Point 7 - Port Binding: I'm interested in hearing anyone else's views on this. How would you even do this for a Django app? And is this really better than just using WSGI? Is anyone using Tornado with Django in production? Google showe

Point 3 - Config: The claim is that you shouldn't have a config file that you don't check into source control like Rails' config/database.yaml, or the common Django settings_local.py. Instead you should use environment variables. Um. I

Objectively, her work is not that great. She wrote simple stories with repetitive plots and cardboard characters. And yet... It's tempting to try and compare one of her books to, say, one of Louis McMaster Bujold's works, and sneer that M

I don't think the word ideological means what you think it means. Ideological behaviour is behaviour motivated by ideas, not profits. Corporate lobbying is essentially always motivated by profit, not ideas. Can you name a company who lob

They're superb, but Das Keyboard makes a keyboard which is every bit as good, I think. I'm using one right now, in fact.

These rankings assume that signing a law that creates a new entitlement that will entail large payoffs in future decades is "free". Being in office when those promises come due is profligate. In reality, we should be using accrual account

According to the article, this is a proposed amendment to ban corporations from making political donations or expenditures. It's not clear from context if that means companies donating to a political campaign, or if it extends to independe

This is pretty interesting looking. I'm tempted to try using it on my next project...anyone else used it yet? Seem stable/bug free?

Google and Microsoft have a huuuge list of projects they jumped into, and failed, leaving the competition stronger than before. All sorts of half-baked apps and ideas - from Google Knols to Microsoft Frontpage. (Yeah, okay, Adobe isn't exa

This is a little bit like, oh... Opera writing a blog post about how you shouldn't use Firefox because it won't display any Google page. ...ie, it would be very important and interesting if true, but it's 1) not true, and 2) trivially veri

That's a bit too charitable to Apple, I think. Yes, the decision is covered by the terms of the agreement - they can do what they did. But since the result of their decision is 1) bad press and 2) increased risk of security holes, it's

The lack of contrast between read and unread items ridiculous. The following custom CSS makes it bearable: #entries .entry .card-common { background: #eee} #entries .entry .card-actions { background: #eee } #entries .entry.read .card-commo

Okay. So who is offering a service that can match Google's offering? In particular, they need to offer a good (ie, at least as good as Google's) webmail client and spam filtering.

Uh... Current deficits are future taxes. This is a bit like going out to lunch with some friends, agreeing to split the check evenly, having one of them start ordering incredibly expensive bottles of champagne, protesting, and being told "

This is completely wrong. Credit standards not only dropped dramatically at Freddie/Fannie, but they drove the decline elsewhere. Causality is clear: Private banks issued loans that they knew that Freddie/Fannie would securitized; as the

Apparently the abuse in question included creation of throwaway email accounts. That makes email filtering harder, at a minimum.

I dunno. I'm sympathetic and all, but this seems to boil down to: "Nasty person A keeps harassing nice person B via email in ways which do not warrant the involvement of law enforcement." Which is terrible and all - especially for person g

This looks great, but I'm still kind of at a loss: How is this different than Trello?

Yes, the largest problem with the graphs is that so much work is being done by the phrase "taxable income". Imagine Joe Example makes $500,000 per year, and faces an average tax rate of 80%, but through various quirks of the tax code he can
