Very often yes, when you consider that the "better" question is not one-dimensional. Rails and Django are good at building traditional web apps where the logic and data live on the server. They have less to offer on the client side, where JS frameworks like Backbone, Angular, and Ember crop up. They also don't do async well out of the box, which you want if you're going to do streaming updates in real time. So node.js, EventMachine, and Gevent come along to solve that problem.

There are some very young frameworks (Meteor, Derby) trying to solve all the above problems at once. I haven't used them, but my impression is that they're not really there yet.

I think the underlying pain point from the article is that iOS and Android have the luxury of being able to iterate on the whole stack at the same time, which means they can move way more quickly than web standards, which can take years of argument and refinement, with disparate implementations in different browsers, which then get papered over in various ways by different client side libraries.
The better and higher resolution monitors I got the more fanatical I got about the 80 column rule. Why? Because I can split my code into vertical columns on the new fancy monitor. If code lines are 160 I can or have to constantly horizontally scroll them or live with random wrap-arounds.

Then the next up monitor I could do 3 columns, so I still stuck to the 80 column idea.

That's just wrong as a matter of historical fact. I feel fairly confident in asserting that race-based slavery constitutes a form of racism, and predates affirmative action by several centuries.

This is...almost certainly trolling, right?
Has anyone seen a situation like this before where it turns out Ted just wasn't really up to snuff as a team member? In my (limited) experience, this has never turned out to be a recoverable situation; the team basically hobbles along a) until Ted quits, b) until Ted is fired, c) forever.
Templated requirements and test plans. Fill in/extend the template to the needs of the project. In source,use project tag/ID for lines of interest.

Sometimes requirements documents explain more than the code or comments. IE: 12345_r.doc User needed X for 2012 tax reporting because of leap year due to the extra day in the year vs accounting's actual 30 day per month business rule.

Comments/code would say something along the lines of '/* Project 12345 - Check for leap year */ if tax report and year eq mod4, bit shift left topic 2'

It is outdated, but it works. Documents add accountability. Link in emails, project team, sign-offs, etc.

To counter all the neutral to negative feedback, I want to chime in and say I was very impressed. The execution speed with the aesthetics excite me.

Well, just because you can see roots, doesn't mean there aren't other deeper roots. Redwoods and Giant sequoias also have shallow root systems.
We're actually as interested as you in this. Doing data analysis on hipsters was fun, but we're hoping it's the start of much deeper and more meaningful studies. Joining our data with other macro- and micro-economic datasets will be awesome, as will looking at the data over time to build things like cost of living indices.

As to your chain question: they are included, and we're hoping to build a data explorer that lets folks like you filter down the data to make analyses more sound, as you suggest. You can do that sort of stuff right now on our API at http://dev.locu.com/. Let me know if you need help along the way!
It's not a long term solution, but gets you progress. If you're looking for a technical co-founder they'll want to see that you can execute. You can even start building on your own :)
The most definite thing that should be taken from a thread like this is that it usually boils down to personal preference. In fact I'd say that personal preference in these matters should take at least as much preference as any available emperical studies. If you're in a group, and you don't get your way in the coding standards meeting, accept it and move on. You can do it! :)
First, there are already multiple Firefox extensions that will let you totally control the Referer header. (In general, if there's something that you want to change about Firefox, you should search https://addons.mozilla.org to find a solution, because somebody's probably already created an extension that does what you want.) I think one such extension is called "RefControl."

I also brought up the issue on Mozilla's dev.privacy mailing list [1] recently. See:

https://groups.google.com/d/msg/mozilla.dev.privacy/wmPzPCdz...

In general, we cannot block the Referer header by default on cross-origin requests because we know that would break too many websites. My proposal is to strip the Referer header down to just the origin + '/', e.g. http://example.org/ instead of http://example.org/foo?search=whatever+you+searched+for.

I think it will be difficult for us to go further than that in the default configuration any time soon (and, as you can see in that thread, there's even some pushback to my extremely reasonable proposal).

Also, I know there is active work happening to bring extra control over the Referer header to Firefox's built-in prefs. This seems to be a little bit in conflict with our "Checkboxes that kill" project so I'm not sure how it will turn out.

