hey sspiff!

Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated. Err, I guess I just put it together with styling that worked for me. The great thing about how it's written and using less, tweaks can be made real easy so I can certainly look into making changes to it so it works in a way that fills up more screen real estate. I'll look into this, if you'd like to add it as an issue to the repo, feel free or I can add it later.

Thanks again for the feedback!
They sell it. See eg Vodafone and tomtom for a publicized example.
I understand and agree. But maybe a better phrase than 'natural impulses'? I want to murder my business partner sometimes, but its just a natural impulse.
> Looking at proportions is meaningless: more people have tried and failed

That's why I said "proportion", not "more". I agree the data would not be a firm indicator because there are lots of other factors involved, but it would still be interesting.

> So what's your proposal?

It's not a proposal, just an observation to counter arguments of "impossible" - if more people are more equally involved in funding a company, so the distribution of risk is shared, there is more incentive to create a democratic structure.

"Software assisted weapons" have existed in one form or another for ~60 years (even longer if you count analogue computers). I'm not sure why you need a "legitimate reason" for these things to exist - they already do and arguing that they shouldn't doesn't achieve very much.
The amount of different controls is impressive. The design, not so much. Look at those emphasized buttons, for example.

In US week numbering i believe that is actually valid, because week 53 can also be week 1 of the next year. Given that in the screenshot the weeks start on sunday, i assume US numbering applies. They probably have a setting to switch to ISO week numbering where it would indeed be week 1.

It works on my computer right now and I haven't needed to change my fingers yet, and I never leave them behind. The iPhone 5S doesn't seem to require weird dongles to work, it just uses fingers. Yes, it's not ultimate security but neither is requiring any of these other trinkets because any of them can be stolen.
her erre,

Yeah I noticed I made that mistake too lol.

Thanks for the feedback! it's super appreciated as I can take all of this on board.

google drive is certainly something that would be very cool to be using.

with an undo though, how many done actions would you want to be able to undo?? Because I would store column json as deleted I guess and then retemplate it in at the appropriate position if I can.

Thanks again for the feedback, much appreciated!
Theravada isn't what Buddha taught. It's an 'innovation' of what Buddha taught. It's a different school of thought and has a different monastic code.

Why don't you read a real book instead of learning from YouTube celebrities? Learn the truth.

I would imagine if the solo project benefited peers greatly, they could still score well in the peer review. Think of someone building a powerful internal tool.

It does mean that any endeavor that doesn't produce quickly would be a bad candidate for a solo project.
Fine, but how would you verify your read-only USB stick or LiveCD before use?

Theoretically someone could sneak and replace the LiveCD with one that looks identical but is infected with the required malware[1].

Carrying it on you, or locking it in the safe in the room[2], might mitigate that I suppose.

1. Sneak in once, steal a copy of the USB/LiveCD contents, go away and create a new version infected with malware, sneak in again and swap them over.

2. Not really safe as one previous link on HN showed.
I really really really wish I could take feedback as well as @codez is taking in this thread. Incredible attitude man.

Congrats for launching. Good luck!
hey untothebreach!

Yeah export actually sounds much more fitting and the correct wording.

localStorage is certainly something I am going to be looking into to add to this. Another poster had suggested the available save APIs from say google drive, what do you think of that approach?

Thanks again for the feedback!

AFAIK, that can be somewhat problematic for windows. Why windows you ask? Most poker clients are windows only. It's probably possible to boot windows from a LiveCD, but when I looked at it in the past, it wasn't straightforward.
I like the idea of Google drive...it would also help solve the problem of Accounts if a user could sync their data through their GDrive or Dropbox or something...

Anyway, I have forked the repo. Can't work on it now (at work) but I will try to play around with it this week and might be sending you a pull request or two.
In a sense, domain names are similar to (software) patents.
They're considered private property. Which is, imho, a very bad idea.
It's a kind of legal extortion, just like patent trolls and software patents in general.
And unused domain names ownership hurt entrepreneurship the same way patents hurt it.
I mean that you would have JS in your app/views folder together with the HTML views, instead of the assets folders only.

1. It doesn't depend from RJS/render :json, but from the fact that your controller responds to sync requests, in addition to the async ones.

2. You can tell to render :json to use server side (erb) partials:

render json: { html: render_to_string(partial: 'product') }

I do it all the time
My son worked on Juno while a college student. Very cool to see it's continued success!
People are going to get wasted anyhow. Why not offer legal alternatives to alcohol (which just makes us stupid and dead) and tobacco.

The only reason I see why cannabis is not legal yet is because it threatens the medical industry in a big way. Cannabis, although easily becomes an addiction, is also a big medicine for many things.

