I believe Foundation has Flexbox support as well: http://foundation.zurb.com/sites/docs/flexbox.html

You can also start all of your commands with "BEGIN;" (at least in Postgres) to ensure you're in a transaction you can easily rollback.

Another trick it to start all "DELETE" commands as a "SELECT" to ensure you get the "WHERE" part correct, and then swap out the "SELECT *" with a "DELETE".

FTP (and SFTP) is very heavily used in enterprise software, especially when two pieces of software are being integrated.

(S)FTP support has been baked into huge ERP systems like Oracle and SAP for years (I would be very surprised if BitTorrent was even on a list of development features), and when you're working with a company who has a $100mm SAP installation, you transfer files using (S)FTP.

I just finished a large integration with SAP where all of the data was transferred using files over SFTP. We have a modern REST API they could use as well, but that would've added a lot longer time to the integration as it wasn't already baked into SAP (plus, moving large files over HTTP is not ideal).

I don't think Uber and Airbnb have won at all. There is still tremendous push back against them, neither are public companies, and Uber specifically is burning cash at a tremendous rate.

Hey night last slightly longer than Zenefits, but I would expect to see major changes in how they operate.

I don't know enough about Draftkings to say one way or another other than it appears they have greased the right palms to continue to operate for the time being.

They're too busy getting paid writing Perl.

Have an intermediate build server like Jenkins or Bamboo that does all of that for you, packages everything up into a single deployable artifact (tarball, .deb, or RPM for example) and then deploy that out to each of your servers.

I think the point is you can't fake it till you make it in medical science, and if you can, the outcomes usually aren't great.

I built a similar "login as a service" three years ago, and the biggest I came across was that any modern web framework already includes authentication and user management out of the box. And user management that is guaranteed to integrate with the rest of the framework. It was a really difficult sell trying to convince developers to use my service rather than their own framework.

Everything about this is ridiculous, but this especially so:

"Johnson’s release date was originally scheduled for earlier, but he ended up serving an additional eight months at the age of 69 for a juvenile shoplifting charge he received when he was 17."

How in any reasonable society is this justifiable? I re-read the sentence probably five times because I simply couldn't believe it.

I think you're correct. The cost for an SSL certificate is trivial for any legitimate company, and the processing overhead to encrypt every request hasn't been a concern for years.

It contains an interesting link you would want to read later? Pinboard can import favorited tweets and automatically store them as unread bookmarks, for example.

1PW is without a doubt one of the nicest iOS and Mac programs I have ever used. It is gorgeous and just works. Well worth however much I spent on it.

I had the same exact response. "RtCW is 13+ years old!?" I spent so much time with that game.

Great article, I love psql. I also add \timing to my .psqlrc to see how long every query took.

I'm not sure why you're being down-voted but this was completely spot on.

An interesting interview with the founder of Kiva on NPR's "From Scratch" - http://www.npr.org/2014/01/09/261095138/mick-mountz-founder-...

She did and they said it was too late to return it.

Yup, it's a great idea! In all of our applications we have a build-dev shell script that builds the application for development purposes.

New developers day 1: vagrant up; vagrant ssh; cd /path/to/app/on/vm; ./build-dev

And they're ready to go.

Plus $99 is $0 for a company who wants a nice looking and well supported theme.

Unless you're on a visa and having a job is a requirement of keeping said visa.

Because then you'd just have Requests and normal Python which it sounds like the author wanted to avoid.

Building Postgres from source for testing is relatively simple - at least on Ubuntu / Debian.

    useradd --home-dir /home/postgres \
        --create-home --shell /bin/bash \
        --user-group postgres

    apt-get install -y build-essential libkrb5-dev \
        libxml2 libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev \
        libossp-uuid-dev uuid python-dev \
        libreadline6 libreadline-dev

    ./configure --disable-debug --enable-thread-safety \
        --with-gssapi --with-openssl \
        --with-libxml --with-libxslt \
        --with-ossp-uuid --with-python \
        --without-bonjour

    make world && make install
    sudo su - postgres -c "/usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb -D /home/postgres/cluster -E UTF8"

Hahahaha what, that's completely crazy.

But it's still very well moderated.

Yeah, there, are, um, a lot of them.

Very simple setup. You have:

    .git
    web/index.php
    src/*.php

Make the document root /full/path/to/web/index.php.

Edit: Also use a deployment tool like Capistrano which removes the .git directory as well.

Or CBS with The Munsters?

While I completely agree with you - it's an ridiculous choice - you can just right click and click "Open Image in New Tab" in Chrome. Which ironically is located on the authors own domain.

The navigation on this site is possibly the worst ever conceived. You can't link to anything!

Yeah, you're right, they put absolutely no effort into this.
