Armin is da bomb.

I absolutely loved Flask... then I met Node.js. Python is great, don't get me wrong (7 years, 5 of which as a paid Python/C++ developer) but production tasks are better served by f…

I hope they fight this in court.

So... why use Kickstarter at all? Projects could just as easily be marketed on HN & Reddit. Does the backer feel safer going through KS?

somewhere, a low orbit ion cannon is warming...

Completely agree. I find the lack of basic security un-fucking-acceptable and in need of public shaming. Good security should define the underlying template/infrastructure for your…

That will just kill liquidity and bias the market further towards larger agents. EU is going to shit anyways, so I'm all for it. Fug Capitalism. Viva 99%. (sarcasm intended)

It would also kill liquidity, which means next time we go into a recession and you hit the panic button on your 401k, I won't have a resting bid to catch you. The problem isn't HFT…

tl;dr my 2 cents: masturbation for billionaires.

This is by far the coolest epic failure-to-be. Kudos to those with money to burn.

But GV gives you a number and handles forwarding... for free. Is porting worth $120/year?

Lame. Google Voice is free.

Perhaps it could also be argued that she doesn't use it because she understands it too well... Come on, you think that new NSA station in Utah is limited to foreign surveillance?!

Sussman must get so pissed after reading stuff like this (after he wgets the page and opens it up in his email client, that is).

I'm not going to debate absolutes, but it is patently obvious that Android is relatively more open than iOS or Windoze by such an immense margin that your statement seems, well... …

Hence, they wrote a MATH text. Duh.

Title should be "... better at blocking malware on the steaming pile that is Windows...". Chrome/Fox are just fine on my Linux box.

I reiterate, the usage was off. I could give a fuck, honestly, about bad language. But when I cuss, it is for a fucking reason. Get it? I didn't mask anything above with "*" . I fu…

That is what the kiddies are into, I guess...

Yeah, the vulgarity seems off to me. I love a good curse word here and there, but you have use them wisely (or else you just sound like a jackass).

I hear you: it sucked. But no matter how much a default setting might suck, it is still a "setting", as in, it can be changed. Unity got Canonical started down a very slippery slop…

Yeah, Lubuntu looks promising. I'm very happy with Mint's Debian edition, but I'll have to set up a box with Lub. Ubuntu server is still excellent.

I encourage EVERYONE to follow this phenomenal advice!!! ... and when the next tech bubble bursts, I look forward to picking up good CHEAP programmers without college degrees. MWAH…

I switched to Linux Mint Debian Edition a while back. Cinnamon is a great desktop. Don't miss the steaming pile of Ubuntu. It was great while it lasted, but then came Unity and now…

Gawd. Unity, and now this garbage. Should be interesting to see how Mint does...
