One of the old classics, I think it was Plauger's book on POSIX, dealt with this in the l10n chapter. One of the examples was "the only customer for this software is the US government, so it only needs English" leading to "then they discovered that the US goverment includes that of Puerto Rico".

On the contrary, I learned python starting with the docs, and I am very picky, if something is difficult to understand I am the first to complain, but I did find python docs to be okay, considering I started learning the language from the docs itself.

- Do your planned features bring extra value for the customer?
- Will they bring extra revenue for you?

- Does the platform take a cut from your ad-revenue?

- Are you able to find and coordinate a developer (android + iOS) by yourself?

- Are the revenues high enough to sustain regular development efforts on both platforms (pay your dev) + pay yourself a fair share for the effort?

That would be the questions I'd ask myself before re-building the apps. Just keep in mind re-building them is not a one-time effort but a regular expense... especially if you add more complexity with new features.

It also doesn't install Postgres itself, doesn't install a TCP/IP stack or any type of socket abstraction for communicating with a Postgres server, doesn't display an interactive SQL tutorial to ensure I'll know what to do once I get it running, doesn't install an operating system capable of running the psql client, and doesn't go out and buy me a computer or sign up a cloud hosting account with a provisioned database.

Would you fault it for those, too? Or would you find a point where you declare "not my problem", and then open yourself up to precisely this same criticism, just with the line drawn in a different place than where it currently is? I'm OK with the fact that the Python package installer installs Python packages. I'm OK with the fact that glancing at the documentation for psycopg immediately tells me up-front in its install instructions the things I'll need.

It also helpfully pre-empts the article here, suggesting a final debugging step for a non-functioning install:

Complain on your blog or on Twitter that psycopg2 is the worst package ever and about the quality time you have wasted figuring out the correct ARCHFLAGS. Especially useful from the Starbucks near you.

One of my favorite Latin poems (not just mine, this one is famous for a reason) begins like so:

Quis multa gracilis te puer in rosa
perfusus liquidis urget odoribus
grato, Pyrrha, sub antro?

Milton apparently translated this "almost word for word without Rhyme according to the Latin Measure, as near as the Language will permit" (http://www.dartmouth.edu/~milton/reading_room/fifth_ode/text...). Here is the relevant part of that translation:

What slender Youth bedew'd with liquid odours
Courts thee on Roses in some pleasant Cave,
Pyrrha[?]

And here, I'll rearrange Milton's words into the word order of the original poem:

What [many] slender thee youth on roses
bedew'd liquid courts odors
pleasant, Pyrrha, in cave?

(Milton's "with" is reflected in the Latin, but it is the ablative case ending of "liquidis odoribus" rather than a word in its own right. The "some" is not indicated in the Latin. "multa" is an adjective, "many", applying to "rosa"; Milton has left it out, although he has changed the oddly singular "rosa" to plural "roses".)

Anyway, this poem is pretty much the apex of artistic expression of "free word order". Latin does have some restrictions on word order, and one of them is visible in the poem: the object of a preposition must immediately follow that preposition (this is the origin of the belief that sentences can't end with a preposition -- in Latin, they can't). But mostly you can place the words where you'd like.

Exactly what I had in mind, I never got such problems at least in installing libraries, how can that be an issue since we have pip?

yes, some badly maintained libraries will have this, but that's the library author's issue and not a problem with Python's pip, on the contrary pip is working exactly fine if it complains.
I wouldn't call it 'traps'. I would call it 'read and understand documentation before writing code' like: what is 'is' operator, or how floats behave in EVERY programming language, or why you should sanitize EVERY user input.

It really depends of your website usage. I am maintaining a free database of chemical properties. Usually people are landing there from Google and looking at a single page[0] before leaving.

To have this single page experience as good as possible, I pack the CSS directly in the HTML. First I packed also the image of the molecule, but it was not good for SEO, because I have quite some visitors coming from search of the drawing of molecules. Google would be smart to index the inlined images, I would switch back to use them.

All these optimisation techniques are only good if the context is the right context. That is, you need to pay attention to the assumptions used to make these rules.

>But the critics were ignoring them?

I think "ignore" in that comment meant "dismissive". The critics were dismissive of Queen during its popular period probably because of the lighter weight songs such as "Another One Bites the Dust" and "Radio Ga Ga". A song like AOBTD sounds like something that a glam metal band could do. A song RGG sounds like something a lot of teeny boppers would sing. Yes, those songs are still loved today and will be always included on any Greatest Hits compilation.

However, it's the rule-breaking songs like "Bohemian Rhapsody" that is very "critic friendly" and with the death of Freddie Mercury, its stature as a magnum opus keeps growing. A song like that influences critics to re-evaluate Freddie's and Queen's artistic merit.
The ruffling seems to come from the term: universal grammar. Without a proper understanding the term can cause all sorts of misapprehensions. It sounds like a mandate; it makes people rebellious. Noam Chomsky specifically disavows any evolutionary theory. He just hand waves it for the establishment of the model. Many people who "refute" him simply attempt to provide this. All he intended to build was the simplest concievable system for language parsing. That's all he ever claims to have. When he responds to criticism it is always staunchly from this context. People just don't care to understand the propositions of the actual idea. I suspect they're intent on invalidating him to undermine his political views.
I found the academia to be way more vicious and politics than a company.

