The mad man thinks others need help. Here's a quick way to check though: if this thread were about you bashing Lisp it wouldn't exist. I don't view any tool as such an integral part of myself that I would be willing to spend weeks defending legitimate (or otherwise!) complaints against the language. If you don't like it I don't care. If you trash it on the Internet I'll correct you a few times but I would never consider going to the lengths you have.

I think "multiple dispatch" is the wrong word. "Dynamic dispatch" is a much better word for what Python does. It's a ridiculously powerful feature. It lets you wrap and replace functions at runtime, which gives you incredible monkey-patching power, which is important to people programming in the real world.

My favorite example: Suppose you have a naive O(2^n) recursive factorial() function. I can write "factorial = memoize(factorial)" and suddenly your recursive calls are to my new wrapped function, which references your original implementation inside its closure. This is only possible because your recursive implementation dynamically dispatches by name. I have turned your O(2^n) implementation into an O(n) implementation.

In an unsafe systems language like C, I would only be able to accomplish the same thing with some severe memory hacks, and in a language like Java or C# I don't know how I would be able to do the same thing without some serious involvement in runtime reflection tools, and maybe even some decompilation.
Is it illegal for a judge to think? If one side presents a really bad case, do they have to lose even if they are right?

I've experienced this myself, so maybe my comments should be thrown out as biased.
I upvoted, because I thought about this very issue yesterday -- my primary project is a very large Python2 project that started after the declaration of 2.7.x as the end of the line. All of our dependencies were Python2, and many of them were too exotic or niche to have Python3 competitors.

I feel that my position is actually a majority in the Python community -- language users who are stuck with the branch that is considered unfashionable by the core developers and adding more resistance against migration to Python3.

In fact if you go back in time and look at some of the first versions of Python it's a very, very ugly language and it does not come as a surprise that not too many people took notice of Python in the early days.

This is why I've always found it difficult to love Python. It just didn't seem to me that Guido was familiar enough with previous language designs or had a sufficiently refined sense of language esthetics to be a world-class PL designer. Over time the community has built Python into an extremely practical and useful tool, but I don't think I'll ever derive the same sense of pleasure from writing Python code that I do from languages with a stronger unifying concept like Ruby or Lisp or even OCaml.
Same here; I've asked them if they have any other options, and failing that, I'll just use the check-by-mail feature of my bank.

Anyway, great work! The paper was a good read.

My guess for the downvoting is some mixture of these reasons or others:

* This posting isn't the place for your comment--try an "Ask HN: evaluate my idea" or something.

* Your point "I need $100k for my idea, I can't see why this is necessary nor why anyone would give it to me nor what I'd do with it all anyway" took too long to get to and you probably would have gotten some responses if that was all you had.

* Perceived money-grubbing. "Are you a sociopath?"

* Perceived reasons why your idea Won't Work

* Complaining about being downvoted

* Your comment is structurally similar to some spam comments I've seen--greetings, link(s), bullet points, ALL CAPS at places, already downvoted. Instinctive downvoting.

* "lol"

How Y Combinator helped us and lead us to TechCrunch
How YCombinator helped us and lead us to TechCrunch?

Hi there guys,

I'm Marcin - Co-Founder and CEO of UXPin. I wanted to share our story with you. It might help you on your own start-up journey.

One year ago we've launched our notepads. Simple thing. User interface elements on post-its for quick&clean web design.

We've got extremely lucky and somebody had posted us on new.ycombinator.com. That was an extreme traffic boost and beginning for huge press coverage all over the web. Fubiz, The Next Web, hundreds of blogs, finally Wall Street Journal.

But what's more important we've got great feedback from you. It really motivated us to do more and more and more.

We've redesigned our notepads (hard cover, additional notepad for concept work, unique post-its with double strip of glue). We've made App that can recognize paper prototypes and auto-transform them into digital wireframes…

Yesterday we've been mentioned on TechCrunch. Huge thing for us as this is second mention of start-up from Poland on TC… ever.

