Because he will be happier with the 5.

Why is it necessary to replace Python for this project? And what are the objectives for the replacement? It's not clear what the author's problems and objectives are.

I would just name it Java.update() and leave it there. These people are trying too hard. They probably turn off the average geeks (who find it too geeky); and the hard-core geeks just tear them apart with all of the semantic and syntactic errors.

The obvious lesson here is: listen to dad. If you are starting out, have a mentor.

charging electric cars ain't free.

It's a bit naive to think Facebook doesn't care about people. Broadly speaking, there are introverts and there are extroverts. Introverts love Reddit, 4Chan, etc. for their anonymity. Extroverts love Facebook, Twitter, etc. And those in the middle belong to both.

Your "TL;DR" is well deserved.

invoice_sub_total is defined twice.

I think the comparison is a little misleading as the author admitted that the newer version is slimmer and tighter. Django is heavy. It'd be interesting if somehow the author could have used Bottle (Python) and compare it to Revel (Go).

Why? At this day and age, it's hard enough to watch one movie , with a cell phone in hand. Why would you want to watch two movies at the same time? This makes no sense.

With all due respect to Jimmy Carter, and he is a good man at heart, but he appears naive as to what is the true core of the USA. The USA has always been a country of military power. Without military power, the USA would not be what it is today. Even during peace time with the Soviet and others, the underlying military power of the US serves as an important factor to maintain that peace.

>That's beautiful I think. Yeah I know it hasn't exactly taken off and flask and friends surpassed it but I still like it.

That reason it still hasn't taken off is that Aaron is very like Zed; they are grasshoppers. They get bored easily from doing something.

I think you can run python modules installed in the system through this framework.

You don't have to be in direct contact with the Chinese government to provide them information. It is probably the case that spies do not have direct contact with the government they are spying for. He namedropped the Guardian/WashPo. Sure, I can believe that journalists from these papers aint' Chinese spies, but how about the Chinese papers that he talked. Oh, he conveniently did not mention them.

That is an evasive answer to the question: "The US Government alleged that you gave sensitive information to the Chinese."

Based on his answer, he probably did give sensitive information to the Chinese.

If he is afraid of being charged in the US, I would think he wouldn't have done this in the first place. Initially, it is said he did this because he cared about Americans. But by working with the Chinese, he is no longer a patriot in the eyes of many Americans. Overall, it appears like he was manipulated or at least fueled by the Chinese operatives.

Brilliant move, maybe, unless he was manipulated by the Chinese. It is very interesting that the allegation that the NSA has been hacking into Chinese systems came out at the time when the US and China are meeting and Obama is trying to admonish the Chinese on hacking.

It would be interesting to explore if Edward Snowden has any handler. And how exactly he chose Hong Kong and decided to reveal that the NSA has been hacking the Chinese.

See the Strong Law of Small Numbers, of which 42 is one.

I am curious why this is supposedly creepy. I think the main premise of a social network is that you reach out or get reached out to people who might know you or you might know. Now, you have the option of not reaching out to those people, and I think it is fair game that the social network assumes that other members might reach out to you, a member of the network.

If you do not like that aspect of the social network, do not join it.

be careful when you elevate "development" to "engineering". Any self-respecting man can put together a study desk for his son. That's development. But now if you want to build and sell desks to the public in such a way that we have to follow regulations and make a profit. Then that is engineering.

they all seem to be great schools, with great teachers. I'd choose a place where you'll live on campus and hangout with smart CS majors.

Typically, people print large posters at places like FedEx Kinko. Converting color posters to B&W ones, although sound trivial conceptually, sometimes poses a practical challenge. One is you don't exactly know how the color posters will look in black and white.

Good work!!!

Are there black and white poster templates? Color printing of posters is expensive and not necessary in many cases.

Open Access places like PLOS, BMC journals, still cost a sh*t load to publish (~$2000). Michael Eisen and the likes just found a new way to make moneys. If any of these dudes are in the business of science and not making money, they would charge no more than $500 per article.

This seems to be a nice benchmark. For the Python group, I would suggest two things: (1) include a lightweight framework like Bottle, and (2) Try pypy.

email is just a tool of communication. The keyword is moderation.

The problem with 80 chars/line and Python, in particular, is list/dict comprehension. Naturally, as they replace a whole loop, comprehensions pack much information into one line. Consequently, there are many times when a list/dict-comprehension line that are clean and meaningful but had to be broken into 2 lines.

And that isn't nice.

This is not a tip. The author simply reported his natural learning curve. Naturally, you learn a lot at the beginning and later on you don't learn as much. The author went through this process and thought that because he didn't learn much "other things" at the end, he was doing the right thing, and he had made mistakes early on by not focusing only "the thing" he was supposed to learn.

No, he did not make mistakes by digressing into learning things that are related but might not be directly addressing his problems at hand.

Learning is complicated, as things that you learn help you in ways that you might not be even aware of.

Make no mistake, I'm not against real innovations. For example, I've been using git and advocating for it, while many of my peers are still with older CVS systems.

The point is if you masquerade a solution to a non-problem with pretty things, it just wastes everyone's time and energy.

Like I said, it would be interesting if there is a study to find out if any of these pretty task management tools actually increases productivity.

It would be interesting if there is a study that comprehensively measures if these pretty tools actually improves productivity in comparison to using simple text editors.

My guess is they don't. My guess is people might find them fancy and pretty initially but eventually recognize that they don't actually improve efficiency or effectiveness.
