Python in the browser would ultimately lead to all the same problems as Javascript in the browser. In a few years, we'll be hearing: Clojure in the browser, Scala in the browser, Haskell in the browser.

I've been programming in Python full-time for the past 6 months, and it's main deficiency are the same as JavaScript's: no (optional) static typing - I'm really sick of writing checks whether my function got values of the correct types, and unittests testing if a class's/function's signature changed in an unexpected way.

What we need, in my opinion, is a dynamic language with powerful optional static typing (unlike Dart, where types are just comments), with sane object-orientedness, and support for immutable values. The core has to be really simple, but the language has to be powerful enough so that libraries can provide the missing functionality (math - rationals, matrices, ...; concurrency - channels, isolates, ...; GUI, IO (with formats, ...)).
But you just draw the image first from vector and blit that. Vector gets all the normal bitmap speedup tricks that way.

Reading your PNG from the disk in the first place will be slower than reading a compact vector, rendering it and caching.

Re-rendering from CPU can often be faster than GPU bus access times on PCs.

Anyways, it depends on what you're optimising for. I was just illustrating how vector can be much better than bitmap in many situations.

"Game theory explained" with too many assumptions. Such as that punishment is so costly that it creates another problem of the commons, as the punishers (who are a subset of the cooperators) get less our of it than the non-punishing cooperators. I'd say this is wrong: in repeated games punishment is not a cost but an investment. A threat must be carried out in order to be credible in the long run, and thus a cooperator who punishes a defector (or a 'joker' for that matter) is better positioned in subsequent games to be treated fairly.

What your asking for is not something you can find on the internet, that has to be found with real connections! You have to go out and meet people, the right people! Hackathon, meetings!

If you do ask on the internet, you should show what you have done before or something you have made. A website about your yourself. Saying you have an idea, that is in fact not that much.

Ideas are nothing, execution is everything!

Good luck on your adventures! :)

You also would not be able to minify it properly because of whitespace identation constraints. Or am I off on this?
The premise of "tl" - "too long" - is a negative. While a convention, it's also dismissive, and that's what makes me sad. It reminds me of Emperor Joseph II telling Mozart there are "too many notes" in The Marriage of Figaro.

I would prefer people said "summary" or "precis" instead of "tl;dr".

In any case, it's only one of many conventions. Another convention is that "The Atlantic", "New Yorker", etc. write high-quality short stories and don't dive into technical details. It's sad that people feel that other readers here are ignorant enough of history to need additional clues about a 150+ year old magazine.
Browsers supporting JavaScript and some other bytecode format would bring web innovation to a crawl.

I think once browsers are able to debug in the originating languages people will stop complaining about this.

Allowing casinos to kick out anybody who shows winning potential is pretty much guaranteeing that the odds are always in their favor. It eliminates the 'jackpot' style story like present here.

Also of note though, is that while Atlantic City casinos can't eject people for winning, they can hamstring them in a variety of other ways. Usually they just change the table stakes from "$100,000 max bet" to "$0.25 max bet" on whatever table the winner is on, severely limiting his winning potential.
My understanding (I don't have an iOS device) is that the standard iOS email client has remote images enabled by default, and if you turn that off, then it doesn't leak at all. I think all email clients should have the option to automatically load remote images, but that it should be disabled by default. The problem is, users don't understand that by clicking the "load remote images" button, it will be possible to track them, so they often don't understand its purpose.

It is possible for an email app to not leak at all. All it has to do is not load remote content unless the user specifically requests it.

Yes, these tricks are commonly exploited. Most of the time, people just use a simple img tag pointing to a 1 pixel image, although recently there was some news about Facebook using the bgsound tag.

I don't know if law enforcement ever use these sort of techniques to try and track down suspects, but it wouldn't surprise me.

Does it have an option to enable/disable automatic loading of remote images? If so, what is it set to by default? And does it still leak if you disable loading of remote images?
Thanks -- that's what I assumed initially, but had second thoughts after seeing how delayed the announcements were.
I believe hours worked is only relevant to the type of work being done. Yet I think it is overall unrealistic to expect a forty hour week. Having been raised on a farm I know that forty hour weeks are a vacation to some, even now self employed people would scoff at forty hours. We have great examples of what happened to many of these prized union jobs that limited work to forty hours on top of rules that prevented people from doing "other people's work". Not many of them are good, hence they moved into government jobs where there it is much harder to bankrupt the employer for lack of production.

You work forty hours a week to be average. No one I know who is well off works only forty hours a week. Now they don't do the same tasks all those hours but they are doing something. The key is making sure the hours you put in are beneficial not just "doing work".