When people start to realize this in big quantities, the medical companies are going to get worried, as their prescription drugs that may cause coma and death, will not be used so much anymore.

power to the people. I like Trello and while this is lacking features, it's already miles better because now I can fork it and self host it and others can do the same. I dislike how the web has become service orientated and wish I had more time to spend building alternatives to popular services that were Free and open source.

well done!

also, checklists. I would love love love to have checklists.
Agree, but you're only criticising the submitter, not EFF. There's no mention of "2x matching" on the page; it only says "you receive a 2x powerup," which is accurate. There's no ambiguity and the page clearly says "donate x, with matching EFF will receive 2x" on the form.
Did they finally just throw out the poll data and go with whoever they wanted? I remember originally Snowden was winning by a landslide.
I think he's talking about the nightly builds from pentadactyl ( http://5digits.org/nightlies ), considering the version on mozilla's website broke ages ago.

Ahh thanks for that! I obviously had overlooked it. Although it looks like I may get rid of the modals altogether and opt for menu actions within the header and loading a default config. What's your opinion on this approach?

You ask, "Why do we still have referrers?", but then you answer your question: "as a web developer, it's useful to be able to see where people came from."

You are of course correct that we don't have a "right" to this information. But I've discovered, many times, through the referrers in my logs, links to my pages from some very interesting places that I might not have discovered otherwise (because the link information that Google discloses is woefully incomplete).

Any user who wants to hide referrer information can easily to do in a variety of ways. For example, I wrote a bookmarklet that does this for you: http://lee-phillips.org/norefBookmarklet/
I can access via a proxy, but not from a European IP address. Seems strange to not even show an error page and just block entire regions from accessing the site.
They always do that. The polls have never been to determine who the POTY will be, but just to see who people vote for. Time picks whoever they want regardless of the polls.
Is this a joke or a payoff?!
hey alistairjcbrown!

Thanks for the feedback!, it's much appreciated. I am certainly going to take a look into this, many people have mentioned trello.

Thanks again!
You need to have two increases annually. The first is an market/cost of living adjustment that person's salary increases commensurate with prevailing market. To my mind, this adjustment always works in favor of the employee. Therefore, if the market actually paid less for a job this year than last, then the employee would receive no adjustment. All employees receive these adjustments no exceptions.

The second is a merit increase based on their performance. This increase is analogous to a traditional raise. An employee may or may not receive a merit raise based on the incentive system the company has put in place.

Waiting to address poor performance until annual reviews is a horrendous anti-pattern. When an employee is performing poorly, it should be addressed as soon as it is identified. Therefore, a poor performance review should never be a surprise to anyone. Provided that the poor performance did not emerge near the end of the annual review cycle, truly poor performance reviews should be rare because the issue should have been resolved (either by the person correcting the problem or the company and the person parting ways).

I'm really curious about this, do you mind expanding on it?
He shows promise but, like awarding Obama the Nobel peace prize, this is just too soon.
I initially felt positive about this -- and I don't doubt that it's working for them -- but I have the nagging feeling that there would be a break in the accountability chain.

I can imagine a board meeting where an investors asks "so why are you behind on your customer growth this quarter?" and one of the founders says "no one at the company thought those projects were worth doing this quarter, and we're only 'guides' to the planning process so we can't ensure that something like that gets done."

Or a customer asks "why didn't you patch that security hole that we knew about last quarter?" - "no-one thought that project was as worthwhile doing this quarter as a bunch of cool but ultimately less-valuable features, and we are only 'guides' to the planning process so we can't ensure that something like that gets done."

There has to be someone setting specific overall goals and being accountable for hitting them. (Edit: at least if I was an investor / customer / employee of the company, I'd feel better if that was in place)

I'd be curious to hear more about how that's handled!
Is the gradle support really better than in IDEA Community Edition?

Sure I can open the gradle.build file and edit it with syntax colorization but there is no smart auto-completion: you always see a giant list of objects, and not all of them are available.
Well, this Pope has been remarkably liberal and transformational. He's only remarkable in the context of the last few popes, who were insanely conservative. Francis is merely extremely conservative...
Not so long ago, SAP released a suite of applications under the brand "Fiori" - these apps are responsivea, have a uniform look and feel and are much more pleasing to the eye.

Here is an example from the Demokit:

Well, that was certainly the safer choice. Francis is an interesting figure so far, but he hasn't caused -- yet, anyway -- worldwide changes in the political dialogue like Snowden has. Time, though, went with a choice that doesn't annoy the powerful Western democracies.
maybe.

