I love Perl [I have been to perl monger meetings and I had to look up how to 'unshift' in python today].

But Python3 is mostly just Python2 with a print function instead of a print keyword. It is occasionally non-trivial to port large existing code bases from Python2 to Python3, but it is practically always trivial for a Python2 programmer to write new code in Python3.

I hope Perl 6 will get its own camel book!

I don't know a lot about international electronic communication surveillance, but wouldn't GCHQ be responsible to the United Kingdom, whereas Germany would spy through the BND and France would spy through the Brigade de Renseignement?

"Stocks" in that quote is short hand for "stock prices".

When Tinkerrr's cited paper says that "stocks and bonds tend to run in opposite directions" they are saying they have a negative price correlation.

My teeth are lucky I brush them.

If they are holding out hope for more skillful brushing, tant pis pour eux!

Also libraries and their features can be very regional.

First bulletpoint in your cited article reads:

>In the short run, stocks and bonds tend to run in opposite directions to fluctuations in investor risk appetite

I take this excerpt to mean that Pimco shares the same "common wisdom" assumption that Chollida1 does

Great book that covers the English economy through the time of Enclosure:

I like Bartlett's Programming from the Ground Up, though it might be too simple for some. It's available online in a few places:

We are, this is where the demand for embryonic tissue comes from.

I think there will be a similar flood of ideas of business to run on ethereum that are ahead of the market.

Back in the dot com boom, there were people who understood the potential of the internet and pushed plans to take advantage. Many failed to hold together because there had not been a large enough migration of users to the new medium.

I agree with you about Ethereum's potential, but I think the first businesses to succeed will be low overhead outfits that can handle waiting out the slow transition.

I am thinking about what would have happened with Amazon if they had started AWS, Amazon Instant Video, and Amazon Prime Now back in '97. They would never have been able to pay developer salaries waiting for 2011 to come. The biggest upside on Ethereum will be a company that understands the medium, starts small, and presses the envelope.

Chip and pin is a highly regarded approach to securing CC #s. Maybe to secure web logins, everyone should pony up for one of those rsa [the company] SecureID dongles that generates identifiers

There is a policy on the backend of google maps to diversify the best routes they suggest to users. It's like A/B testing where they show different responses to users who make the same requests

This article is about Waze, but I can remember reading the same thing about google maps:

"Merely" is a word that makes me imagine what might have been if only.

Mr. Cameron glanced up from everybody's emails to say...

If Apple feels the phone is worth $600, and you're getting the phone new, you're only going to be able to pay $200 for it if AT&T pays the rest for you.

Based on the aether's name and your comment, I thought this discussion was about Ethereum.

An app built on Ethereum would also check off the 'decentralized' box for people who are angry at Ellen Pao.

This s the best information we have so far, but it's confusing. There have been a bunch of video IAMAs before

I was very surprised to read of John Vincent Atanasoff out at Iowa State this morning. He had a tremendous impact and I hadn't ever heard of him.

A US District Judge ruled in the 70s that the ENIAC was largely derivative of the computer Atanasoff had developed with his student Clifford Berry. Berry would continue on to work for Remington Rand and Burroughs on the BatComputer

For any 'Early coders' like my self who want to learn more about linkers and loaders based on this write up, Programming from the Ground Up by Jonathan Bartlett is a good book.

I'm American, and all but aren't riots/strikes etc examples of how France's political life enjoys a much higher per-capita rate of material participation than USAns are accustomed to seeing?

"Hey all" works too! I probably use "you all"/y'all/guys about evenly

Once you mix something else in and stop saying 'guys' practically every time, it's hard to go back.

I would imagine they're reinvesting it

I def echo the CBT and mindfulness exercises everybody is taking about in thread. I struggle with anxiety and depression and they are difficult challenges.

Did you see these suggested learning projects on Hacker News?

You're right, though. Sourcing clean water & good food for everyone would be more important achievements. Investing in people brings cascading rewards as the people helped are better able to do themselves good and do good for others.

This video is a good resource for python package pedagogy:

I don't. It is easier to control variables in a few laboratories than to control them in the entire world
