No, IE 10 has IE 5.5 (quirks — IE6 was where quirks mode was introduced), IE7 "Standards Mode", IE8 "Standards Mode", IE9 "Standards Mode", IE10 "Quirks Mode", and IE10 "Standards Mode".

I guess this is one of those YMMV cases. I could never deliver to hotmail addresses no matter how many hoops I jumped through.

Also: how do you know you've never had deliverability issues? If the server on the receiving end is blocking your mail it will happen silently.
I don't know how they have it set up, but the laziest way to block pages is to add them to /etc/hosts mapping them to 127.0.0.1 . If you do that in OS X and Web Sharing (apache) is enabled (and it might be on their machines, although I hear Mountain Lion got rid of it?), then navigating to http://blocksite.com/whatever.html will give a 404 unless the web sharing directory actually contains the file "whatever.html". So it's very likely a simple matter of a lazy configuration rather than a nefarious attempt to make you think that the blocked site doesn't exist (which, really, what would be the motivation there?).

Is anyone planning on some sort of support for .litcoffee in docco? It'd be awesome if docco could compile the markdown documents into HTML files and keep that swell dropdown navigation in the top right hand corner available. Generating docs as I was in my earlier projects seems to be the only gap. Otherwise I'm using litcoffee on a current client project and really loving it!
At some level, these problems are all solvable within yourself.

First, acknowledge that it's not your job's responsibility to provide you with any of these things. Your job doesn't have to provide you with meaning, or with attractive and intelligent and compelling coworkers, or with a spa-like work environment. All your job has to provide you with is a paycheck, and everything else is negotiable. It's up to you to demand, take, or find elsewhere, the other things you want.

Order a standing desk and foam pad and expense them. Don't ask, just do it. Take fifteen minute breaks every couple of hours. Don't ask, just do it. Pack a healthy lunch every morning, take time to make yourself something nice, package it up attractively, then walk to the nearest park to eat it, every day, taking a full hour or 90 minutes to do so. Don't ask, just do it. Bring a book and leave your smartphone on your desk. Show up at 9, be at your meetings on time, get your work done, leave at 5. Don't ask, just do it. Read "How to Live on 24 Hours a Day" by Arnold Bennett. You have eight more hours in the day that you're not using wisely if all you're talking about here is your day job.

And all of that is well and good, but it won't fix the root problem, which is understanding why you're in a day job in the first place.

A day job is two levels of abstraction which you have chosen to participate in, because it supposedly beats hunting wild animals, sleeping in caves, risking getting eaten alive or dying young of an injury, and having to literally fight for a mate.

A day job has its down sides: you are twice disconnected from the "real" activities that biologically keep you alive and make you feel alive: hunting, eating, having shelter, procreating. You don't forage for food any more, you sit at a desk and earn a paycheck, and then you go buy food. You don't even have to budget more than a week or two, because, hey, there's that next paycheck.

Freelancing, at least, is an abstraction only one level deep, because you forage for clients, and you have to budget extremely well to survive client famine periods.

I'm not saying quit and go freelance. I'm saying understand why you're in the day job, put it in the right context in your life, and realize that it's there to support your search for meaning, socialization, and health in the other eight waking hours, and other sixteen total hours, of your day.
Most challenges faced across the global are cultural and linguistic in nature. The heavy dependence on English is a huge barrier to most children and young adults out there. All my attempts to introduce young cousins and nephews to coding failed because they are at the stage where anything not in their own tongue is unfathomable. I looked into making a small ny-own-dialect-based mini language but it seemed that a better approach is to simply translate existing well designed and well maintained efforts such as Alice. Any idea on how to begin doing that or whether a similar translation project is underway?

