There is something to be said about anyone who can bring the simplistic excel macros and data modeling that office-workers have been doing for ages to app format. Makes a lot of sense to me if people can easily put the data their team needs in their devices.
I'm actually interested in infrastructure around this. There is lots of documentation about how to use the various unit testing libraries out there, but what's the easiest way to run all of your unit tests? In Perl, the Makefile generated from Makefile.PL (or Build script generated from Build.PL) has a 'test' command that will run tests that look like t/*.t (the pattern is actually more permissive than this, but I'm not sure what the specs are beyond that being the most common case). It will automatically setup the library paths to include the code, etc, so that you don't have to manually fool around with @INC (Perl's sys.path).

Is there something similar in setup.py? If so, how does it find which files have tests to run?

edit: So there really isn't a standard Python way to 'run all unit tests?' (I'm not counting v2.7 because Python unit tests have been around a lot longer than that version has). I thought that Python was all about "there's only one way to do it." I find it a little odd that it took so long for anything like that to be included in the main distribution.

I have always felt that I have been "faking it" when it comes to my skills as a programmer. Though, through the help of Google I have developed a few substainal programs. Even so, I have never had the confidence that I would be able to program as my job and have kept it as a hobby.

Reading this article has made me realize though that maybe I do have the required skillset to make it, but there will always be this doubt due to the fact that Google has made it so easy to look up questions I have. Who knows...

While Israel does have strategic importance to the US, I think that's Israel's status in US foreign policy is disproportionate to that strategic need. I don't think it's controversial to say that many people - and politicians - feel a moral imperative to help Israel. I think it's inaccurate to characterize the relationship between the two countries without considering that perceived imperative.

That's a good point to consider - it must be hard for a waitress / waiter to swallow that their evening will take a pay cut because their boss has decided to get into social advertising.
I did have a waitress at a newer restaurant in the area that treated us exceptionally well. We probably had some of the best service ever with our Groupon. The food was great as well. The prices were very reasonable too. I will definitely go back with or without a Groupon.

That's very true, though if you only go to places you know and trust then Groupon isn't doing it's job for the restaurant! They're simply giving a discount to loyal customers.
Ex-Googler Calls Out Google Infrastructure as Obsolete
I think the biggest problem is that the staff and sometimes the owners don't understand what is the biggest possible gain - to get people in the door and then blow them away with great service and great products. I guess Groupon and the other giants probably don't tell the companies this enough. If I buy a coupon and get great service (pretty much the opposite of the story above) I would come back and recommend it to my friends. What companies end up doing, is paying through their noses to spread bad reputation about themselves.

If the restaurant would have treated the customers like all the other guests and maybe let them order the more expensive bottle of wine while explaining that it's actually not included (with a smile!) those two guys would have walked out happy and would probably have returned.

Groupon and the other coupon sites is a marketing expense, so treat it like one. You don't put up ads in the magazine with a discount and then scare away the customers when they show up! I don't defend the coupon sites, they seem to take a whole lot of the money for a small benefit. However, if you go into the deal, you might as well make the best of it. They will use the groupon no matter if you're nice or not.
Wasn't WinFS one of those features that was supposed to appear in Chicago or Cairo or one of those code names? I seem to recall thinking it was a rehash when the Longhorn WinFS rumors of WinFS appeared.
I never implied you had anything to do with Exxon. I'm not getting paid anything, by anybody, to talk about global warming. I have no conflicts of interest w.r.t. climate science.

Are you suggesting that climate science is more remunerative than the fossil fuel industry? I'd wager that the top two or three oil execs make more than every climate scientist in the whole world, combined.

> There's nothing significant against Exxon at that Web site, certainly nothing like your "organized disinformation campaign".

