: it doesn't make sense.

Longer: Oberth effect says you want to do the thrusting at max speed, not "deep in the gravity well". Often they coincide but they're not the same thing.

Even longer: If you want to use the Oberth effect, you want to go into a highly eccentric elliptic orbit with a low perigee. (Ie non-circular.) Then you do your thrusting at the perigee. Your apogee is still at high altitude. The perigee burn happens at high speed and actually raises the apogee.

You can think of it this way: if you shut down your engines right now, you are in an orbit that returns to the same point. So perigee burns can only raise apogee and apogee burns can only raise perigee. (If we talk about elliptic orbits.)

Mercury is in a low circular orbit. It does not really help to go to an orbit with a low apogee, with the ultimate goal of raising apogee!

You might use a sun slingshot by lowering your perigee but your apogee would still be at earth orbit. That would mean you would cross Mercury's orbit, but with a very high speed. You couldn't stop at Mercury (match speeds with it). Then you'd do a quick high thrust burn at high speed near perigee.

All this is in vain though since for 0.1 c magnitude velocities (30,000 km/s), if you had humans, you would have to thrust for weeks to keep acceleration below say 2 g and the gravity slingshot would be meaningless anyway as the speeds are so low, these are phenomena from totally different worlds. Earth's orbital velocity is 30 km/s and Mercury's 60 km/s. Thousand fold difference.

It's like saying building rocket launchpad on a 300 m high hill is useful since you're then closer to space.

Linkbait aside, if Apple's gross margin is decreasing, which it looks like it is, its most likely because of the iPad which carries a lower profit margin. So when iPad sales become a larger portion of total sales, gross margin goes down while total profits still go up.
"Err" is correct. Your belief is mistaken. I commented upon the topic at hand.
As mainstream art and design in particular goes, I'd agree completely. Loads of feedback from beholders is what has made me much better designer, probably by orders of magnitutde, if such numerical property could be applied.
I refuse to believe in such an argument that some people just can't do something.
Some people just need _more_ time to get around the art way of thinking. In the case of music it maybe has to do with lack of early (as a child) exposure to more intricate music forms.

More complex programming also involves the grasp of a not evident way of thinking, so carrying on with your argument some people just can't understand why it doesn't work as expected.
I was going to down-vote this, but if you skip out your insults, your information is likely worthwhile. Your comment would have been far better without all the extra attacking gumph, which adds nothing and makes you less likely to be taken seriously.

The only sexism evident here is your own. Why did you assume that "mom" is the dominant descriptor in the term "mommy blogger" rather than "blogger" or the whole term? Why did you jump on the chance to cry sexism without knowing the definition of the term you were taking issue with? "Mommy blogger" is a term with a specific meaning, not just a synonym for mother.

It seems that the language police have been ramping up their efforts recently on HN. That is extremely unfortunate. Reading comments would be a much better experience if the pseudo-causeheads would at least attempt a rational discourse.

My prompt is usually the system default, because I work across multiple systems, some of which don't even have bash (let alone zsh), and changing it seems unnecessary. 'wi' is just there to remind me where I am once in a while.

My general philosophy is to deal with whatever is the default and not become reliant on customisations because other systems I'll be required to use won't have any of them set up.
Agreed, canvas works well now, but WebGL is younger than canvas, and this gives a hint at what WebGL will look like tomorrow.

What's more today the first cause of WebGL not working lies more in the graphics card periphery. OpenGL drivers on Windows are often an aftertought given DirectX prevalence, and on Linux some drivers are simply unstable with 3D acceleration, regardless of WebGL. Besides, short of software fallbacks like llvm-pipe or OSX, you can't invent features not supported by the card. Onve overriden[2] WebGL actually works[0][1] well on my embedded HD2000, but bugs in the driver make the whole thing randomly unstable, hence it is blacklisted by browsers (chrome://gpu even lists and links to bug reports, and lists Flash Stage3D as blacklisted too).

As for number counting, while the number of people running into WebGL problems exists, it has been drastically reduced since a year ago, when the number of people running into Flash problems for years, and is not shrinking.

ALso, there's not just graphics on X-Type, but correctly timed HTML5 audio too.

Ok, so I've heard about Guile, but never really paid it any attention. The home page is interesting, but doesn't reference any newbie guides for people like me.

They seem to have a JavaScript compiler front end, does this mean that by implementing Guile in your program you could use js to enhance your app?

Next question: if you had a web based app, could you use Guile to extend the site?

you´re right. the interface is kind of broken here. we have to fix this asap
You just answered your own question. Look at the thing you want to draw, and break it down into main mass components. Base this on the connection points, or major angle changes where the components connect. So for a car, you could start with 5 random rectangles: The hood, windshield, the body, rear window and the trunk. All the same size to start because you only want to break it down where there is an angle change.

If you want to learn this, then take a look at human figure studies. They will show you the exact same concept, but with ovals. Draw 30,000, and I guarantee that your 30,001st won't make somebody puke.

Yes. Welcome to 21st century government paranoia, control and self service. Never forget, they only do this to protect us...

Which is true. The public go completely OTT bat shit mental the split second something happens, and governments respond with equally bat shit mental policies. And "we" love it. "We" vote for it.

When the general public say no on mass it will stop and be reversed. Sad fact is, "we" support this, torture and all, as long as we have money for throwaway Chinese consumer garbage.

I agree there isn't any real insight. I've often wondered, however, how a (relatively) lower profit margin would affect Apple. They seem to be banking the profits at this point. So, would the net effect just be $10B less in the bank, or would it actually change their operation?

And, if that change _would_ effect their edge on innovation?

That's exactly what I was looking for.

Mamet's point holds true to this day. Take any high-pressure sales role. Your employer doesn't care how much benefit you've added to peoples lives, they care about the numbers. Customer satisfaction isn't indicative of a job well done in sales, quantity is. Whilst this concept seems blatantly immoral, it's reality.

Swombats post was aimed at start-ups and his point that someone selling on behalf of a start-up should truly believe in their product is spot on however, in the big, bad corporate world it becomes irrelevant.

"In these languages you can "deploy" the solution by just unzipping files into a folder. Django and Rails need a lot more work."

Totally agree with this. It also smells like an opportunity for someone. In the age of Heroku, it feels like the process should be a lot easier. I.e.:

* Download a Django or Rails based CSM.

* Create a Heroku account

* ./manage.py deploy_heroku

* Profit