I saw a scary presentation by Adam Laurie about 5 years back where he hacked in to a hotel server via infra-red in the room. The infra-red offered full KVM and the ability to see all guest's personal information, as well as see what they were watching on their screen (ie. reliably detect their presence or lack of in a given room, remotely). I doubt that era of systems have all been upgraded.
What? I am. I'm the author of the post.
Coding is probably the easier one to achieve. Very few people have an interest in making sure you never learn to code.
Freedom box has talked and hopefully worked on doing this, but Im not sure if they have gotten as far as improving the interface of a webmail yet.

Still, I do think there exist some very talented grafic designers out there that would enjoy playing around with a webmail interface. Hopefully, articles like this will increase the demand and interest in run-it-your-self webmail packages, so one would do that and not spend all focus on building more CMSes.

The most-impressive research projects I'm aware of are from a few years ago.

It is highly unusual to use NoSQL as the main data store in Django (so much of the built-in functionality requires relational databases, so you end up net-negative). Most Django folks augment their relational database with some NoSQL bits.

We've been big fans of storing core data in Django models, but using things like key/value stores to store random extra bits that aren't exactly core to the model. Redis is great for this, or another model as triple store style GenericRelation if you need to query on it.

I don't imagine the nonrel branch will move again, its such a departure from core Django. Look into using Flask, as there aren't many "mature" frameworks that do NoSQL core.
That series of demos shure puts a few old bedbugs to rest.

(Sorry analog purists)
I wonder if perhaps your people just don't have much exposure, because the templating in Django is awful compared to Mako/Jinja2, the ORM in Django is awful compared SQLAlchemy, and most of the useful features of Django are easily available in Pyramid or Flask, yet these systems are unobtrusive and simple. Django has a monstrous "middleware" piece and a bunch of other cruft that is really just bothersome dead weight. It's not that there's no use for it, it's just that similar things are accomplished in much more concise, fast ways in other frameworks.

Not to hate on Django, jacobian, or the LJ-World, I appreciate the effort put into the system. But I don't think it really has much to offer in present-day for people developing new, serious platforms. I feel the same way about most other "full-fledged" MVC frameworks, because they all seem to far exceed what ought to be the logical bounds of their influence. In many cases you feel like you're writing Django, Cake, or Rails and not writing the actual language based on, because these frameworks mandate so much and require special integration to do much of anything. In something like Pyramid, you write Python, and Pyramid provides the pieces that make it easy to bundle together and publish as a website.

I've had positive experiences with Sinatra, too. "Microframeworks" and close cousins like Pyramid are really much more appropriate dev platforms, imo: modular, unpretentious, exist simply to help you get your program onto the web in a fast, concise, and simple way, without attempting to inject a rewrite of the standard lib or force you to conform to their unique flavor of MVC, their crappy ORM, etc.
> I merely pointed out that public prosecutions should only proceed if they are in the public interest.

Sure, everyone agrees on the tautology, just like no one in Washington claims to like "Big Government" or wasteful spending.

If one considers it in the public interest to ensure that those with advanced computer skills do not use those skills to essentially write their own laws, then it's not hard to see why prosecutors like Ortiz and Heymann would consider it necessary to bring charges against Swartz.

It's "cybercrime", which they are responsible for prosecuting, the suspect has a manifesto indicating that this won't just be a one-off affair, the suspect has in fact done stuff like this before at a lesser scale, etc. etc.

Now you or I might say that it's all for a good cause and that we can trust Aaron not to do anything actually seriously malicious, but I can also see why a reasonable Federal prosecutor just doing their job would not agree.

That's not to say Ortiz has clean hands on all of this, just that there really is a plausible "public interest" reasoning to charging Swartz with something. If Swartz were allowed to continue unfettered where would it end (when you answer this remember that you're a lawyer, not a computer expert)?

It's easy to say that IP law is stupid in a world of patent trolls and continuously-expanding copyright for corporations but that doesn't mean the right answer is to burn the whole building down.

For instance, how did Swartz verify that he only downloaded publicly-funded articles? How much collateral damage is acceptable in the name of Open Access?

