I mean, I wouldn't consider it if I hadn't worked with his dad for 5 years. It's not like I'm actually hiring, but yeah.

I was aware of those 3 rules, and was really looking for the citation on 3 earlier. I was thinking about paying him, I can afford a few hours of minimum wage, and if I think I can't I can always stop it, but even then I'm not 100% certain what I'd need to do for that. Do I actually need to file for incorporation of some kind? at this point I'd probably just go sole proprietorship if I have to. Then I'd guess I'd need to either have him do a 1099 or W2 of which I might need to contract out to a HR company to deal with some of it, especially because of the across state lines stuff. I honestly only vaguely remember my employment around his age.

I just want to ensure I don't somehow end up with them owning half the startup if it ever goes somewhere by virtue of a later lawsuit.

right, but what if it is open source code? even though it's something the startup would use.

Also it's not clear to me if a minor can actually contribute to an open source project legally as they have to be able to accept a contract legally I would think.

nothing to see here, move along.

I'd much rather have excellent documentation, and less crappy defaults so I don't have to ask so many questions, or do as much search, or blog as many "how to's", but we can't all get our wishes.

sigh I usually only click on other peoples questions if I think I know how to answer it. That's like 70% there's another 20% which might be curiosity, and maybe 5% other reasons. (This is all not including Unix SE where I read stuff to see if it needs retagging or editing or some other form of moderation.)

So imagine if everyone did what you did and now 50% of question askers really don't need an answer, they're just trying to add yet another source of "documentation*. If the noise ratio was that high I wouldn't bother.

Idk about you but my blogs return quite quickly on google if you search for something I wrote about. This seems like a more appropriate outlet for this kind of thing. Of course if the dev's around you have forgotten how to search... well I doubt they are worth what they're paid.

You need enough rep to edit a post, but really the question isn't the problem. It's the fact that you didn't actually need an answer.

It's really more that it seems to be self serving, because you weren't really asking a real question. The StackExchange model isn't really a Wiki, or a blog, or whatever. If you want to write user friendly documentation there are lots of ways to outlet that. SE is about people who have real problems that are really searching for some help, IMO, or maybe the just want to learn something they didn't know about (e.g. what's your favorite editor might get answers that included editor's and reasons you'd never heard of).

I do think this adds noise to signal, because what people who answer questions are there for is to help people who need it. You didn't, and thus it seems more self serving.

I think even if you thought the question should have been asked... you should have waited a day (or longer) and given someone else a chance to answer the question. Then you could have accepted their answer, or written your own if it wasn't good enough.

It does very much look like badge/rep whoring.

I've answered my own questions many times on SO site's... but I don't think that you should ask a question you know the answer to when you ask.

I do not think SO is a wiki for programming question. I feel it's a place for people to go for help when they have a problem.

Given I occasionally ask questions I could have looked up, so it helps other people, and occasionally I end up answering my own question (by looking it up), after I've given others a chance to provide an answer.

It just feels like abusing the system by asking a question you know the answer to. That will stay unanswered for 2 days (since that's how long it takes before you can accept your own answer). At the very least he should have given other people a chance to answer, instead of rep whoring.

Who cares? the question is when you say it do people understand what you're talking about? This is a holy war thing.

'Postgre' is improper always. You should either say 'Postgres' or 'Post gres que el'. There is a Factoid on the Postrgres site about proper pronunciation, and there have even been discussions about just going back to the name 'Postgres' which was the original name of the project.

I'm not sure 4 is in the right order, considering you didn't name anyone/anything. I would put kernel dev's above framework devs. 0 and 1 are equal in my mind. Basically you should be able to give names for up to your #8 if you can't name person/company/project it should probably be lower.

I would order 0 1 (etc), 2, 3, 5, 8, 4, 7, 9, 10 11, 12, 13, 14 (comma placement is explicit where I find those levels equivalent)

Looking at the browsers it lists IE aside it seems out of date. I don't know but I'd speculate most chrome users are on v5. I'm running v7

Chicken McNuggets because someone just made me hungry for them.

oh has to be online? umm... some book.

well really it's mostly hacked together with perl ;)

coldfusion has that pretty much built in...

it's a client to the restful interface... web browsers current suck at restful interfaces because forms don't support all the http methods, and you can use your own image for a button (or other form element).

I personally think you can learn everything you need to know by reading ch8 and on. the appendices are a great HTTP reference. seriously though the book seems to rehash the same stuff over and over, ch8 is more of a summary of that same stuff.

and the non spamish reasons for wanting to verify an account on a server. e.g. security risk.

C, C++, Java, Javascript are all members of the C family of languages... even if created by different people for different reasons.

Speculatively, there are more than 2 Pythons. Python, like perl has become a family of languages. Some time ago Perl Mongers accepted that Perl 6 was not the next version of Perl but a new language in the Perl family. I suspect Python 3 is to Python 2 as Perl 6 is to Perl 5. Google's Go is also a language in the python family I think.

call it "Pesticide" hehe... something to do with 'bug squashing' or tracking..

* allow more projects for free accounts I have tons of 'tiny' projects on github. (even if you limit the space) in fact I'd say make space the limiting factor.

* does user limits include people not part of the project? (meaning my foss users that aren't contributers)

* why no demo? (that doesn't require registration)

* why is your support on GetSatisfaction? something to be said about drinking your own Kool-Aid... which it appears you are not. (being able to play with your bugs would be enough of a demo for me )

* can I email patches/replies to your tracker? and attach files? (I'm too lazy to sign up but these are both features in RT for cpan that I wish were on github (because I hate RT for other reasons))

Don't get high on your own supply.

on top of things like using Ajax you might want to read up on RESTful web services for building services. Jquery and Jquery UI are great otherwise.

"I got some great advice from a high school teacher once, when I was in a similar situation (questioning the usefulness of the curriculum): You only get to say it's substandard once you ace it. Any time before then, or forever if you drop out, your opinion means nothing. He was completely right."

I agree to an extent. I've gotten the 2 following questions on exams of mine wrong. Tell me what you think of the fact that I call them substandard even though I'm not acing the tests.

Which of the following is a primary color? A) pink B) Yellow C) green D) brown # I don't really remember A and D.. but according to color theory both B and C are primary colors depending on the color wheel you're using. The answer wanted was C I said B. the teacher wouldn't give me credit although I could empirically prove that B was a primary color and was taught as such in grade school.

what will i be when the loop exits while ( i < 5 ) { i++; } A. 4 B. 5 C. 6 D. 7

the correct answer to this question is completely dependant on what i is initialized to which was not in the test. I think the question was a little different. I assumed it was initialized to 0. The tested wanted it to be initialized to 1. This teacher gave us credit.

I think google's tasks can do what you need... it has more than what you probably need but you don't have to do that.

I'd like to mention. Please don't ask us this question just to validate a decision you've already made. If you're wrong about how fast you can find a job you'll regret just quitting later. I know. I don't think anyone will tell you that you shouldn't leave. If you can find one fast... you should be able to do it with the job you have, and still leave that one on good terms.

And with a still unstable economy it's probably your best bet.

(I didn't apply this round) but things like that might give you some insight. Mostly on whether it's worth applying again. If they say there #1 reason is 'no cofounder' you'll get one and apply again later. if there #1 reason is 'not our kinda product' then you won't apply again. There reason could even be "I don't get it" and you realize your pitch may be the reason to blame.

No feedback is not really helpful to anyone. All anyone knows is they were rejected for potentially arbitrary reasons.
