> the resulting merge commit will contain a copy of my GPG signature from the git tag.

Ah, I see. Thank you for the clarification.

It was not overall integrity of the trees that I was bringing into question. While the code review process may be a problem for certain organizations, I am not doubting that process for the kernel. With such a process in place, signed tags are likely to be sufficient, yes.

Note, however, that one of the points I was trying to make with the article was proof of authorship (to prevent someone from committing as you, much the same way as you would want to prevent someone from fraudulently sending an e-mail or message through any other means). It is for this reason that the workflow you described is not a complete alternative, but would be an excellent means of augmenting the review process for any project.

That said, author identity is not a concern for most projects, in which case, based on the quoted portion of your comment above, my arguments do not necessarily apply (assuming that all commits that are not yet ancestors of a tag are ancestors of a signed merge, as mentioned in your comment).

Might I ask how the maintainers deal with issues of identity? If they encounter a commit in your pull request that appears to be from a well-known contributor, do they verify his/her identity before merging, or do they not care?

>My biggest issue with the anti-union crowd is that they don't realize that Unions are just another competing force, except instead of competing in the marketplace, they're competing in the production line. Why do you think our golden example, Silicon Valley, has managed to stay away from unions? It's because of treating their workers pretty damn well, by anyone's standards.

I disagree. The problems with unions is that they don't have to compete. If hiring a union worker were an option, then yes, they'd be competing. But that's not how it works. It's hire them or be fined. Period. That's how it works. Being forced to hire a local guy at $40 an hour just because I'm in their jurisdiction is strictly anti-competitive. The world isn't huge anymore. Forcing to hire local makes no sense when there are better people (ahem me! ahem) suited for the work.
I think the tone of the article was to be more light hearted, rather than objective and factual. The stock photo laden video really doubles down on that gambit.

I think a laid back attitude is novel, and has a lot of power. It's made me associate Circle as a fun startup, which might have been the whole point of the article - a recruiting and promotional tool - in the first place.

Oracle Studio (now version 12) has not even started work on C++11 support. It will be a long time before their compiler comes anywhere close to gcc/Clang in support.
It doesn't matter if the solution is publicly available - if their interview process is based on the assumption that the candidate is completely unaware of the problem, this method neglects the (more common) case of a candidate asking other people in her network who've interviewed at Airbnb what happens in the interview.

In the interviews I've done, I have actually had a recruiter (Robert Half Technologies) ask the candidate about the interview, the candidate discusses my coding challenge with the recruiter afterward, and then the recruiter made sure all other candidates knew of the problem long before my interview so they could be prepared.

My solution has been to have a multi-stage problem that shifts in an unexpected way - if from the 1st stage the candidate anticipates my "plot twist" I end the interview because they've been caught cheating (think "Design a car" and then later "turn this car into a boat" - if from stage 1 the car has boat-like tendencies, they're cheating.)

In my opinion, Political affiliations ought to be chosen by mature persons not forced upon infants.

No state should have claim upon a person simply because of where they were born or spent their childhood because the logic which underlies such claims is the same logic which underlies chattel slavery. The nexus is most obvious in places such as North Korea, however, if one considers the proportion of states which one considers repressive it will probably represent several percent of the entities one recognizes as states.

While I am probably not an anarchist, I find utility in their analysis of politics and nationalism.

Have to agree...the video is, frankly, terrible in terms of product promotion. It actually made me lose interest in the app because it seemed to indicate there was not much to be excited about in the app, since so little functionality was shown.

Sorry, simply having a Royal class is paying lip-service to a state of affairs that is unhealthy.

How it actually works because people (or more specifically, parliament) don't feel like aligning theory and practice is not my problem.

If to the law there are more than one kinds of people then you may say that in theory it isn't like that however in practice this has all kinds of real effects and these will remain as long as Royalty is not formally abolished.

Knighthoods are one of those effects, another is the fact that people of 'royal blood' are to some extent above the law. And are protected in ways that no commoner would ever be protected.

On top of that it is still hereditary rule, you may be Knighted but your children will never accidentally be born King or Queen. And to me that is just plain wrong, ceremonial or not.

Edit: now I'm at -3. Still, I'm going to let this ride (not delete it), as even though it is not about the web site, I think my suggestion is serious and would benefit Python - i.e. get to the right audience here.

I will also add that Python is my favorite language, and I hold it in a completely separate league from every other language I'm familiar with. Nothing else comes close.

