Love this quote from Sergey Brin from 1999 (how things have changed!):

"Google's slightly different in that we never ban anybody, and we don't really believe in spam in the sense that there's no mechanism for removing people from our index. The fundamental concept we use is, you know, is this page relevant to the search? And, you know, some pages which, you know, they may almost never appear on the search results page because they're just not that relevant."
> "Using your ISP's services is obviously technically easier and cheaper for them so why wouldn't/shouldn't it be reflected in prices?"

That's not what Net Neutrality is about.

Truly it's cheaper for, say, Comcast to send VOD data across its own network than it is for Netflix to pay for its own ISP service and the various peering agreements it needs to get its data into Comcast's network. So those differences in costs can be reflected in their respective prices and that's fine. [1]

Net Neutrality concerns come into play if/when Comcast is allowed to set additional arbitrary restrictions on competing services, to make its own offerings more effective. Either by deprioritizing Netflix traffic in favor of its own, interfering with packets connected to services or protocols it would rather Comcast customers not use, outright blocking competing services, charging Netflix an additional fee above and beyond what a non-competing service would pay for a similar amount of packets, or any number of other nefarious schemes that the operator of a network could concoct to degrade the experience of competing services or drive up their prices.

Net Neutrality isn't about taking away an ISP's home court advantage. It's about making sure they can't actively sabotage their competitors.

[1] Trick is: the difference in marginal cost is negligible compared to content costs. So there's no real room for Comcast to 'win' against Netflix on price-advantage alone. Further, Comcast's motivation to violate Net Neutrality isn't to advantage its own IP VOD service against Netflix, but to keep the price of all IP VOD services high, to avoid IP VOD from cannibalizing the profits they earn from broadcast VOD. (Which are priced high because US cable operators often enjoy a local monopoly.)

No. "Racism is the belief that inherent different traits in human racial groups justify discrimination".

If it's based on the current social or economical situation of Russia, it's prejudice, but not racism. Remember that Russians are "citizens of Russia", not a particular ethnic group.
I'd just like to comment that, having built a medium to large Flask app over the last year, I would never recommend it as a framework for non-trivial sites.

I don't even want to sum up the amount of time that Django would have solved my problem instantly, but instead I had to pull my hair out dealing with Flask's global variables, circular dependency issues, and general lack of cohesion or standards. I think it's a great micro-framework if you're writing a one-python-file personal site or blog. Anything larger than that and you're going to regret it.

EnyoJS, because it's cross-platform.
Yes! Also, what's up with Miss Manners suggesting other ways for people to be polite? Why is she keeping me down with her "chew with your mouth closed" and "use the toilet paper, not the hand towels" bullshit! No one can police me! The constitution say so! I DO WHAT I WANT!

Or, and I'm just thinking out loud here, we could recognize that, especially in professional contexts, we actually want to behave towards our colleagues in ways that are polite and respectful. And maybe we could also recognize that our society has finally been reducing institutional sexism over the last century or so, and that there's still some work left to do.
"People" are so tired of "i'm being ironic" that they made a tumbler full of "ironic" racism and sexism. Gotcha.

I disagree with the assertion in the linked blog post that it's not possible to satirize -isms - in fact, I firmly believe it's necessary to expose the utter ridiculousness of these beliefs. Which, incidentally, is what the OP did with her anti-bot.

I built a couple of web.py apps and here are my observations:

-- Advantages --

* Minimal configuration (No configuration file, just run a single python file in the simplest case)

* Getting started is really fast

* import whatever libraries you like (PyMongo, SqlAlchemy, Mako, Beaker, etc) - No lock in

* The Web.py source is straightforward enough that you can go directly there to figure stuff out

* WSGI compatible

* No Admin interface and extra scaffolding

* Very simple URL routing interface

* Simple cookbook is available for adding basic features

-- Disadvantages --

* Smaller community

* Not a lot of documentation or guides

* Some problems will require you to look at the source

* No built in user management/auth

* Web.py development community isn't adding new features rapidly

--Conclusion--

Probably good for rapidly building simple web apps. It seems like the support/infrastructure needed for a large-scale production app isn't available. However if you are willing to build out your components it will give you maximum flexibility for a larger app

At the end, there will only be actually-amusing jokes, instead of cheap shots that are only found funny by people that think group X is enlightened normal people and everyone else deserves to be laughed at and ridiculed.

