Thanks for all the good points. To be honest, I'm not sure what you're trying to say. I've been coding in python for years and Moka was built from my annoyance using functional paradigms with the stdlib.

As you clearly showed, Python doesn't have an uniform syntax to deal with this paradigm. I.e. there are lots of different constructs and, as you said, common idioms or patterns. Have you already argued with a Java programmer saying that these 'Design Pattern' are just a limitation of the language.. whereas in Python you'd probably just use a simple Dict (or whatever)? I'm sure you did. I feel the same with the idioms and patterns.

See, in Clojure (And Arc, and even Ruby), there is an uniform syntax.. whereas in Python we've got itertools, list comprehension, builtins map/filter, random builtins functino such as sorted().

I have to agree with you that Moka is not Pythonic in the There's only one way to solve a problem as we add a new way. However, Moka was created because there was so much inconsistent alternatives..

However, Moka is Pythonic in how it behaves. God knows I could have use all nifty hacks to make it behaves magically.. but I chose to take the explicit route by overriding list/dict. I could have used string interpolation for function (See http://osteele.com/sources/javascript/functional/); but instead went the Pythonic way with standard lambda functions. Maybe you are right about the operator keywords shortcut (i.e. using List().keep(operator.eg) instead of List().keep(eg=); However, I still feel it was a way to make it even easier to integrate with existing tools from the stdlib.

Lastly, you said:

zen: flat is better than nested
> Dict(a=1, b=2).update(c=3).rem(lambda x, y: x=='a')

^^^^^^^^^^
This is not nested, this is chained.

This, however, is nested:
# Taken directly from the itertools stdlib page.
next(islice(iterable, n, None, default)

# Here, this is not nested.. this is chained:
def logged_user(self):
return (self.users
.keep(User.is_logged)
.keep(lambda u: u.is_active)
.map(lambda x: User.objects.get(id=x)))
One more suggestion: change the Twitter and Facebook posts to "I am ___, I do ___" and a link. It is mysterious and doesn't look spammy.
This is already happening, though unintentionally and in the other direction. A recent study found a correlation between time spent playing computer and console games and good English grades among Finnish high school kids. The effect is surprisingly large: the grades of students who play more than 15 hours a week are on average 1.5 points higher on a six-point scale than those of students who don't play at all.

On an anecdotal level, I can attest that some of the first English words my brothers learned were "load" and "save", for obvious reasons.

I'm not sure why you created a fake account to answer this but thanks again for your time. You're right that it was built for my own taste using simultaneously other languages (clojure, arc and js for instance). At the end of the day, what's important is that it increases the quality of the code and this is my goal with Moka. This is still in an alpha stage, but I'll definitely tweak it based on good feedback (Like yours) Feel free to drop me a line: phzbox at gmail if you want to continue this discussion.

It is easy to teach and learn the practicalities of a profession. But it is the difficulty to enter, the amount of abstract thinking and study required plus the prestige that gets you higher salaries in the end. It is like saying, look I have made it so far so I am pretty able to do anything if you train me more. If Universities were employee factories then salaries would be lower, service prices would be lower (most people think this is a good thing) and requirements from students would be practically non-existent.

Take another example. A 30 year old nurse gets far more practical training than an M.D. but after she masters the practicalities, it is simply an endless repetition. MDs on the other hand are trained to solve problems and in just 4-5 years of practical training are able to do that in a higher degree.

Apprenticeship has been established in the service provider's section from the beginning of time, it is hard to beat with some extra classes in the University

BREAKING NEWS: Hawking - Space exploration urgent for human survival
How Tinnitus is Related to Stress
As a whole civilization is getting better. We are becoming less violent, less aggressive and more educated then ever.

As the author of freakanomics says "Its amazing statistically how many people 'Do the right thing.'".

Its also discouraging how Hawking does not back any of this with charts or numbers or something that would be convincing. I have to wonder if Hawking's agenda and outlook are from his own "selfish desires".

Certainly there are more achievable options then the immense challenges of space. Like underground infrastructure or mass gene therapy that allows immense intelligence for all (think Limitless for all).

Also have you noticed that most "dynasties" do not go out like a light switch. Its a very slow decline. Examples: Romans, Ottoman Empire, the Dinosaurs various music artists and athletic teams.

I am betting that humanity will end in a slow boring decline.

This approach is unfortunately mistaken in my experience. Readers are humans, and they will judge books by their covers. The default WordPress theme is the worst you can do to attract new readers/subscribers, all things being equal.

