SOAP vs REST, which one do you prefer working with ? | arnorhs: REST wins. Hands down.I generally find it very tedious to work with web services using soap. Arbitrary variable types, complicated error reporting etc. You can fall into all kinds of problems with different standards etc...It's fine when you're a little experienced with SOAP (which I unfortunately am), but I don't think it's a format for the future. |
Anyone interested in a Sydney HN Meetup? | peterwnicholls: Id be keen! peterwnicholls@gmail.com |
Which oral language (after English)... | edanm: I'd vote Spanish (lots of countries speak it, which makes it a good language). Or Chinese - more people speaking it than any other language, I think.BTW, I started learning Spanish using the "Pimsleur method". It's an amazingly easy and quick way to learn a language, If you're looking for a way to learn a new language, I recommend looking it up. |
Please review my site/app - Dokuments.com | jkahn: First impressions on the marketing (no time to test the software, sorry):- I looked at the site and almost clicked away. There is nothing "grabby". Why would I use this? What would people that land on your site be looking for? Try answering some of those questions. Second thought: I see you have included this lower on the page. It needs to stand out more. Maybe something like "Create powerful data-collection web apps in minutes".- The concept of the animated centre section is popular and works. I think the execution here is not so good. The slides are too busy. Instead, try putting concepts/features/testimonials on the slides. E.g. "With Dokuments we developed our HR survey in hours rather than weeks - Random Company".- What's your market? I'm guessing anyone who knows the buzzwords near the top of the screen probably isn't going to buy dokuments (I could be wrong, though). Talk in their language.I hope that helps. |
What to do? Received a Cease and desist letter | nudge: I'm not a lawyer, but I would have thought that trademarks are balanced by common sense and context. So, if you have a shoe company called London, and I call myself London, you have no claim against me unless I'm also selling shoes (because it seems like I'm representing myself as you), because it's a reasonably common word that has meaning outside of your shoe-selling context.In your case 'Lindblad' appears to be a reasonably common surname. It just so happens that one person with that name set up an expedition company - I'm guessing they're the ones that wrote to you. In this case I think the company has absolutely no claim over the name whatsoever.So, here's what you do:Post the letter on your site's blog. Write an article about how you don't comply with baseless legal threats, and instead you prefer to shame companies that attempt to terrorize individuals into giving up their legitimate use of generic terms (in this case, a surname). Submit the article back here and to other places that are interested in legal overreach (reddit/boingboing.net come to mind). Send a link to your article as a response to the lawyers who wrote to you (or write a separate response but add this to your articles). Keep updating the article/blog with any responses they send you.Your customers will have increased respect for you for not giving in needlessly, and you may even get a few new users who found out about you just from this. Plus you'll have struck a small blow against the stupid use of legal threats by companies. |
SOAP vs REST, which one do you prefer working with ? | jjs: REST, by a mile.I've written programs and frameworks that handled both SOAP and REST before, and no, you can't have them, because SOAP needs to die. |
Which oral language (after English)... | quant18: You could try learning something really obscure. As far as I know I'm the only hacker within 1000 miles who speaks any Mongolian as well as fluent English. Someday, two buyers are gonna show up in that market and keep bidding against each other till my rates go to the moon! Dreaming about that day is much more fun than trying to compete with tens of thousands of (French|Chinese|Spanish|Russian)-English bilingual programmers. In the mean time, I try to hang out at a webforum from time to time and answer random tech questions in Mongolian, which makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. (Or less charitably: I can't sell my skills, so I give them away for free).To be perfectly serious, the recommendation for what language is "useful" to learn really depends on your own language learning skill --- which is a combination of inborn talent, knowing what learning methodologies suit you, and experience with compensating for a bad environment (e.g. I assume you live in the U.S. and attend an Anglophone workplace everyday).Spanish is a pretty typical answer to this question not because it's the "most useful" but because it's not that hard for English speakers to learn, it's more widespread in the U.S. than other foreign languages, and it even has some applicability in tech (a lot of people I've seen suggesting moving to Latin America to cut your cost of living while you bootstrap your startup). Chinese/Japanese is somewhat harder to speak, a lot harder to read, a lot harder to get a visa to the country as a one-man startup, etc. |
