That's the brilliance of the the model which I believe was pioneered by Heroku. The ingredients are a super easy-to-use platform and a free plan with resource but no time limits. This way you attract people in when they are poor, inexperienced, have no admin skills, and no expectations for success of their app (which is a huge market). By the time they need to upgrade the platform is proven to them and it's a significant pain point if they want to move, so they willingly pay a heavy premium over what the raw resources would cost if they set them up themselves.

> Netflix at a 74% discount

The missing piece of data is that Netflix was massively overvalued before, and that now they've just jumped down to a very normal price to earnings ratio. Just for comparison:

NFLX P/E: 15.49
AAPL P/E: 14.12
MSFT P/E: 9.33
GOOG P/E: 21.26
AMZN P/E: 101.21

Amazon and Netflix were the two before which completely stratospheric prices, and now Netflix has come back down to earth. From what I've read, lots of hedge funds were shorting Netflix since they figured this had to happen eventually.

To some extent, Python's methods are a lot closer to multimethods than methods in other single-dispatch languages (largely because they have an explicit self).

Let me say again that I think OpenPhoto is a good/interesting idea.

My responses:

1) It's a laptop that's constantly moving / offline, so no. I think you should take this issue seriously, because users like myself perceive hard drive space to be "free" or at least we already paid for it, but paying $10/mo just for photo storage seems kind of steep compares to the harddrive+Flickr $2/mo option.

2) Come on now... I think you should think of some nifty sync feature so people can edit locally and upload async.

3) Great! If you have a nice UI, you should put a nice big picture on the landing page right in my face!

Regardless of any particular case, in my opinion, civil law is a complete farce everywhere in the world (as far as I know).

The problem is that the risk of litigation is sometimes totally disproportionate. While one side may risk a small budget overrun in their legal department, the other side might find their life in ruins for decades, including things like paying for their children's education.

I think this needs a constitutional amendment urgently.

Best practices of providing passwords to cronjob?
A linux machine on my company's LAN is tasked with taking database snapshots daily, as tier-1 backup. Those are remote MySQL databases I don't have root access to. The machine has a cronjob running mysqldump, using password authentication to the mysql servers. Output goes into Git for efficient storage†.

What is a sensible way to store authentication credetials (the plaintext passwords) used by the cronjob scripts for database access?

† For reference, so far I have about 700 daily dumps, each daily dump amounts to some 100...350MB, git store size is about 125MB total after running git-gc. The dumps are about 5...50MB per database, as produced by mysqldump.

Go read a satirical work written from before the 20th Century. Take your pick.

Alice in Wonderland, Alice Through the Looking Glass, Gulliver's Travels, Dante's Inferno, anything by Shakespeare.

There are endless references in those works, with varying amounts of veiling, to popular personages of the time. Some politicians and princes, but also what passes for the pop culture of the age, usually some mix of court personalities, criminals, and occasionally a notable artist or learned person ("scientist" wasn't quite applicable for much of this period).

With the exception of arts, letters, and science, most of those names are all but lost.

Porn, or gossip, or other intrigue, has a broad currency (many people find it accessible and/or interesting), but also a very temporal one.

It's not that there weren't porn stars in the 1800s (vaudeville, "Little Egypt" at the Chicago World's Fair), but simply that you'd have no familiarity with their names (unless, say, you were an academic researching 19th century and prior pornography).

Because openCASCADE is the only open source solid modelling kernel approaching the same league as the Parasolid / ACIS / Inventor / Rhino kernels. Imagine the possibilities if more people had easy access to this level of reliable geometry manipulation. You could use it on the web, for REPRAP type stuff, all kinds of things. Innovation in CAD and therefore in construction and manufacturing could happen a lot faster if you could code agile languages against a good clean and •simple• API for very little start-up cost. Simple is the key word here, I don't see why there can't be a high level API which requires the same level of understanding of solid modelling as using the software through the UI.

EDIT: I was dissing openCASCADE before, didn't mean to.

The problem with this analysis is that we're only seeing a tiny fragment of the whole. All of the work that paypal does to combat fraud and illegal activity is largely kept secret, sometimes for legal reasons. A fraudster, moneylaunderer, or a fence isn't going to blog or tweet about paypal shutting them down, and paypal isn't going to make a fuss about it either. The tragedy is that such things happen routinely, almost certainly more often than paypal screwing over an otherwise legitimate business transaction. The latter tends to happen when there are unusual aspects in play (people operating without a business or non-profit license or using paypal incorrectly but not intentionally fraudulently).

That said, clearly paypal needs to improve the way it handles customer service and probably introduce a better way of disputing holds on funds.

