I don't have an interest in filling a post with links to articles about the freedom of speech issues or homophobia in Belarus, the Ukraine, Lithuania, Romania, or what not, but they are easily found. For starters, though, Belarus, the Ukraine, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Greece and Albania aren't even in the top 80 countries for press freedom: http://en.rsf.org/press-freedom-index-2013,1054.html

However, I had to hit Wikipedia as I'd never considered the Czech Republic to culturally be "Eastern Europe" but it turns out it often is. I consider the Czech Republic as progressive as any Western European nation and the statistics seem to support that (for example, Czechs are more in support of gay marriage than even the Brits). I've been to the Czech Republic before and was pleasantly surprised at how awesome it was.

So, to clarify, I did not have mean "Eastern Europe" formally but countries on the geographically eastern fringes of Europe.

That's certainly a good point of view. Thanks for the feedback!

I wrote the book exactly to help who finds the official documentation too difficult to grasp as a whole.

I was in that very situation two years ago when I started with Bootstrap, and I thought that people out there will be in the same situation starting with Bootstrap 3 now.
I like the collecting idea, especially if you couple it with a message to raise awareness.

> Is that not what we already do through welfare/benefit payments?

Yep.

The main problem here is that most people don't understand incentives and what motivates them. They think everyone's just out to work as little as possible. Selling a negative income tax or basic income to the public, or any system where you provide anyone with "three hots and a cot," as my father put it, is impossible, regardless of how much we need it. According to them, we'd be irreparably damaging the social fabric.

Reading, writing, and deleting all degrade SSDs due to wear leveling. It's a common misconception that only deleting files degrades SSDs. I'm guessing this is what linode is getting at here.
4A as it has been interpreted is woefully inadequate for privacy protections in the modern world. Absent a complete change in how the courts do this, we need laws like ECPA (but better), technical countermeasures and a strikedown of laws like CALEA (which is unconstitutional already), or a constitutional amendment explicitly protecting privacy. Or all 3.
Agreed. The pricing is ridiculous. $79 for an ebook, git repositories (which should be on GitHub in the first place!), and a few Bootstrap themes (many of which are open source) is laughable. There's no way in hell I'm buying this, which is a shame, since I'm in the middle of redesigning my personal website to use Bootstrap 3.

Please no. Don't contribute to this cover-your-ass culture of information clutter by disclaiming the obvious with braindead notices that nobody is expected to read.

It's in the section defining cultural racism:

Those aspects of society that overtly and covertly attribute value and normality to white people and Whiteness, and devalue, stereotype, and label people of color as “other”, different, less than, or render them invisible. Examples of these norms include defining white skin tones as nude or flesh colored, having a future time orientation, emphasizing individualism as opposed to a more collective ideology, defining one form of English as standard, and identifying only Whites as great writers or composers.

As usual "it depends" but yes, this is imho the the most important aspect (provided reasonable performance and sustainability is carefully taken into consideration).

The older I get, the more tired I get of developers writing in-house apps that are never going to have more than 10 concurrent users, but they architect as if they are going to have 1000+ concurrent users, regardless of the additional cost or complexity....which is how relatively simple projects end up cost $100k+++ and become maintenance nightmares, and why simple change requests are often rejected because they would be "too complex".

Exactly. Or modding/scripting games.

That's basically 1000000x better than those games that stress on learning programming or are build around coding.
A game that is good by itself and has a great map editor or a good api for modding. Now that's fun.
These "programming games" just make me think of tricking people with no interest in programming to do some.
Not that I don't recognize some do enjoy these and fall in love with programming thanks to them.

Hey,

the git repositories are there to avoid to copy-paste from the PDF (which is an awful experience) the source code of Part 2.
The bootstrap themes are nowhere to be found because I wrote them for the book and as an example for those starters the book is aimed at.

