and sites, that use a logic like this http://www.example.com/357893857435/sfjsfsfsfd/this-should-b... where http://www.example.com/357893857435/sfjsfsfsfd/this-is-shoul... and http://www.example.com/357893857435/sfjsfsfsfd/tHIS-is-the-s... show the same page, oh and of course http://www.example.com/357893857435/sfjsfsfsfd also shows the same page.

oh, and cases where http://www.example.com/click1/click2/click3/item-id/123 show the same page as http://www.example.com/click1/item-id/123 which show the same page as http://www.example.com/click1/click2/click3/click4/item-id/1...

The internet isn't going away, nobody said so. But it's in danger to become a two-class internet full of service providers who a) pay to telekom for "managed services" or b) don't pay to telekom. I complain about not respecting "Netzneutralität".
I never understood why the continuation couldn't instead be addressed by a URL path. It could even get constructed from URL/query data if it moves out of memory, so keeping them in memory would only be a caching mechanism.
The Case for Using Mad Lib Sign Up Forms
It would be nice to see a POSIX.1-2008 section too -- many of the headers listed as "POSIX.1-2001 optional" are required in POSIX.1-2008. (e.g., <aio.h>, <cpio.h>, <dlfcn.h>, <iconv.h>, <langinfo.h>... and <pthread.h>, which is probably the most commonly used 2001-optional/2008-required header).

If crashing the user's computer could be grounds for a criminal case if would have very far-reaching consequences.

It's not "crashing the user's computer". The guy intentionally added hidden functionality to his company's software that he knew would cause an extremely high load on the client. It's the difference between a mistake and deliberate sabotage.

I don't think I created any controversy. The real controversy is whether you should use rebase or not.

I explicitly mentioned Modula-2 on my previous post and most languages on the list are actually done by Wirth or with his input.

Well, I consider systems programming languages with GC pretty innovative, given the way Native Oberon and Bluebottle were used in Zurich's Technical University. Even if the languages are pretty basic when compared with Ada or Delphi.

Go's method syntax is actually based in Oberon-2.

That's the type of thing I use rebase -i for though. My concern with squashing is that quite often you have multiple stable points in the development of a feature. The order that those states were reached is informative to reviewers and I wouldn't want to make a habit of squashing them away.

I think focusing on committing green test states often leads to faster development and more focused thinking, and I'd prefer to see this approach represented in the final commits rather than getting in the habit of squashing days and days of work into single mammoth commits.

There's nothing more irritating than receiving junk mail that has been printed to look as though it was written by hand. It's always immediately obvious and I always find it more offensive than normal junk mail because of the lame attempt to trick me into thinking someone took the time to write the letter by hand.

So in that respect, I'm pretty sure I would be just as annoyed receiving a fake hand-written card from a friend. It's not the aesthetic of handwriting that people appreciate, it's the fact that it takes time to do.

It would seem we're each doing what works for us.

I work mainly in MySQL and Teradata (which has tmp tables which are called volatile tables), and I do exactly what you describe when creating complex queries. My metric system is just a way to build those temp tables more rapidly.

I use two main functions to manipulate metrics:

create_metric(metric_name,{cols_added},join_src,{join_cols},{extra_sql},{indices});

This stores the metric for later use.

add_metric(metric_name, my_other_table, {my_join_conditions});

This retrieves the metric, and returns a string of (Teradata) SQL in the form:

CREATE VOLATILE MULTISET TABLE add_metric_name AS (

SELECT a.*, b.cols_added_1, b.cols_added_2,...,b.cols_added_n

FROM my_other_table a

LEFT JOIN join_src b

ON a.my_join_condition_1 = b.join_col_1

AND a.my_join_condition_2 = b.join_col_2

...

AND a.my_join_condition_n = b.join_col_n

[If there is extra sql, like where a.condition = X, or group by's like group by 1, 2, it would show up here. SQL here can reference the join columns and table name in an add_metric stmt]

) WITH DATA PRIMARY INDEX(indice_1, indice_2) ON COMMIT PRESERVE ROWS;

I can also store entire create tmp table chains as metrics, with the last table appending all of the information from that chain to another source (I do this by storing the chain as preparatory sql, which is run before the create add_metric_name statement.

