Re:Gender is not a boolean on Thursday May 15, 2014 @04:05PM (#7751880)
Don't worry. We did a blind selection. We did not know which gender the person has when selecting the talks.

We just wanted this for our statistics to get a feeling if we needed to work on the CfP while it was open to get the outreach we wanted it to have.

The shower in my parents house has this. Since 1984. Mechanically. And working perfect.
Re:Ask HN: What language should I develop in? on Monday January 20, 2014 @06:06AM (#7088853)
The language is not important. There is another factor that is way more important:

Do you know people using one of the languages? If yes, you could ask them about problems you have. Will be easier than going to stackoverflow.

It is not abandoned. Just look at the github repo. I get updates for my TextMate 2.0 at least weekly.
I don't think this is needed anymore. We have a avconv pipeline already working right now :) .
We thought of this, but using this service would have been against the rails rumble rules
There are a few Kinect projects for this, one example is this:

But sign language not only consists of the hand movements. The fingers and lips are important, too. The kinect resolution is not good enough for those right now. And don't forget the facial expressions.

See this awesome comic for an explanation:

This would change my work from a hobby to being a business. If someone pays for a ticket, the roles change a bit. The person who pays will expect something from you. I personally would not do that. If you like what I do, send me a beer afterwards. Or a gittip or a flattr. But don't pay me money.
Re:Ask HN: Have you settled on a Google Reader replacement? on Wednesday May 22, 2013 @11:06AM (#5751347)
That is not the only option he added. But a final info from him how he sees reeder in the future would be great.

Ah, great! Thanks for this !

Basically I am waiting for the Reeder App Guy to Announce what he will do with the app. If he goes the "give me an google api compliant endpoint and it will connect to it", I might use https://github.com/swanson/stringer , looks really promising so far. But I need Reeder to support it first.
Re:My last name is correct and your DB validation is stupid on Wednesday May 15, 2013 @03:20PM (#5714137)
You should use some sort of caching. If you have a wordpress blog, there are several caching plugins that generate files for your Articles. Serving files instead of generating the stuff via php is way faster.
Re:Web hosting, but good on Sunday May 05, 2013 @07:12AM (#5658073)
I <3 Uberspace. The service is great, the people are awesome. Jonas visited us at our Ruby Usergroup Booth on the Sigint last year and we talked about problems he had supporting ruby on the machines. Great guy!
