I’d strongly recommend matplotlib. It has a matlab like procedural interface that makes it very easy to pickup if you’re coming from matlab.

Additionally, it’s wonderful to be able to “dive under the hood” if you need to create a special type of visualization: i.e. the internal model is easy to understand and highly customizable. This has enabled me to create several awesome plots that would have been very difficult, if not impossible to create with any other plotting program or library.

Overblown Hype About Facebook Ads Versus TV Does Social Media No Favors
"If you're anything like me, it's easy to assume everyone lives in a world where $10 for Spotify is a pretty big deal. My friends moan about that price for unlimited music. $200 a month seems huge to me for anything I'd buy. It's only recently I've fully started to appreciate just how much money enterprise clients willing drop on "simple" products that meet their needs."

For businesses those SaaS services are a core need. Leisure services like spotify are the wrong thing to compare prices to. Think about how much of your budget you spend on housing, food, transportation. $200 / month is peanuts for those kinds of things. That gives a better idea about what businesses are willing to spend on software they need for their core activities.

There are many colouring apps, this is what is wrong, too many. And while the app is really nice and well done it does not add something special to deserve the founding. If you want to engage the users there are many better ways.

I'd suggest Flask. Flask is a very lightweight microframework, yet it contains everything you need to write a web app in Python. If you want to write everything in one file with Flask, you can. If you need several files, you can do that. You can use proper views if you want. Or not.

Riding != commuting, for me. I mean, being on a bike is nice, but going for a ride implies a more care-free attitude, and the complete liberty to go fast and sweat (there are no showers in the office). My favorite thing, once upon a time, was to just grab the bike in the morning and go.
Not sure the path for windows, but on OS X you could make a repository at ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2/Packages. It doesn't separate out system packages (basically all your language info/syntax highlight settings), but all your user-installed packages go there and user settings are in Packages/User. If you cloned that folder into a fresh install, it should bring everything you had previously along with it.

Though this is 'old news' I was surprised by knowing who stands behind web.py.

Several years ago I was doing a little cozy web questionary tool and after trying Django, PHP, Perl, etc I've come to web.py framework. It was pleasure to work with databases, web templates, etc in web.py environment. I really enjoyed making the tool and the result code was tiny, clean and easy for understanding. Though it was a tiny tool I was very proud and next time I used web.py for a bigger project (proprietary for internal use only) and it was pleasure again.

Recently I've read three parts of "raw nerve" articles and found them interesting. But I didn't even pay attention on author's name. Now reading "Rewriting Reddit" all the pieces has been bringed together and I'm thankful to Aaron for his web.py and "raw nerve" articles.

Feel free to provide link that show the design patent law has an exception for context (domain) of the article. From what can be read in the actually law, it require the same novelty as utility patent, and this requirement is:

An invention will not normally be patentable if:

The invention was known to the public before it was "invented" by the individual seeking patent protection;

The invention was described in a publication more than one year prior to the filing date; or

The invention was used publicly, or offered for sale to the public more than one year prior to the filing date.

Was the public unaware of how flipping an page on a touch screen looked like before this "invention" was shown, specially when one consider the significant similar design made in prior published animations?
On the contrary -- you have to at least admit that if you disconnect a compromised machine, the attacker could have installed a script that detects that the machine is disconnected and erases evidence.

If you power off, you can always mount the hard drive read-only and do a forensic analysis.
If it's crap or ridiculously overpriced, they'll pay for it in the tip anyway.
First Software Maker Joins BitTorrent Lawsuit Bonanza
Yes, it's more complicated than just SSH'ing into the server.

But on a compromised machine you can't trust anybody, not even the kernel. Assuming the worst, the attacker could have gained root privileges and modified the kernel or the base tools like ls and grep. You also can't trust the log files if they're not stored off-site. The modified kernel or ls could hide the attacker's traces from you.

Thus, the only possibility to really make sure nothing is hidden from you is to (power off the machine and) attach its hard disks to a trusted computer where they're mounted and investigated.

Email Is Broken - Stop Trying To Fix It
Thanks for clarifying.

I assume if they had root though, they could theoretically install a rootkit in the MBR. Did you SHA256 verify the MBR too? :)
I've been thinking a lot about email security and encryption in the past year. Especially since everything you send on, for example, Gmail is stored on their servers forever, even if you "delete" it, and even if you're super-paranoid and use your own mail servers, you'll be mailing other Gmail accounts that record your activity anyway. 10 years from now the government could mine your past communications in ways never before imagined in the era of paper mail and paper shredders. Things you said a decade or even two earlier that were innocuous at the time could be brought as evidence against you.

Because of the nature of easily-copiable bits, the only real way to be secure in communications is encryption with something like GPG. But public/private keys are a completely unfathomable idea to regular people. Hell, they're even confusing to techies. Even if the concepts are understood, implementing and using them is cumbersome and error-prone to say the least.