I think they coded it for European style calendar format "Monday" = first day of week, as SAP is a german company. I wrote a datepicker in JavaScript and it had similar bugs in one of the calendar formats too.
Since browsers have varying support for even creating plugins for this, maybe it would be possible to create a proxy server that could handle this stuff?
Hang on now, at no point did the parent comment state that he was looking for a more conservative government, nor did he state that there was anything politically wrong with Mujica. Instead he rebutted the homely, nice, old man image that was being presented of Mujica by pointing out the decidedly unpleasant things that Mujica has supposedly done (I can't comment on that; I know nothing of Mujica or his history).

If the parent had said something along the lines of "Mujica is a commie, pinko bastard who loves the USSR!" and had stated that as the flaws with Mujica as a leader, then your rebuttal (as I rather charitably term it) would perhaps be more valid. But to launch into a not-so-subtle criticism of right-wing governments in response to the parents comment seems, frankly, like rather a non-sequitur.

To preempt the inevitable comment that the parent had mentioned Mujica's "soviet-union-financed terrorist activities", and thus clearly had a problem with left-wing politics: the "soviet-union-financed" adjective seems rather less relevant than the "terrorist" adjective in both that sentence and the general theme of violent rule in the parent's post.
Yeah, the poll is essentially just to generate another story about "who the people want".

Perhaps it's worth paying for it for you? Calculate how much your time is worth, and compare to how much more productive you would be.

I'm using the free version, since I'm only doing Java, but I truly think IntelliJ IDEA is great[1], so I would pay if there was no free version.

but for recognition and respect to be awarded based on actual merit

you can deal with that another way, instead of resorting to hierarchy and absolute authority

Could you elaborate on both of these please? I am incredibly doubtful that a meritocracy naturally springs up and enforces itself. How does that actually work when everyone is on board with that idea? How does it defend against people that are just in it for themselves from exploiting it?

You can make theoretical arguments that hierarchical management is the best form of management for meritocracy as well, but that doesn't hold up in practice either.

Right now your post doesn't do anything to explain why the "no management" model works, you just more forcefully assert that it does, and handwave away two of the readily apparent points it could go wrong.
SAP Hana is actually a pretty interesting technology for developing data analysis website. It's a DB integrated with a web server and it automatically builds web services that let you query the data. It also provides a html/js framework to easily display and drill down (i think SAPUI5 is tied to that framework, or even is that framework).

They even got an amazon AMI to start developping quickly without paying the license upfront. Unfortunately the IDE which you use to build the webapp requires Windows.

hint : i don't work for SAP at all. I just discovered that technology a few weeks ago and it was pretty weird for me since i've always associated SAP to big, bloated, clumsy, and hyper expensive tools, for the enterprise only.
Whats the point of disclosing this information?
Somehow I wouldn't be surprised if Snowden has just as much impact on 2014 as he did on 2013.
Isn't the simulation sufficient? A proof that something works requires logic, but a single counter-example suffices to show that something doesn't work.

What are your biggest pet peeves with job posts? For example, one of mine regarding programming jobs is when they list a bunch of technologies that you "need to know", but in reality the company only uses half of them.

On the flip side, what makes a good job post? How do you make your company stand out to potential employees?

It doesn't work well at all, which is apparent if you look at any small subreddit.
How Many Method Calls to Display a Page using Rails? (3rd subhead)
Wow :( yeah that's an awful experience (and exemplifies how security has gone down the drain). I'm glad you could find an awesome opportunity in Switzerland, and I can't think of a safer country.

I'd love to live there, but it would be very hard to leave family and friends behind, and unthinkable for my girlfriend who doesn't speak English nor German.

I do think security will get better here in Uruguay - if the current party doesn't address it, they'll lose the next elections (the ones in 2020), so they will do something. The choice of candidates for the opposition parties is unfortunate, the security issue is big enough for them to make a push in next year's elections (but not enough to win them).
Quite a number of people steal either alcohol directly or something to trade for alcohol. It's just a lot cheaper than street drugs so you don't have to steal as much.
Thanks, very interesting and looks promising. We're a mixed Linux and Mac shop, so we would need a Linux client as well.
I see this:

Wich to me is an insult. You can work on something much better and informative for the people that such message.
Am I the only one this isn't working for? I see comments in here describing all sorts of things but the demo and doc pages only give me JS errors:

Time awarding Snowden POY would them look out of the loop. That seems to be the logiical PR explanation. Vatican is really a diminished institution, while the NSA is ascendent. This just impugns the relevance of Time mag's editorial, in a way...which is not flattering.
