Yep, everyone has limited time and resources. Another problem is that many libraries have dependencies, and they can't start porting until the dependencies have been ported (or a replacement is found). Finally, library developers only want to develop for languages they like using, and who likes a language with no good libraries?
What's even worse is when they have different validations in different places. I've had ticketmaster accept my name+tm@gmail.com email at sign up, only to never let me log in after that first time.
How can other people work out what you mean by a 'legit' email address?

Are hyphens allowed? What about dots, underscores or numbers? Do any of those count as "super-special characters"? Just like "+", they are all permitted in standards-compliant email addresses, but I have no way of knowing whether they are permitted in addresses that you consider "legit".
Does deletionism cover the way editors love to revert completely legitimate changes if they didn't come from other editors?

Intel Invests $26 Million In CloudMade, Kaltura and Others
The original author would deserve the credit, but upvoted for being relevant. :)
Is it reasonable for the author to expect at least one female applicant to any given job ad?

It's not clear to me whether (a) the author expects the ratio of applications to be 50-50, and is surprised that it's not; or (b) the author is aware that only a small fraction of developers are female and wants to change that situation.
Why Big Business isn't aggressively reinvesting in the economy
No. Wouldn't take the job.

"We're all happy now with our current life" - what more can you ask for? you have a happy family which in my book is first and foremost. You have no debt - bonus!

Recognition? - they have offered you the job, you are good enough, now you just need to believe it yourself.

Nice idea though
I work out of http://workbarboston.com in downtown Boston right across the street from South Station. $275 per month for a desk, more for a private office, less for 8:30 to 5:30 access only.
> In Japan that's the default. Wife takes care of the budget and gives a monthly "allowance" to the husband.

That sounds familiar. When I worked in Seoul at a Korean company, the smaller unscheduled bonuses were rewarded in cash. That way the husbands who so desired could go to hostess clubs and room salons on their own dime without the knowledge of their wives, who held the purse strings.

There are plenty of apparent paradoxes like this in Korean society. As a generalization, the men are deeply devoted to their wives and family and will kill themselves at work to afford extra tuition for their pre-school children. But many of them see no contradiction between that level of devotion and letting off steam with prostitutes once a month at hwaeshik.
I think a large part of the problem is that there aren't strong incentives to switch to Python 3, or at least that was the case when it first came out, and first impressions tend to matter. To me, as a user, it looked like "slower and none of my libraries will work."

A better way to sell python 3 should be to highlight python 2's pain points, and show why 3 is better. If they were to show a significant performance gain over Python 2.x, or some sort of killer new feature (ie, get rid of "self" everywhere) I suspect python 3 would get a lot more traction. As it is, Python 2 as a language works just fine for me, and most of what I want (a better interpreter) are being addressed by the PyPy project.
In my experience, the most common problem with user entered email addresses is that they've mistakenly used a comma where they should have used a period.

Guido should have stuck with his original plan - keep updating python 2.X till it's converged to python 3.

Deprecate print statements, warn if you don't import division from __future__, and so on. Maybe even leave a 2.X compatibility mode: `from __past__ import print_statement`.

I guess unicode is a sticky point though. I really don't know what can be done about except rant about how hard unicode is.
Mining the Tar Sands of data
I like this idea, I'll see what I can do :)
I cannot think of any other market with that much voodoo and obscure "magic" as high end audio equipment or (especially) guitar tube amplifiers.

And they make sure to keep their selling arguments to "musicality", "passion" and "emotions" because that is something you can easily sell, it gives you a very unique selling position and is virtually impossible for the customer to measure and compare.
>I've seen deletionism creep into articles that were very well written, very well cited and overall a great source of information.

These characteristics are not the measure used for inclusion. Which is absolutely right IMO - one could create a well written article, well cited and be the best source on what hair products some actor uses but it wouldn't make that information more notable.

I think that maintaining as high a quality as possible is important for Wikipedia. Like someone said, making Wikipedia a mirror of the web is not beneficial.

Someone here could probably do all right by making a mirror of all pages being deleted though¹.

I agree. My take on Mobility is that they needed a higher level of abstraction to make QML attractive to Javascript/Cocoa Touch/Android XML developers.
Actually no, I like the design. It's very Facebook-ish and fits perfectly. The red is nice, given Valentine's day and all, heh.

Can't really comment, it seems to require I login just to even browse the site.

I'm always a little bit put-off in having to divulge any info just to get a basic feel of a "casual" site like this. Ideally I'd be able to at least browse some other pics or something.
Perhaps, but I've experienced this specifically for headphones. Companies that will ship other goods refuse to ship headphones. Maybe it applies to other electronics, but I've had no problem with getting electronics across the border in the past.
I'm not really sure we know what kind of deal they got; a lot depends on how those "billions of dollars" of payments are structured.

