My first thought was "Awww, it's in CoffeeScript" :) It looks like there in fact is an issue with how people (at least me ;) ) react to CoffeeScript... I wonder if you have real control over the performance. Anyway - it's a great idea and I think the name is appropriate.

Is this true in the design world? I personally like having many options, or multiple ways to accomplish the same result, as long as they don't get in the way of each other.

For instance, I would be sad if my phone only gave me one way to turn up the volume. Instead, I like that it gives me 3-4-5 different ways, all useful for different contexts. However, it would also make me sad if it wasn't 'easy' to turn up the volume.

Isn't it the designers job to consider all the different operational contexts and understand all the usage scenarios in all those contexts? And, to make its use 'easy'?

If your dependencies already support 3.x, at least in some svn/git trunk publicly available, there is no reason for sticking with 2.x.

I think the minute Django supports Python 3, we'll see the level of whining drop to almost zero.
Take a look at the Emacs Starter Kit README:

https://github.com/technomancy/emacs-starter-kit

Basically it uses a combination of `package-installed-p` to check if the package is installed, and `package-install` to install said package if it is not.

Note this is for Emacs 24, which comes with `package.el` preinstalled.

Exactly my concern. But judging from some of the other comments it is indeed uploading your bookmarks.

I'm sorry to say, but I consider bookmarks slightly private, and I wouldn't want just any company to look over my shoulder and read all the pages I bookmark.

To everybody who is downvoting this, this is heights of hypocrisy and fanboy'ism.

I am just applying the same principles to Python what used to be applied to Perl.

And more importantly there is data to back up everything that I said.
I see your Haskell and raise you OCaml, which has / and /. operators and you use float_of_int with /. if you really do want a float at the end.

# 5/2;;
- : int = 2
# 5 /. 2;;
Error: This expression has type int but an expression was expected of type float
# 5.0 /. float_of_int 2;;
- : float = 2.5
I know you intend this to somehow be a cutting remark, but you've just described the business model of every hipster feel good activity, from "fair trade" coffee to Project Red.

The bottom line is that the hipster (aka Person C) is not going to employ the homeless. They are not going to fork over money out of their pocket, or create a positive sum job. Because it's hard. Instead they carp on the sidelines about "exploitation" (what does that even mean?) rather than stepping up and doing something themselves.

I really don't get the use of "exploitation" here. I guess the unarticulated concept is that these people are poor, and have no skills, and thus no leverage with which to negotiate for high pay...so it's "exploitative" to pay them anything, or anything below minimum wage, or anything below a software engineer's per diem?

This concept refuses to engage the fact that for a business to stay afloat, one's pay is upper bounded by the profit produced. There is no obvious business model by which a homeless guy with no skills is going to produce $80k/year of value. But there is some possibility that they can produce $20/day, or $7k/year of value.

The hipster will attack a hotspot job as exploitative, they will attack a minimum-wage "McJob" as exploitative, they will even attack the conditions that software engineers at EA voluntarily tolerate as exploitative. In fact, they will do everything other than step up to personally show just how it is possible to profitably employ someone at B's skill level without being "exploitative".
Looks great. Will definitely give it a go.

> Isn't it the designers job to consider all the different operational contexts and understand all the usage scenarios in all those contexts? And, to make its use easy?

People wouldn't mind if that's what designers did. And it's probably what good designers do - perhaps good design is invisible to most users.

But for examples of what bad designers do see the user interfaces of many graphics manipulation programs over the years. See especially "Kai" and their awful interfaces. Media players are similarly awful.

I don't mind if my one phone gives me 3 ways to do one thing. What I do mind is if that is different for every phone, even from the same manufacturer, and it changes each time they release a new phone.
To be fair, via TSB, the UK is investing in new technology companies... not sure how that compares to their investment in car manufacturing, though. However, afaik the main "investment" in banking was to save the banks that were going bust.

From Newark, the B is $40 before shipping. Even if I could get one, I can only get one. But I can't get one. Their hook was "Raspberry Pi | An ARM GNU/Linux box for $25. Take a byte!" They set up that expectation. I can't do that yet. Its a bit disappointing. That's all I'm saying.