Swartz may have had answers to all these questions but they're questions none-the-less, and questions I would expect that a reasonable U.S. prosecutor might have as well.
I am glad to share my experience. If you end up learning from my mistake, I am happy for it. The sad thing is that I was thinking that I was doing it right: I had the whole freemium thing with individuals using the free version and larger entities going for the paid accounts. Turns out that if there is a large competitor in the space it doesn't matter that they are twice as expensive for their cheapest plan: a business will go with them because of the reputation. In fact, I think their price point makes people feel more comfortable. My paid plan was $4/month (vs PingDom's $9), but I think that's what made it seem like the cheaper alternative. But the biggest problem was that the free plan was too good. It should have lasted for 30 days and then automatically started charging for the premium service.

Anyways, good luck!

Defining the Sales and Marketing Funnel
There always seems to be a good amount of confusion around the terminology used in the Sales and Marketing funnel and CRM systems. We’ve written this article to help clarify the terms used in the Sales and Marketing funnel by looking at the steps in each funnel as well as a potential customers buying process.
I did a 4+1 program and got my Master's in 1 year which helped on the cost front. It ended up allowing me to go for jobs which were only available to Master's and PhD graduates which got me the money break even paying for the the extra year in 2 years of work.

For me things worked out b/c I went to work for a Big Corp which paid Master's holders more. If you want to go work for most of the companies you see on HN, then it probably isn't worth it.

The biggest issue is your domain getting blacklisted for whatever reason. It may look like the name of another spammer's domain name. The server you rent may be colocated on a rack with a spammer's box (or a box owned by spammers) and have weird reverse IP SNAFUs. Your very server may not have the latest 0-day patch and bet 0wned by script kiddies and, bam, again... Blacklisted.

Note that I do NOT know much about email servers and that is precisely the point. I eat iptables rules for breakfast, I can set up a Debian server from scratch and I can certainly configure a mail server. But there's more to it than meets the eye. Been there, done that. And we got burn.

I don't know "why", but all I know is that we had problems!

tl;dr: 30 team person startup and we tried to use our own mail server. Too many problems. We moved to Google Apps for domain and all our problems were fixed...
I don't know, I don't think it comes down too hard on that point. I read it as some people think she's a weak manager, but it also describes weak cases that were charged whole-hog. I think it's probably a matter of interpretation and context whether the things in the article are a form of soft-pedaling for career's sake, bad lawyering, or misplaced priorities within the DOJ, or etc. It may have been a bit better of a study of her landscape if they had included Stephen Heymann in their reportage.
Is it just me, or is it simpler to go back to wsgi middleware plain and simple?

I am getting turned off left right and centre by frameworks - Django and even Flask just make reasoning about the request/response more difficult.

Making Internet Explorer Testing Easier with new IE VMs
You've described "Whatever" by Michel Houellbecq. I recommend reading it, but it won't make you feel better about your situation.

If you feel this way there's not much you can do besides leave the industry. In my experience, some people get rich, the eccentric co-worker types plod along forever until they are laid off 300 pounds later, and everyone sort of "normal" disappears off the face of the earth.

Unfortunately, rationalism is needed to prove rationalism, and once science is "accepted fact" and we all accept things like "round", "sphere", and "Earth" then we assume we have made progress.

But, there is not a single fact that could not be disproved by more evidence. Even "the Earth is round" could be proven to be wrong and we consider it part amorphous-hyperconical-hypertubular in the future, or perhaps we prove scientifically that we live in a simulation/a game and the universe, shapes, Earth, etc. is a simple allusion, comparable to the blocky pixel graphics in old Atari 2600 games.