Huh? So, what does qualify as an organized disinformation campaign? I mean, did you actually look at the website? http://www.exxonsecrets.org/html/listorganizations.php

We know:

a) Exxon, and many other companies besides, makes less money if cap-and-trade is instituted or a carbon tax levied. These are multi-billion dollar industries that can afford to throw employees and tons of money at their problems.

b) Exxon has given lots of money to think-tanks that spread Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt about climate science. See the URL above.

c) FUD works. It's cheap and doesn't need to be true. Witness how effective creationists have been in getting the media and schools to present "both sides". It has delayed action on things like tobacco use, acid rain, and ozone depletion. e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merchants_of_Doubt

Scientists don't want catastrophic climate change -- lots study it because they're genuinely worried about the planet and their kids' future. Many feel that, if climate change is real, it's their ethical duty to make sure that people in power know this. And media organizations would rather cover celebrities and sex scandals. The fact that there is a media narrative about some story doesn't imply that the narrative is the cause of the story's coverage in the first place.

If you're so sure of yourself, though, perhaps you should engage people that know far more than me? Go propose edits to the Global warming article on Wikipedia -- they have extensive archives of debate that form the basis for the article's content. I would be surprised if much of what you have said hasn't already been directly and more thoroughly addressed.

All this said, though, perhaps the bigger question is: what would convince you that global warming is a big problem and that it's being caused by people?
Starting in 2.7, the unittest module actually has the ability to discover tests so you can just do:

python -m unittest discover

The docs are here:

I've actually been using both unittest and pytest for a while - I like pytest better but they are both nice tools.

You can wall off groups of people within Facebook, but the effort required to do this is beyond the motivation level that I'd expect most Facebook users (myself included) to have. Like privacy, making Facebook more tolerable to use is an opt-in thing, requiring proactive measures by the user.

Questions I have frequently pondered are...If one could as easily replicate and distribute physical products as we can digital products, what would that do to creativity and innovation?

Say you you could make infinite cheap copies of a car or a TV, would anyone make a better one?

With the elimination of scarcity what would we do with all our stuff and our free time? Would we sit around and turn into blobs or would we make things better just for the joy of it? Just for the recognition?

Isn't it apparent that IP laws/copyright in the digital age are just a way to impose artificial scarcity where it no longer exists naturally?
A few weeks ago a tapas restaurant in my city ran a Groupon for the second time.

The comments on the deal were nearly universally from people who had purchased the first coupon, and when they tried to redeem them staff at the restaurant treated them like lepers.

I've only bought and used one restaurant Groupon and honestly I didn't really had a problem. Then again I didn't show it until it was time to pay (are you supposed to show it when you order?). It was a $15 coupon and we used it to cover part of a $50 tab for dessert and drinks. I imagine that was probably not the norm, and they likely more often see people who spend only $14 and ask if they can have a dollar in change.
I see 5 problems:

1. An offer for "Pay $X for $Y of Z" have at least anecdotally led to people spending $X+(small number) where a lot of those who offer such deals are expecting more (the Gap was a notable example of this). Perhaps a better model is a capped percentage discount on the bill?

2. Evolving social etiquette of tipping. It may simply be that people are unaware that the right thing to do is probably to tip on the undiscounted price. Or it may simply be that those who are inclined to use Groupons are simply cheap. I expect it's a little of both;

3. No caps on offers is a big problem. It means businesses can't budget what are basically marketing expenses. For this to work you need to be able to track individual offers (so a person can't use the same offer twice). This has the added advantage of you being able to mine this data as you know who used an offer, when they did, what they spent, what other offers they've taken and so on;

4. Businesses seem to resent people using these coupons. This I don't get (other than the complaints of wait staff). It's a marketing expense. If a Coolhaus truck can sit a block away from my office in downtown Manhattan giving out free ice cream sandwiches for several days (raising awareness and creating a lot of good will) then you, as a business, owe yourself this: leave the customer happy. If they're unhappy you've just wasted your marketing spend on them; and

5. Having to ask for the offer upfront is BAD. It's awkward. It leads to at least the suspicion of getting smaller portions or otherwise getting the cheap version. It probably means you'll get worse service. The offer should simply be X% off a bill (max value $Y). Exclude alcohol entirely.

Honestly I expect Groupon to sink into the ocean. Businesses don't seem to like it. Consumers are having mixed experiences. The early investors have been paid off with large F/G rounds. Revenue per customer is decreasing. What Groupon is doing isn't exactly rocket science. I kinda see small investors being left with the bill for all this post-IPO.

It's a shame really because I see such things as a great way to promote a restaurant (which is actually hard).