SOAP vs REST, which one do you prefer working with ? | pquerna: I've hated being a USER of APIs built on frameworks that output multiple APIs, like SOAP/REST/XMLRPC all at once.You end up with unnatural APIs in the 'REST' api.Don't get caught up in the details of 'rest', focus on developing the API for your users -- think about what Calls they need to make, make it simple, document it!, give examples, keep the output formats sane (xml and json are done easily now days), and you'll be miles ahead of most web services. |
SOAP vs REST, which one do you prefer working with ? | mseebach: The promise of SOAP is really cool, but I've found that you end up making countless special cases and arbitrary error handling anyway.The more complex and potentially fragile the in- and output of your service is, the more attractive XML becomes, since XML can be independently validated. If you have no such needs, REST will do just fine for almost anything. |
Does anyone else miss "Ask HN?" | chrislo: The other thing I miss is Hacker Hacker News (http://hackerhackernews.com/) - I wish something like that were built into HN. |
Getting on the "Ask HN" list. | cperciva: It looks like items on /ask are now ranked the same way as items on /news -- so yes, posts with no votes won't get onto the list.Personally I'd be happier if /ask was in pure chronological order. |
SOAP vs REST, which one do you prefer working with ? | mattdw: REST, please. You can generally bootstrap a REST client from any language with basic HTTP and XML/JSON/… libs (ie. basically every language.) On the other hand, doing SOAP without a dedicated library is a path to pain and suffering, and not every language has such a library. Additionally, the complexity makes it that much harder to find a reliable library. (Python, for instance, has a SOAP lib, but it's old and tends to not play at all nicely with .NET's automatic SOAP services. Last time I tried to do that it ended with wailing and gnashing of teeth.) |
SOAP vs REST, which one do you prefer working with ? | arethuza: The single most common SOAP interface that I have seen is something like:string DoStuff(string request)Where the request and the result are already XML documents!SOAP has taught me to fear any technology that starts with "Simple" - it won't be. |
Anyone interested in a Sydney HN Meetup? | 3KWA: indeed! |
Does anyone else miss "Ask HN?" | imp: I've found myself going through the HN archives when I'm looking for advice. Part of the issue with fewer ask HN questions may be that a lot of common questions have now been answered. I do think those posts are more fun to read and comment on though. |
SOAP vs REST, which one do you prefer working with ? | tobyhede: REST.So much easier to explain and consume.Plus, a modern framework like Rails essentially bakes the REST API in for you. Some of my apps are now really consumers and coordinators of Ajaxified JSON requests backed onto Rails. |
Getting on the "Ask HN" list. | revorad: Incidentally, since this particular post of yours has now got some votes, why don't you re-post your earlier question here? |
What code have you read recently? | giu: I had a look at the Haskell Prelude code: http://www.haskell.org/onlinereport/standard-prelude.htmlLots of good code in there, especially in regard of simplicity and beauty. If you're diving into functional programming, be sure to have a look at it, even if you're a beginner like I am. |
Does anyone else miss "Ask HN?" | jacquesm: All the ask hn's are now grouped together and linked from the top of every page. It's actually much easier to find them now because they effectively have a longer life than they ever did before. |
SOAP vs REST, which one do you prefer working with ? | olalonde: The consensus seems to be REST all the way (and not to implement multiple interfaces to the same API). Thanks everyone for the feedback! We're building this web service for people like you so your opinion is invaluable :) |
Should I believe the results of our A/B testing? | po: So you're saying the sale was basically yours to lose? I would think that if the results of your tests say it was significant (assuming you ran them correctly), then it probably was. If you have data, then you should use it to your advantage. What exactly makes you not trust it?It sounds like the question you mean to be asking is more like: Do I have bigger fish to fry than playing with the color of the buttons on the site? |
What code have you read recently? | vital101: Aside from the spaghetti code that my predecessor wrote, I've been reading a book called "Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship" by Robert C. Martin. The code in the book isn't always interesting for content, but rather for style and craft. He does a great job explaining industry best practices, along with How and Why they are used. |
SOAP vs REST, which one do you prefer working with ? | vsync: I actually quite like XML-RPC.SOAP is too complicated for simple services and from everything I've seen REST only defines the URL layout while the format of the data is up to you. So you end up sending some XML-RPC like thing over the transport.Then there are issues like GET requests getting arbitrarily limited in size, character encodings, and stuff that makes it not even worth trying to do function calls (even idempotent ones) with anything but POST.I wish it were otherwise. |
What code have you read recently? | olalonde: I'm currently reading "The Ruby Programming Language" (coming from a C/C++/PHP background). I'm looking forward to write my next web app using RoR. |

