adolfoabegg··on Show HN: Diffmatic – A daily GitHub digest for dev teams
Hey, this looks cool but I don't want grant write permission to my public and private repos just to get a daily status update. Is it possible to ask for read-only perm?

adolfoabegg··on Ask HN: What horrifying and/or terrible things have you seen in production code?
It was 2005, I had to execute an Oracle function from c#. The PL/SQL programmer that created the package/function told me that the function will return a single string.

The returned string had the info a customer concatenated, like this:

    Pete      McDonald  5519500303
The instructions - to extract the data - were:

  The indexes from 0 to 9 will contain the name (please trim the trailing spaces)
  The indexes from 10 to 19 will contain the last name (same, please trim)
  20 to 21 will contain the age of the customer
  the rest of the string contains the customer's birthday

EDIT: formatting

adolfoabegg··on RethinkDB: An open-source distributed database built with love over three years
Why would I switch to homebrew? I've been using Macports for 2 years now and I never had any issues with it. It works. Also migrating from Macports to homebrew (in case there's a good reason to do it) it would be a painful experience. I would have to start from scratch right?

adolfoabegg··on Ask HN: Still acceptable to use PHP for new projects?
Time to market is vital, if you know php, build your project with it. If you want to keep it clean: use a framework and TDD.
adolfoabegg··on Beginner Learning Python: 2.7 or 3?
From Learn Python The Hard Way: http://learnpythonthehardway.org/book/ex0.html

A programmer may try to get you to install Python 3 and learn that. You should tell them, "When all of the python code on your computer is Python 3, then I'll try to learn it." That should keep them busy for about 10 years.

adolfoabegg··on Oracle shuts down PostgreSQL test servers
from the same post:

"In technology, the low end always eats the high end. It's easier to make an inexpensive product more powerful than to make a powerful product cheaper. So the products that start as cheap, simple options tend to gradually grow more powerful till, like water rising in a room, they squash the "high-end" products against the ceiling."

adolfoabegg··on Oracle shuts down PostgreSQL test servers
They're trying to avoid what Paul Graham said:

"It's very dangerous to let anyone fly under you. If you have the cheapest, easiest product, you'll own the low end. And if you don't, you're in the crosshairs of whoever does."
