While I, too, found that part intriguing, the article mentions that the guy has been working as a prison guard since being rejected. Could be that he just wanted to make money by being a police officer and that department missed out on a great hire. Not to mention the fact that the nature of the work can definitely change as long as they're promoting from within.

Django-facebook is the only one I know of that will support the Graph API right now: https://github.com/tschellenbach/Django-facebook

For just the fundaments:

Facebook's own SDK: https://github.com/facebook/python-sdk/blob/master/examples/...

or

Requests: http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/index.html

If you need more providers, there's also Django SocialAuth, but I'm not sure if it's updated for Facebook's OAuth 2 stuff yet.

Apparently, they sell software that adds mouseover hotspots to photos (revealing an informative div, like Flickr, Facebook, or Bing). It costs $4000. :/

Show HN: Crondom 16 years ago

Why is it called Crondom? It sounds a bit like some form of 'protection' for cron.

How many times is this going to be posted?

These answers are all pretty long. The answer is yes, definitely, without a doubt. Practical means "for use in practice" and PHP powers a lot of your daily web applications, especially the simpler ones. Judging from your question text, at your skill level, PHP is sufficient if not ideal for development, deployment, and performance.

MySQL is also fast and easy.

Seems a bit off-topic, combatively presented, and oversimplified. Then again, I guess attention doesn't garner itself.

While this is true, am I missing something? VICI.tv doesn't have a fullscreen button. At most it just takes up 100% of the width of the browser window.

Unrelatedly, I am really enjoying this, but also am wondering if it was a conscious design decision to remove the progress bar? Usually TV ends on the 00, 15, 30, 45 minute marks, but here it's hard to predict when the current clip will end.

This is true, Chrome works no problem. Real slashes are the right method, though. Running it through Firefox (I'm on 3.6) would have revealed the issue.

I was kind of surprised to see it available so quickly. I heard the high-resolution photo announcement what seems like months ago and I just checked; still don't have it. Maybe I heard the announcement wrong?

I was hoping for something more concrete. For instance, consider that terrible programmers stay in the job market for a long time, so you may encounter them more often. Also, if you're not doing your own recruitment, non-technical, keyword-seeking recruiters can be a hindrance to finding good people.

This post just seems to be emphatically reasking the question "Really, guys? Really??"

Rule number 1 of the club: No offensive names or locations

And member #7 (of 24 thus far) is named Tits McGhee, from Whale's Vagina (a slang term for San Diego, it seems.)