What code have you read recently? | revorad: I have been reading the R base library code, mainly to understand the graphics functions. I'm amazed how simple and ordinary it looks. I have never worked on a big software project and it's exciting for me to see how something powerful is built from small chunks here and there.Last year I spent some time reading the arc source code. It was a lot of fun. I didn't know any Lisp, so the recursions and macros were hard for me to get my head around, but it was amazing to realise that this site is built on some small core concepts which can be grokked if you spare the time.I loved Douglas Crockford's book Javascript: The Good Parts. Again, I couldn't understand all of it but it gave me a good feel for well-written Javascript code. |

What code have you read recently? | ntoshev: Tornado web server. It's extremely good code solving hard problems with a great attention to detail and in a minimal way. Highly recommended. |
What code have you read recently? | silentbicycle: I've been reading some BSD userland source (awk, sed, trek, and OpenBSD's netcat) parts of Lua and OCaml's VMs, Redis, and Joy. Awk and Lua's source are particularly good, IMHO.The code that had the biggest impact on me lately was the original J interpreter, though: http://nsl.com/papers/origins.htm . It looks like some sort of crazy brainfuck-ish thing, but it's not a joke. I highly recommend printing it out and trying to get in Arthur Whitney's head. (But if you run it, it will probably just segfault. It's rather cavalier with nonportable function pointer casting. It's prototype code from 20 years ago. If you want a working version, look at J (http://jsoftware.com) or Q (http://kx.com).) |
What code have you read recently? | eswat: Been looking at the MongoDB functions for the past few days. Interesting to see what has changed in them from previous releases. |

What code have you read recently? | mdg: I have read through dmenu a few times the past couple days. |
SOAP vs REST, which one do you prefer working with ? | kls: To answer you other question, yes their is nothing precluding you from using both. I know off the top of my head that Java has JAX-WS and JAX-RS which provide SOAP and REST endpoints respectively. Most languages and frameworks will have something similar. |

Gave me some insight into how they created a dual kernel system. |

Bonus points if you can get to a meetup and start making connections.I am pretty sure that making positive associations with local white hats will be more likely to get you your first security job than a certification will. |
Ask HN:How many screens for coding at one's best? | dpritchett: I find that the physical separation between two monitors helps reinforce the idea of separate workspaces for me. Running two windows side by side in a single workspace has never been comfortable for more than a few seconds. |
What code have you read recently? | allenp: Simcity source code - http://code.google.com/p/micropolis/This has a few different versions (even python) and is pretty solid/concise due to the hardware restrictions of the late 80s. |
What code have you read recently? | locopati: Spring source code - seeing how the internals connect comes up a lot when figuring out how to inject new functionality |
Ask HN:How many screens for coding at one's best? | wanderr: Honestly I think more, smaller, monitors are better than fewer big ones. Given my choice I'd happily take 3 22" monitors or even 2 21" monitors + 1 19" monitor if push came to shove. I can usually see all the code I need in one 21" monitor just fine, but usually need another one for reference of some kind: docs or watching debug output, etc. The 3rd would be for collaboration: chat windows & email. If you can isolate distractions to their own monitor, they're easier to ignore while busy and require less window management and never cover up your real work.Also in general it's more helpful to talk about monitors in terms of resolution rather than size; it's entirely possible to end up with a 27" monitor that is the same resolution as a 24" monitor, which means it doesn't actually have any more usable space, everything is just bigger, and that isn't very useful unless your devs are visually impaired. |