What I really wanted was a handful of A's where the price of each one, even after shipping (thanks to the multiple unit order), is damn close to the $25. I'm still hoping they'll get there. Its just disappointing that this hasn't happened yet.

Someone is going to provide a so-cheap-its-disposable linux computer. I really do want it to be the Foundation.
There's a potential for exploitation. People make knee-jerk comments. Maybe in this instance people made a mistake by instantly condemning this stunt.

But make no mistake about it - it's a stunt. These homeless people get a tiny amount of money for a tiny amount of time. There's no real meaningful difference made to their lives. A few people get to meet homeless people and that's great, reduces stigma and promotes social inclusion. But did any of those homeless people go on to get jobs?

In general, when you're dealing with a population with large amounts of mental illness, substance misuse, victims of violence, etc you should be extra careful to provide proper support.

Like I say, this group appears to have done okay, and some of the people complaining are doing it wrong, but they could have done it better.

That's so idiotic, I can't believe it might be the consensus on the python lists. It's exactly the right approach if you want to keep everyone on python 2 forever.

Linux developers and sysadmins are lazy by default (with good reasons: they have a lot to do). To make them get off their arses, you have to switch defaults and scream loudly when stuff breaks, otherwise they'll never bother.

If the problem is that it will break package xyz that is so old and completely unmaintained that nobody can fix it, well, it's a good reason to drop a zombie package. If your code depends on a zombie package, things would have broken down sooner or later anyway.
Government was forced to make such decision because Bayer sold these drugs at a price unaffordable to most Indians. This to me seems like a very stupid decision from Bayer's management. The shareholders must act against the board now.

however because of such decisions companies will find it risky to invest in life saving drug research. I think government should also take some steps to win their confidence.
Unless you believe Django ~ Python.

And that is bad news for Python, trust me. We have already seen this in the past.

Perl ~ CGI/Sysadmin
Javascript ~ Jquery
Ruby ~ Rails
Python ~ Django???

This is a dangerous path to go and never does good over the longer run.
Bayer said it was "disappointed" and would "evaluate options to defend intellectual property rights" in the country.

Down-vote me if you like, but I get sick to my stomach when I read sentences like this. If someone is able to deliver and sell the anti-cancer drug by 97% cheaper than you, then in my eyes you have no right to interfere. I am starting to dislike the whole concept of intellectual property and patents and copyright. These are tools of greedy people and bring nothing to the table for the wider audience. No one creates anything just by himself. You are always building on the work of others and merely deriving, combining, changing and mutating it. Whether you do it consciously or unconsciously. It is the principle of cultural evolution and it is why we are where we are. If intellectual property was always practiced the way it is today, I fear we would still be in the Middle Ages.
Exactly. A fair bit of python 3 has been backported to python 2, and there exist tools (like http://packages.python.org/six/) to help paper of the cracks. You might not necessarily be able to keep things 100% source compatible, but if you think and plan a little bit you should end up with a codebase that can quickly port over to python3 once all your third party libraries are supported and stable
> you should be extra careful to provide proper support...they could have done it better.

But the thing is that the people criticizing are (a) providing zero direct support to the homeless and (b) not actually going to "do it better". Few of the people offended by this whipped out their own $50 or $500 and said that they'd pay the homeless guy that much to do something else.

That is the point: few of the critics are actually capable of "doing it better" or would be able to withstand the media spotlight that would accompany an attempt.
Fewer than 200 Indians used the drug in 2011; impact on sales should be minimal [1]. Bayer's concern is probably the export of these generics (illegally) to other places where it sources more sales from.

Fun with phenolphthalein
On principle, you are right. However, Rs 2.8 lakh for 1 month of pills is inordinately expensive. It's something that no one but aristocrats will be able to afford. By the standards of the Indian society, I fall in the upper middle class category, and that amount is almost half of my annual salary (more than half after tax deductions). To get an idea about how expensive it is, just think whether you could afford to buy a new car (even a cheap one) every month. Another point worth noting is that most Indians don't have medical insurance, since typical healthcare is quite cheap in India.

