Are there complaints in the Python community that Django contains too much magic? Serious question: I don't follow many Python/etc mailing lists so I'm pretty out of the loop on the general impressions people have of Django. I was kind of hoping that Django's magic-removal branch (merged all the way back in 2006!) would have helped here.

I used to work in actual currency trading and currency volatility is a pretty well understood problem when your dealing with smaller currencies (especially currencies used in politically unstable countries). You just need to maintain a bid-ask spread that's wide enough to protect you from the typical volatility (based upon recent historical data) and have a real-time trigger that suspends trading if the volatility exceeds your spread.

Bitter, resentful people attempting to fake being in love for the sake of their children whilst hating every minute of being together doesn't work very well either.

Remember, children model expectations for future life on what they see from role models, notably parents. Subconciously imprinting them with the belief that a relationship should be unhappy, fake and filled with resentment and anger isn't great.

Not to mention that a home inhabited by two people who don't want to be there just isn't a very nice environment for a child.

People need to write better titles. When someone wrote "stop writing classes" the talk exactly when to write them. When you have an object with two methods and one of them is init. This whole discussion is absolutely wonderful and is what is great about the python community. Write classes when they facilitate code reuse - don't write taxonomies for the sake of it.

Third Brackets: [][][Comment] Comment this word.

Combination Examples:

It's not about technology, it's about psychology.

If you're the target market for this phone you don't care much about the functionality, what you care about is that other people can see that you have so much money that you can carelessly throw around your phone that costs more than many people make in a month. It's all about perception.

Note that an important factor is that your peers have to know that the phone is prohibitively expensive. If they don't the point is lost. This is also why superyachts are so popular among the ultrarich. Everyone knows that they are crazy expensive to buy and maintain, and so they know you have the money to do so.

Douglas Adams has an unparalleled quote about the psychology behind it - "No expense had been spared to give the impression that no expense had been spared" This is also the only instance I've ever seen of recursion being used in fiction :-)

"An implementation may set limits on the size of texts that it accepts. " - How does that "support" streaming?

My argument is that most people don't need it most of the time (I can't prove this). It's also NOT a protocol designed for streaming. As regards API design, it's a matter of taste but my preference and that of many others who use python, as we can see with the popularity of requests, Flask, is that an API should be designed for simplicity for the common use cases rather than for absolute completeness.
I'm not saying don't expose a low-level API full of BufferedReaders, JSONParserCursors, but don't force it on me to parse a tiny JSON document of known length.

FYI this is a concern that companies using USD also face. (For example Apple will quote a USD price for a laptop that they will build using Yuan... even though the exchange rate between USD and Yuan is always changing).

In fact, your USD pizza parlor example is actually more complicated than you make it sound -- tomato prices, wheat prices, etc all fluctuate based on supply and demand.

I think this is a place where web entrepreneurs get confused because their high margins and large suppliers do such a good job isolating them from the problem: if web profit margins were 10% over the cost of hardware, and if you were running your own servers, you'd be exposed to the fluctuation of energy and bandwidth prices... you'd have the same problem predicting how much it would cost to serve a web request. (I imagine Google actually faces problems like these because of their scale).

So it's not like these problems don't happen when you use USD... it's that your margins are so high, and your providers are so good, that you've forgotten the problem existed in the first place. #firstworldproblems

For those curious how these sorts of problems are handled by non-web companies, the answer is derivatives. Apple will hedge their USD -> Yuan conversions as necessary with currency options, Dominos uses wheat futures, the farmers supplying wheat to dominos are using oil futures, and the oil company will have currency hedges for the 50+ countries they operate in. By buying and selling risk, companies are able to give you the feeling that prices are stable. Even though prices aren't stable.

Yes, but when people refer to the U.K. as a region, they usually mean the U.K. (i.e. including Northern Ireland) and the Republic of Ireland. Ireland is seldom its own region.

