Luckily for Uber, the protesters only protest a maximum of thirty five hours per week, Fuck off entirely for the month of August, and won't travel more than two miles from one of the dirty bistros to protest in the first place. If I wa

Or if you are actually going to perform an upgrade, consider a move to one of the more mature, stable, secure frameworks under Python, Perl or PHP. Less Rails - less fails. Simple!

Citations or evidence required for your claims that Twatter is absolutely one of the best around.

by static_typed 13y ago
We owe Twatter a big thanks for showing Rails on Fails doesn't scale (via so many fail whales), and so guided many a new startup to explore Scala, Erlang, Python, C++11 - basically things with a good chance to help not hinder your star

I can see the conversations now: "..and they trust you with their wife data?" "Dumbfucks".

The fact is COBOL is still used, and useful today, all these decades later. I wonder what the sentiment about Ruby on Fails will be in thirty years time, and I don't think we will still be using it.

RESTful services still work in those situations where they are correctly applied. Maybe what has happened is some of the less mature and more shrill developers have stepped back from their war on any Web service that doesn't fit their

Database administration - is not a fire and forget task. It dismays me greatly that so many developers do not see beyond the code in their IDE, and think they can just bring a DBA for a few days, and all will be well. It may also surprise s

The DBA is not dead! They just look and smell that way! But in all seriousness, if your app uses a database, you are incompetent not to employ an expert to help with the database, whether advising on the query plan of those non-performant q

My old Nokia phones had a flashlight mode built in, very quick to activate and use, not as a separate app. Even if it does need to be an app on Android, at least include it in the base or core, as it is such a popular and useful thing to ha

The key takeaway in the benchmarks seem is that Go is significantly slower than the rest, much much slower. Apart from the regular 30-sec interval postings on HN extolling the virtues of Go, it seems to me, people should rekindle an interes

Sure - when restaurants take on a new cook or chef, they may well ask him to produce a dish or two, but none of those dishes will be sold to paying customers outside. The staff/management will check them, try them, review them, but wil

Really? I am required to have an account with Github, to prove something? In the real world, some of us work on highly proprietary code bases, where putting any code up online could expose the risk of future lawsuits or prosecutions, certai

Firstly, I think they wanted to 'assess' not 'asses', well at least I hope so (spell checking is not optional; even on a blog). Now, I agree with the blog post: if you want me to code at interview it has to be open sourc

Well, Martin should be happy Scala is getting discussed, even if he doesn't agree all that is being said. There are plenty of new and old languages that never get a mention on HN, let alone grace the front page. That said, he should pr

The other day, my colleague received a wolf whistle, and turned around to remonstrate with the guy behind her. He then pointed out, it was actually the woman next to him who had actually whistled. She smiled and replied it was her, and she

Wow - just read a more recent comment from Ben here: https://github.com/joyent/libuv/pull/1015#issuecomment-29568... The sad part of it all this: "I'm probably going to step back from libuv and node

The commit itself, and the events around that were already discussed on another thread, but about this blog posting specifically - this is a little extreme. I would have hoped at this point, an official posting, on the corporate pages would

1. However well intentioned, this sort of pedantry (the change from 'him' to 'them') just alienates efforts to make things more inclusive, rather than actually helping . 2. Reverting the change appears to be fairly petty

Hiring primer: 1. Hire based on ability, experience, and if the candidate has a good attitude and approach. 2. Hire based on company and team fit - this does not mean six of the exact same profile (i.e 3.25 years J2SE developer from a tech

My wife got to test-read your HN reply for work. She's not exactly a power viewer, but found your limited humour and restrictive mindset incredibly frustrating. Her conclusion was that comments should state exactly what the user wants

Some of us do care. We care about paying more for overpriced RAM upfront because we cannot upgrade later. We care that we have to leave our laptop with Apple for long periods of time to do repairs of any kind (do they repair? Probably repla

Just when you thought they could not make their hardware any more repair unfriendly, they find a way. I think iFixit needs to start having a minus score on the repairability score - this can earn a one, it surely has to lose that for extra

In business, the simple way to get rid of problem customers and maybe to avoid taking them on in the first place, is to ensure you have per customer pricing and agreements. For example, client A is a good customer, so a support ticket for t

Fine, go read the bug trackers for them. Your point was? Oh, probably better to spend the time patching your desktop and servers given the massive drive through holes Java has left there.