I like the Clojure form of multimethods a lot, it's even neater than CLOS. ( http://clojure.org/runtime_polymorphism )

C's dynamic dispatch hack isn't so terrible though--e.g. Microsoft has been doing it for a long time by sticking in a "useless" instruction at the start of every function. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/oldnewthing/archive/2011/09/21/10214...
+1. el-get is the homebrew of Emacs, and is even better for letting you hook in to do custom init.
I'm genuinely interested (not being snarky, honest) - could you explain why you think that expression has anything to do with multimethods? Like I said previously, I'm new to Python and I'm curious what that expression actually means.

You code to an interface and use an IoC container or dependancy injection framework to provide an instance of an object containing the required functionality.

So yeah, lots of reflection and tools :)

You can override the behavior of a function based on the types involved. For instance ``coerce(a, b)`` calls ``a.__coerce__(b)``. By overriding ``__coerce__`` for one type you can customize this.

Does Clojure do method combinations? I was very fond of :before, :around and :after methods of the standard method combination and loved the fact that, if you really wanted to, you could have your own method combinations.

I know that "Aspect Oriented" tools support some of this stuff, but the last time I looked at those (admittedly a while ago) they seemed, at least for Java, to be pretty hacky. Not that I use Java anymore...
XHTML was poised to offer much more than "correctedness". Reliable validation, custom DTDs, extensions, better interoperability. It just wasn't meant for the general web, where you have a massive number of non-technical authors. I don't think this comparison has any place in this discussion.
I don't need to go back in time as I remember the 1990s. Even in 1995, Python was one of the top choices for high-level "scripting" or embedded languages. Perl was the hot language, and the other main choice was Tcl.

I used all three non non-trivial projects, and liked Python the best. It was better at handling complex data structures than the other two. Tcl was an easier language for my target audience (scientist/non-professional programmers) and it was easier to embed and extend Tcl, but Python's module and object system made up for it.

By the late 1990s, others in my field were already shipping Python-based applications, using Python bindings to Motif.

IMO, people didn't take notice of Python because of the "strange indentation", because high-level languages are seen as being too slow for real work, and because people coming from a statically compiled language often want the assurance that compile-time type checking gives.
Don't waste your time reading books. Read code from good programmers and program yourself. You will get way more from this.
It strikes me that a developer working on the server side doesn't have at least an idea of what POSIX is.
There's three things here. First, adding a toolbar and screwing with user settings is freaking lame, but everyone does it and it's something that's been an accepted way to monitize software development.

However, injecting that into other people's software is low, especially if the developers aren't aware of it. CNET should be ashame.

Lastly, the way they present it to users should be plainly criminal. There's a way to offer additional programs, and that's with a checkbox. The screenshot they show is CLEARLY meant to confuse users, whereas even I would have clicked next hadn't I seen the circled text. On this point CNET should be sued for deceptive tactics, because they put NMAP (or the name of whatever you downloaded) as the title, and present buttons that are meant to deceive, making it seem like it's NMAP's own EULA.
We are facing something of the situation.

It's probably worth mentioning that the MBTI, at least the way it was explained when I did it, is meant to show a preference.

The example that I was given was clasping your hands together. If you interlock your fingers to clasp your hands now, you'll do it in a particular way, one thumb on top of the other. Now, it's perfectly possible for you to clasp your hands in such a way that the other thumb is on top. It doesn't feel completely natural, but it's possible.

Preferences, depending on your energy level or mood, etc, can alter.

Personally, I use my MBTI result (INTP) as one of many reference points when I find myself getting frustrating for no obvious reason, or just as a way to understand that other people have basic motivations and preferences that can rationally differ wildly from my own.
How do the customers respond to this? I haven't tried this approach but it sounds like a great way.

I thought Python 3 was already D.O.A. I haven't seen anybody using it nor have I seen any compelling reason to start using it myself, or any reason at all to even keep it on my radar.

When v3 was announced, IIRC even the Python folks themselves actually suggested that people just continue with v2.x until later when v3 becomes mainstream and it never did. In fact, I was surprised to see negative criticism about Python 3. It seems to me that nobody has been using Python 3, and therefore not complaining about it either.

Pattern Language

It's about architecture, buildings, towns. How to make them work, to serve all the needs of them, and how to allow them to grow.

What is important to me and influenced me heavily is the thinking behind it. All parts of a large system in harmony, well-separated concerns, and working together to achieve a common goal.

In architecture (computer as well as construction), there is also politics. We pour ourselves into these systems, our beliefs come out in their design and implementation.

There was a lot that I learned from that book, and a lot that I still go back and refer to.

GOF took their inspiration here, it's obvious from the structure... perhaps you should see why?