There is no mention of the Republic of Ireland in their earnings report, yet their European headquarters are in Dublin. "U.K." in the report means the U.K. and Ireland.
Their choice of "My" caused a humorous reaction on quite a few people who felt the computer was much more a separate entity than a mechanical extension of themselves (to use the terminology of the OP)...

How To Integrate DropBox Into Thunar (Fedora 18/XFCE)
Two points:

1. When OO was on the brink of becoming mainstream, let's say early 90's, there was an awful lot of the most idiotic rubbish talked about reusability. For example I recall one magazine article that, with a completely straight face, told readers that you would be able to buy an "Aeroplane" class that you could slot into pretty much any application that dealt with aeroplanes. So Joe has a point here.

2. This is not an argument for not using classes within a single codebase. And indeed when I see Erlang functions pushing all the relevant state around as parameters in a big mess of tuples and lists like a crazy baglady with all her possessions in a shopping cart, the benefits of encapsulating it all become clear.
Before: a luxury phone with crappy software. Now: a luxury phone with good software.

Sure. But the majority of countries in which Bitcoin would be realistically used don't have currencies that fluctuate so wildly.
Also as a feedback, I wouldn't offer the toolkit zip download as the only option to get the plugins--have separate links for them. Both on the announcement page and on Gabe's post I tried to click the Sublime Text plugin to get to a github page or something and see how you went about it.
Since you brought up OpenBSD- there is an example of an OS where so much time and effort was spent on security, the adoption was lower. It's a fine OS, but if you have to wait for years for the DoD to start promoting it and you don't have the consumer adoption that you have with Windows, OS X, and Linux, then I'm sorry but no.

That would be fine if it were voluntary. But you cannot opt out. If you try to opt out, you go to jail.

I didn't ask the government to do any of that for me, and I would prefer they didn't. I can't fix someones car without telling them, and then demand payment.

Our government has done a terrible job at infrastructure and I hardly find it unreasonable to believe that I should be allowed to hire people I choose for my needs.

If I wanted an exciting life full of collapsing bridges, sinkholes, and trigger happy police, I would gladly hire government. I'm dull though. I prefer things to work the way I expect them to, no surprises for me please.

You can do pretty much anything with default arguments, rather than overridable class methods. First class functions make this very flexible.

Sometimes this is a little inconvenient. I think the sign you really need a class is when you are sending in something called "object_type", and a dict of "object_type -> function".
January 2013: five Cisco vulnerabilities
They'll be flying off the shelves faster than you can say "Veblen good"
His conclusion is totally against the "the best interface is no interface" UI/X design idea. He goes:

> Interfaces are much more abstract, and much more intelligent; they far more closely resemble social interactions than physical tools.

...therefore if I (the user) feel that I have a social-like interaction with the interface, it means that I am definitely noticing it IS there, whereas if I can feel it as an extension of self, I can get more easily to just ignore it once I get used to it and actually feel that there is "no interface". It's easier to ignore the hammer in your hand the person you're talking to, at least for me (and I believe for most social people).

Then again, if you are creating something like the UI for an ecommerce site, you probably want to give the user part of the feeling that he is in a real shop, that implies a real physical interface, so you say "Your shopping cart" - but I'm not sure this is necessarily a good idea.

Imho, OP did a good analysis of the interaction perspective, but somehow managed to arrive at what is 90% of the time the wrong conclusion (but then again, maybe my 90% is his 10%...).
Not to belittle Ryan's contribution, but the vulnerability he found was used in the Stripe CTF, so I have to assume he was already familiar with it. I don't believe you could randomly pick up a piece of code, not knowing the language it's written in and find this sort of thing otherwise.

At the same time it's slightly shocking that no-one has greped Rails for this kind of well-known vulnerability before, never mind auditing for less obvious ones.

"Having a personality" is going to happen whatever you do.

Somewhat counterintuitively, this doesn't mean your interface pretends it's a person; but all copy is written by people -- words are used by people only (pretty much), directly or indirectly -- and the words chosen are projecting some personality onto the application whether you want to or not.

There are no words/phrases/instructions without baggage, connotations, etc..