In academia, teachers/referees/directors were commonly there for 10-20 years, some will probably never have to live their positions and they have full unlimited authority for many things.

The worse that could happen in academia as a student is to have politics goes against your back. You will be blocked from graduating, you will loose X years of study unlikely to start over or graduate at another place, and be stuck with your debt and no diploma.

In a company, the worst that could happen is simply to be fired. You look for another job and keep your money, you keep your diploma, keep your experiences.

In fact, if you have a problem with your boss at work, you can always change job. If you have a problem with your PhD (or master's) teacher in academia, you can't leave without failing your studies and you're fucked.

You know you can say the same thing about Pablo Escobar, and Hitler, and many others.

I've been learning Python as it seems to be the preferred language in education at the moment in UK and I'm expecting my kids to be using it. I work in arts & craft but have a strong hobby background in computers.

I started with a Coursera course https://www.coursera.org/learn/python which was pretty easy (you can run the videos at 1.5 or 2x).

That course is based on a free gratis book by the lecturer (there a chapter on regex that covers re; with examples too).

I took a good few hours trying different IDEs and settled on PyCharm community edition, it has very easy doc lookup. (http://alicious.com/editors-ides-python-code/ is a brief summary of most of my IDE-for-python search.)

Currently I'm doing the Web Data course (using Beautiful Soup) and the only problem but is that by choice I'm using Python 3 when the course is written for 2. It covers regex pretty well.

About 3 years ago, I undertook a water fast that lasted about 17 days. It does take a lot of mental preparation. Nutrition wise, I ate only fruits for about a week before the fast. The first few days were very hard, but then I simply did not feel hunger at all. I intended to continue the fast for 30 days. But from about the 4th day onwards my mouth started having an awful odour and my tongue had a thick white coating that was the source. Into the third week, I simply couldn't bear that smell anymore and gave up. for getting back to regular food, I did the same thing and had only juices and fruits for about 3-4 days.

Now, I'm not an expert, but I read while preparing for the water fast that your body has nutrients it needs to survive for a few weeks. I didn't take any supplements during that time. Unfortunately, at that time i didn't have the means to measure and quantify what changed after the fast. I do remember being in a great mood for a few days after the fast. I don't know how much it benefited me, but it was an interesting exercise

Right. This paper ([0]) is actually mentioned in the DARPA BAA ([1]) as an example of a possible direction. A somewhat-similar scheme is [2]. Both seem to do some kind of sensitivity analysis, so as to show the user which parts of the input were most important for coming up with the decision: For instance, [2] "explains" an ML system (which answers questions about pictures), by telling you which pixels were most important for the decision. It does that by essentially hiding pixels and seeing how that influences the ML system's decisions.

So this produces not so much an explanation as "hints" as to why the system made the decision (still pretty useful). The BAA also mentions another possible direction ([3]), which is actually capable of making full-sentence explanations. For instance, it can explain the decisions of an image-to-wild-bird-name classifier with sentences like "This is a Laysan Albatross because this bird has a large wingspan, hooked yellow beak, and white belly”.

This sounds pretty impressive, but seems to depend on vocabulary provided by a user. As a result, in some cases the explanation provided may have nothing to do with how the classifier actually classified - see [4] for my interpretation of these issues and how they might perhaps be solved.

I believe the term is "communities of choice". In a small community there is only one community and everyone has to be in it, for good or ill.

I regularly fast for 20+ hours (calorie restriction, I do drink water because I am not an idiot) once or twice a week. You get very used to it.

While its not something I look forward to, it's purely psychological. A few hours after I miss 'breakfast' my tummy rumbles two or three times and then my body doesn't care anymore.

The max time I've fasted is forty hours and I have to say if you can get past the first fours hours, it's easy. I didn't really plan to fast that long, circumstances led to it. I actually found it hard to eat after it. I normally eat a very small 500-600 calorie meal after a fast but I couldn't finish it after the long fast.

I think we underestimate how adaptable our body is and how intermittent fasting is actually the norm for most mammals.

taking a quick look at the issue

the website says

PycURL is a Python interface to libcurl. and that would mean that we need libcurl installed. I am sure this is true with any other language as well, since this is a linker library, if that's a word.

also, surprisingly the website didn't mention that you need to install the libcurl4-openssl-dev :-)

so something is broken on this package.

Again, this is a package issue and not the issue of the language. We can find such examples in all languages. Doesn't mean Python's package system is broken or the language is broken.

To provide a counterexample, it takes me forever to figure out how to do something after reading Java/Cpp docs, but I instantly know how to do it in Python after reading the docs.

Typical workflow for Java:
This function takes in these object types as inputs... Then you have to wonder how to get those object types so you scour through 10 more pages of docs to figure that out. You end up creating a factory of a factory of a factory to make that input object only to find out that it has to be further preprocessed by sending it somewhere else.

Typical workflow for Python: read docs, try out an example in the interpreter by passing a basic object type to the function (such as string or dict), copy code from interpreter into text editor. You are done.

I really love Python docs. It takes me seconds to find what I want and figure out how to use it. I hope they don't change anything.
