Hi the problem isn't with using PayPal. That's fine in my opinion for startin up. Its your asking for people to enter sensitive information on an unencrypted page but also, they can click through to the next screen without entering any details like name, address. Surely this is required info and there should be checks in place to make sure all required fields are entered before heading to payment page.

Don't mean to be hard on you, just want to save you some problems down the road.

Peace.

There are some neat attempts on http://indiewebcamp.com/comments but they're much more then just open source, with it you post your comments for other blogs on your own website and do something like a pingback, etc. Sadly it is a bit complicated and there is not really some software for it off the shelf, but that kind of is how I would like it to work.

a) lack of AAA IDE (like Visual Studio) - people are just too lazy

PROBLEMS CREATING A BUZZ WITH Your IMAGES?
Results wise, clearly not.
It's interesting how the negativity on Bitcoin on Hacker News has from "that's a cute little experiment" to "it's too late to get in". But negativity it is.
What do you define as an 'impressive result': increased unit sales? Are you signing up people who absolutely would not have signed up over time? Are you looking at number of sales and signups only, or are you also considering your margins?

> Should we send them when sales are slow? Should we send them when sales peak, reducing friction among people CLOSE to buying already? Should we just work on modeling behavior and offer them on a case-by-case basis?

Why don't you flip the question around: Everything has a value and a price. I assume in this case these customers would buy eventually. What is that 'eventually' and what price are you wiling to bring forward those sales and have that money sooner rather than later?
Interesting deal, but where can I buy one? Can't seem to find a "buy now" button anywhere.
You've been doing these for a while, so: thank you for taking the time! It's just that I get the feeling your "job" should be done automatically by a sidebar or something ;)

Unrelated to the ipv6 subject, but does anyone else just find the whole concept of "credits" that gandi is using absolutely irritating?

I know that it lists "or about $xx.xx per month" next to the credit cost, but why in the hell even have the credits in the first place? It's easier to just use the actual costs in the customer's local currency than have them try and figure out what exactly a credit/"coin" is worth.

I'm simply spouting my random opinion here, but my guess is that the communities you point to suffer from non-ideal cultural-behavioral traditions that are passed down and ingrained into each new generation. If one is raised in a family/community where money is always an issue/stress point, parents are overworked, alcohol and shallow-content media are the main forms of entertainment, little encouragement for hobbies is provided, etc, then the odds are stacked against pursuing what many people might consider an intellectually-engaging or constructive lifestyle.

>A secondary motivation is using two familiar APIs — MongoLab and Firebase — to access existing PostgreSQL databases.

Is there really a significant population of developers now to whom these are more familiar query languages than SQL?

Honest question.
How is that wrong again?! It is true that they are trying to gain legitimacy. It is no longer about rights but now it is about acceptance. The time has come now to the point where anyone who holds an anti-gay position is criticized and/or boycotted. Now we have not just reached giving gays equal treatment but making changes to accommodate a different lifestyle.

The second point OSC makes is sourced in a discomfort from social disruption. There is a tendency to blame many current state of affairs on the gay movement.

I think in summary we should all reflect on the amount of insight this guy has and the capabilities of prediction he possesses. Just by simply observing things, he makes some deep accurate predictions that are very remote in the future. The article you linked to seems to be written in 1990.
hmm... if i set colour to #000000 and use the correct quotes it changes the background and not the foreground.

Maybe something is wrong with me, but the first thing I noticed was the quotes. In fact, from the title posted on HN.
Your characterization of OSC is incorrect. He only believes sodomy laws should be used carefully to make sure people don't "shake the confidence of the community", and that most homosexuals should not be jailed.

http://www.nauvoo.com/library/card-hypocrites.html

I don't agree with OSC, and I doubt he'd like me very much due to my propensity for casual sex and my desire to abolish state marriage.

That said, I do share his distaste for the gay rights movement's propensity to attack and attempt to blacklist and attack their opponents. I feel this tendency to eschew rational argument, push intellectually dishonest positions and attack those who disagree is very dangerous. And I won't be subscribing to your blacklist of Card and other folks who don't buy into the modern orthodoxy.

I'm curious though - Communism has been far more harmful to the world than opposition to gay marriage. Do you also favor bringing back the anti-communist blacklists of the McCarthy era?

Very simple service, I wish there were more like this.
Also have large Go systems in production, and I agree lack of generics is a problem. The biggest problem for me though, is the lack of testability.

As a simple example, the fact that log.Logger isn't an interface means everyone creates a wrapper just for testing purposes. DI is also complicated enough that in some cases, it's just easier to forget about unit tests and stick with integration tests.
Is it just me, or was anyone else hoping for an API that lets you order coffee? :P
The linked page doesn't mention gays once, it's about programming.

The post I replied to, seemed to me to suggest that everthing OSC says about anything can be discounted because he is judged to be anti-gay.

There will always be people without ambition, without dreams, without a wish to do more, be more. In our current society these are precisely the under-employed people that you describe. Everyone with a bit of self-motivation is off at the office earning a living.

Have you ever tried taking a really long vacation? Really long as in 6 months or more? Once you get to the end of the first few months, you start getting bored. You start looking for things to do, and as you don't have loads of money to spend (after all you're not working) you're looking for something not too expensive.

One of the great things about today's society is that doing something creative is actually quite cheap - you could take up patchwork quilting for the price of a $100 sewing machine and some material. You could take up drawing for the price of some paper and paints, or an iPad. Your could take up music for about $100 to by a cheap instrument and some sheet music. Or cooking (accepting that you're already going to have to spend money for food to live, cooking is a very cheap hobby), or writing a book, or making a video game, or pretty much every single Y-Combinator start-up ever... because you know what, pg's view that you don't need a lot of money for a start-up these days is also true for doing things that aren't aimed at making money.