I think you can't make or enjoy snuff films without being at least really creepy. Crime fiction is far removed from the crimes it depicts: jokes are a vibrant part of the ongoing process that creates social norms.
> Let's imagine that Microsoft does a lot of lobbying with Comcast and they manage to make Bing Videos not count as part of your network cap whereas Youtube will be limited.

OK, let's imagine MS actually puts their servers in Comast's closets or arranges for some sort of direct connection(s) and it becomes cheaper for Comcast to serve Microsoft's content, now hosted on Comcast's own network or topographically close by. Should Comcast not be allowed to pass (some of) those savings to their customers just because a smaller company couldn't afford to keep their servers with multiple providers?
Couldn't you set up a simple web app to get one time usable (or reusable I guess if you want to allow sharing) of the images from Parse's API since Parse just stores them on S3?
Is Agile (big A) really as "proven" as proponents make it out to be?

I'd love to see some citations in the form of "Product XYZ that you know and love is developed using Agile" as opposed to the usual "My cousin's friend's brother's girlfriend used Agile for an internal CRUD tool and it went totally great".

In the real world, the few times I've worked at places that attempted Agile (Scrum both times) I've only seen Agile fail miserably.
Of course it isn't, if it was it wouldn't be prejudice.
> I thought Twitter was going to settle on having people with >XX,000 followers pay something, Freemium style.

That seems weird, like punishing people for their success, or letting others decide how much they should pay. (Unless, I suppose, that once you hit XX,000 followers nobody could follow you until you paid up.)
If your really interested in doing something about it, I would suggest taking a look at http://rootstrikers.org/

That video has changed my point of view on the entire subject and has allowed me to start striking at the root.
That's the thing though, having an awesome dev on the team who is just there is like having Michael Jordan on your team, but he only plays by himself. A good dev lead needs to mentor the whole team, that is his job. The idea is to bring up the quality of the whole team not to say "You all suck, you should stop coding"

TDD and Agile (pair programing in particular) is there to provide a path for weak developers to become stronger developers by following the path that is set for them by team leads.

Agile is a sham is a bit of an elitist post, and I don't want to work with a person like that because I will not be able to learn any new skills from them, except snobbery and contempt for people below him.

Jessamyn was obviously uncomfortable, and that's when it should have stopped. Without question. I don't think her gender was a deciding factor in that, more so sensibilities.

I appreciate her pro-active stance too. Rather than complaining she tried to beat them at their own game, though I'm not sure it'd help her in the long run. I think it'd piss the rest off - but saying that, is there any way around it? They obviously have not given her the respect she asked for when she told them it was offending her.
I've known a couple of companies who've worked on server-side ad fetching, stitching ad images together with content images, using only first-party cookies, etc. In both cases it was just too soon - the ad blocking problem wasn't deemed big enough to justify switching over from current ways of doing things.

Ad-blocking blocking (and analytics-blocking blocking) will be a real business someday, but I've never wanted to try it simply because I don't think I could time the market right.

>> Undoubtably a change this severe will be painful for some, but it will be less less painful than heading out to the computer shop in 3 years time to purchase the 2TB harddrive that will be required for the exponentially expanding tex updates.

Few arguments ever gain feasibility from hyperbole, this article is not an exception. The size of his texlive installation is purely circumstantial evidence, since that folder also includes backups of updated packages and all sorts of other "dynamic", i.e. user-specific data. Basing the argument on that seems...silly.

>> For those for whom adding the letters xe before typesetting is too much to bear, or for typesetting ancient documents

It isn't as easy as "just adding xe" before (La)TeX, since not all packages are integrated with it yet, and since the polyglossia package is still not fully stable, either (yes I know babel is old, but at least stable), so some packages have trouble dealing with polyglossia or have experimental interfaces in order to work with Xe(La)TeX. Csquotes is one of the packages that comes to mind.
A further problem with XeTeX is that it still does not offer a proper version of the microtype package. And on top of everything, the hyperref-support for colours is spotty at times, at least for me.

For me, depending on situation, pdflatex and xelatex live happily next to each other and are both included in the same in my generic template via the ifxetex package and \ifxetex...\else...\fi, so depending on what I need in a given instance, running either binary on the same file produces either output.
AT&T U-Verse also works in a similar way. One pipe carries data and video services. The circuit is provisioned to accommodate video services. AT&T could technically offer faster packages to customers who did not use U-Verse video service. It's very difficult to micro-manage how providers want to utilize their network bandwidth especially when we're looking at services that do not transverse the public Internet.
Why would they switch? These are new features they haven't been using and which probably aren't available on Silverlight or WebGL. Switch because they're adding an option you don't want to chose?
Dating before you get married is the best way to go in all business relationships. Business relationships are far harder than marriage, friendships and more.

