Re:Django is now (officially) on GitHub on Saturday April 28, 2012 @04:24AM (#3902396)
For long time core devs wanted to use support the common denominator (svn) and let users choose their frontend (hg-svn, git-svn, svk).

Now they realised that github presence will raise number of contributors.

This should not feel special at all. :-/
Re:Poll: HN EU readers, should we start lobbying the EU? on Saturday December 03, 2011 @04:57AM (#3307413)
I've spent some years in Scotland and I was amazed with how robust and effective most govt services were (at least ones I've used). Poland and Austria (were I lived, too) are nowhere near that.

I wish you could go to any govt office in any of EU countries and do your business in English.

Why? Django (trunk) has new files layout.

    $ django-admin.py startproject testo 
    $ cd testo
    $ ./manage.py startapp testapp

    $ tree                                                                                                    
    .
    ├── manage.py
    ├── testapp
    │   ├── __init__.py
    │   ├── models.py

Cool, they have just broken most of email regexps.

Humble bundle did this.
I'm happy to see Polish researchers doing something people will buy. Major problem for Polish science is lack of commercial opportunities.

True, there's no guarantee. There's no guarantee that you'll find "work at a company that lets you work on interesting problems and learn new skills". Everything here is subjective. :]
Re:How to Become a JavaScript Badass on Wednesday August 18, 2010 @07:42AM (#1613827)
Because start-up require people to do all kind of stuff. You'll learn front-end and (some) back-end and will have bigger picture, which generally is "A Good Thing".

After "Jenny DryErase" hoax it's hard to believe in sincerity of this. Especially because it's written too well.
Re:Be happier: Rent Everything on Wednesday August 11, 2010 @05:50AM (#1594301)
Most of my friends (in Poland) spend monthly less for mortgage than they would on rent. It seams that housing/mortgage market here is very different.
Re:Be happier: Rent Everything on Wednesday August 11, 2010 @05:24AM (#1594260)
What magnitude of X are we talking about? Where I live (Central Europe), the difference is really small.
Re:Be happier: Rent Everything on Wednesday August 11, 2010 @04:55AM (#1594229)
What sense does it make? If you rent apartment(s) for 10 years, you give money out and you have nothing afterwards. Mortgage, on other hand, is more investment: you will have something valuable after paying it back.

Is renting everything a new way to be cool?

Maybe it's not programming that you're interested in. Maybe it's just making money? If that's the case, consider changing studies.

It works well only on uniformly distributed keys. Not everyone has pleasure to work with such data.

Looking at this this post, I think we need hackerjobs.eu
Re:Denied: Python Micro-Framework (Sinatra-like) on Friday April 02, 2010 @06:35PM (#1237756)
It would be good joke, only... Python has so many ugly web-frameworks, that this doesn't make any difference.
