No I did read your post. Actually I read all of them. My point is he didn't "break" composition. In isn't like you import this guy's library and suddenly function composition no longer works. Breaking isn't the right word. It is agressive and wrong on a semantic level.

You could say "You functional list does not properly support composition. Here are some problems." You posts were needlessly combative. I only spoke out because I have seen this kind of thing cropping up recently with respect to Python functional libraries.

"people are encouraged to write python other people understand."

As I said, the semantics of his library are reasonably clear on inspection doubly so if you read the docs.

EDIT:

I just re-read some of your other posts on this thread. You really do keep banging on "He made his own 'dialect.'" To clarify, no he didn't. Making a library isn't a dialect. A dialect needs to be a significant enough departure that you would actually need a different parser/interpreter. That is a "dialect." If you would like I can point you actual Python dialects. This is a library. Deal with it.

Most carriers have introduced a data-only plan, technically specifically to make iPad 3Gs work, that isn't nearly as gouging as the data plans for phones. You can get it set up for an arbitrary SIM card, then put that card into a phone: http://www.wifitalk.ca/iphone/ipad-3g-sim-gives-iphone-data-...

Consider describing the service more on the front page in terms of what it does and how it works. Currently, without logging in, I have no idea. Does everyone pitch in to cook pot luck style? Do you deliver these meals to different places for a fee? Do people just show up and buy dishes? Getting me to sign up is much easier if you resolve this uncertainty.
I really, really like the idea, but I hate Facebook and I won't have an account with them. Otherwise I'd definitely host a meal.
This may be useful for our daily scrum meetings to document tasks.
Currently only the server-side of Vaadin has been translated and Muntjac relies on the GWT compiled Java from Vaadin for the client code. The plan is to translate the rest and use Pyjamas to produce the JS. That way new components could be defined in Python.

I don't really get the point of articles like these. I don't think anybody is seriously arguing that the neutrinos were FTL. The real question is why the measurements showed that they were.

Declaring that the neutrinos weren't superluminal Because Of Science misses the point.

I think the Pull Request for article submission is a really awesome idea. Sounds like a neat idea, you should start it up.
Don't you think it is contradictory to support both views that racism and sexism "help us make better decisions" AND that there is an "expressed desire of changing" that? Why would you want to change something if you think it helps you make better decisions?

So my conclusion is that the parent comment is only looking for excuses for being racist, namely that it allegedly helps and that people are generally racist. It doesn't and we don't have to be.
That is indeed Canada. Try and get DSL or cable internet here too. It's terrible. Bad service, bad price.
This looks a lot like a successful project status approach I've used on a previous project: everyone kept their status on a wiki, with a very short list of currently active work and a slightly longer list of pending work. Effectively, everyone shared their TODO list, and from the combined list you could tell at a glance what everyone worked on without having to ask or have status meetings. (Thus, meetings only existed to deal with actual blocking problems, and remained short.) Management within the team learned to look at that TODO list rather than asking for status reports; when management outside that team wanted a report on recent accomplishments, they got a rolled-up copy of completed TODO items with a few highlights called out at at the top.

I like the idea of having a tool built around the same approach, assuming I've understood it correctly.

A few bits of feedback on your launch page: While I found phrases like "mind-meldification" amusing, the first instance of such a phrase occurred when you said "same-pagifying", and that one in particular didn't so much strike me as amusing as pointy-haired-bossish; I almost closed the page right then. Also, do you really want to use the politically charged phrase "don't ask don't tell" in marketing copy? And finally, while I liked the repeated links to the register page, the one with the text "Try using it right now!" somehow made me expect an instant demo page without having to sign up; this seems like the kind of interface where 30-60 seconds playing with it will tell me if I want to use it.

(One other thing: you say at the bottom "absolutely free for teams of 2", but honestly this looks like it might make a perfect TODO list application for a team of 1; have you considered that use case?)
Have a play with CofffeeScript - perhaps it'll give you enough syntactic sugar that client-side frameworks become unnecessary.

For me, as non native English speaker is more confusing.

In Portuguese we say grafos(graphs) and gráficos, when we refer to pics and images. And when I read something in English, I wonder if its graphs referring to maths or to pics.
You missed the essence of his quote. He said don't just emphasize on the ratio, "Americans measure profitability by a ratio." The basis (tons of money) that the ratio is measuring is more important.

Your hairdresser could have a fantastic ROI of 50%, but 50% of $1000/year is miniscule when compared to 10% ROI of a company making $100M/year revenue. If you pursue just the ROI in spite of everything else, your great ROI economy is only $1000, while the other lower ROI economy is $100M.