Under the new forced licensing terms, Bayer will still be making money. In fact, it might end up making pretty much the same as before, since volume will increase dramatically thanks to the 97% price cut.
What a disappointing step for Y!'s new CEO to take.

Yahoo! is a media company, Facebook is a networking/platform company. They should be looking for ways to work together and build value instead of attacking each other and destroying it.

To me, this just looks like a complete waste of Yahoo's time and an incredibly silly way for Yahoo's new CEO to be investing his resources - they have so many problems on so many fronts and the last thing they need to do is draw themselves into another battle.

I mentioned this on another thread, I and I think its worth repeating here: what a disappointing step for Y!'s new CEO to take. I have to think that Yahoo is looking to lever an early settlement because of Facebook's pending IPO - a quick way to make some gains. Regardless, I think it is a wasteful way to do business.

Yahoo! is a media company, Facebook is a networking/platform company. They should be looking for ways to work together and build value instead of attacking each other and destroying it.

This smells more like an ego-driven decision more than anything else. What an incredible waste of time for Yahoo. Yahoo has so many problems on so many other fronts and the last thing they need to do is draw themselves into another battle.
The contortions necessary to justify violating copyright should give some indication of its viability. People are going to copy things. It is only when people make money from violating copyright that there is any chance of any type of enforcement. PG is now aligned with clowns like Kim Dotcom and others that believe they have a moral obligation to download copyrighted material. A good deal of the Internet is essentially under frontier law, the cowboys have wide latitude but so does the sheriff. This attitude that "all movies should be free" kumbaya bullshit should be left to script kiddies and pimply faced teens.

HTML is a text markup language, not a device interface language. CSS is a page layout language. HTML and CSS are designed for optimum user control as well as designer flexibility. You assume you're designing for one type of device. Designers before you have assumed 96dpi for web pages. The W3C realize these assumptions, realize that the user may want to use a different type of device, and thus define px in terms of DPI.

As others have mentioned, if a user prints a web page on a 1200dpi printer, your 960px fixed layout is 4/5ths of an inch wide. Your users would not be pleased. Under the device-centric interpretation of px, you'd have to provide a medium-specific style sheet for every possible type of output device. Designers would not be pleased.

Maybe you're trying to use HTML+CSS as a rendering target for a general purpose widget library like Gtk+. In that case, I can understand your frustration.

I see no reason why Twitter would aquire Posterous for any reason other than the experience that the staff have. As far as I am aware Posterous doesn't hold any valued patents. It doesn't appear to be leading the way in pioneering technology. I don't really see how the site itself fits in with Twitter's strategy.

It looks like a smash and grab to get more staff. Is this a statement about the typically applicant Twitter recieves when looking to hire? Its also a shame as aquisition's like this are happening more and more often killing off fairly popular websites in the process.

I generally agree with most of what you are saying, but honestly this litte-s socialism, fascism, communism thing you are doing is making me gnash my teeth a bit :)

Socialism was and is at its core about the working class as a whole owning the means of production, becoming the only social class in existence and in effect ending the cycle of class struggle that has defined human history for the past few thousand years (at the very least since Marx & Engels first formulated scientific socialism. Utopian socialists had similar visions of a future society but usually lacked the framework to clearly articulate their criticisms of existing societies).

The term Communism, although used since the XIX century, became mainstream in the XX as a reaction against the perceived reformism or capitulation against capitalism of the then-called "socialist democrats" of the Second International. Technically, though, Communism only means the end-goal of the socialist struggle, again a classless society where everyone works according to their capacity and receives according to their needs (see 'The Critique of the Gotha Program' by Marx, or Lenin's 'State and Revolution' where the distinction between the revolutionary transitional stage and the classless, stateless end-goal of Communism is clearly made. Yes, Lenin thought a society without any State at all was desirable). The fact that States ruled by Communist Parties implemented imperfect versions of socialism, or had any number of problems small or big, in no way should make you pretend that the definition of Communism is "the government owns everything". Or, much worse, that it is in some sense just the same thing than Fascism. This makes no sense historically or theoretically, and is about as accurate as pretending that parliamentary democracy in industrialized nations is at its core all about spending 10% of their GDP in weapons and bombing the shit out of third world countries.