Over the last 10 years of my career, I've built some really cool technology that I have been quite proud of. I have done this as a salaried employee working for various companies. Not one of the products on which I have worked on for those 10 years has made it to market. I've learned a lot personally, and it's quite agreeable work, but I don't get as much out of it as I would if I was working on a product of my own choosing. Yet society somehow finds a way to pay me a 6-figure salary for doing effectively nothing. If I'm not going to do anything useful for society, it would be far more rational to work on nothing useful that at least interests me, no?

It's not being tolerant of intolerance to consider his views on an entirely disparate topic. If his views on LGBTQ people were being discussed, then yes they are repellant and I would say so, but they have nothing to do with the topic at hand.

As for the article itself, I found it to be overly stereotypical and lacking in actual insight.

For backend programming, SQL is certainly the most familiar language.

We don't generally send SQL over the wire, though. :-)

That is to say, front-end programmers usually work with a middleware (or backend-as-a-service) layer that translates REST/JS API requests into backend storage, and PgREST simply implements this layer with Postgres itself.
No information on coffee varieties, degree of roast, country of origin of beans. Arabica? Robusta? Blended? How dark roast or can I choose? For now I'll prefer to ground my beans at the supermarket, as I know what I'll get.

Hey!

Thanks for the feedback, that has been a recurring complain.

Working on that now!
From what I understand two terms you use would be inaccurate. First of all it's not an area, as it has no physical dimensions. Second of all it could not be called 'eternity' as it is composed of nothing and therefore no change to it is occurring, and change is the fundamental principle behind time.

Everything that exists, exists within the universe, there is nothing 'outside', there is no 'outside'. At least under the classical understanding, or theory, of existence. Some multiverse models posit that there may be other universes that we may one day expand into. Others yet posit that these other 'bubbles' might have differing laws of physics to us, and could destroy us on contact. Fun.
Changing the curly quotes to normal double quotes will make it behave normally.
This is my oppinion of Go as well. Go has done alot of things right, but the lack of generics is off putting.

I would also prefer that the type system could catch null pointer exceptions, but most languages don't give this guarantee, so it's not that big of a deal.

Another thing people gripe about is that exceptions (panic) is almost never used, and that most functions return error codes. I've yet to decide what I think about this issue, but sometimes it does feel like Go went for "NO EXCEPTIONS!" and then figured out they needed exceptions anyway and added panic/recover as an afterthought.

What I do love about Go though is the implicit interfaces, := assignment, forcing if and for to be followed by {}, no inheritance, concurrency and the non-forgiving compiler.
The site acts like there is only "a coffee". This is definitely something a consumer that would order coffee over Internet wants to know. Or even better wants to choose.

Is this different from, say, the black movement? What if there were no longer segregated schools and bathrooms, but african-americans were prohibited to adopt children and black history were not allowed to be taught in schools?

edit: I'm not from the U.S. so I don't know everything as far as minority rights go over there. In my country there are laws agains racism, and they're trying to pass anti-homophobia laws too. I do have a problem with both of these, though, as anybody expressing a racist opinion can be simply jailed without bail. I find the U.S. stance on free speech much more... how do I put it... free?
I get the feeling Colin may have already automated this and it's a bot posting these things.

Hi guys! Thanks for your feedback. Using your suggestion, I've now updated the 4 digit IDs to 10 digits :)
Discourse got a lot of heat from BB users (including me) exactly because it's very different from Disqus (the previous BB system). Its overall philosophy is at the other end of the spectrum in the flat-vs-nested debate.

I'm not saying Discourse is bad, but if you plan to migrate an existing Disqus userbase, expect quite a bit of backlash.
It would be really interesting to see specific examples for this - can you give a short example in code or pseudo-code of somewhere you really wanted them and didn't have them, and how they would improve things? There is a generic append, but do you mean sorting lists or something else? Apologies if this is obvious, but it would be enlightening for those not familiar with generics from other languages.

Different languages get a different amount of execution time for the test cases. A factor is given in the table of available programming languages. It is interesting to see where the languages are grouped:

Compiled Languages (1 × time limit): C, C++, Perl, Clojure, JavaScript, Haskell.

Java (2 × time limit + 2): Java.

Scripting Languages (3 × time limit): Python, Ruby, PHP.

I guess the "+2" for Java tries to account for JVM startup. But if Clojure will also run on the JVM, why doesn't it get the same advantage?

I am also surprised to see Perl being grouped with the compiled languages, as it actually has a performance profile similar to CPython (which I assume will be used for Python – the entries for Python, Java, Ruby, PHP, Clojure don't mention which of the myriad interpreters/VMs will be used).

Let's take a basic list operation, map.

Map takes a transforming function and a list, and transforms each element.

type MyString string

func NewMyString(s string) MyString{return MyString(s)}

a := []string{"A", "B", "C"}

If you want to create a []MyString from []string, now you have to loop over that and transform by hand, with generics you could do map(NewMyString, a).
You could argue that "we" always practiced the methodology of penalizing people with beliefs that were perceived as abnormal. Case in point: Alan Turing.

However, this is not the level I want this considered at. Instead, I invite you to look at what you're comparing here. There is OSC's philosophy of hatred on one side, and Alan Turing's sexuality on the other (which was never about harming anyone and hence could always be considered ethically neutral). You can't meaningfully argue that the two are similar. Yes, they share the trait of being socially unaccepted at the time, but that's also where the similarities end.

I'm not proposing we shun people because their beliefs are unpopular. I'm talking about making a choice not to elevate people who are unethical.