And for the first day the price is $59, which people seem to be happy with so far :)

Also, there's the book without the extras, if you think it could be useful to you... but I sense you are not a starter, now are you?
The new Maps is an utter failure end to end, IMO. It's much slower than the previous version (both the web and android app), it takes ages to load; the various tools (traffic, etc) are much less practical and easy to use; on the mobile version, it can't cache large areas anymore (complete PITA), and anyway there isn't any way to manage the cache; and the guidance on the android version doesn't work at all anymore, it systematically displays the map on a wrong orientation and gives ridiculous indications; the last couple of times it sent me on the wrong way repeatedly to a point I simply stopped using it at all.

Furthermore I failed to see any significant improvement from the rewrite. Only annoyances.
I don't see "thin" in that description. (One can't infer it; "healthy ⇒ thin" is false. Do you have inside information on this study?)
I think it might be a pretty small group of people that know about bootstrap but don't/can't figure out how to use it, and will pay $59-79 dollars for an ebook.

$25 is a reasonable price for ebooks with a large amount of useful content but won't get impulse buys.

$5-10 will get impulse buys but you might not get as much money in aggregate.

$59-70 is ridiculous for any book, to me that is like textbook pricing.

I personally probably would've bought it in the $5-10 dollar range even though I know bootstrap and find the documentation easy to understand.

Best of luck.

Edit: I never made it to your $29-39 ebook pricing which might grab more people, might want to show that there are 2 options better (2 columns maybe).
but most high school students grow out of that phase :-)

Yahoo: Sharing Our First Transparency Report (NSA requests)
Absolutely, most of the work being done is for self serving reasons, which happen to be shared by a number of organizations.

Due to the GPL "infection", though, the bullshit can only go so far. If it went too far, somebody would make a "ReDoIx" fork/distribution from the unbroken parts, and build something that people could tolerate.

I started with Slackware Linux in the mid 90s, jumped to RedHat for a while, couldn't figure out what to make of "Fedora", so I jumped to Ubuntu. While both my current and previous employer use RedHat in production (the previous employer was on Debian until being acquired by BigCo), I have no problem with jumping again when something better comes around.

I guess business-to-business supported software has to come with a certain level of bullshit or FUD.

> users have been trained

I'm not sure about that, users are just cheap in general. That's why sales and discount mega stores are so successful.

Speaking for myself, the more apps I buy, the more I'm willing to spend on a well crafted or useful piece of software with the expectation that gimmicky ads will not be there and the in app purchases actually do add value on top of the purchase.

Two apps in the $8-$20 range that I regularly use right now are Gaia GPS & Paper by 53 (although I'm slowly swapping that out for Procreate).
Good question. The type USB implementation is important. There are lots of things you can't do well if the CPU is managing the USB connection in firmware at the same time as running the implementation.
Difficult to do under the stated rules of the forum. They'd have to do a blog post with the information sought and link to that instead of the project proper. Personally, I'd rather the link go directly to the project. But there's no way to add additional information to such posts.

I'm sure the creator will get around to checking the thread soon enough to answer questions.
Just to be clear: it's fine to take the output of PBKDF2 and expand it with SHA2. They didn't do that, but that would have been a totally normal design with the same "problematic" performance characteristics.

> So I argue that you have the exact same problems when using Core Data that you have when using the raw C API for SQLite - conceptually.

That's pretty much the same conclusion I've come to from using CoreData, but I see that as a reason not to use CoreData. If I'm going to depend on a very complex closed-source library, I want it to solve hard problems, not just the easy problems. IMO CD isn't vastly harder than doing the same thing manually as some people will claim, but it's also not easier in nontrivial applications.
>Unless you have really compelling reasons to get snuggly with a particular vendor's technology

I'll never understand this mentality. You bought it, so why not use it? Even OSS databases have some very compelling features. Take advantage. Use the hell out of your tools.

This is tantamount to saying "I'm using Go, but I can't use goroutines, because some day I might want to use Python instead." Don't want to get too attached to the technology, right?

The only time I ever tried to go abstract is when I sold on-premises software that had to support multiple enterprise-size clients' vendor choices. You know what happened? It took forever, everyone was unhappy, and ultimately it turned into 2 vendor-specific versions and dropping the least popular 3rd. Life was better after that.

