Re:How cork is made on Thursday October 18, 2012 @06:39PM (#4671439)
Sometimes I think of, how in the world, somebody come up with the idea of harvesting bark of trees to cork them wine bottles.

I guess we are more or less poisoned day by day seeing yet another location-based-social-video-sharing-mobile-analytics -app.

It looks beautiful. Hosted DBs makes much more sense when monitoring is offered at the same time.
I is not capital of i in Turkish. Instead, İ is capital of i and I is capital of ı. They are two different letters.

Re:Dropbox' Public/ folders will be phased out soon on Friday June 15, 2012 @07:58AM (#4116038)
Well actually,

I am not sure if it could work at all times, but you can check for the URL of the picture within the new-style dropbox page.

Which is of course not same as Public folders.

Thanks a lot.

I don't understand the technique at art.sy - It loads a lot of stuff when you open a page for the first time but interestingly when you navigate for another page, it does not seem to be loading anything except for a 1x1 gif. How come the URL changes (full change not just like hashbangs) but nothing particular is loaded from the server? Is there a name for this technique? Is there any framework supports this?

It was available just minutes ago!! I landed a 200GB space for $50/year just before they changed the pricing plans. I should have gone for more :)

What is the point of this? Nothing is special but the location information, and there are plenty of free JS APIs.

This one of rarest stories about Microsoft on HN. It is easy to forget about Microsoft all together. Good to notice Win8 could really add up to the previous versions.

how do they make these intro videos? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIDKnDSaWqE Does this technique have a name? Are there any special tools for that?
Re:"I've got an idea for an app" on Tuesday September 06, 2011 @09:35AM (#2965517)
There is no value in ideas. It is always about hardworking with intelligent sense. Ideas are like seeds. You can grow a Giant Sequoia out of it. But if you don't know how you can not even grow a bean bud.
That's not my point. I don't have an intention to hire right now. I want to know more about general statistics.
Re:Symfony 2.0 is now available on Thursday July 28, 2011 @11:44AM (#2817336)
Sorry about misleading, when I talk about symfony and tell about its features, I tried to pick superior parts where Yii lacks
Re:Symfony 2.0 is now available on Thursday July 28, 2011 @09:33AM (#2816671)
There is also sfGuardPlugin, a great plugin for user management. It has everything about user management, easily integrates with symfony. Saves you so much time.
Re:Symfony 2.0 is now available on Thursday July 28, 2011 @09:29AM (#2816658)
I was meaning "Symfony is in a league different from the one that Yii is in"

I value Symfony so much because you can create all model classes, crud forms etc from command line (as much as you want as you update your schema) just based on specifications from a easy to manage yml file. Also with ORM behaviors, you are in control of everything about your model.

Re:Symfony 2.0 is now available on Thursday July 28, 2011 @09:21AM (#2816602)
Symfony has cool command line interface to set up projects, crud and all model classes etc. It also has backend admin genretor. There is no built in ajax and javascript function in codeigniter (But you can add it as plugin)
Re:Symfony 2.0 is now available on Thursday July 28, 2011 @09:15AM (#2816573)
Yes you are right. But It does not have to be all about yaml format itself. Instead, Symfony utilizes this format to get things done in a fast and neat way, in comparison to others.
Re:Symfony 2.0 is now available on Thursday July 28, 2011 @07:37AM (#2816249)
I should not say 'yml based settings' is a deal-breaker but it sure is a very good way of configuring the project. I personally take advantage of this convenience quite often. You can easily update your schema through yaml files and you can build&generate your whole model including auto-generated forms & filters for CRUD in a glimpse. I believe this is very friendly with agile principles.
Re:Symfony 2.0 is now available on Thursday July 28, 2011 @06:49AM (#2816151)
For those wants to know more about Symfony, I can assure you Symfony and Yii are at different leagues. Symfony is so much more featured than any PHP framework out there. Yml based settings and modeling plus the Admin Generator is one of a kind. I believe it is even better than Django and Rails, when it comes to flexibility and extensibility.
Re:Ask HN: Is an SSD worth an upgrade for the 2011 MBPs? on Monday April 11, 2011 @12:59AM (#2431464)
I have a 2.0Ghz MBP 2011 sith stock SSD 128GB. It has been a month since I bought and I have never seen the hourglass. The only downside is the suicidal feeling when you try to use another computer.
Re:2011 MacBook Pros Crash Under Load on Sunday March 20, 2011 @04:43PM (#2347351)
Actually it is not a good idea to upgrade from Apple store. It is much more expensive, it does not make sense, you can buy those from anywhere else.

Yet, there are some stuff you could only get from the Apple store like CPU upgrade.

As others mentioned, SSD upgrade makes more sense than RAM upgrade. Although you can buy the SSD from elsewhere, this time it makes a bit sense to buy it from Apple store because TRIM support is already out there for the disks you buy from Apple store in Mac OS X 10.6.6. The other SSDs are not supported yet.

so down-clocking means, losing a bit of its power?
Re:2011 MacBook Pros Crash Under Load on Sunday March 20, 2011 @09:49AM (#2346264)
they are now with 4 cores with higher clock frequency

you should definitely align Scribophile's header center.