The rest of the world certainly isn't going to work just forty hours a week. They upcoming economies are going to put in whatever it takes to get where they want to be. Those of us who sit back and claim enlightenment by denouncing such hours are only going to end up being passed by.
Unless he's a machine, his 5-6 hours will be producing shitty, sloppy code that others will have to fix later. This is not a net-positive.

For a contrary view on game theory, I highly recommend watching the excellent BBC documentary series "The Trap" by film maker Alan Curtis.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Trap_(television_documentar...

In the first episode, Curtis examines the rise of game theory during the Cold War. It discusses John Nash's paranoid schizophrenia and shows footage Nash in his later years acknowledging that his paranoid views of other people at the time were false.
Thats a long to-do list...

No such option that I can see.
Interesting that it seems to loads remote Flash content. I wonder if you could do anything nefarious with that capability. I don't know Flash enough to comment.
I didn't down vote, and agree that people should be able to work as much as they want.

However, when I read sloppily written comments with poor grammar and syntax, I always wonder if the author also writes code in a similar manner. I kind of take it as an insult when author's don't do their best to make their work easily understood by others.

I can't help but wonder what the cost would have been to keep it running, unsupported even?

I knew Milk was going to do multiple apps - I didn't think they'd delete their old ones before they started on their new ones.

It now seems apparent they're looking for 'the one' that sticks and they're not interested in building a portfolio of products with a strong fan-base. I would have thought keeping their early-adopter user base happy would have been a really valuable asset.

I feel they'll get a less favourable uptake for their next app now, so if Oink didn't get the traction they were looking for they might struggle more next time.
Agreed! AMS is my favorite airport to fly into. When I arrive from outside of Europe the line for border control is rarely more than 5 minutes. Unlike, say, Heathrow.

All workers are entitled to a legal minimum of 5.6 weeks of paid holiday.

This is incorrect. In the Netherlands, at least, 20 days is the legal minimum, though most people get 25.
I like how you capitalized the Real Programming Languages, as if it is some official definition.

The notion that python isn't real, is just silly.
Fun to read! Thanks for sharing! Although, i think the author talked to much about the ins and outs without explicitly stating for everyone that the joker allows everyone else to cooperate (to eliminate the joker) :P

QuerySet.prefetch_related lets you fetch related objects in a batch for the whole query set. In other words it does joins in the application. A really nice stuff. Take a look at docs for more info:

Can anyone confirm this? I've never seen an email client that lacks such an option...
Where’s _why?
However you look at it, with the clout Rose has (over 1 mill twitter followers) whatever he does next will get a ton of press and interest,probably even more so given the quick shutdown of oink. So why not save some cash and go for something new, at least they've come out and said it rather than leaving it to slowly die and not commenting.
Maybe because people are afraid to end up with a fragmented web all over again.

Preference of language shouldn't really be a factor. The real question is that any change must be properly standardized and implemented by all browser vendors else you end up with "This webpage is written in python and is only supported by Chrome 39+ and Firefox 43+".

Does using your prefered language really outvalue that?

I think the bytecode argument is a more feasable one, as long as it could somehow be compiled to javascript and support older browser versions effortlessly.
Arrogant people preemptively declaring failure and trying to enforce their baseless declarations on others is what brings innovation to a crawl.
Patterns for Information Visualization: Information tells stories
You are confusing productivity as a measure for the number of jobs.

We use man-hours as the measure for the number of jobs, so, if 4 people working 50 (hours a week) start working 40 that leaves 40 hours to be filled by another person (1 more job). Productivity actually increases even if the man-hours are the same.
The idea of enumerated powers is in Article I, and it's made explicit in the tenth amendment that powers not delegated to the US are reserved for the states or the people. The implication is that it's desirable for the US to have only the powers that require a federal government, as opposed to acting as a catch-all to dictate policy for the states.

I stopped using Sparrow due to a bug in their implementation of two-factor authentication for Gmail (it would always "forget" my app-specific password on startup). I got at least one (unhelpful) response to my support request(s) but the trail eventually went dead, with no resolution to the problem.
I do not have anything to say about the morality of Marijuana but I must say that carrying a illegal drug, apparently in a state with a higher chance of getting caught, is an incredibly stupid thing to do.

It is okay to get caught doing such a thing if the person is making a political statement; which in this case is not true. Otherwise, I think either the person should not do it or at least be careful while doing it (for his/her own sake). You might question the morality of an law, but it is expected to still be civil (and law abiding) about it.