I'm not sure if you see causes here as I do, but I think without this initial post and discussion on YCombinator UXPin could be different…

…so thank you very much!

We won't forget that. You're all doing great job.
I recommend giving PHPFog a try.

I've been running a good-traffic site on PHPFog for about 6 months on the $29 plan. The product has some issues but, overall, I'm quite fond of it, the site speed, newrelic monitoring that they bundle in, and responsiveness of support.

Here are a few subtleties you may uncover. These may or may not be deal-breakers for you - they weren't for me (at least, yet):

1) No control over client-side caching policies via .htaccess. Though, I've heard it's in the works.
2) $5 subdomains seem highly priced. I would be using them if not for that.
3) No SLA (i.e. availability) which makes me a bit jittery.
4) Documentation is murky on MySQL resource usage limits (other than disk space).
5) Flashy error pages from PHPFog when/if the service is down make no secret about where the site is hosted and instance status. Some discretion is probably in order.

There's always room to improve ;)

Keep up the good work, PHPFog!

Scotch Whiskey Production on the Rise
The production of Scotch whiskey has increased by 23% percent over the same period of time last year. This production rate is increased due to rising demand of this whiskey in different countries. The export rate is still rising and this will increase in the future as well which will create a good impact on UK’S economy.

A number of reasons:

It's to guarantee a certain quality in the user base. Uses GPS to get general location and new iOS 5 face detection to guarantee 1 clear face in the profile pic. So we shouldn't get people just showing their eyeball or a group photo were you don't know who you're liking.

We're also native iOS developers. We're a two man band and have done everything in-house, iOS, Rails and Node development. We've done the promo video and composing of music in-house too. (Wife did the voiceover :)) All to minimise costs.

The revenue from our other iOS apps will be subsidising server costs.

If and when we launch on other platforms, we'll be native and use the APIs to guarantee a certain level of quality both in the App and in the user base.

Generally speaking, depending on how much income we generate will determine expansion on other platforms. We'll have to react to demand.

Why I Won't Date An Entrepreneur: A New Series
The trust anchor scheme SSH uses is "key continuity"

There is also RFC4255 which allows people to publish fingerprints of their SSH server public key in DNSSEC secured "SSHFP" RRs.

If you have a resolver which supports DNSSEC, you can run this command:

ssh -o "VerifyHostKeyDNS yes" grepular.com

You wont be prompted to verify the fingerprint as usual, because OpenSSH will already have done that verification using the DNS. You also know for sure that grepular.com has resolved to the correct IP address.

There is also "VerifyHostKeyDNS ask", which just displays the result of the lookup, but still allows you to confirm the fingerprint.

DNSSEC allows you to do stuff like this because it secures the integrity of the record all the way from the authoratitive DNS server to the users resolver.

There's also DANE (still going through the standards process) which allows you to publish a fingerprint of your SSL certificate on a domain/port basis, in DNSSEC secured DNS. If you install a Firefox addon named "Extended DNSSEC Validator", visit https://grepular.com/ and click the lock button to the left of the address bar, you will notice it says:

"Domainname is secured by DNSSEC and the certificate is validated by CA and DNSSEC"

This is because I'm following the latest draft of the DANE protocol. Will be nice when the spec is finalised and browser support becomes native. I don't like that any CA can currently generate a cert for my domain.

Another benefit that DNSSEC brings is with PKA records. I publish a record in the DNS which contains a URL to my public PGP key, and its fingerprint. You can automatically download my key and encrypt something using it by typing:

gpg --auto-key-locate pka -ear mike.cardwell@example.com

Replacing "example.com" with "grepular.com". Because I also have DNSSEC set up on my domain, if you have a DNSSEC supporting resolver, you know that the fingerprint you've received hasn't been tampered with on the way.

Of course, somebody could compromise my DNS server or the end users resolver. I'm not claiming that DNSSEC is a perfect solution. All I'm saying, is that the integrity that it provides to DNS lookups is massively valuable.

