Or it is possible if someone gets a new phone and doesn't restore off the current backup in iCloud it will make a separate one which will go over 5gig.

To be fair most services have to force you to do something one you have ran through your free space.
I have this argument with people a lot. I'm surprised that nobody talks about serving multiple applications from the same service layer. Sure, you can have a web app and then a separate API for mobile clients, but why not just have a RESTful interface that can be used by all of them?

This doesn't necessarily mean that you can't still do server-side views if you wanted to. But by separating the view rendering from the service layer you provide a bit more flexibility. Designed correctly, the argument becomes moot. Either you're creating a controller, models, and event callbacks on the server, or you're creating them on the client. Client-side javascript frameworks are getting so much better that it really just comes down to finding the best tools for your team.
I do like the content so far, but this isn't really a Q&A...it's more of a WikiAnswers, isn't it?

The good thing about StackOverflow is that, when in doubt, you can always use a user's score/comment history to gauge their credibility (though yes, that is an argument by appeal to authority...)

With Slant, the tracing of comments/submissions is as hard as it is on Wikipedia.

And the "the answer must be in article-ish form" has its disadvantages, of course, not least of which is that some of the best answers come through repartee, as they have in StackOverflow.

Also, I'm not sold on the font. It's not great at small sizes and you may want to stick with a sans-serif.
I believe there are many more people with sufficient qualifications than there are board seats for them to sit on. They don't all need to be past CEOs, just ethical people with business experience and good sense. And frankly, it wouldn't hurt to trim the size of the average board, if it really becomes a problem.

The newest frameworks (Derby/Meteor) can execute JS on the server side to generate crawlable pages while serving client-side JS for regular browsers. Also, anchors are obsolete; people should be using real URLs.

Really, running your own email server is a bad idea for most people.

Even on HN it's only good as a learning exercise or for a small number of people who have the use for it.

The problem isn't with the length of time it takes to set it up. The problem is with making sure you have all the quirks sorted out so your mail can get delivered through other people's set ups.
None of them are actually too good IMO. They are either super opinionated or don't remove the pain points in common web dev.

Still waiting for something like Express in Go but I doubt it'll happen. I don't think anyone is serious about web development with Go based on what I see in the IRC channel and newsgroup on a daily basis, the lack of libs doesn't help either.

Edit:
I want to add that I attempted to step up and learn Go as I made a web lib similar to Express. I had a little success but most of the time the people on the IRC channel weren't very helpful.

Most people didn't understand the need for such a lib (something like Express), it's just a bunch of people parroting "it's so easy in Go, you don't need a lib!" but these are people who never built a single web app in their entire life or going into attack mode saying anyone who needs a super light weight lib is some type of scrub developer.

It made me instantly turn my shoulder to the Go community and it'll take some pretty good libs to make me change my mind because in the end getting stuff done is the only thing that matters and Go + reasonable web dev isn't close to solving that problem yet.
Or skydiving with a camera if you look down. Oh dear don't look down it's a misdemeanor!
Many times, ideas start out as super crazy simply so they can be reeled back in to the degree they really want. For example - they could back-up from "complete ban" to "must have a license/permit" and wrap some bureaucratic process around any non-governmental drone programs.

This could be a ruse to get some iterations done - they start with a drastic one to measure the reactionary sentiment to see what they can get away with.

It's faster because it's not interpreted until it's actually being used. Think of all these mustache templates or display: none elements that are not needed on page load.

I'm just weary of all the gesticulating. The conversation isn't even about the right thing. This guy presumably had friends - where were they? They failed him. But all the talk is about projecting it onto someone else.

Why do they do this? Because after years of cheering on this manic-depressive guy, laughing at his antics and ignoring his crashes, his cohort hopefully feel shame at their part in egging him on to ultimately irresponsible acts.
The "least rewarding" phrase was somewhat hyperbolic, but read the other comments to see how cheap, near-sighted and self-entitled target demographic can be. "I am not paying $70 for the goddamn editor. How is it even better than vim??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!"

I imagine that some of the people working on those cyberweapons also read HN. I wish they could talk more about it (wink wink).
Proprietary IM networks are just that. Email is based on standards, with RFC's defining behavior. Moreover, proprietary IM is based on a some level of membership in that network. Email is open and often involves individuals outside of Apple's iCloud network, users who haven't agreed with Apple to any terms of service or the like.
People lose their hair color due (primarily) to a lack of catalase, which normally removes hydrogen peroxide. It is now thought that much of this work is done during sleep. So, assuming this theory is true, a lack of sleep (an effect every president has mentioned) does cause people to go gray.
I don't recommend this approach since it is quite unreliable, as shown here:

NY Times, others back AP lawsuit against Meltwater
Lets say, I come to you and ask for $1000. If you don't pay me before March 1st, 2013, I'll send you a reminder. If you don't send money within a week, I'll send you another reminder. If you still don't send money, I'll ask a friend of mine to come to your door and politely ask again. If you still reject my "offer", I'll send another friend with a gun who will ask you again. If you don't open the door, he will kick it out and search for money in your house. If you try to stop him, he will kill you. As a last resort, of course.

