Atm debits an account first using a transaction and after that if something wrong happens atm credits an account with "second" transaction. If second transaction fails, bank can always check the situation and credit later if it's necessary.
Maybe somebody with an experience elaborate how the process works ?
Writing a tutorial / informative blog post in coffeescript is like : Giving an English lesson in Chinese while teacher and students are native speakers of English.
And i really don't understand why particularly rails developers looks down to newcomers. If you want to help your community just write tutorials, share your experiences from real life, help to newbies and make other's life easier. If you want to entertain other peopler, well , just write crappy blog posts with such title like " Will X be new Y ? "[1]
[1] : But please read first the article about "Betteridge's Law of Headlines" on Wikipedia.
Even my OS and browser are in English and i made search with "English words" ( eg. "operating system" instead of "Betriebssystem" ), search results are in German because i'm in Germany.
At some level it's acceptable but things get weird when i use my girlfriends notebook ( english OS, chinese browser ) : Now google decides to obey "Accept-Language" and even i sign in with my google account, google switch language to Chinese. Since google tries and fails to being "smart" , i have to switch constantly between English, German and Chinese.
Show me some network stuff. Show me how can i write a simple crm ( no not like the one on their blog ) " with " centeral db and gives me ability to work with my coworkers together. Show me how can i gather information from different sources ( web, db v.s. ) and analyse it.
Don't get me wrong : cloudfront is a cool tech and obviously useful too but a bold claim like " we don't need nginx ( or any performance oriented web server ) because we have cloudfront " is just the very wrong way of thinking.
Looks like we need a sarcasm alert on HN, like spoiler alerts :)
>The reason why the content itself is not served under https is precisely to avoid the SSL warning.
That annoying warning is the hearth of the secure connection. It surprises me how people choose an easy way and doesn't care about "doing things right"

Sorry if i missed but : Who are you ? Please put some information about "yourself" somewhere on your site. And if you can, please answer these questions on your page :
- What is your company name and legal type ?
- What is your location ?
- How can i contact to you ? No, support@gridspot.com doesn't count, put some landline numbers too.
- Who are your team members ?
And please don't use " Whois guard" ?
edit: Looks like, downvoting is easier than answering the questions. Seriously, can you explain to me : why do you trust some company which doesn't give any information about itself ?
Right way should be involving in a process of developing standards, not changing some chars because some new tech come and has problems with the language ( going rampage as you mentioned earlier isn't also a valid solution ).
They can be "google" and they can be good at infrastructure but i see "image transfer" is problematic here: i want to know that i can "speak" with someone when something went wrong , past experiences shows it's nearly impossible.
(When my account is locked ,i don't want to loose my servers, email, docs, im, storage and thereafter my job...)
But the thing is, drapache is for the programmers [1], if you read full readme you will notice, to use drapache you need to understand basics of programming ( maybe js for static pages and python for dynamic pages).
Now, i understand "It's c00l" but the coolness != useful
[1]Readme/.dbpy : Although far from finished, the dbpy framework is enough for beginning programmers to get started building dynamic websites.
1- Trading expensive bandwidth for a cheap storage isn't economically logical.
2- Any web developer should understand how web works and he should be comfortable with ftp, apache/nginx/iis, git(/mercurial), etc...
Page long commenting on a fluffy article ( e.g "5 * 5 - 3" beats "5*5-3" ) may be good for your mind but imho, this thing should not be on the front page.
I lost my card and someone found it, went to biggest/main branch of the bank in nuremberg and draw 100€ from cash desk ( this all happened in 3 hours and yes, bank personal doesnt asked/checked identity ). When i found out i lost my card, i called the service line and blocked my card ( though confirmation, my card wasn't blocked ).
After two week rush and paperwork i get my money back ( i know i lost my time but it was never about money ).
There is always some chance to get your money back but the real problem is you're loosing your liquid that's why debit cards has daily/weekly limits.
- If you're not in US, your goverment can shut down Gmail ( for ex. because google is trying to evade tax. )
- Streak can be sold to anycompany which just want to push their services.
Streak should actually be something like Thunderbird extension with RDBMS running in background
They didn't own basecamp.com then, now they have.
"Project name is bigger than domains" is a part of lie part of true: Product and it's name important but if you can't get the domain just be arrogant and say to people it doesn't matter. But because you know the importance of the domain name , when you have money and chance get the domain and rule the world.
i think you're missing one important point : ramos alarm clock doesn't/can't solve the wake-up problem ( people just have to go to the bed early and have a purpose to wake up early ) and just another alarm clock screaming at 6 o'clock in the morning isn't "sexy".
If one would buy it, it would be because the nixie tube and remote control. It looks retro (=good ) but you can remote control it and it wakes you up by the "super hipster nerd" way ! I think you should remove LCD model or if you insist to keep it , give it a modern look ( aluminium case etc ).
If someone send me such a resume for " engineering position ", i would probably stop watching after 10 seconds.
By the way : concrete isn't bad as you think. There are different type of concrete.But... While it's strong and resistant to fire, if you live in somewhere where the earth quakes are common, concrete is a bad choice. Also metal frames in the concrete is problematic, they have to be resistant to the water (galvanized etc.) or in time they will rust and tear apart the concrete.
* Buzz
* Code Search
* University resarch program for google search.
* Jaiku
* Dodgeball
That services either acquired or created by Google. They were valuable but now closed . For example : Buzz has fascinating technology behing it, but still failed. Google didn't understand users ( there was not so much people because of the invitation thing and mass was important ), user wasn't able to understand "What the heck is the Google Buzz" ( communication error by google ? ).
As for G+, Eric Schmidt's response wasn't the nicest response to give the users who complains about real name policy. And again "elite g+ club" enthusiasm was a mistake, like buzz, because a social network means nothing without your friends ( this time they realised their mistake and act before it's too late ).