Only focussing on healthy, short term relationships is the most important thing. If they are healthy in the short term, they will become long term on their own.

It's difficult to get on the same page, and even harder to stay on the same page as personal life changes happen.

Solving smaller problems together / hacking solutions is not a bad way to see how things are going. I am part of a small startup club locally and the past year of hanging out and talking shop about our own products, and building the odd utility together has revealed a lot about who I would click with.

A business partnership isn't something to lightly run into either. Educate yourself on the value of doing joint ventures first, or one party paying the other to respect their time. Once there is sufficient traction it can be converted into ownership as well.

Working with friends is also tough, but possible if you both are experienced professionals and know when to turn friendship off and work relationship on. You have to know how not to use the friendship or personal things as a weapon professionally, or vice versa.
I'm holding out for the Haskell version.
It pains me deeply to agree, but this is pretty much right. Comcast is, after all, a company founded on building a private (analog) network over which it delivers paid content to its subscribers. No one cared about "net neutrality" when they were trenching the cable in the 1980's.

The fact that this private content is being delivered over an IP network shared with its "public" internet service changes things a little, but not enough I suspect.

Which brings up the question: what does net neutrality mean for the last-mile ISP? It seems not a lot. It ensures equal treatment of sites on the public internet, but if a Microsoft or whoever wants to pay for "premium" service over a private network, they'll always be able to.

I don't think the idea that a "private" service within the ISP is less expensive is that obvious at all, really. Backbone bandwidth is overbuilt and comparatively cheap. Datacenter space and service management are new costs vs. just letting MS run it on their network.
> In CS some conferences are slowly switching to Word, or offering an option to authors (who are slowly switching to Word, especially outside of theory-heavy areas).

Huh? In my research areas (evolutionary computation, machine learning, artificial intelligence, multiagent systems, robotics) this isn't remotely true. CS conferences of almost all stripes have always offered non-LaTeX submission routes. But LaTeX dominance is just as strong, if not stronger, than it used to be ten years ago.

Indeed, I think that the stigma surrounding Word submission in conference papers, journal articles, books, theses, even grant proposal submissions, is so strong that one must think twice before using it in the bulk of CS fields.

I think it's totally relevant, I have worked with guys that have fancy PHD's from MIT that always over complicated the crap out of simple things. It's like when you buy something expensive or make an investment, you feel the need to defend and justify it to others.

It's the same thing here, you get a fancy degree and everything you do has to be complex to justify getting that degree otherwise what separates you from a guy with an average degree. It's probably more an ego thing, but I see this all the time.
Man this proves that -women- python programmers have no sense of humor.

Yes it is a lame joke. Really lame and yes it should probably have been turned of.

But dammit that joke is not sexistic -- just because it involves naked women (and presumably the the guy) doesn't mean it is against women. The joke has been said plenty of times in response to 'it is very small and hard to find', 'it doesn't look like much yet', etc.

Oh come on. The "mansession" was a temporary phenomenon, largely due to the decline in higher paying jobs that are historically held by men.

I think you are right, and when they frame this new service as "turning your existing Xbox into a set top box", it sounds benign and rational. But I'm afraid of the dangerous precedent that this sets.

TV-style subscription-based services work with users as consumers: the pipes go one-way, because each subscriber is just a dumb set of eyes with a wallet. But with the internet, and new disruptive content models, everyone is also a creator. The real danger of losing net-neutrality is that individuals will become unable create new media for the internet.

How is it okay for you to respond to every comment in this thread decrying men for being unaware of the horrifying effect these comments have on women, and also make the exact same joke that caused the original complaint?
It is better, but I am still disappointed.

What the author did was clever and interesting, and the reaction of this highest-ranked thread has been to steal the discussion from, say, the general application of a female hacker's idea and instead to focus on the psychological contusions of a group of guys we don't know, scarcely care about, and will probably never meet. And yet we are not even talking about how to convince them not to react like this: we have all established that their reaction is problematic, would someone mind suggesting a way to change it?

At least the problem is no longer sexism but laziness: changing people is hard, complaining about them is easy. Back to work! Jeez.