It's the same question of a small percentage of a big pie vs a big percentage of a small pie. Apparently they like a big pie better despite having a lower ROI. May be it has to do with more people are benefited with a big pie.
It's true that greatness is rare, but I think that's partially a combination of rarity of skill and the fact that there are few people willing to put in the number of hours required to achieve greatness. (Yes, I definitely believe in the 10K hours theory).

Take John Coltrane as an example. I think it's fair to say that most people consider him a genius and an extremely talented saxophone player. But he was definitely NOT one of these child prodigies like Mozart. He worked hard and put in many many hours of training. So many, in fact, that some other musicians (notably Miles Davis) saw him as a bit boring since "all he ever wanted to do was practice".

That could also be attributed to the fact that he kicked a bad heroin addiction and so didn't see much point in doing anything other than what he loved, playing music.

So, yes, you do need high ability to achieve greatness, but high ability/skill is something that can be acquired and is not necessarily inborn.
I recall someone from Apple (I want to say David Hyatt) actually explained why they went the way they did. They looked at assimilating Gecko, but it was just too large to mold into the product they wanted without essentially throwing out most of the existing product. But still, starting from scratch would have ballooned the budget since a Web browser is a nontrivial undertaking†. KHTML was a happy medium — it was a solid, functional base, but it wasn't yet overwhelming for the Safari team.

† Think about it. HTML rendering engines are probably the most-used piece of software around these days, and yet in the almost 20 years since the Web came about, there have only been about 10 notable rendering engines written for it, of which only three have had real commercial viability (Gecko, Trident and WebKit).

It doesn't just miss the point, it misses the point of Science. The day you dispute a measurement on the grounds of Science is the day you have forgotten how Science works. If Science disagrees with measurements, Science is wrong or the measurement was taken wrong. Fix one, don't tell me that the measurement is wrong because Science is right.

Aka you can't disprove reality with Science.

You're pretty much dead on.

We built the tool based on a completely stripped down paper process we created. We made a set of Post-It notes that we put on a shared space. Then we would put what we were actually working on the door to our office. It worked really nicely, except you had to physically be in the office and it required you to get up from your desk a lot. &bang was literally taking that approach and making it a web app.

Thanks for the feedback on the launch page. All valid points. We plan on making it easier to try out as well.

Regarding your last point, we are going to improve the one-user experience, too.
BC insurance, from my experience, isn't really a problem. Most quotes I've received in markets where there is a free(r) market for insurance often are considerably higher than what BC drivers pay through ICBC, especially if the driver is under 25.

Case in point, I renewed my auto insurance today with ICBC and paid $1470 for 12 months of insurance for a 2007 Mazda 3. The policy includes $2,000,000 liability, collision and comprehensive coverage with $300 deductibles, plus rental car coverage. In the last five years I was rear-ended at a stop light and my car was vandalized once. The equivalent quote from Geico was $2385 which only included $500,000 of liability insurance.

Seriously? I have yet to meet a single person who has gone over 6GB on a mobile plan (even with tethering). In fact Rogers put out a statistic that something like only 3 people went over 6GB in the first month they offerred it.

As I said, I literally have streamed entire leafs (NHL) games and had plenty of space left to do normal things. If I'm not mistaken, Youtube data rate is 300kbps, which is 132 MB/hour. So 6GB would give you theoretically 46.5 hours of youtube videos. You're trying to tell me that that isn't "basically unlimited"? Seriously?

Hell, basic wired internet in Canada starts with a 25GB cap. 6GB is more then 99% of people need for mobile.
I'm constantly telling a good friend of mine who is a co-founder of a start-up NOT to learn to code. He's absolutely brilliant in his field (a technical but non-CS field) and while he wishes he could code up his ideas I've directed him to developing flowcharts and spending time writing - his ability to think up new ways of doing things within his field is unparalleled. Personally I think he's a genius at what he does and I see that when he tried to code he stops focusing on what he does best. Even though he understand enough core computing concepts to design applications I think he's jealous of my ability to mock up a demo app, while maybe I'm just clever enough to not go down the rabbit hole of trying to learn everything about everything..

The fact this is a Reuters article notwithstanding, has anyone considered the neutrinos move at the speed of light, and photons don't due to gravity's effect on spacetime (ie, real speed of light vs relativity)?
I can't seem to reply directly to adambrault. Just to expand on why I asked about MS Paint adventures. The aesthetic is similar -- although of course &! is about productivity instead of kids playing a most dangerous game, the emphasis on awesomeness, the suspense, etc. are shared.
The OPERA experiment wasn't a race between neutrinos and photons going from one place to the other - the neutrinos travelled the measured distance between the two detection points faster than c.
I saw an interesting documentary the other day about the Spitzer case, "Clinet 9", it's on Netflix. From the documentary it seems like the only reason Spitzer was caught was because several wealthy individuals had it out for him since he was rocking the boat so to speak by taking on all these powerful interests. In the grand scheme of things it's really a tragedy because he unlike anyone else was able and willing to take on corrupt financial institutions.

