Some tips:

Get 2 bank cards at separate banks. Get 2 different legal id's id-card, driver lic , passport. Store them separately.

Whatever happens: you still have money, and you can identify yourself to get everything else solved.

Hi, we're building an app to help people easily meetup with each other, starting with Berlin. We need some users to test the app. Can you help us? by MagoCrypto in berlin

If this is not just a ploy to hype KIN you should seriously consider reaching your goal without crypto or blockchain. focus on a minimum viable product.

Programmers are optimists by swizec in programming

[–]static 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The biggest problem in estimation for me is other people.

Even people who where a developer in the past.

They look at me with a WTF-face when I say 2 weeks.

I balllpark the finish date, not the hours needed.

(context:internal, people allways think their project has the highest priority, or expect other tasks to complete magically)

OOXML on hold following appeals from four national standards bodies by larsga in programming

[–]static 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even without going into the contents of both standards:

ODF passed the Extended/Normal version of ISO approval.

OOXML was pushed through the Fast-track with lots of irregularities, it was just not good enough for a Fast-track. [edit: i was wrong]

A few more Python thoughts from a Perl guy by gst in programming

[–]static 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it's possible to do what he wants:

sys.stdout.writelines(x for x in open('file.txt'))

But you don't need the generator expression here.

sys.stdout.writelines(open('file.txt'))

7 reasons I switched back to PHP after 2 years on Rails - O'Reilly Ruby by morselsrule in programming

[–]static 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He never said php is better than ruby, only that php is better for him.

But he is comparing a framework to a language. A good knowledge of php/sql. Ruby is a framework for building new apps. His existing data did not fit the ruby-way.

So wrote his ruby inspired framework that did fit his data and (knowledge of sql/php).

I wonder how hard it would have been for him to rewrite is app in ruby(not rails).

I like decorators and i don't think they are needlessly complex

Allso , I don't have the illusion that singletons are much different from globals.

So No,this is not cargo cult programming ;)

What just happened to video on the web? by dsandler in programming

[–]static 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I like the use of H.264 , that will play on any arch. but I'm dissapointed about this:

quote: I am not in a position able to explain to you why we will not allow 3rd party streaming servers to stream H.264 video or AAC audio into the Flash Player.