That said.

"Python.org Redesign Request for Proposals"

I was initially excited about the title - due to misinterpreting what 'redesign proposal' might read. I was awed as I started reading the first half of the first sentence of the linked article

"The Python Software Foundation (PSF) is accepting proposals

WOW

for architecture,

WOW

design, development, and maintenance

WOW

...of the primary web site.

Oh.

I really thought you were reaching out the community, really talking about the fundamental design of Python (how I misconstrued the HN title) even from people totally outside of python, in an unprecedented move.

I thought you were really setting out to evaluate fundamental design decisions, that might eventually lead to a Python 5.0 that lives on the web and is attractive to whole swathes of novice and advanced developers who currently use PHP. I think such a widely advertised call for design proposals would benefit everyone.

The websight redesign reachout is, of course, not really connected with such a thought.

At some point, you have to stop saying "only in cutting edge compilers" and start saying "only in compilers that aren't archaic." Intel's compiler has pretty complete support and Microsoft is working diligently on Visual Studio's C++11 support.
It would be nice if the community would agree on a simple header that indicates "notification" so it's easier to filter automatically.
I actually really liked the video! I think it really helped sell the story and drama of the app. I know that a lot of videos focus on the features of a particular app, but I think this video did a pretty good job of selling the benefits of the app - all while being consistent with the different branding elements.

A video doesn't have to be a features list. It has to tell a story.

Wait... I don't get this.

The guy has "thousands of unread items in my inbox" that he will never get to.

His priority inbox has 26 unread messages of which only 9 are directed to him (others are mailing list, sent by a machine whatever that means and newsletters).

I presume his "normal inbox" has the same ratio of email "from machines" and directed to him directly since there is no reason to be any other way.

To me this paints a picture of a person who does not take care of his inbox and he wants me to send an email to him? Really? That guy wants to "talk to me" and he wants to get an email from me, presumably so he can write a blog post about having thousands of emails in his inbox?
Nope, I don't get it.

In my desperate search I started to make a list with languages that compile to JS.
Then - an idea came to me. How about I put this in the coffeescript wiki, post it on Hacker News then people will crowdsource it.
It worked like mad, in an instant people were adding projects and I was organizing it.

Now I see people making sites/communities out of it. Small world. I guess it's a topic of interest.

PS
Crowd-sourcing is an amazing experience.

If you have a single page app that is heavy on js, skip the demo video. Record some audio and have it actually use your app as it plays. Pretty cool stuff.
I think you misunderstood his comment, though admittedly the word "expected" was probably unclear. He said "might". In other words, if the market price is $38 and you place a limit order at $40, you may get $38, you may get $39, you may get $40.

So if the price is moving (upward) quickly, you will get a price in the range you implicitly specified, but you may not get the price you had hoped for.

The Lords is virtually a non-issue IMO, given that the Commons can pass most legislation without the Lords' consent (via the Parliament Acts).
I'm not a VC, but, to be comprehensive, you'll need to put the negative impact of the suit publicity - whether she wins or loses - on her career against what she might gain by winning.

If you sue McDonald's for food poisoning frivolously, have the bucks to do so, and are somehow immunized against a countersuit, there's no downside.

Pao, win or lose, is going to have a very different VC career than if she never filed suit. That's a pretty big downside.
IMO periodic website redesign and cleanup is a good idea as it does make it easier for users to find information and gives a comforting feeling of a professional look to new users.
I wouldn't count on it any time soon. Currently those apps are going to be the ones you get because the iPad /iPhone is still somewhat of a specialty device. I don't think we'll see it iOS 6 but possibly in later versions of the operating system. As the platform becomes even more mature and people begin to use it more as a primary device I can see Apple letting you swap out default apps.

One thing that would really make the website work better is to make pages like http://docs.python.org/library/stdtypes.html hierarchical with an overview and one or two sub levels so each function gets its own page, making it easier to find via search (The Google) and do dynamic linking from IDE:s or whatever if the url routing were set up smart.

Today when you search for 'random.choice python' you get to the random front page with 20+ random functions forcing you to first click on the google search result (probably with a lower CTR than if you have had the function name in the title) and then when entering the docs page hit CTRL+F and do a page search for 'random.choice'. That would make my life easier, and annotated documentation, preferably with some kind of "like"-functionality pushing the good answers up. I do get however that some people like to have the full spec for all random functions in one page...