We both know that we know the whole chain of threats. Doesn't my demand for your money equate with physical violence? If not, how short should be the chain of such persuasion until the gunpoint, so it's considered equal to threat of physical violence?
I tried it out on an app I'm building. A few notes:

1. The documentation is pretty lacking IMO. I would really like to see a unified "This is every option available to you" section. I have to dig through the code to figure out what is and isn't available.

2. Please do the docs in Javascript, otherwise it is very difficult to notice that you're actually passing TWO objects to $.globalMessenger.do().

3. A few of the code examples don't run, and a few don't look like they're meant to run. These should be in a separate 'notes' section (along with the options!)

4. Just an FYI, to get this to work with Backbone.LayoutManager I had to add manage:false to the Messenger and Message classes.

5. Why is the counter hidden in the future theme?

All in all a pretty solid library! Clearer documentation would do wonders but I am enjoying it so far. I really like the delay implementation, especially.
Hi Mate,

> With Slant, the tracing of comments/submissions is as hard as it is on Wikipedia.

We are building an "authority" SO style karma system, and unlike Wikipedia you can easily see who is a contributor to a post. This is something we agree is really important, but just didn't make the cut for the Alpha product. Please also note that your edits need to be initially approved by the existing contributors, which helps keep quality high and helps you trust the content.

> I do like the content so far, but this isn't really a Q&A...it's more of a WikiAnswers, isn't it?

Well there are questions asked and answers listed.. but you're right in that it's not really Q&A. Someone the other day told me it was "Q&Os" (Question and opinions)
Well nothing works forever on a warship anyways, and the Navy is already very big on Preventative Maintenance (i.e. "fix it until it's broke"). So any plan assuming that a system will stay up for an entire deployment is negligent from the start; you might as well practice having to reboot the system from that perspective.

In my opinion a degree is not necessary to get a good job or to succeed in the software industry. However a degree does make some other things easier and there are a few things to consider:
Immigration is one that others have mentioned. Here in the US it can be fairly difficult (not impossible though) to hire a programmer from outside of the country if they do not have any academic credentials.
You can certainly build a portfolio of released software that can generate as many or more opportunities than a degree, but it is easier to understand exactly how to accomplish a university degree and how much effort it will take. It might be harder than you think to build a great portfolio.
The signaling value of a degree is fairly well understood. You are communicating your intelligence and some measure of what kinds of things you can accomplish in a very easy to understand way by getting a degree.
But honestly, from my point of view if you release a bunch of software, find users, and make them happy you will be far ahead of anyone who only has a degree (in terms of being interesting to recruit). I think lots of people think a degree will solve this for them, but education is just a start.
Also, it's worth mentioning that I quite enjoyed getting my degree. It sounds like you aren't excited about it, but going to college is a really fun set of experiences for many people. After having done it, I think it was worth doing just for those experiences.
I hate that movie. I've never seen it but now it's the first page of search about half the time when I'm googling development issues with the real Django :-)
Compare cars from even a decade ago to what we have now. Far more features in safety, comfort, economy. Are they less reliable? Maybe/maybe not. See this (sources cited on Page 3): http://auto.howstuffworks.com/under-the-hood/diagnosing-car-...

Car manufacturers could've easily stopped innovating and bettering the automobile eons ago, thinking it works and does what it's supposed to so what's the point. (Sure they did it for profit and not purely for the sake of innovation, but who doesn't?) But they didn't, which is why we have the Tesla Model S and Honda FCX and much more today to marvel at.

And if you tell me that the law is a magical piece of paper that transforms morality of people it describes, then how it is different from my personal law written on my own magical piece of paper?

The difference here is that I do not propose killing you because I have no idea how can that be justified (even in a self-defense case - I'll just have no choice, but when there is no choice, there is no capacity for being moral or immoral). But others think they can justify the violence and build the whole concept of justice on top of it. Which is rather immoral because their justification is very far from being 100% logical, solid and accepted by everyone.
I agree. You always need a clean api to allow for multiple front-ends and to have a secure boundary layer between trusted and untrusted data. Even if the rendering happens on the server, you should always start with an api.