The study doesn't cover one of the possible reasons for this.

For example, take George Zweig who discovered quarks before Murray Gell-Mann did, however Gell-Mann got the credit because Zweig was an undergraduate and Gell-Mann was a well known name in the physics community.

Gell-Mann ended up getting the Nobel in 1969, and Zweig ended up leaving physics and going over to the neurobiology camp and made significant contributions to wavelets.

>The company does have revenue, such as this early deal with Coca Cola for a branded site, but has stood firm in keeping the “nickel and dime” consumer fees out of the product. [...]

>Later this year Posterous will launch a pro version of the service for bigger brands, and allow things like Javascript and site monetization for a fee, they say.

http://www.techcrunch.com/2010/01/18/posterous-revenue-coca-...

And from http://kahlil.posterous.com/how-posterous-makes-money in January 2010

>So I asked Posterous co-founder Sachin Agarwal how Posterous will actually make money. His answer was simple. Charge for business and commercial use of Posterous. What about consumers? Agarwal says that Posterous will remain free for consumers, but will just charge for businesses, which reminds me a lot of how people imagine Twitter making money.

Their business model could easily have changed from this by now though.

You are coming from the stance that content, i.e. words, is separate from the design around it. I'm saying this is bullshit and that words/content are the most important parts of the design.

Using a fake language and text that you don't read takes away from that. Even using my classicipsum.com generator kind of takes away from that; but it takes away from it on a smaller level. I try to use the actual content and copy for a site, but that's not always possible (like I said, for example, when I'm making a WordPress theme). Hence classicipsum.com

I never implied it was a race. c is effected by relativity, and the speed of a photon is generally described as c.

My question is, have neutrinos merely ran past relativity but not actually broke anything, merely bent it?
Yes, this is an example of the Matthew Effect:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_effect_%28sociology%29
His point as I gather is, what if c was incorrectly calculated, and photons move at 99.9999% of c while neutrinos move at c. This would of course mean "The Speed of Light" is a misnomer, but that could be adapted.

That would certainly be an interesting outcome that does not break the existing understanding we have of c.

I think the main crux of the article is ultimately dependent on the one thing he mentions at the very end:

It goes (almost) without saying that the only reason I can
afford to be non-technical is because I’m surrounded by a
bunch of geniuses.

His points are valid, but if you're a single non-technical founder, it can often be hard to even know whom to surround yourself with if you lack the ability to evaluate them in the first place. This point is not made very apparent in the article.
How To Grow Your Internet Marketing Business
The article makes a great point, it's not necessary to be technical to be successful in technology management. Also you should be proud of your strengths and the contributions they enable you to make rather than focus on power psychology.

I would also agree with the author that a technical background helps.

It seems to me that without a technical background it's possible to make an incorrect appraisal about problems with tecnical projects.

For example, the product is incorrect or late. Why?

As a manager you need to determine a belief on why things are problematic and how they can be improved.

There are a lot of possible problems. If a non-technical person gets this incorrect it can have very negative consequences. It's a minefield that is typically, though not always, better traversed by people with technical skills.

The typical Canadian will irrationally defend any policy that differs from the equivalent policy in America, because the typical Canadian's sense of national identity is 10% hockey and 90% 'we're different from the Americans'.

We're never going to deregulate and allow a little free-market competition to lower prices as long as these proposals can be criticized as 'Americanization' or 'the American way'. It's not complacency that ties Canadians to our goofy oligopolies, it's our own misguided nationalism.

Facebook pages previous changes to PAGES - How to still get more exposure
Can anyone explain to me how does relaying in a proxy like this work?

Since you're not tampering with the iPhone's hosts file, and use, let's say, your home PC for handling the guzzoni.apple.com dns + CA for level certs.. I'm wondering how you send the request to the actual guzzoni.apple.com? I mean, if you do $ curl -s https://guzzoni.apple.com on the home PC, it would respond with the localhost server as you've rerouted it to 127.0.0.1 in the home PC's hosts file - or am I missing something here?

Should I use two PC's, one for handling the iPhone interaction, and one as "backbone" which can reach the real guzzoni.apple.com?

Or am I suppose to run a dns service which responds <internal ip of home PC> for SOME devices, but real dns for others (e.g. home PC)?