That's why I think the most important thing to be working on, from a social-importance perspective, is a way to make GPG-style encryption friendly, usable, and easily-grokked. The problem of good-enough encryption has been mostly solved, I think--we just have to get people to use it!

It doesn't contain everything you need at all - that's why it's called a microframework.

If you want to use an ORM, or have database backed sessions, or user logins, you need to write all that yourself. For example: http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/patterns/sqlalchemy/

Depending on what you're doing, that might be a good thing - but I find writing things which are already included in Django pretty annoying.

when talking about the API he states ": I imagined how things should work and then I made that happen... So how should things work? The first principle is that code should be clear and simple. If you want to output some text, you call web.output. If you want to get form input, you call web.input."

This is beautiful and exactly what programmers need. I can't emphasize enough the importants of simple intuitive APIs. This, for example, is in my opinion the #1 reason why jQuery dominates web frontends.
I have to say that this is one of the most insightful comments I have read on HN.

Do you think the people of Palestine should sit idly while some foreigners grab their lands and park them like animals in a reserve? Do you seriously think that what was done was right and justified and that the Palestinians don't have valid reasons for being pissed off against Israel?

How would you feel if what happened to Palestine happened to the country you live in?

>It doesn't contain everything you need at all - that's why it's called a microframework.

I said everything you need to make web apps in Python, and I stand by that. Maybe it doesn't have an ORM or user account management, but for my purposes, it's great for small apps.
You get used to it. The first time I can empathize. I've been rejected 3 times now, I hardly noticed this time and forgot about it until I saw something on HN. You stop pinning any sort of hope on getting accepted and keep building/marketing/promoting/improving and life goes on :)
As someone who has a lot of experience in social media marketing both through apps- and other areas:
If you're asking for help you're wasting your time. Rather focus on making a product or structuring the product so that others WANT to share it. Which results in viral-ity. If you're marketing plan even slightly focuses on "asking others to help" you're doomed from the start.
-obviously this doesn't apply if you allow for an intrinsic benefit of others (example: Tor encourages users to share in order to better mask secrecy).
I can't help but point out, it's grammar not grammer. It's hard being a solo dev though, it's very possible though and it sounds like you're on a great track with 3k users :)
Django is much more compatible between versions than Rails

Functionality added usually doesn't break what currently works (except maybe for bugs fixed)
So false facts shouldn't be claimed, and that should be enough to not respond with snark. If there's another point to make, by all means, but be civil about it.

As for accepting borders - there are many reasons, but first and foremost pragmatism. Some Israeli cities in the West Bank will never be moved, and insisting on their evacuation is just an excuse to not make peace. These large inhabited areas are practically suburbs of large Israeli cities which are not in the West Bank, and wouldn't inhibit Palestinian life in any way. A land swap is the reasonable thing to do.

For comparison, up until the 40s the Israeli government (to be) accepted pretty much any proposal that would just let them get on with it and build a state (Peel Comission 1930s, UN Partition Plan 1940s). They too had endless justifications for why they should get more than they were offered, and how unjust it would be to settle for less, but ultimately they chose the future over the past.

Palestinians can cling to their version of a just solution for another hundred years and go nowhere, or accept the perfectly reasonable framework that was already put on the table by Clinton in 2000 and accepted by Israel:

* Over 95% of 1967 territory, with the rest made up for in land swaps
* Full control over East Jerusalem
* Billions of dollars in aid to resettle all refugees in Palestine

Many countries have defensible grievances over which pieces of territory should or should not be under their control, but still get on with their lives and live peacefully with their neighbours. Palestinians don't, and we should ask ourselves why.
Well God dammit! I want to control everything, even randomness!
The main reason for preferring spaces is wrapping complex calls split across lines. (Of which there is a lot in some languages such as obj-c or JavaScript.) We just went through the whole tabs vs spaces debate on a new project here with, I think, open minds and a general preference for tabs, and ended up using spaces. The alternative was tabs for basic indentation and spaces for line wrapping but that's too hard to maintain.

YMMV
The motivation behind colonialism might have been selfish, but according to the article, it still resulted in economic development benefiting everyone today.

tl;dr The British may have been greedy jerks, but they still got rid of the thuggees (making the roads safe) and (mostly) ended sati. Actually it's hard to find a selfish motive for that last one.

I'm assumng this is a show HN (could be wrong), so if its critiques you'd like I'd say the #1 problem is the design and visual layout, the generic bootstrap is nice for quickly throwing ideas together but for an actual project where you want traction for me its kind of too unprofessional looking. Otherwise, great job though, I think from an idea and functionality perspective this is awesome, and I would be interested in helping out if you would like it :)