I work on a 400 kloc app developed with a client-side mvc + web services architecture. The nice thing I've learnt about having a proper services api is that slapping another front-end on top of it is straightforward. We've had a relatively easy time building mobile apps thanks to having the service api ready. And because the core app is built around the same services, they are less likely to break.
It's beyond that -- they actually have created a market for the trading of 0-days, and bid against each other using various proxies.
> If you forget to re-enable Gatekeeper, you're hosed

Let's not exaggerate. Everyone got by perfectly well for years and years just using common sense about what to install. Gatekeeper is a welcome layer of defense but I doubt many experienced users would be "hosed" without it.
I'd say that's far outweighed by users complaining that they get odd errors when they try to install the app when it's in a half-propagated state. Heck there was a 5-page macrumors thread of people keeping each other updated on what fun error the Mac App Store was telling them for each country when Mountain Lion was being released. Took a day for it to propagate.

If Amazon CloudFront worked that poorly at replication, everyone would rightly tear them a new one.

"Never eating wheat means I can't easily go out with others to eat"

I donno man, obviously we've gone over this ground with my son rather intensely as you might imagine with a grade school kid wanting to go out like/with his friends.

If its a VERY small town yes you might be screwed but his dining choices have been stuff like:

Steak dinner with all the fixings hold the garlic bread.

"grilled meats" on a salad (grilled chicken ceasar salad no croutons is pretty stereotypical)

"lets hit the salad bar"

As for "basically can't do fast food"

Grilled stuff is not breaded. Screwed on fish fry friday night. On the other hand the local BBQ joint will serve him anything, just not on bread. Cajun stuff on rice is good.

Look for low/no carb option even if not heavily advertised/promoted they'll probably do it anyway, just like they'll serve you a chocolate shake even if its never been in a TV ad... Culvers etc will toss a slice of meat on a bed of shredded lettuce. One thing to look out for is some places will fry their french fries in the same oil as they cook wheat stuff, while others will not, while others will tell you its safe but he gets sick anyway.

Yeah taco bell and KFC you're pretty much SOL. On the other hand other than the rolls he does pretty well with almost everything at boston market. Pasta houses like olive garden yeah you're pretty much SOL there too. OTOH the local non-chain non-corporate genuine italian family restaurant has started serving fresh GF pizzas and they taste good.

We've gone to a couple buffet type places and chunks of meat and fish and salads and fruits tend to be pretty good.

If its not breaded, not pasta, and not on a bun you're Probably good plus or minus fillers, flavorings, and contamination.

"So it's a huge social handicap."

Yeah on the no beer thing. In a decade when my son can drink he's going to have to be a rum -n- coke guy like his old man.

"can't eat most desserts"

"Fruit, the original dessert"
Bananas Foster aka flambe bananas
Ice cream in a dish not a cone.
Strawberries and cream
Chocolate dipped anything. Chocolate dipped everything.
Sherbets and ices and all manner of frozen and gelled creations.
I am well over the drinking age so this may or may not apply, also I'm an old married guy so I don't give a F what people see me drinking, so I'll admit I like a little glass of sweet fruit wine for desert or one of those icy "girlie" booze drinks for dessert. If you don't like the taste of a well made grasshopper or a fine sweet cherry wine there's obviously something wrong with you, and I don't need to care if only girls are supposed to drink that stuff. If I made chicken cooked in wine sauce or whatever the leftovers get sipped for dessert.

The stuff you can't eat is cakes, pies, cookies, ice cream cones and not much else.

Look on the bright side, my son is allergic to milk too, so exclude dairy then you're really in for it at dessert time.

Yes, "Barely legal" is used by many legal pornographers.

The article suggests some connection between the phrase "barely legal" and images of child sexual abuse.

It's clear that "barely legal" has a well-established meaning of "absolutely legal; documented adults; no chance of being under age". The article failed to establish a connection between the term "barely legal" and images of child sexual abuse.
I would love to go to college. The problem is that there are no great schools in Hungary. The schools and the government are both proud that they're preparing the students for the job market. That's it.

There isn't a specific place I want to go to. It's easy to work in another EU country so those are on the top of my imaginary list, but I wouldn't have any problem with the US, or Canada either. Is there a reason why you don't like the idea of moving there?
I used to be a "cross on my own terms" type. Then I moved to Seattle.

On my first day exploring downtown, I crossed when no cars were coming (or even approaching from far away) and got dirty looks from the gaggle of Seattlites in front of me waiting for the signal to change. (It did finally change as I stepped onto the opposite sidewalk.) After a few weeks, I just stopped putting myself in the spotlight like that.

Now, when I go back to NYC, people seem irritated when I forget where I am and stand there waiting.