Please read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulation_hypothesis

While it is certainly possible that we understand one or more eternal truths that span all that exists in every dimension and every universe, considering the age, maturity, and abilities of the human race, it is extremely doubtful that we have made much progress or that we ever will. Science is great when approached from the standpoint of wonder and discovery, but it is terrible when it comes to "truth". Don't believe me? There is a whole religion devoted to the belief system that many are infected or affected by aliens (Scientology); many accept that this faith is based on a science fiction novel a.k.a. fiction, but many believe it is true. In the same way, many are convinced that science has elucidated truths, even though we don't know that it has or ever will. Yet, you accept science as truth in part. That is an irrational belief because the only way to accept it as rational is to have faith that it is rational. Rationalism is nothing without faith, but faith exists without rationalism.
> "our status is low-- we still work for managers; we're a defeated tribe in this way"

As a fairly senior developer, I just can't fathom this attitude. Working for a manager means you're low status or defeated? I want to work for a manager. Reward me and give me autonomy and respect due a valuable developer, sure, but please do all that management shit for me. In my mind (and at every single company I've ever worked at), the guys who actually build stuff are high status.
What if there were images on, say, AWS that let you spin up a mailbox instance? Packaging up a standard "I want a mailserver" system might be doable.

If they are young, its the optimum time for language acquisition. So, it may be easier (and have more side benefits) to teach them English and then programming rather than creating a customized programming environment catering to their native language to use to teach them programming.
ICVT actually developed some interesting algorithms, but it's a shame they're letting marketing hyperbole overshadow it. Another case where technical innovation doesn't sell, I guess.
Couldn't resist posting my favourite OO quote again!

I think the lack of reusability comes in object-oriented languages, not in functional languages. Because the problem with object-oriented languages is they've got all this implicit environment that they carry around with them. You wanted a banana but what you got was a gorilla holding the banana and the entire jungle. If you have referentially transparent code, if you have pure functions-all the data comes in its input arguments and everything goes out and leaves no state behind-it's incredibly reusable. You can just reuse it here, there, and everywhere. When you want to use it in a different project, you just cut and paste this code into your new project. Programmers have been conned into using all these different programming languages and they've been conned into not using easy ways to connect programs together. The Unix pipe mechanism-pipe B pipe C-is trivially easy to connect things together. Is that how programmers connect things together? No. They use APIs and they link them into the same memory space, which is appallingly difficult and isn't cross-language. If the language is in the same family it's OK-if they're imperative languages, that's fine. But suppose one is Prolog and the other is C. They have a completely different view of the world, how you handle memory. So you can't just link them together like that. You can't reuse things. - Joe Armstrong in Peter Seibel's Coders at Work: Reflections on the Craft of Programming

404 is an accurate statement by the browser when the distinct hosts file maps xmission.com to localhost. A 503 error would be a forged response. 404 is the expected type of response with two separate modularized/encapsulated systems where the browser merely reports that it found nothing from the typed in URL. Saying that the site is "blocked" would involve creating a special facility just for this purpose.

I don't think this is at all like the ISP redirection pages that were more clearly non compliant with IETF internet standards.
America has a problem where if students were taught about proper financial management and making proper financial decisions the college system would fall apart, because students are expected to commit to huge debts that are often very questionable decisions. The system relies on students never understanding the magnitude of the debt they're committing to, spend 10 minutes reading the personal finance subreddits and it's shocking to see the $200,000 commitments 18 year olds were allowed to make for fluff degrees.

England lacks proper financial education too, it wasn't until I was 18 that I found out how taxes worked, up until 18 I thought the taxes paid were flat rate (eg: 20% on everything or 40% on everything, vs. 20% on the first x...). Recently the company I work for offered me a pension plan, after talking to a financial advisor I discovered just how valuable starting a pension young is, up until that day I thought a pension shouldn't be a consideration when young. Super simple and super important things, completely ignored by education.

Thankfully for England there is a really great consumer rights person called Martin Lewis that does a bunch of consumer finance things and recently he's been pressuring the government to introduced compulsory financial education to schools and it very recently was confirmed there will now be compulsory financial education in British schools: http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/news/family/2013/02/financi...