I deleted facebook about six months ago because it was a huge stressor that added very little value to my life. I have too many subsets of friends, which makes it impossible to maintain one personality without offending someone. This just isn't how human's interact and I think it will eventually kill off facebook, unless they find some way to mitigate it.

For reference:
1) Highschool friends and family who are incredibly religious/right wing/etc
2) Friends from skiing, many of whom make a living on the mountain, who are about as vile as one can imagine
3) Friends from college or work, which consists mostly of PharmD's, MD's, and nurses.
4) Other random friends from startup stuff, partys, etc
Well, many of their sites got hacked recently, but that didn't seem to help in terms of hardening their systems from the security standpoint.

It's just coverage of someone complaining that Google's "stack" isn't buzzword compliant. Given that software really isn't fractally buggy (http://www.andyozment.com/papers/Ozment_and_Schechter-Milk_O...) why not favor infrastructure that's been through the wringer rather than skipping from one buzzword-compliant "stack" to another, as the veering flaw of trade rag punditry dictates?

I was under the impression that asserts are different from run-of-the-mill error checking and handling. In particular, they don't usually let you do anything if they fail, and simply cause the program to (informatively) terminate. But that said I don't have tons of experience with large projects.
I've been programming since '81 and commercially since '88.

Books, magazines (remember typing in example programs!) , undoubtedly re-invented many more wheels than I do now, colleagues, CIX (remember that BBS in the UK?), looking at open source code, I wrote a warren abstract machine (Prolog interpreter) back in the day and a regular expression engine and for both of those spent a lot of time in the university library (had long since left but still lived near it). Just because it wasn't a click away didn't mean that the information was not there.

But most of my code now still comes out of my head. The times I search for code are when I know that someone must have solved this problem already.
Keep in mind that Verizon was also originally a baby bell. It began as the Bell Atlantic corporation, and through a series of mergers in the 90s gained its place next to AT&T as one of the largest wireless and long distance carrier.

These two are orthogonal. Simply put,

1. ABI is a set of rules for interaction between multiple code units (functions, translation units, libraries) running sequentially and calling each other, e.g. how arguments are passed to the functions, how return values are passed back, how exceptions are thrown and handled.

2. Memory model is a set of rules for interaction between multiple (potentially) concurrently running threads, e.g. how a compiler can reorder load/store instructions to main memory, which operations imply memory barriers.

Here is an extract from an email I sent my cofounder recently, regarding getting external funding, and the martyrdom MUST WORK HARDER AND BOOTSTRAP complex. Seems relevant:

"I've been reading a lot about boot-strapped startups recently. My feeling is that we want investment early ... although not too early. I think once we have an active small user base (1-200 users, even), that's when we look to investment for building up the next steps of it.

This may not be the idea that makes us rich (although I sincerely think it will be), and I'd rather share the risk (and return) of that with an investor, rather than slaving away on it for three years to find out it doesn't work, just so we can squeeze out an extra percent equity..."
Yeah, it's already common to not tip anyway. Sometimes I tip, sometimes I don't (though when I do, I'm more generous than the standard 10%).

The problem is they tip on the Groupon price, not the full price, and are thus tipping something like 40% of what they should be.

I am not intimately familiar with the tipping culture (at least in the US), but here are some genuine questions: Is there an inherent reason you tip on the full price? Is it a tax? If tipping is to support staff wages does that mean waiters who serve fancier higher priced food items are entitled to larger wages solely for the fact that their table happened to order a costlier meal?
Unfortunately, the relationship was not as indirect.

Do you really not understand why the waitress's demeanor changed the moment you mentioned using a coupon? Seriously?

You know wait staff live on tips right? You know that people who use coupons are notoriously bad tippers right? There are very, very few people who feel they got a deal so leave a bigger tip. Most leave a tip based on what they paid, not on what the meal should have cost and people that use coupons tip at the bottom of the scale to begin with.

I'd like to see this taken one step further: a wiki that provides step-by-step directions for building anything from components. Links to the components and tools required would provide step-by-step directions for building them from more basic components, recursively until you're making things from absolute scratch by hand.

A wiki like this would let you jump into the process at any level, assembling something from pre-fabricated components, building it from absolute scratch, or anything in-between.
