Hi..

Look at the personality tests investment banks ask, and reverse the scoring.

- How often do you go to parties?

- Do you find it hard to make friends?

- Are most people basically dishonest?

- Do you get a buzz out of taking risks?

etc.
I'll say something not related to the service but to the .title image.

- You'd most likely want to do a sprite with the mousehover/mouseout images
- Both images are 75kb-ish, so you'd probably want to display/hide the bandage (still in a sprite) on mouseover/mouseout
- The eye moves slightly down when you hover it

8:53 wake up. Hung over. Again. Meeting's in 7 minutes. Start a pot of coffee. Stumble back to the desk.

9:01 answer the Skype call, offer a quick "I'm here" before switching to mute so they won't hear the sounds of coffee brewing, much less the groaning.

9:12 carry around the laptop while starting laundry, then into the bathroom and out again. Nobody suspects a thing.

9:35 coffee's starting to work. A good thing too, have to say my piece. Short and sweet but not too gruff.

9:37 hangover's coming back for round 2. Get back in bed with Skype on low.

10:08 shower time. Really gotta buy drano soon. And toothpaste.

10:35 third cup o' joe. Start working.
Magnificent Museum Replicas - Bring Home a Masterpiece Today
Gone are the days when only the aristocrats or the rich and the famous had access and capability to get magnificent art pieces at the places where they dwell. Now- a- days, everybody who has got a taste for art and want to beautify home can get antique museum replicas at unbelievably low prices.

There's a bunch of wild hypothesising about why men use these sites more than women. For example:

"Men are more promiscuous, so will be on these sites even if they're already in a relationship"

or

Agreed.

When I went to my first tech conference, I couldn't understand how people walked around with CEO on their name tag, yet that company sometimes consisted of themselves and one other employee. To this day, that annoys me (probably more than it should).

The rule of thumb should be: If you have no board of directors, you have no CEO.

Founder will suffice.
Please quote your sources, because it's exactly the reverse. I can prohibit anyone from entering my club or shoe store if I don't like their color of shirt. I just in most places and under most circumstances can't do it based on an exhaustively listed set of factors such as gender, skin color, ethnicity, etc.

Furthermore, saying 'in Europe' doesn't mean anything. You might mean 'in most European jurisdictions I know of', or 'under EU law', or 'under Council of Europe law', or whatever, but even then there are so many nuances that that statement alone doesn't say anything.

Hi. I work at OkCupid.

I coud have saved you a lot of trouble. Your results confirm what all dating web sites have always known, and which we've made no secret about: Nearly all initial messages are sent by men.

This does not mean that the site is "better" for women than for men, relative to any other form of heterosexual courtship. It's a deeply ingrained cultural, and perhaps biological, norm that men make proposals and the women evaluate them. If you went to a singles bar, you'd find that all drinks bought for strangers were purchased by men for women.

As others have pointed out, the choice of different cities interferes with what you were trying to demonstrate, though the effect size was so huge it was difficult to not confirm it despite the confounding factor.

There is an explanation missing in that answer about how python 2 goofed up and python 3 strings fixed things. Without that explanation, showing how the Python 2 strings must be "decoded" is just terribly confusing.

It doesn't really make sense to "decode" a proper string type. Ideally the language should never reveal how it represents strings internally in memory, so you can think of strings as a sequence of abstract unicode codepoints with no specific encoding at all. And Python 3 strings are like that.

Spain vs Portugal Semifinal Euro 2012
The Managing Director title is used for very senior positions in finance firms in the US. Sort of equivalent to partner in law firms.

Finding the title CEO ostentatious is fine, but a company with 20 people is a big company. I have never managed anything that large. If someone is running that sized company, by all means, they should call themselves a CEO if that is what they are comfortable with.

At the end of the day they need some title, and CEO works as well as founder, president etc.
If the Irish government still had their own currency, they would be able to devalue; their debts would become cheaper, and they wouldn't still be suffering in 2012 for a crisis that happened in 2008.

In addition, the original cause of the ridiculous lending from banks - both in the US and EU - was ridiculously loose monetary policy, as a result of over-large governments trying to stimulate their economies out of the recession of the early 2000's. If banks have more money available to them, they're going to loan it out: that's their business.

If only we had more small and independent countries with their own currencies.
> I've always found the CEO title somewhat ostentatious in a company with less than 10-20 people.

It is.

My startup is a team of six, and soon to be seven. One of the team once asked me what his job title should be. I told him to make it up himself. It doesn't matter what your title is. It matters what your role is.

These wanky "05:00 herb tea CEO" posts are the equivalent of titles (and tantamount to linkbait IMO). The value contributed is the equivalent of the role.

Or, put another way: it doesn't matter how you do what you do. It matters what you do.
> I assume this is why a large number of Linux distributions are stuck on 2.6 and 2.7 still.

This doesn't match my experience at all. Most distributions I can think of had no problem replacing 2.6 with 2.7, and have offered fresh Python 3 packages alongside them as well for years now. My distro of choice (Fedora) has dozens of Python 3 libs packaged.

Ubuntu is aiming for "no Python 2 in main" by 2014 now, and Arch even switched to Python 3 by default already.