SOAP vs REST, which one do you prefer working with ? | wanderr: SOAP is ridiculously complex, which makes it annoying and slow. Rest has its own set of problems and annoyances, including lack of compatability with browser plugins (because browsers don't expose the http codes), and the awkwardness of trying to fit everything into the verbs offered by http, and the fundamental lack of support for betching calls because the endpoint is the method, etc, etc.Rest was awesome when it was the alternative to SOAP, but now there are alternatives to both that are significantly better. My protocol of preference is JSON-RPC 2.0. Simple, fast, compatible, handles batching, fairly human readable but also quite compact. |
Ask HN:How many screens for coding at one's best? | apowell: Have you experimented with 2 x 24" (1920x1200, not 1920x1080) running in portrait mode? |
Does Apple's new section 3.3.1 mean I cant use Boost? | st3fan: No you can use whatever library you wish. Boost is C++ so you are fine.Also, the whole clause is there to prevent Flash from happening on the iPhone. There really is not that much to worry about. |
SOAP vs REST, which one do you prefer working with ? | thstart: I can tell this after 5 years and 20+ Data Quality web services created for actual users paying actual $'s.Create separate SOAP, XML, REST services on different http addresses. That way you cover 99% of users. Different http addresses allows you to scale via different functionally isolated servers.SOAP is good for computer to computer interface using tools. Good for moderate to complex web services needing a batch processing of many records in Request/Response. Tools help with complex XML structure you get Request/Response Intellisense under .NET. You can use code generators for quick development.REST is good for a manual occasional use, good for quick test and simple single record web services not requiring a batch mode. You can look at the XML response in the browser.XML is a matter of preference and those who got familiar with pre-SOAP. You don't get Request/Response Intellisense. Using XML DOM will slow down processing - you can compose the XML quickly if doing it with string operations. Do not have any advantage over SOAP.Bottom line for our customers - early days XML pre-SOAP just created their interface and forgot it. It just works. When SOAP came the tools made possible quick development. They created it and forgot it. It works fine for them. For quick assessment new customers are using REST. Get a feeling with manual test via the browser. They can see the XML response right away in the browser. When they need multiple Request Records they usually go with SOAP. That way we are covering all bases. |
Copying the ACM library (and others) | balding_n_tired: Now and then I pay the $50/year fee to be able to use the library at the school where I got my masters. I've never looked into whether this would provide on-line stuff. You might want to see whether your university offers anything comparable. |

Frameworks for real-time collaboration in a web application? | mahmud: One you have a prototype push link up and running; server and client able to reach each other on demand, the rest is just a simple matter of user authentication, managing timestamps, and maintaining consistency between the server side data-structure modeling the shared "object" being collaberated on, and the disparate views the users have of it in their clients.This stuff can't be trivially made into a framework, because "collaboration" is not a particular problem, but a whole class of same-same but different problems (as Thais would say.) |
Please review my OpenCourseWare Search Engine | kees: Very useful product. This is a service I'm actually going to use. By the way, If you change your name to something more generic, add a couple of other educational sources to you engine as well, you will be google as academic earth is youtube. |
Refer Madness [critique my idea] | TodoneApp: Most people I've presented this idea to don't have much to say about it. If you had a similar reaction, I'm curious, is it because:1) tl;dr

3) read it; didn't get it
4) don't think it's monetizable
5) too trivial
6) already busy building itThanks :) |

