You said exactly what I was trying to point out. I wouldn't put sunblock on my daughter or myself for <20min exposure. That just seems extreme. When I apply it, we're heading out for hours, or all day.

This also doesn't account for skin variances. We're extremely fair-skinned and burn easily. There is no way, even through clothing coverage, I would risk the possible burns that I've seen other children have.

You're referring to a study that used 37 volunteers that were exposed for 20 min.

When I apply sunblock to me or my daughter, it's because we're going to be outside for well over 20 minutes. For that length of time, depending on conditions, I probably wouldn't even bother.

My point stands, if you apply sunblock intending to spend 1+ hour(s) in the sun, then you'll likely benefit from the vitamin D exposure.

Except that all evidence points to the fact that sunscreen/sunblock usage doesn't have an effect on vitamin D intake through sun exposure.

People that use it tend to spend more time in the sun than those that don't. Also, vitamin D is more effective through ingestion as opposed to sun exposure anyway.

"A big part of the problem is that programmers are constantly trying to one-up each other (see: feigned surprise) and prove their superior knowledge, drive, and intelligence. From the outside (that is, from the vantage point of the business operators we work for) these pissing contests make all sides look stupid and deficient. By lowering each others’ status so reliably, and when little to nothing is at stake, programmers lower their status as a group."

This is gold.

That's a very cool library. I may just have to pick it up myself. Thanks for sharing.

I'm frankly surprised that there is any sort of funding shortfall for this idea. For US-based profitable start-ups or established companies, this is absolutely in your best interests.

Two issues alone, Net Neutrality and the NSA overreach directly impact your ability to operate or expand globally and should be of major concern to smaller US-based technology companies.

It's not like Lessig is some nobody. If anyone has the ability to truly pull this off, and make change, I'd put my money on him.

Although it advertises persistence, it doesn't look like it works. Everything I put in there is gone upon restart.

Interesting idea though. Thanks for pointing it out.

Agreed. This is the route I use and it works fine. I can see how it could quickly get out of hand with a lot of security groups, and I would love some sort of security group inheritance, but for -100 instances, it is not the hard to keep the public access to ELB.

It's the main reason we can't use it. Org gists would be great.

Forwarded and a permanent re-direct are nice changes. This is a welcome change.

It will likely be awhile before widespread adoption, but to see a standard move forward in such a seemingly small, but considerable way is great.

Kudos to those involved. I can't imagine it was an easy feat.

Folks using vmware fusion be warned, it does not work with Yosemite.

This is great. Thanks for putting this together and sharing.

Agreed 100%. My little girl is almost 2 and I while I can't say I've been there for every moment, she has been my priority #1. There are too many precious moments and missing just one of them is an awful feeling.

To each their own, but I would never sacrifice a moment with my daughter unless is was absolutely necessary. As contrary as it might seem to people in the startup bubble, the importance placed on most day-to-day work is an illusion.

Pop the bubble and hug your kids. In the long run, that relationship will mean much, much more to you.

I just wish long distance would die. I moved recently and would rather not change my number given the number of folks that would need to update their contacts etc.

However, my wife complains that calling me is annoying as it's long distance.

This is in Canada, so I expect our telco's to be far behind the rest of the developed world, so it may not be as much of an issue elsewhere.

There's multiple attachments for the spoon. One of them might be a larger spoon.

I think a lot of people miss a key point of MVC in that it is extremely popular, taught in schools and advocated for in a lot of circles.

This doesn't mean that it is inherently good at what it says it will accomplish for every project that it's used on. However, it does mean that on-boarding devs is considerably easier if you're using an architecture/framework that they'll likely be at least passably familiar with.

I'm all in favour of moving on, adapting and playing around with all of the hot new toys/frameworks but the broad "we" here at HN are in a bubble if we believe that the majority of our ilk has any interest in these types of discussions.

MVC isn't being used because it is the best at what it does, or that it is appropriate for all situations. It is being used because it is familiar to the vast majority of developers.

Have they ever explicitly recommended against a browser/application like this before? Not sure if this is common verbiage in their alerts, or whether this is an unusual occurrence.

Is the 2 hours lunch/break time sacrosanct? Meaning, pretty much everyone does it?

I rarely take a long break during the working day, lunch is 30min at most. But, I like to leave a bit earlier to spend time with my daughter.

Once she's in bed at night, I'll usually work for a few more hours though. So, I may not be a good example.

Is Notepad++ that bad? I used it heavily in my Windows days and loved it at the time. There were features in it that I loved that I have yet to see other editors tackle natively (the diff view was awesome).

I hear you, but Jon should take heed from his predecessor, Textmate.

Textmate was a prime example of what happens when an incredibly popular project is run by a single individual. The fact that TM 2 has flourished (IMO) since being open-sourced, is a good indication that additional eyes are a good thing.

I'm not suggesting that Jon open-sources ST, just saying that reaching out for help is not a bad thing in these one-man-band projects.

Starting at 9 and ending at 7? I take it the average French employee doesn't have children. Those hours mean that you'll rarely ever see them. At least during the work week.

"From the Sublime office: We are not selling to Github, we are not stopping development of Sublime. As noted by another poster, this is effectively a one man band (I'm here to answer sales questions, process your refunds and get the mail so Jon doesn't have to). The past few months of silence on the development front have been a combination of boring back end work (taxes, new payment platform) as well as a break for the man driving this whole operation. No, we don't currently have a loud internet presence, which is can be an understandable cause for concern-something we intend to address once we move into the production version of 3. There is a vision for continued growth and development, there is momentum behind Sublime Text; it is not dead, just slow.

I'm happy to field any specific questions you might have about the Sublime's future: sales@sublimetext.com."

How about Symantec? Those of you logging in to renew Verisign certificates might want to take note:

It's vulnerable as well.

With the proliferation of Nexus tablets (or Android tablets in general) and that Play Books is stock in the OS, I feel pretty confident in it sticking around.

I'll be watching this thread with interest myself, but one that I thoroughly enjoyed reading (and it's pretty short) is Dr. Strangelove's Game by Paul Strathern [1]. It is not particularly well known according to sites I frequent, and I think it's unfortunate.

Umm, I would argue that a good percentage of it likely is [1]. What is a twitter post doing this high up?

Another vote for puma. We're using Unicorn in our production environment right now with the unicorn-worker-killer gem, but our initial tests with ruby 2.1 and puma in dev/QA are going well so we're looking to move to that setup in the near future.

Nothing. I left soon after myself and had no interest in moving forward with the product or codebase. Didn't figure it was worth my time to challenge him about it.

He didn't get any support from me though and, if I got to know him well enough in that year, I'd say he didn't get much further with it. Google brings up nada so I'm probably right.