Here is what I wrote about this in my book:

"The default WordPress look is clean and minimalist. Depending on your aesthetic preferences, you may like that look a lot. But it would be a mistake to settle for this default theme, for three reasons:

1. Most new blogs use the default theme. Sticking with it won’t help your blog stand out from the crowd.

2. Visitors value eye candy. Beautiful design will greatly help your blog succeed.

3. The default theme has very limited features and customization options.

Spend some time evaluating other themes, until you find one that fits your style and the type of blog you intend to run. If you’re running a team blog that will be updated on a daily basis, for example, a magazine or even newspaper style theme may be a good idea."
Remembering Steve Jobs : Geek with an attitude
The problem is the fact that somebody could enter a company, increase the short term benefits, but destroy the company long term...

is not necessarily a problem. There are many companies that should do this, but instead try to continue existing (mainly so the CEO/etc can keep their job).

The goal of most companies is to increase shareholder value. Shareholders, like most people, get more value out of money right now than money in the future. If a company has good short term profits, but their future prospects are not great, shareholder value can be increased by making shareholders a lot of money now and going out of business.

The shareholders would then be free to invest the money in other companies with better prospects.

In my opinion, Microsoft is a good example of a company that should do this. It's highly unlikely that shareholders would have chosen to invest in Bing were Bing a separate company. Rather, they would probably have preferred to invest the money in Google, Facebook and other such companies, or perhaps even diversified out of technology. But due to a misplaced desire of corporate executives for Microsoft to continue existing, shareholder value was not maximized.

(Admittedly, taxes complicate this picture, and encourage investment within a company rather than outside a company. But that's somewhat tangential to the main point.)

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT: THE BATTLE WITHIN
Side by side assumes that you would write the Clojure solution this way.

But that's not how I (nor, I imagine, any experienced Lisper) would do it. Lisp programmers are not afraid to write compilers in Lisp targeting Lisp. This is not something a Python programmer would consider doing.

I would implement Dan Friedman et al's Scheme constraint solver (cKanren) in Clojure (which can be done in a few hours) so I could solve all sorts of problems, not just Sudoku, in 80 lines of code instead of 200 with very good performance.
I guess that's one way to look at it, but your analogy is flawed. I'm mostly unaffected by anyone else having their account hacked, whether or not they've implemented two-factor authentication.

But I really believe they just want my phone number. Why do they tell me the security is "low"? Why not "medium"? What if I don't have a cell phone? Without giving them a number, I guess I live on a low security site? It's FUD, just like those popups telling me my security settings on my PC are "low", or that I have a "virus".
My designer friends are salivating over this. Does the future mean a home-fabricator as a household item, where we can create tools as well as edible items? I can imagine it would cut down on waste. The business model, like an iTunes for 3D models, will be massive.
I thought the whole "Web-apps makers are outsmarting Apple" angle was done by now. One of the reasons these kinds of sites work well is because Apple does a pretty nice job of allowing you to "appify" them. That kind of support makes it really nice, and shows that Apple is not trying to force people into the App Store. You might argue they overcharge you for using the App Store, but mobile web apps, when done well, are serious contenders for certain use cases. So there's really no reason to focus on this kind of drama.
As many here know, I wrote a book on technical blogging for "hackers and founders" (http://pragprog.com/book/actb/technical-blogging, now complete). In it I included Jekyll/Octopress as one of the available options, but ultimately suggested WordPress to most readers. WordPress, with its unlimited number of features, allows you to set it up quickly and start writing. Jekyll/Octopress requires you to write quite a bit of code if you want to obtain the same level of customization that I recommend for professional blogs. It's a growing ecosystem, and one to monitor closely, but at this stage I feel it would be a disservice to my readers to blindly recommend a somewhat Spartan system that requires hacking if you want to add, say, a list of most popular posts in the sidebar.
This is great. This will open sooo many possibilities.

Something that strikes me as ideal (for the target audience I imagine your article is written for), is enlisting in the Armed Forces (Any DoD branch or the Coast Guard) as the benefits are threefold:

1. As soon as four years after highschool, you start college after getting some life experience and visiting new locations.

2. You get some job experience to apply to your academic experience, with 6 years in you could graduate with more than 4 years of applicable industry experience with expensive (read "cutting edge") equipment.

3. When you do go to college, it'll be paid for in full (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-9/11_Veterans_Educational_...). Not to mention a possible sign-on bonus (often $5,000+) that you did remember to put into a Savings Account four years ago, right?

I've read this same article every quarter for 5+ years now. In another 10 or 15 years, law schools may start to focus more on the importance of clinical education, but the change will continue to be slow.