SOAP vs REST, which one do you prefer working with ? | alexu: REST, because of forward and backward compatibilitySOAP is too strongly typed for most startups. Most likely you will be changing your API quite a bit over next few years and with REST for each new version of your API you have option of1. Create new entry point (new URL)2. Specify version in the HTTP headers3. Expand request/response spec with new elementsBecause most SOAP libraries implement very strong binding to WSDL schema you will be forced to create new entry point for every version of your service. FedEx learning this hard way right now. They moved their API from REST to SOAP and they have no clue how to update it now without breaking all the developers. |

Frameworks for real-time collaboration in a web application? | jeandenis: I was in a similar situation last spring and really didn't find anything that worked. But that was pre-Google Wave. Today, I believe the open-sourced wave reference server (http://code.google.com/p/wave-protocol/) includes op trans. It's under Apache 2.0 and I doubt it'd take you long to rip out and wrap op trans into something useful for you.FYI, after failing to find anything last year, I ended up implementing an operational transformation framework from scratch (using standard comet for comm). The literature's good enough that you can make sense of it all. Solo, it took me 2 weeks to implement the algorithm, another 2 weeks to put a callback framework around it to make it useful (like a SAX parser for changes to a shared xml structured document) and one more week to port it to js (original in Java) and add networking. Was a ton of fun and even useful for a couple of projects (shared canvas, text editor, collaborative UML'ing). |
When are GUIs important? | grayrest: The emphasis on functionality reflects the nature of the job. Software is generally like an iceberg in terms of time and complexity. The part you see is supported by a much larger chunk that's generally invisible. When you're starting out, it makes sense to focus on the larger, supporting part.How important a GUI is depends on the nature of the program. A significant chunk of the world's businesses depend on apps that have no GUI while more or less everything consumer-facing has a GUI. |

What's the going rate for summer developer interns at startups? | johnswamps: I would guess around 10k-15k for the summer (though I personally haven't been involved in any), depending on amount of funding, etc.
See e.g. http://rethinkdb.com/jobs |
SOAP vs REST, which one do you prefer working with ? | dmharrison: Depends on who you expect to consume it I think. If you're going to have enterprisey folks use it then they're most likely going to want SOAP etc, if you expect it to be used in service orchestration ...... then the people with that kind of skillset tend to end up using SOAP etc. General consumer access REST all the way. I've wrote a custom service that did both as there was nothing at the time that did both, but that was ~4 years ago. The REST service was never really used, I think that because for your average joe sitting there in a corporation, the training and toolset he's got is all SOAP focussed for the most part. |
Javascript development? | hellotoby: My javascript dev environment consists of the following:- Textmate (any text editor will do though)- Firefox with the following extensions:a) Web Developer Toolbarb) FirebugThe firebug console is brilliant and also helpful is the toolbar icon which displays how many errors have been encountered. I also find that console.log() is superior to alert() in almost every way when trying to debug.I honestly can't think of how this could be made better as I have grown so accustomed to this workflow that it's pretty much second nature.However, I think as localStorage becomes more widely integrated it would be helpful to have a database manager and query testing tool for developing apps requiring client-side storage. |

HN for US politics? | tokenadult: One of my most frequently made comments in discussions about United States politics is that Americans need to learn more about public policy in other countries.

please review my site | th: When middle-clicking on the "Upload Now" button on the homepage (to open the page in a new tab) the translucent overlay that says "Please wait..." appears on the current page and hangs there rendering the page useless.I suggest either treating that link differently when it is being opened in a new window/tab or using something instead of a link to completely disable the "open in new window/tab" feature in the browser. |
Ask HN:How many screens for coding at one's best? | Magneus: Either go 2 * 19 + 1 * 27 or 2 * 24. I don't think that 1 * 27 is going to cut it, particularly if you're doing GUI development. I don't feel that the consolidated workspace makes up for the loss in total surface area.My setup currently consists of:iPhone dev:24" + 13" MacBook, Vim, XCode, and iPhone simulator.
17" Linux, using Synergy with the Mac. Browser + shells. Plus stuff like email, etc, because I detest the Mac OS UI (sorry guys).Android dev:When I'm doing Android work, I disconnect the MacBook and run 24" + 17".
