tarminian··on British Regulator Urges Home Births Over Hospitals for Uncomplicated Pregnancies
The study was a retrospective study, they looked at data from birth certificates that did not sort out planned and unplanned homebirths and did not sort out the type of midwife (trained vs untrained). Here is a better study to consider: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22015871 .

You are arguing from emotion rather than logic.
tarminian··on British Regulator Urges Home Births Over Hospitals for Uncomplicated Pregnancies
Easy to dismiss, she is biased against any kind of natural birth and uses flawed studies in her arguments.

That is a biased source of information.
tarminian··on Why PHP is better than Python
FB had to build an actual compiler for PHP in order to get real performance.
tarminian··on Why PHP is better than Python
So, PHP is better because Python sucks? That is how I read their list. Also, I get lots of spam from leasweb ip blocks. Guess php is better for sending spam.

tarminian··on Ask HN: Is Drupal suitable for an AppStore?
Drupal 8 is now built on top of Symfony. Slow? Never had that experience, it has always been super fast for me. It runs on php, and that is dangerous in and of itself.

No wonder it doesn't work on my phone.
tarminian··on The dark side of .io
First time I've seen it. I think it has a lot of relevance, we all need to think more about the things we purchase. That chocolate bar you just ate was probably produced using slave labor, those new cool shoes, made with sweat shop labor by young girls. To just brush off articles like this is insensitive.
tarminian··on Why you can’t get strippers’ names with public records requests
The real first amendment problem is that you have to have a license to express yourself in this manner, to strip.

tarminian··on The Decline of Drupal, or How to Fix Drupal 8
"A good deal of the really innovative folks have left the Drupal island."

Unless the pool of innovative folks is stagnate this doesn't make any sense.

tarminian··on The Decline of Drupal, or How to Fix Drupal 8
"The technical winners (Panels, complex ODBC, entity fields…) were the opposite of what we were rooting for. I’d rather configure my apps with code rather than layers of complex and limitating UI."

I'm not sure what you mean by "complex ODBC" since ODBC is not used in Drupal. The opposite of what you were rooting for is for the end-user to have less power and the coder more power. Get this, Drupal is not taking that power away from you, it is giving some of it to the end-user. It is 2014 and there are still products out there that you have to modify using in-line code in order to get a simple feature such as hiding the author of a post. This is where Drupal gets it right, by letting the end user have more power, they get the site they want, not the site that a coder hands them. Don't like the way posts are displayed on the home page, then create a new view in a UI, not in a php while loop.

There are some beautiful things in Drupal and Drupal 8 is going to be even better. Drupal is an excellent example of software getting better by rebuilding, using best practices rather than just keeping cruft from 10 years ago.

tarminian··on Uber's dirty tricks quantified: Rival counts 5,560 canceled rides
I see the Uber people have gotten to this post. I guess I don't understand how Uber/Lyft is any different from a standard Taxi company. Me, I'll stick with the bus or Car2Go if this is the way they act.

And now you see why we have taxi regulations.

In morse code, one never breaks up the characters like this keyboard does. All characters are made up of combinations of DIT and DAH, not DIT, DAH, DIT DAH, DAH DIT.
tarminian··on Choose Firefox Now, Or Later You Won't Get A Choice
Iceweasel is probably your issue. I don't use the Debian hack of firefox and have no problems, >50 tabs open all the time. Also, looks like the last release of pentadactyl was March 15, that is old by Internet standards. I don't think firefox is the issue here.
tarminian··on Choose Firefox Now, Or Later You Won't Get A Choice
How many firefox users actually use those add-ons? I'm a vim user, but that doesn't mean I want to use vim key-bindings everywhere.