For instance, the maps licensing deal: does this mean that Nokia will be getting royalties (for the mapping software) on sales of other manufacturers' handsets? If so, they haven't got an exclusive, but they do have a favored position.

EDIT: if it's just advertising services, on the other hand, which is all Elop explicitly mentioned, then this does look pretty raw.
My wife and I each have our own accounts, and we both contribute to a joint pool as well.

The joint pool covers kid-related expenses, housing, food, utilities, one vacation per year, and retirement savings. Our own pools cover our respective cars, dining/entertainment budgets, jewelry, clothes, extra savings, extra vacation, whatever.

It works out really nicely because we don't have to negotiate with each other about anything other than the essentials.
How is this an easter egg? Been using it for years.
No, my understanding was that a small, but vocal, special interest group was upset for nominating their favorite programming language. The vast majority of angry people seemed unable to come up with a rational reason for saving the article. The vast majority of calm people seemed to agree with the deletions, and agreed with me for labeling the others as a small-but-vocal-minority. If you felt you were doing something right and no one who thought you were wrong had a convincing case (as convincing as "nazi dickwad deletionist we're gonna e-mail your professor" is), wouldn't you try to push through the intimidation? It wasn't until the wider reddit and HN communities caught on that I understood that it wasn't an annoyed minority, yet I would have caught on earlier if someone had actually tried to reason with me (and maybe brought up the citation argument).

I regret that I am unable to reply to each comment individually, HN's software stops me from making too many posts.

The Elephants in the Agile Room
I think I have the SR80i and I love them! Only thing I can't stand is the thick, clumsy cables which tend to always seem to have some tension because the two headphones can turn freely. Still, I would not replace them for any other brand.
Good to see the Economist covering 3D printing - it's still amazing to me how much most people, even close to manufacturing, aren't familiar with it at all.

FWIW though - the 90% they're referring to is the delta between machining solid parts and printing them. It should be added that this is a rare use-case for 3D printing.

Usually it competes more directly with injection molding technologies that often have better material usage because there is no need for support material - which goes to waste holding up the hollow areas for the types of material-saving lattice structures they're talking about.

Sometimes you can get great savings, but 3D printing isn't a production materials panacea. Let's not even get into how to recycle composite materials (very energy intensive) and photopolymers (you can't).
This kind of stupid crap is why I and many people no longer contribute to wikipedia.
Interesting - I do. Not all of them, but it's more than I can say for other devices I've owned. And I'm pretty sure there will be some 3rd party vendors that will provide support for my model for a while to come, given the size of the installed base of the same model. I don't expect it forever, but I do expect it (and seem to get it).
Never worked with them but I believe SproutBox out of Bloomington, IN does just this.
Yes, an important point is that everyone learns differently. Aimless computation is the furthest thing from my mind, and I agree that most people wouldn't notice these patterns if left to their own devices. Computation as an accessory to constructivist learning guided by teachers is what I'm suggesting must be part of a solution.

I'm skeptical of curriculum reform that seeks to excise an important source of learning for a sizeable subset of students.

This is hilarious. The Nokia CEO inked a contract with his ex-employer MS that benefits MS hugely while still owning shares of MS. Um... what?!

I totally would have bought a Nokia android. WTF is a 'Samsung' anyway? Opportunity missed, and now I would happily buy a samsung again.
Release early, release often. Fund yourself and plan accordingly, if others want to fund you good, but don't count on them. Fail quick, get up in one piece and try again. Don't try to conquer the world at first, a thousand customers paying $10 a month will suffice for your next venture, and that one alone is the hardest part of all.

There actually was an official "Lemmings 3D" in which you could even switch to the first person view of individual lemmings.

Unfortunately apart from the novelty factor the game-play was pretty bad, nowhere near the 2d lemmings.

One problem with this logic: they're expected to ship in late 2011 at the earliest. By that time, other manufacturers will have had WP7 phones out for a year, which is a pretty long time in this space. They're late entrants to a crowded field either way.
The real issue is that for both developers and library maintainers, moving to Python3 entails a lot of aggravation for a comparatively small net benefit.
It's owned by Sony so that very unlikely I'm afraid
I agree. Annoyed me also. There's nothing regexp about it at all. And then TFA says that this is 'Perl syntax'.

Sure, Perl uses that syntax but it was inherited from sed which got it from ed.

Stop deleting knowledge, period. It's not your personal job to police what the world is allowed to know.

I was unbelievably pissed off when I searched for "Alice ML" and found a hit on wikipedia via google and come to see the page deleted.
Nokia would ideally like to have an iOS of its own, either proprietary to Nokia phones or offered to other manufacturers but controlled (to whatever extent) by Nokia. Failing that, it would at least like to be "suited" again the next time it chooses a smartphone OS in a few years. Throwing its weight behind Android would make Android the de-facto standard, and that would probably close off those possibilities. (Though Android can likely make it to de-facto standard status without Nokia's help.)
But if you look at the whole of Amazon, not just Kindle, the company is all over the place. It sells an e-book reader! It sells books! It sells other consumer products! It provides a marketplace where other people can sell products, even books! It sells cloud-computing services!