Edit: grammar - clarification.
The Q Score: How Y Combinator's Startups Are Like Broadway Musicals
Perhaps I'm just fortunate, but in my current situation, I don't think this would matter much. Sure, my co-worker may get a larger raise, but I'm pretty comfortable with my current salary, and the fact that I can average 40-45 hours a week with a lot of flexibility in when I work those hours. Perhaps one day, my boss will turn evil, and tell me I'm not producing enough, but, at that point, I'll find other work, because I have no interest in working for company that expects 60 hour weeks to be the "norm."
They posted several icon drafts on Dribbble to gather feedback from the users, but it doesn't seem like they listened to the suggestions (or maybe they didn't have time to submit a new icon?).

I was careful to use the word "appears" - it's sexist because there's no need to mention the sex. "A bunch of people" works just as well, and avoids the "macho == works hard" / "girls == wimps" imagery that is problematic.

But if you look at the case of Christopher Tappin, who was caught in an FBI sting allegedly exporting missile batteries to Iran...

1. The batteries were dual use
2. He never actually did the deal, he was named as the exporter by the guy who did
3. He thought the batteries were going to Holland.

Now there may be more to this than we know, but none of the above is a crime in the UK
tldr: Not interesting because it only compares what big buzz names the projects can be linked to, not on the actual merit of the databases/DBMSes in question.
I'd say it's better to have half a product than to have a product that spills your e-mail credentials all over the web. It's not like they try to hide the shortcoming in their app, they are open about it. If you feel the lack of push is a dealbreaker then you can just not use or buy the app.
Given that e.g. the unemployment rate in Spain is 23% [1] and Greece is bankrupt, it seems a little quixotic to be highlighting European entitlements for workers, when the more pressing problem is obviously the huge numbers of people who are not working and cannot find work and to whom those entitlements are a bad joke. Indeed, some people might even posit a link between entitlements and the current economic mess in Europe...

I suspect there is some human admin level disconnect between their network ops/routing and the AWS team itself. A connectivity outage wouldn't necessarily get detected within AWS, and they probably don't have good monitoring within the AWS product to detect problems like that. The network team presumably doesn't have a good way to push status updates to the AWS dashboard automatically (and it's kind of a grey area what is a "network outage" -- if you lost routes to just Pakistan, that's not really a big deal for most AWS customers. If you lose routes to everyone, yes, that's a big deal.)

This is an interesting article, but The Tragedy of the Commons is only 1 of 7 Nash Equilibrium possible. It was cherry picked for a funny thought experiment where Joker is the good guy. Now let's try the Volunteer's Dilemma.

In the Volunteer's Dilemma a group is faced with an inevitable negative, and the only way prevent it is for one member to assume the negative unto himself. The classic example is jumping on the grenade. Nobody wants to do it, but somebody has to or everyone dies.

1) Assume Cooperators and Defectors only. Cooperators will eventually volunteer, Defectors never will. There can be a balance where Cooperators significantly outnumber Defectors, but if this balance is disturbed the population will eventually end.

2) Add Jokers. Jokers in this case would be like Defectors and never volunteer. Worse, however, is that Jokers would probably be so interested in the destruction that they would actively prevent volunteering. There can be no balance in a group with even one Joker still alive, and the population will end.

3) Add Batmen. Batmen neutralize the Jokers' ability to prevent volunteers, and are willing to volunteer themselves. The balance is restored as long as there are enough of these individuals to restore moral and put the group first.

So now in my thought experiment, Jokers are harbingers of the end while Batmen are necessary for survival.

True.

I still think it is a shame that neither Red Hat nor Jet Brains has joined forces with Scala/Typesafe. Both of these companies know how to ship products and make developers happy. This is something that Typesafe has to learn now. On the other hand, Red Hat and Jet Brains need to learn how to do language research... (which may actually be harder, once they go beyond fixing the obvious Java flaws).
Yes, you can compile PyPy to JavaScript. There even used to be a JS backend as part of the RPython translation toolchain, but it got dumped since no-one was interested in working on it [1]. There've been more successful attempts like RPythonic [2] in translating from RPython to JavaScript by going via Emscripten [3], i.e.

RPython -> LLVM -> Emscripten -> JavaScript

And, then, there have been efforts like my own which have focused on building a WebKit bridge [4] to PyPy.

This is nice, and the lack of push notifications can be seen as a feature – less distractions! One possible solution to that issue is to build a push notification server into the desktop version so they wouldn't have to store your credentials.

One thing that keeps me from using Sparrow for OS X (or any other desktop client) is that they download every email, and I don't want to spare the 7 GB of hard drive space for something I don't need every day. Mail for iOS lets me choose to store only the last X messages on the device, but I haven't seen that option on any desktop client.