By the way, I wrote a long article about setting up DNSSEC on Monday: https://grepular.com/Understanding_DNSSEC

[edit] I forgot to mention the "Certificate Stapling" functionality built into Chrome now. https://dnssec.imperialviolet.org/ uses a self signed certificate, but Chrome users wont get any notification about that because of the tech described here: http://www.imperialviolet.org/2011/06/16/dnssecchrome.html

[edit2] Another benefit I forgot to mention. I use third party DNS slaves for redundancy. Because I'm using DNSSEC, those third parties can't serve up different records to the ones I configured, either on purpose or because they've been compromised. Well, they could, but DNSSEC supporting resolvers would just SERVFAIL the modified responses.

I don't see Netflix, which is a tech company, being able to compete with the movie studios on the production side.

Could you extrapolate as to why? I don't know anything about the industry, but it seems like the only reason the movie studios control production is because they own distribution. With Netflix controlling a massive distribution channel and having access to large amounts of capital, it seems that they could easily compete with the movie studios on production (and probably win because they're not encumbered by old business models and can offer better deals to top talent).

The 3 you just listed is just about the upper limit of my knowledge on pornstars. As for scientists I think you can get 5 out of most people and probably 10-15 from most high school students.

Most notable pornstars aren't any more notable than most notable scientists. If you go to porn conventions you know the people in the industry. If you go to academic conventions you know the people in the industry. If you do neither you only know by whats trending.

After we got hosed by Paypal, I was crying over alternative solutions for creating an escrow solution for our marketplace. These guys saved us a lot of headaches dealing with escrow and helped us get setup at 2 A.M! I was a bit disappointed when the entire setup from registration to implementation to getting paid only took 15 minutes (translation: I was absurdly happy it was working so quickly). I spent the rest of the night removing my ugly ole paypal implementation.

That and their client libraries make it stupidly easy to get setup! Highly recommend it for marketplace startups!

You can charge more when you expect fewer hours. Maybe not as much you would normally make. In the end your client would, or should, appreciate the price and how fast things got delivered.
So bill them for the hours you spend. If your prebuilt code makes you faster than you would otherwise have been then that means you can move on to other work faster, they get a better deal, and they tell other people that you're awesome.

I had a similar experience when I accessed my personal PayPal account from another country.

In this case I was both the buyer (from my personal account) and the seller (my business paypal account - I was using my own app to register a domain).

So despite the fact that I had access to both accounts PayPal interfered and did not let either side mark the transaction as legit! Various emails to paypal later I gave up. I did everything they asked, re-verified etc

It was basically impossible to sort out either through the paypal interface, through their customer support, or by phone. At least I know what my customers go through... bye paypal.
"This is probably why CNET switch to installing the Babylon Toolbar yesterday. This is a good and welcome move by Microsoft, but the whole process of paying “distribution partners“ to changer user's home page to MSN and search engine to Bing is rather sketchy"

I am puzzled by the reaction of some journalists and people here. Have you actually thought why the toolbar is marked as malware? Usually, that's because one guy in one of the AV companies installed the toolbar, didn't like it and so put a flag on. Malware as a definition is something that does harm to your computer. We could argue whether this is actually the case as most of the toolbars, including StartNow just provide search functionality and homepage reset - this is how they make money - there is no reason to do anything sketchy on top of that.

I am not trying to defend toolbar companies here but the quote above that its actually a good thing to replace StartNow with Babylon is misinforming the public. These toolbars all do the same thing and they should either be marked all by AV companies or not. Of course its never gonna happen because there are some AV companies that won't flag toolbars because hey - they distribute toolbars too!
My way of charging - a fixed fee at the start, for the absolutely basic functionality (you usually use the pre-built code in this part), and hourly fee for fixes/updates etc.
The context was XHTML. It was more correct but it was wrong (now dead) path. XHTML created only problems, but was "more correct"

To be precise, XHTML promised that pages render faster, which turned out to be browsers fault, not markup. PyPy solves "render fast" problem for python2. What problem Python3 does solve? Unicode? No...
Makes some string operations more expensive because of the potential of having to convert between representations.
