Yeah, don't do that.
The whole point of autoindent in VIM is to have the editor guess at where the whitespace ought to go according to language formatting rules. However:
Python whitespace is important, as you know. As the doctor would say: Don't Do That Then.
And on that note: What the hell was the question asker smoking?
The first batch we made on Sat as a trial run were great, these ones are coming out all deformed and the butter cream icing I made on Sat was much better than tonight's.
That's what we get for rushing...
There are about 35 in the first picture, I've got about 60 rejects...
If it didn't say previous experience required, my wife could have applied based on the other requirements listed - she struggles to manage an iPad though
could be then. I'd have thought they'd want operations outside the euro zone to increase the time zones they have support staff in without having to pay out of hours premiums
This happens many times that the availability of inbuilt scanpst.exe or inbox repair tool are not helpful most of the time specially when the corruption problem is very severe. And at last fails to resolve the problem. So in that condition you can try third party PST repair tool to resolve the pr...
@SpacemanSpiff it's not just about linux kernel. I don't know many things about Linux, like filesystems, partitions etc. I want to learn every bit of it
It takes a certain mindset to use Linux, be prepared to be frustrated, and be prepared to read.the.manual. If you can't understand the manual, you're usually missing something fundamental.
Kind of like someone who "thinks" they know networking is handed the manual for QoS or VoIP dial peer configuration feels like they're reading another language entirely.
Well yes, but any kind of documentation, a good bit of formal documentation is just parameters and explanations of command options, not to educate you on technique or objective.
If you lurk SF for a while you'll start to see the influx of "Hi, I'm going to write a new Facebook competitor this morning. I expect 30 million users by next month - should I use a Mac?"
@its_meα Can I just say that no large site you've ever heard of got to even being remotely well known status without calling in the experience of domain experts - it doesn't matter how smart young guys are they can't do it all and will repeat previously-made mistakes if they don't call in those who've done this before. Go to facebook/google/flickr and there'll be guys in their mid-30's or older who've built previous systems - don't try to break this cycle/rule, you'll fail.
@Chopper3 : Large hosting companies like Softlayer, Rackspace, and Voxel offer enterprise-grade managed hosting with dedicated support team. Can that substitute the need for employing experts???
I expect so, but not if you don't work with them on scaling - nobody can scale from tiny to huge without many levels of reengineering along the way and all of that will be based on the various assumptions and measurements that can be taken at that time, these change along the way so need rework - so yeah they'll help but if you try to run flickr on them then it'll cost many times what it'd cost to do it yourself with people who know what they're doing
@its_meα So is this what you're building? some kind of flickr alternative? if so is it your company or are you just working on it? what sort of investment do you have?
It's just me. I can spend up to $10,000 a month. And I believe that would be okay for a start. Since it's a paid service, I guess the premium subscriptions will pay for the increasing costs.
(premium subscriptions - directly proportional to - service usage - directly proportional to - costs)
@Chopper3 and did you or your company have any experience with Softlayer, Rackspace, or Voxel so far?
At the end of the day there are few substitutes for having at least one expert actually on your side of the fence. Even if their main expertise is in talking to the real experts at your hosting companies/cloud providers and detecting bullcrap
So you're happy to invest $120k/pa but don't want to bring in a DBA to consult for you? and it's your company but you want to do the programming? Seems odd, are you a business guy or a coder? not sure you can be both
designing and building really complex systems with a lot of dependencies is just as hard in the systems / networking side of things as it is in the programming side of things.
Plus £120k, spent wisely, would actually get you a pretty useful block of basic infrastructure, a TINY fraction of what you'd need to handle even a few % of flickr's workload but it'd work at least
To me, what's going to seperate you from Flickr? It's not like the world needs "another" image hosting site, what's going to make your one stand out and be successful?
what about marketing, how are you approaching this, what are your market research numbers to justify this? also how will a subscription model work in comparison to your competition?