Rephrasing: "but from what I can read, I guess you are not a newbie with Bootstrap nor frontend design (so the book is not for you)"
Also, you do realize that if people do buy the $79 package that includes the Git repositories, then it's only a matter of time until the repositories end up on GitHub (or SourceForge or Bitbucket, etc), right?
Even if its the truth its still gross misconduct by the head in my book - I bet this is a "free" school with no proper governing body.
Yeah, the right thing to do right now is generally to do a Show HN post with the URL, and then immediately make a post introducing yourself and your project and stuff in that thread.
Maybe $10 for the book (kindle books about bootstraps are around $5-$10 at Amazon) and $30 for the whole kit? There are so many free templates out there and also 5-10 commercial bootstrap bundled templates for only $10. Although they are not the best designs, but are good enough to learn how it's used and coded with live samples.

I agree with so well documented official documentation, it's going to be hard to sell.

Edit: BTW, there is even Bootstrap 3 video course at lynda.com.

These headers are part of S3 implementation an we left them to avoid any possible problems with S3 clients.
Some clients are very strict on protocol validation and refused to work in some cases.
The purpose of these headers are to track all requests and be able to find any problems with any particular request. You must include them when contacting support with problems with some request. This is true both for Amazon and S3For.Me
The problem with the documentation isn't that it's difficult to grasp, but that it's scattered all over the internet, i.e. some useful stuff is on stackoverflow, some in blogs, some in official documentation. It's a good niche for a book, i.e. many people would buy it, provided, that it has a comfortable price.

I like the book and contents, but the price on the site is quite large. A can buy a bunch of tech books on IT ebook sites like Oreilly's for it. I would buy it without thinking for $10, with some thinking for $20, and for something around $30, I will buy only after thinking through about whether I really need it.

Interesting way of looking at it :)
I do think schools shouldn't emphasize either collectivism or individualism over each other and I don't think the text you are quoting here advises that, either. Only a pretty narrow-mindes reading of that text would suggest that in any way. At any rate you would have to look at the actual implementation of that policy to really criticise it. As is this text is quite tame.

Please also note that schools can hardly be idiologically neutral. That is not possible - they have to find a way to spproach how they depict individualism and collectivism no matter what.

To connect this in any way to the linked situation is downright absurd.
The top answer in that thread is excellent.

Basically, "it depends". having dealt with extremely DB-intensive applications, I have developed a personal motto of "be nice to the DB".

Let the DB be a secure storage of your data, not a calculating part of your application. But like the top answer says, sometimes it is not practical to do a calculation within the application. In my case, we had a few database servers set aside just for reporting, so we could slam them with difficult queries and not worry about affecting data.

Some maybe, but such reports will be grossly over exaggerated and a drop in the bucket in the grand scheme of employment in the US.

The truth is that much of the manufacturing here in the US is already largely automated, and many of the few jobs left in manufacturing are a few higher skill positions that probably pay an hourly wage near or above $20 already. Any job that's going to be eliminated is going to be eliminated in the next few years whether you raise the minimum wage or not. Instead this argument against a higher minimum wage means that every worker who job cannot be outsourced because it is some service industry job for example is being held down financially on account of the country losing jobs that might be automated eventually anyway.

On top of that a $20 minimum wage would also probably create much more demand by many of those who today are earning less than $20 per day.
How Google Makes Product Landing Pages
Thanks, that's the kind of feedback I'd always like to get!

I had doubts about the pricing until the very last second before launching.
But all in all, I just remembered all the work and passion I put in it, and decided to go on with this pricing.

Now that a good number of purchases are done, I just can't change my mind. So I'll go on, and learn whatever there will be to learn from this amazing experience.

A foreigner, I live and work in Japan, visiting companies large and small. I agree with this sentiment in principle. There is nothing intrinsically wrong with Japan's system. Indeed it has in the past brought wealth to the whole society. Nevertheless, right now, this model is failing hard. What is needed now is for Japanese people and companies to invent the future. Instead they seem to be waiting for a new model to follow, which they assume will come from outside. Japan is capable of huge transformational change in a short time, but it prefers to wait until no alternative remains. While some other societies, tend to have their (r)evolutions one entrepreneur at a time.