It also allows me to search all of my metrics on a number of different dimensions: the common name of the information I am adding (metric name), column names, tables, join conditions (particularly useful - It helps you map how you'll get from one metric to another), indices, or any combination of the above. For example I can find all metrics that have the word phone in the metric name and are joinable on user_id.

I'm aware of Oracle's lack of tmp tables. My fiancée has to use Oracle SQL at work, and I quickly discovered its lack of tmp tables when trying to help her solve a SQL issue.

The only reason that this has been driven up to the top of HN is because of its title. If it had been titled "A Nicely Designed Government Site", it would have gone nowhere.

As for the site, I can't see how the navigation would have me pulling out any fewer hairs than any other government site, but it is very large, multicolored and slidey, so if I were putting together an iPad commercial I might use it in a couple of shots.

While I agree it would be silly or her to refuse to go just based on some club she was in in high school, I'd be willing to bet she's been exposed to more women in tech groups throughout her career as well.

This is just speaking from personal experience but a lot of these groups are the "clothing teddy bears and sipping cocoa" variety. It's a little bizarre actually how patronizing some of these events are and it's all self-imposed. It's just too easy to fall into a circlejerk of meaningless talks and discussions about sexism and empty compliments, awards and recognition. I know that's kind of a generalization and not all organizations are like this but I doubt I'd ever go to a women in tech luncheon again either.

I suspect the banks would pay a lot of money to find out who those 7% are...
US is much more socialist they you could think. They talk the talk but don't walk the walk. Currently in the US there are more people who get Government benefits than those who pay the income tax. That's not capitalism. If you want to see capitalism look at China.

First: you're thinking of social-democracy, not socialism.

But honestly, using China as an argument in favor of capitalism is INCREDIBLY BAD. China looks pretty dystopian to outsiders.

And if the rate was 15% your guess is there would be even more start-ups or less? And if more, wouldn't that be more valuable for the Israeli economy than to give this 30% difference to politicians to waste?

If the rate was 15%, I would guess that there would be roughly the same amount of start-ups. Never has the real business world been shown to respond predominantly to income tax rates. Other factors have always dominated the issue of business formation: availability of skilled labor force, public R&D investment, available infrastructure, solid legal system, etc.

Good intentions, socialism - let's give house to everyone. Now everyone's screwed over.

Neither socialism nor social-democracy gives people loans. You're talking about some kind of weird American state-capitalist thingy. In a social democracy, there are what the Brits call "council houses": available houses or apartments literally owned by the local government and leased or given out based on human need.

Get your brain out of the America and into the sensible world.

First of all, I moved to Berlin 9 months ago and in general I'm pretty happy with the service uptime and promised speed etc.

BUT the activation time of your connection is something unacceptable in Germany. Four weeks seems to be the normal case for a landline connection to be up and running. FOUR WEEKS, are you kidding me?

And the same problem is ahead of you if you're moving to another flat.

As I did. I moved one month ago. And I didn't know the new address until 1 week before the end of month. As soon as I knew about it I went to the ISP & asked them to make the switch to the new address.

I had to pay extra (which was ok) and WAIT ANOTHER FOUR WEEKS (which was not ok at all).

So in effect I was without internet for 3 weeks while paying the connection to my old address at the same time.

Someone was saying that here the bottleneck is on Telekom's end. And maybe so? The guy who eventually came after 4 weeks was from Telekom - he basically came around for max 10 minutes (probably 5) and made some magic tricks and voilà - internet working.

EDIT:
Wild guess #1: the problem is just too few people at Telekom.

Wild guess #2: If Telekom would offer a service that you pay 100EUR extra to get the connection in two days, they 1) could do it, 2) have loads of customers wanting that service and 3) give jobs to more people and 4) have more money in the pocket

This is just this week's trend, it'll look really dated by the end of the year. And yes it does look like an off the shelf theme.

A government site has a job to do, primarily to provide information and contact details, this is more suited to someone peddling organic food.
In Australia, as of now, the website of every council presents the same information in a different way. What's required here is a consistent UI across the entire .gov sites.

Government sites by default need to cater for every edge case in terms of accessibility, and so functional takes precedence over pretty every time.