In all seriousness, its a catch-all term, and I agree with you. Now go drink some High Life, put on some looser jeans, and go to a sports bar. And your fixed gear bicycle is an insult to the history of engineering.
Indeed, they've been caught using a bug to bypass the same restrictions in iOS.
Makes sense. The system for the "new Digg" seems to be heavily based on getting as much signal as possible about the popularity of particular news items among certain groups of users. Why wouldn't they want another signal source, especially given the "news junkie" tendencies of the population most likely to embrace such a service?

So, "sound" or "unsound"? It all depends on your point of view.

Not really. Either you're using Science-aligned methods for knowledge discovery or you're engaging in mental masturbation.

It's not a freaking rhetorical device to point out that every single time a woman speaks up about inappropriate behaviour, she ends up paying a terrible price in harassment, abuse, threats, and hatred.

It is theoretically possible to have a civil discussion about whether Richards went about reporting the inappropriate behaviour in the right way (and it is 100% clear that the PyCon organizers agreed the behaviour was inappropriate).

However, if you continue to evaluate what Richards did in denial of the abundant reality of insults, abuse, threats, hatred, contempt, ridicule, disdain, disregard that women in tech routinely face - and further, if you continue to ignore the fact that women are routinely punished with huge storms of abuse for speaking up about it - then you will remain oblivious to the fact that there is nothing "rhetorical" or "emotional" about pointing these facts out. You will, in effect, continue to be a part of the problem.
USA Citizen -> Tajikistan = "No information". Why present 'Tajikistan' as an option on the right side if there is no information in your database?

PBR is certainly not a popular beer with lower income drinkers. It's priced higher than comparable lagers. It didn't used to be, but then it became popular with a certain group of people.
I love that idea! I hadn't even thought of it. I definitely think that there is an intimidation factor at play when it comes to using his computer. I noticed a disused Samsung tablet when I was visiting with him last night. I asked in passing and he said there was "too much on it" but it immediately slipped my mind. I haven't played with it much myself, but I imagine I could probably lay his workspace out in a clean, uncluttered way and using chrome or any other browser that features most recently used sites, make it so he could, in a couple of clicks, be right in the midst of some forum or image site, or whatever. It's really in this moment that I'm understanding how far all of this tech has come in just a couple of years.

What the author of the article is advocating is to use a failing team member as a method of rallying support and cooperation from the rest of the team by publicly throwing them under the bus. This really is fairly effective, at least in the short term, and a large number of very successful leaders have used this practice well. Giving the rest of the team a common enemy and a 'mark' they need to make sure they stay ahead of is effective and commonly used in military training.

However, it's just morally awful and I doubt (hope?) it's not actually more effective than just building a team where you don't have to do this.

If an employee is consistently missing deadlines, it's the fault of whoever put that employee in that position - either the employee was mis-hired, the tasks given to the employee are not do-able with his skillset, he hasn't been given enough support to accomplish the task, etc. Criticizing in private is just as bad as in public here - you need to stop criticizing and fix the problem at the root cause!

Good points.

Ah! I saw that #define but didn't see the bit about failing on C++ objects that overload operator[]. I don't do C++ much so that really didn't occur to me.

I personally prefer sizeof(*(arr)), which is the same as arr[0], but I suppose C++ lets you overload that as well.
The article makes it pretty clear.

Third paragraph:

"...communications systems for real-time reporting on a bin’s capacity. By allowing municipalities to service the BigBellys only when they are full, they are saving hundreds of thousands of gallons of fuel annually across all BigBelly units."

My brother, when I taught him to use computers/the internet (done this for my Mother, Brother and now my Grampa) took to this method very well. Understanding the concepts let him do anything he wanted. I don't know if its a language gap, or what, but I haven't been able to reproduce that result with either my Mother or Grampa. With my Mother is was just a TON of written notes all around her laptop. She refers to them often, but has become pretty self-sufficient. I help here out probably once a week with something she's forgotten, but otherwise she's good to go.