I graduated in 2008, and still learn something new every day about how to be a good lawyer. If that doesn't continue for the rest of my career, it's my own damn fault.

On the Move, in a Thriving Tech Sector
I had an extraordinary experience at university, though I did not follow the same path professionally. It gave me a grounding in self-responsibility and access to a million kinds of wonders, and while I wish I had taken some CS and mathematics classes as my degree is heavily arts-based, I could pick these things up later auto-didactically (though it's a life long dream to return to get a CS degree). I don't think my education experience failed me at all and many of those around me: it ultimately came down to personal passion to make the most of where you are.

Printrbot: Your Very Own 3D Printer
There used to be a dual-track system, where you could study law by either attending a law school, or apprenticing with an existing practicing lawyer for some set amount of time; and either way you could then take the bar exam to be licensed. Typically people would go the apprentice route to become trial lawyers, and the law-school route to become appellate lawyers or specialists. Seems the apprentice route has either been abolished or fallen into disuse, though.

This article's proposals for reform don't really seem on the mark, though. As this post points out, his suggestion for expanding law-school practical clinics, and staffing them with tenured faculty rather than instructors, is pretty directly contrary to his complaints about the expense of law school, since that would only increase it: http://balkin.blogspot.com/2011/11/david-segal-on-law-school...
There was a discussion on the related blog post for this last week: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3234791
Cote d'Azur, in South France, is arguably the most marvelous place in the world, for its cuisine, its weather, its landscape, etc. (I guess many of the most wealthy people on Earth live there.) I had some local friends there and spent some days with them: They did complain a lot about the weather, and would not go out of the house if the wind was slightly stronger than adequate, or if there was one slight possibility of a thin cloud veiling the sun for some minute in the afternoon.

I once flew from Dali, Yunnan to Chengdu, Sichuan. From the plane's window we saw the moment we entered the enormous, province-sized sea of gray clouds over the Sichuan basin, leaving behind us blue sky and sunny hills. At the airport, the Sichuanese people said weather was really much better here. They actually prefer year-long heavy gray sky!

No kidding.

People complaining about their weather is not related at all to the quality of their local weather, which is not easy to define anyway. It is more a consequence of their way to see things. (Currently reading Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, it resonates...)

I guess I should elaborate on my statement about Wordpress because it came out wrong. I realize Wordpress is powerful, extremely powerful. What I meant was that this comes at an expense. This power means one has to deal with a very extensive API. This is great for someone who needs it (or knows it), but when building a personal site, dealing with an API requiring more than a couple of pages of documentation seems wrong (to me). Something like having to keep af functions.php with a 20+ sloc function to generate the current page title.

Obviously Wordpress does not suck, it is one of the most used blogging platforms. The feeling I got when tweaking it to do something different from the standard themes was that I was using a chainsaw to slice a loaf of bread. It was certainly powerful enough and it could certainly get the job done, but it wasn't easy and it wasn't elegant.

And here is an overview of the files in my custom wordpress theme: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3240627/wordpress_folder_structure.p... :)
I haven't seen any articles that condemn Pike without also attacking the system he's in. After all, the students weren't just protesting him. They were protesting all of the brutality in the Egyptian and OWS protests. They aren't calling for him to be beheaded or anything, just fired. And they're calling for his bosses to resign.

I think everyone realizes this already. It's why the incidents in NYC are treated as isolated "bad cop" stuff, compelled by the mayor. While Oakland is seen as a thoroughly corrupt system. People can tell which systems are OK and which systems are broken.
...the oh-so-wonderful pursuit of our own individual self-interest, the same way its huge antlers doomed the gigaceros (for the individual male gigaceros, bigger antlers were always a net advantage against competitors in the "struggle for life", but they assured the species inability to adapt as a whole).

Some actions have externalities and should be subject to pigouvian taxes to internalize the externality. Few people, including libertarians, dispute this point. Once harmful externalities are properly taxed/penalized, then it is no longer harmful for individuals to pursue their own self interest.

You are also correct that signalling (e.g., growing large antlers) generates harmful externalities. Thus, we should tax signalling activities such as obtaining a college degree, wearing a suit or writing in a moleskin.
These are actually two different "rename" commands. bgaluszka's version is usually found on Fedora/RHEL/etc. systems coming from the util-linux package, while your version is usually found on Debian/Ubuntu/etc. systems coming from the Perl package.

I prefer the regex one, of course, especially since it takes proper Perl regexes :)

You have to be careful of this though and probably avoid using this command in shell scripts.

edit: You can just stick Debian's rename at $HOME/bin/rename.pl and call it a day; this command is useful in the terminal since it's less typing than a for loop.