I'd go as far as claiming that the distros are actually at the forefront of and partly driving the transition right now.

Not sure. The expat scene seems so vast whenever I'm back in good ol' Berlin (and more so every time). Flocks of English-speaking-people-of-all-accents everywhere I look (well inside the "groovy" parts of town of course). I wouldn't imagine anyone having to miss out on social life in Berlin, at least not due to language.

As someone who lives in Eastern Europe (Belarus) and has been a heavy and analytical user of dating websites (in fact there is only one in the Russian-speaking part of the Internet) I can say this:

1. Your assumption is false (it's the same as saying "due to obesity and other problems in the US quality men outnumber quality women").

2. Your conclusion is definitely false. The situation is exactly the same as elsewhere: the demand from men is many times higher than the supply of women.

There are no plans to permanently stop doing posts as far as I know. OkCupid's user base has been growing rapidly over the past year, to put it mildly, but we're still only ~30 people so we haven't had much time for the more peripheral aspects of the site. I know there are some things in the works, but I'm not directly involved so I can't really give a time estimate.

Amen. Python 3 has created an incredible amount of work in the aggregate for the authors of all the 2.X libraries that must be ported. Even worse, libraries that are no longer actively maintained must now be taken over by someone new and ported. All for new language features of very dubious value. If Python 3 brought us real threading with no GIL, that would be worth the pain. But instead, we get removal of a few warts and backward-incompatibility. One can only imagine how much damage the years of incompatibility and confusion caused by this decision have curtailed the popularity of the language. 2to3 is impressive and useful for implementating arbitrary code transformations, but obviously it can't magically make old code handle bytes/chars/unicode properly from a semantic standpoint.

And think about how the 3.X changes totally screwed the Jython and PyPy (and Cython, and IronPython, and...) teams. We were headed towards much higher-performance implementations of the language, with additional powerful features like sandboxing and JIT, and it was set back years by the 3.X schism. Furthermore, the continued complication of the language makes it ever less likely that core problems like the GIL will ever be fixed. (Yes, I know Jython and IronPython are GIL-free.)

My startup relies heavily on Python, and the only reason I don't seriously regret choosing Python as a core technology is that there was nothing else better at the time. The Python overlords have reduced the language to the best of bad options; it didn't have to be this way. FAIL.

I still hope against hope that there will be a Python 4 that brings backward compatibility and GIL removal. But since none of the overlords seem to care about either of these goals, and since both get harder with every new Python 3 release, it's probably just my own sad little fantasy.

When you set up a company in Toronto or New York there are clients at every corner, lots of industry meetings, and a large pool of developers to draw from as you grow.

When you set up a company in Timbucktoo you get none of those things. That means that a company at the margin is happier to pay for a developer out of NY, so there is increased demand in NY than there is in Timbucktoo. This drives up salaries in NY.

> The only reason salaries would be depressed in backwoods places would be if the cost of living was drawing in so many workers that it drove salaries down.

Remember there are two curves, supply AND demand, and they resolve simultaneously. Workers could be leaving the region and salaries could still be going down, provided demand was decreasing as well.

I'm using stable Debian and RHEL in server environments though.

Fedora, Arch and Ubuntu are orders of magnitude too unstable for me to go near and I'm sure the same is true for a lot of other people.

> And think about how the 3.X changes totally screwed the Jython and PyPy (and Cython, and IronPython, and...) teams. We were headed towards much higher-performance implementations of the language, with additional powerful features like sandboxing and JIT, and it was set back years by the 3.X schism.

I don't see how the 3.x changes have set back PyPy "by years". PyPy was focussing exclusively on 2.x until very recently, and made its last big steps towards production-readyness entirely undisturbed by the 3.x transition. As of a couple of months ago they now have a small team working on 3.x support, which has made huge progress in a short time frame and doesn't seem to have detracted from progress in the core and further 2.x release at all as far as I can see.

> Furthermore, the continued complication of the language makes it ever less likely that core problems like the GIL will ever be fixed.

Ironically, specifically the oh-so-handicapped PyPy is currently working on a new approach to address the GIL with their transactional memory work. And the language has gotten less complicated with 3.x, not more.

> I still hope against hope that there will be a Python 4 that brings backward compatibility and GIL removal. But since none of the overlords seem to care about either of these goals [...]

Right, that's why 3.3 just added back support for u'' for increased backwards compat and ease of porting.

You're making a lot claims that simply seem to have no basis in reality.
Some suggestions about an idea
Hi,

I have an idea about a app where a person can ask on a question on a social platform say twitter and may be some one on gtalk can answer the question.
I would like to know if there are any such applications available and also suggestions about if someone would really use such an application.

Would love to hear your suggestions and critics are welcome
"Basically it is men who are using these sites, not women. And until someone cracks the code on that, it's going to be a fairly one-sided experience."

Correction: There are more men using the site who happen to be similar to you than there are women. Filtering your pool to people with a 90%+ match percentage is like showing up at a comic book convention and saying "Damn, this city is a sausagefest!" There could simultaneously be lots of Perth women with stereotypically female tastes and interests complaining that those with 90%+ matches are all women.