@its_meα you don't need an FTE DBA, but one who would look at the requirements and tell you what DB to start with - because believe you me, whatever you start with will need changing before you get to 2 x flickr stages, nothing scales from zero to that level, nothing free anyway
@itsme - hiring an expert to help you succeed can be costly. But let me put it this way, if you think hiring an expert to help do it right is costly, you should see the cost of doing it wrong and then hiring someone to put it right.
And don't forget that you can contract someone for the hours you need rather than signing on a full time employee, if needs be.
I work as a SysAdmin in a public school in the UK. I get a lot less than someone in a private school, and they would get less that somone working for a bank, or something like that, where downtime means loss of serious money. cough eBuyer cough
@its_meα This is homework right? please don't waste our time if it is, just pick a product and list its pro's and con's - that's all the tutor wants, if he reads it at all. If it's not homework you need to start WAY lower down the list of priorities than what DB to use, you need a business plan, cash flow plan, you need to understand the market and create a differentiated product/service and route to market. Watch the Apprentice, this isn't easy and it's not cheap or quick either.
I started building "servers" at my moms attic when I was 12 years old, consisting of outdated hardware running FreeBSD.. I've tried to get as much work as I could since then, and I'm now 29.. there are lots of people making tons of more money below my age
@Chopper3 Okay, that's £9000 a month ~ $14000 per month?! That's costly mean. This is my plan. I will build something nice, the best I can. Launch it, and see how it goes. I have nothing to lose.
@itsme building something "the best you can" at a lower level then scaling up if the demand is there is likely to work out better than trying to launch a site that tries to be everything and overstretches itself from day one
@tombull89 No offense. I know that's more. But for hosting costs (dedi servers), paying someone to do stuff etc. it's not enough. I meant "only" from a startup point-of-view. Sorry
@Chopper3: Something strange: Flagged 2 posts as spam, both posts are gone now. Flags not deemed helpfull/declined. Is there anything that can be done about this?
@its_meα ok, you're not getting this, you want to 'launch' your web site - tell me how you do that, what happens the day you launch, how do people learn about your site so that they may choose whether to give you money or not - right now the underpant gnomes from south park have a better business plan
@Chopper3 oh that! I will first list out the pros of my service/product. Then send emails to my contacts (bloggers), TechCrunch, Mashable etc. Private beta with exclusive invites to those sites etc.
I am sure, i will learn a lot from the feedback I get through the private beta stage
with all due respect, that's exactly the same as a million other startups that, well, start up and aren't clear what problem they're solving that people actually have and disappear without a bang.
you don't need to talk to the new media twats at mashable half as much as you need to get hold of a target audience, whoever that is, and explain exactly what real life problem they actually are having that your site solves, and how either no one else solves that or how they're all crap compared to you because you've spotted something they miss
Look, dude - fair play if you go for it and kudos if it works for you. We need start ups and we need people with ideas and I'm not trying to stifle that. But you're going about this ass backwards
we're not being cynical about this 'cos we're cynical bastards... well i mean we are all cynics... but we're just hoping to help you do the right thing. I certainly wish you luck wherever you go with this :-)
that's cool, that's what we're here for. Though both sites are more "I have this precise bug with this precise (programming/network/whatever) issue" than "help me design my infrastructure".
There's a lot of assumptions that people make about that kind of thing that really need to be handled on a proper face to face, one to one basis rather than crowdsourced
also you need to know this; no programmer can run a business - never, not for more than a year max anyway, if you're a programmer do programming jobs, don't try to do both jobs, you'll fail. Someone passes Obama a coffee every day but it doesn't mean that guy could become president and make his own coffee
when you're betting the farm on someone's design you need to look them in the eye and see just how confident they really are in the answers they're giving you
my wife's got me watching a twitter feed to find out when a shop is getting in some felt animal kits so I can buy them - ffs, is this what my life has become??
Yeah, don't do that.