My grampa, on the other hand, doesn't seem to maintain that sustained interest, or persistence that my Mother had. He clearly believes (correctly) that there is a whole world out here, that he would like to be a part of, but his patience for understanding the nature of the internet is nil.
Ask HN: How do you run away from a cofounder?
I started working with 2 other guys (founder B and C, with A being myself) March of 2012 on an idea that was originally B's. It took us a while but we realized C is a type of guy who just likes the idea of considering himself a "founder" but was not ready to put in any kind of hardwork. We stopped working with C around August, cut off all communications and took away his access to code and the common file/docs repository. We have added tons of code since then, pivoted couple of times (although our current idea is very much identifiable with the original), did some door-to-door sales and talked to customers and iterated on defining the product. His contribution has been insignificant in comparison: a few meetings leading to some design decisions, about 1% of all code (and that is not being used currently), little bit of IP that we are not using currently - that is about it.

All of a sudden, this guy wakes up and contacts us saying he wants to outsource development to some friend of his in India and wants to move this forward. I have moved on since then - my other co-founder B stepped back due to personal reasons and has given me his consent to move forward. I have found another co-founder I'm in talks with and just when things were beginning to roll, I hear from the long-forgotten C. What makes it difficult (or easy?) is we never registered as a formal company nor did we file any provisional patent. The IP is pretty thin and it is arguable whether there is anything patentable there. I fully understand it's all about execution and I have no issues with his running away with the idea and trying to do something - as long as he does not bother me now or later. How can I cut away from this guy cleanly? Would really appreciate any advice you guys may have.
Awesome product, but holy shit are you guys expensive for anyone who does volume.

3000 'minutes' uploaded for $200 ? Tell me thats a monthly allowance and not a one time fee? You better be using some fancy CDNs and having 10 different versions of my file in different resolutions for that price.

Maybe let people opt for no transcoding to bring the price down? I would never use you guys at the current price. A few open source scripts and a dedicated server at 100tb.com is 500 times cheaper.

In my case, I have mainly used it as a podcast listener. There has never been a really good podcast-dedicated site that suited me well. But Reader does. I can play a podcast in place, easily see visually when new ones were available, easily import new feeds if I couldn't find it via Reader, etc. I'm sad this is going away. Seems very arbitrary and unnecessary.
If you want to be honest you should rephrase your question and use "all native apps on all platforms" instead of "iOS+Android+whatever".

And then you would understand, that question makes no sense.
As others mention, your school may have a free legal clinic, especially if it has an associated law school. If not, other schools in the area, or a city/municipality, may have a similar clinic. Many top firms have their lawyers do some 'pro bono' work; the key is to find the intermediaries (like law clinics) who can match you up.

But also, when shopping for a lawyer you essentially get 15-60 minutes free with them as a pre-engagement discussion. You can learn a lot just by shopping around! And especially, you'll realize that lawyers vary a lot in their assessment of the issues and your options. (The 10th person you talk to may introduce yet another crucial point for a quick and low-cost resolution... so don't go with the 1st smooth talker!) You should prepare a written summary of the events from your perspective, to quickly get a potential advisor up to speed, and improve this summary over time when early conversations reveal important wrinkles.
The outcome is he walks away from it. Turns on the TV and tells me there is too much going on. You're the second to mention the idea of a car forum, and I think that may be a good starting point to at least establish something that would sustain his interest and to reward his desire to learn.

The establishment GOP gave Bush a pass on his deficit spending at the time. Only the nascent Tea Party criticized him for it then.

Hence I don't believe the establishment GOP anymore when they complain about Obama's deficit spending. One, it's self-serving not principled, and two, odds are if they win back power they'll deficit spend just like Bush and Obama, albeit while attempting to obfuscate it with artful accounting tricks (like spinning cutting ~$100B from the deficit over 10 years as a win).

They had their chance. They blew it, big.

> The windows on tall buildings don't open, which is not a coincidence. Humans can't survive for very long 50+ stories in the air either.

50+ stories is significantly less than the difference between my altitude and the altitude of many perfectly happy civilisations.

The reason windows don't open is that there are significant issues with cooling and regulating air pressure in a building that large. It has little to do with anything like oxygen concentration or even temperature.
I agree that abuse is rampant and bad, and that without laws many business owners will be abusive. I just think that MA argues a little too strongly for the contractor. And it is definitely something he or she will worry about, which was my point to OP.

In the case I mentioned, being a contractor was never an issue or a problem for the person. But when she was let go, she got pissed off and used her leverage for revenge.
