This is awesome - the file/folder metaphor for data has always been pretty boring

I'm with you, Trello was super slow for some larger projects that I used it with. I posted this in my own comment, but it makes sense here, too [1]. Not sure if the performance problems were related to the backend stack, though. My impression is that the api was just written really inefficiently.

I definitely don't remember all of the cards loading in ~250ms. Maybe like 7 seconds [1]?

Either way, failing to hit $1bn doesnt sound like much of a failure where I live outside the Valley. $400 some million is pretty respectable.

oh no way! Whuddup loggers. I was there in 2005.

I like to read a bit after dinner when my kid goes to bed. It's much nicer than looking at a screen after I come home from looking at a screen. And I like reading tech books better than blogs anyways - I find that a lot of stuff online just regurgitates what classics like Clean Code are saying, but less eloquently.

The only downside is that reading books doesn't help you learn new languages or frameworks.

Screw the github graph.

I don't think people should be allowed to comment without some proof of being a person.

I think that's why they stopped doing manned missions - it was too dangerous. This episode of Gimlet's Undone kind of talks about that - https://gimletmedia.com/episode/the-columbia/

Yeah, if I had a dollar for every time I had to restart Visual Studio in order to get something to work...especially test debugging. But IntelliJ always works perfectly. Must say that I can't wait for Jetbrains' Rider to come out.

Not to be a geography troll, but... I'm sure the rest of the article is great.

> SuperHi has online courses which means we have students from California to Australia, all due to the internet.

Lol, sounds like a whole lot of fish to me, amirite?

Yeah, the disclosure comes close to violating their own Responsible Disclosure policy, which is 3 business days.

If McDonald's enployees get the holidays off and go back to work on the 3rd, they would have had 2 days to respond. Meaning that if McDonald's disclosed a vulnerabilty to Finnwea.com over the same time period, finnwea.com says they might have sued them.

So maybe that guy was a little trigger happy. Great hack, though.

Har har har

Interesting article, and I agree that a lot of the reason for reading old philosophy is so that you know how philosophers should think and argue.

But I always thought there was another practical reason - old philosophy is referenced all the time in newer philosophy - you have to read the older stuff to kind of learn the "language" of philosophy with all of the issues that have been covered and are still being covered.

Plus, old philosophy isn't necessarily irrelevant to contemporary ideas - Pre-socratics had theorized about atoms, for example. Or it's not like ethics, epistemology, or phenomenology will suddenly become irrelevant, though theories surrounding them might change a little bit and be refined and lose references to god.

I think the reason that Black Nurse might be particularly bad is that during slavery, black women were forced to feed their owners' children instead of their own.

Just because you don't see something as problematic doesn't mean that it isn't.

Wow, the t-shirt prices are outrageous. That seems like a lot of work to make a joke store.

If Uncle Bob is talking strictly about development cycles, running tests in Python - even in a heavy framework like Django - is pretty fast compared to like Java with the Play framework, which is excruciatingly slow, or even Swift.

> This looks like the latest in "internet of things" idiocy. Things that were once simple, but which now inexplicably run Linux.

I'm not sure that a different OS would necessarily prevent stupid errors like this one - the exploit would just be less obvious.

Also, on mobile, the height changes with about every word rotation, which isn't pleasant.

My biggest pet-peeve with GH code review is that line-comments are automatically folded whenever that line of code is changed. So if the changes to that line didn't relate to your CR or if they didn't actually fix anything, then your comment will pretty much be lost to time.

Plus, it would be nice to see the discussion around a particular line without having to go through the entire PR and unfolding each conversation to see if it's the right one.

This article says that PG's article is barely literate invective. So if PG's belongs here, this one might as well be here, too. Otherwise it's a bit of a double-standard.

Man, and here I thought social Darwinism was dead

Not sure why you wouldn't just use a class in this case...

I was much more excited when I thought it was John Stamos.

Ugh. Such an arrogant writer.

If this tool is taking data directly from MySQL, why does it need to rely on column names to determine relationships? Couldn't it just see that a column is a foreign key?

Same with Phabricator

You should really increase the width of your text divs for mobile. 3-5 words per line is soooo frustrating.

It's an SFCave ripoff!

For reference, Belle Isle, which is across the street from the southern edge of the project, is a huge park owned by the city. There's deer and stuff living on it.

It was recently the subject of a conservative utopian fantasy.

Why wouldn't Django just use South instead of creating ever more dependencies on itself?

Another great solution is to just use the ServerAliveInterval option.