If Amazon had a few bad quarters, I could imagine business pundits looking over this list, clicking their tongues, and saying that Amazon’s “lack of focus” was its downfall.

I think this happens with most classes. I had to take an introductory MS Office class as part of my degree. I aced every test without effort, and was the go-to guy for help when even the teacher was stumped.

It wasn't that I was some kind of genius, it was that I had been working with various interfaces and software from the moment I could reach a keyboard.

Sounds like you are hesitant to make a public photo gallery. I'd recommend building one though. From my experience with cornify.com, having a public gallery really activates people - way better social proof than just the Facebook/Twitter share numbers.

When somebody saves an image, I'd ask "Can we show this to other people?"
Thats what I will most probably do.

I do think this is fraudulent, and I think the comparison falls down: A customer buying the 20$ dropbox account knows exactly what he is spending his extra 10$ to get, and it is worth it to him to do so. Even if objectively, 10$ may seem like excessive premium.

Sennheiser in this case is being fraudulent by claiming that there is an actual difference between the two models while in reality they are exactly identical apart from a tiny piece of foam clearly put there only to defraud customers that want better sound and are prepared to pay for it.

To quote the amazon page for the 595's:

"The HD 595 is the top-of-the-line headphone of the audiophile 500 series range, boasting a new level of comfort and sound quality. Features include our E.A.R. technology and a highly constant,compressed cellulose fleece to reduce total harmonic distortion. Velour ear pads and high-quality leatherette headband both provide outstanding comfort."

compared to the 555's:

"A comfortable, high-quality headphone system"

Don't you see how this is fraud at work? Nowhere in the description of the difference between these models is the piece of foam mentioned or hinted at. To the contrary, the description of the 595's indicates that they include ADDED technology to improve sound quality and comfort. Which is full-on lie.

No, pricing is not connected to incurred cost. That's not the issue.
Nicely twisted.

Very cool! I love projects like this, and I sent one to my girlfriend as well. I used it from my iPhone and found that image selection is snappy but it's a little slow when typing text... not complaining but from a technical standpoint I just thought it would have been the other way around.

Great job! :)

Honestly, it was a brilliant move by both Microsoft and Nokia. Microsoft dropped to 3% of the global market share for smartphones and Nokia's 2/3 market share dominance was nearly cut in half http://blog.cedowin.com/2011/01/mobile-future-taking-market-.... Additionally, Android overtook the #1 sales spot in Q4 globally, (depending on who you get your numbers from).

Nokia could have gone with Android, but why? There are already Android phones. Why be another number? The key to success is not to do what everyone else is doing but to do something different and find your niche. Microsoft touts itself as the "business" solution. This partnership of high quality hardware and business-minded software will set Nokia/Microsoft apart.

As far as recycling goes, it's very exciting that you can recycle plastic bottles into plastic granules/filament and use them for printing.

I think we are not that far away from a self contained fabricator that turns garbage into everyday plastic parts you need.

Excuse me, but the thing that proved him to be an idiot in my eyes is not his blind adherence to the rules (which can be discussed), but that, even after all this discussion he is soo sure of himself, i.e. "I think that ALL articles I nominated for deletion fail to meet Wikipedia's general notability guideline."

While we're on the topic of emails, does anyone have any anecdotes or data on how often users will click activation links if I log them in after registration?

I always hated having to log in to my email after signing up, so I just create an account and login users without any upfront verification.

My email to the user says I will disable accounts that are not activated in 4 days, but its just a bluff :)
Funny. I cut and paste that text from Google's cache when I posted the parent post. I note that the article has been recreated and deleted twice since the original deletion.
It will be interesting to see how Guido et al will judge the py3k transition-strategy in hindsight and whether they will repeat it or move back to a more traditional, incremental development model.
I am sure Guido realized one thing. Where would he get the resources to keep updating and do P3. I think he chose the right path. 5 year plan (half way there) to move everything to P3. That gives them a good time-frame to get things in P3 solid and stable (however you want to apply those terms).

Do you worry that you've died and a new, unrelated consciousness born every time a cosmic ray pops a single electron in your brain up to a higher orbit? It seems obvious from the amount of mechanical or chemical intervention that's required to create a detectable change in consciousness that the human substrate for consciousness only matters at a far more macroscopic level than the quantum.

Also, I think that the amount of worry you experience over whether a computational substrate running software designed without consciousness in mind can suffer is a very, very, very poor proxy for the question of whether machine sentience is possible. Think about it. If you did have a magical hypercomputer, and a program running on it which ran a perfect quantum simulation of a human baby in unbearable pain, would you remain completely blasé?

Yes, I'm running a 3rd party version of the OS, but the Samsung version was slow, buggy and two versions of Android behind.
