I totally understood your point. Besides a project can have several aspects. Somebody can have interest over your algorithms, others can have interest over your processed data. On the other hand, I don't think recipes are copyrighted. Actually I am not an expert on this matter but most of time, also you might realize that famous sites use copy-pasted or slightly changed materials. Inventing a recipe usually is not a case.

This is a very relevant question to the startup I'm involved with now. We just registered the business at the chamber of commerce yesterday: it's myself and one other person. Fact of the matter is that I'm going to be initially working on the startup part-time and my partner is thinking of going in full-time.

After giving it a lot of thought, we've decided to go with a 50-50 equity split and to differentiate on the basis of salary. Essentially, I've agreed to no salary for the first 12 months at the least, since I'm going to be paid well by my full-time job. My partner will take a salary to make ends meet in that period. We are both happy with this setup at the moment, but if anyone has any ideas of pitfalls that we should avoid, I'd love to hear from you.
Sure, there are problems everywhere, but you cannot compare the level of bullshit in the states. Just look at the statistics on Wikipedia, and the many documentaries on YouTube and newspaper articles on it.

Yeah if you're poor and vulnerable you're screwed anywhere in the capitalist world. But in the states you're screwed even if you are middle class (absurd bails) and have a good lawyer, because the government is so over its head that they will jail you with fabricated evidence and then give you no chance of justice.

True, the UK is not much better than the US. But otherwise many countries in Europe are incomparably safer. If not because of more reasonable justice systems, just because people are more laid back and sane here than in the states.

> If a tool is good, I'm probably not turning to the community much in the first place

Then there's no community, there's nothing shared and the tool ends up dying because there's only so much you can do on your own. See: the vast majority of lisps.
Tables are anything but responsive. Responsiveness is not about fluidly changing the width of elements. You can't for example change 3 column layout to 1 column with tables.

The only viable use of tables for layout is when you need to center something vertically. Even then it's better to skip using the tag and apply display: table; and display: table-cell; to respective elements.
Shut up. This snide comment isn't even cute.

The US is vastly better than many parts of the world and we get a disproportionate amount of attention on our ills because we're an economic powerhouse that does many things. The country is a collection of states that each have their boons and drawbacks.

Texas is near (or at) last in public education. Don't make public threats to kill children in a state that might not understand or care about sarcastic context.
The times when I'm unhappy, I often have no idea of the cause.

Why not add some optional questions that would drive more useful reporting if answered:

# Are you in a relationship? For how long?

# Do you have a job? Rate your performance 1-10

# Are you exercising? How often?

# Are you happy with your weight? What is your weight?

# Rate the healthiness of your diet.

# How well are you sleeping? How many hours?

There are so many more useful data points you could collect. If they're optional, and maybe hidden unless you enable them, it won't do much to over-complicate the app.

It would then be super useful for those who suffer from depression or other psychiatric illnesses, and problem solved re app store.
I'm going to go in the opposite direction of everybody here and tell you your app sucks (based on what you say about it) and Apple was right. Look at it this way - A developer creates an app that ask a daily question (maybe with a reminder) and then plots the answers on a graph. That developer then release 1,000 versions of that app to the app store by simply changing the question. That app should have been a general purpose app that lets you define your own questions/frequency/etc. All you've got right now is a question, that when asked daily creates some interesting data. You need to built an app around that. You have some actual features outlined in your roadmap, why not implement at least some of those and resubmit? Oh, and I went looking for feature listings, videos, philosophy, etc, or anything about your app on your website and I got nothing. The entire website about your app is a landing page and one page that is complaining about your rejection. If your app is currently so simple that it didn't even need a single webpage maybe Apple was right....
Until recently the Python community steered free from controversy...

What am I missing here? Is this just about version 3?
That's U.K.; for America at least, we have Prime instant video.
Definitely second petewarden's suggestions 'exercise' and 'get a hobby'. You do not have to join a gym or anything. Exercise can be something as simple as going walking for an hour with your iPod (or equivalent). No matter what the particular exercise, the fact is that it will usually get you out of your own head for awhile.

Aside from those I would suggest maybe reading Party of One [1] and/or Quiet [2], as they bring to light very well the fact that mainstream society unfairly and illogically looks down upon those who prefer aloneness. Being surrounded by laughing groups of sociable people has a way of making anyone not involved feel like they are missing out on something or that there is something wrong with them, when this might not be the case at all.

Props for such an honest post; and I hope you feel better soon.

They don't write code? Gavin Andresen is a founding member of the Bitcoin Foundation and the lead developer for the reference Bitcoin client. I'm pretty sure he also owns and operates Bitcoin.org, which has been the unofficial official homepage of Bitcoin for years.
I get the need to improve productivity but blind mandates suggest that something else is wrong.

At yet another employer they did a very well thought out layoff of approx 15% of the workforce. It was very well thought out and preceded by 6 months of heavy analysis on new ways to work. The culture was hurt but the firm saw process improvements too. Perhaps it was too easy as every time management needed to cut after that, they skipped the process improvement step.
>> As a design goal Python aims to be as little flexible as possible to enforce its design goal of making code readable at any and every cost.

I think that's a very narrow way of defining flexibility.

By your definition of flexibility, C++ must be really flexible because its template system is Turing Complete and you can do whatever you like!

By the same definition, Scheme must be a pretty inflexible language because its syntax is extremely limited (simple).

Python is flexible in that:

- it can be used in many different fields (because libraries exist for science, web -- you can find a library in Python for pretty much any task you can imagine).

- there a number of different implementations of the language to suit your needs (CPython, Pypy for speed, now Micropython for embedded). It is (somewhat) easily ported to other platforms (e.g. ARM, JVM, .NET).

- the language still allows you to do imperative, OO and to some degree functional programming. I don't think allowing Python to do everything under the Sun makes it "flexible".

- Python's dynamism (look at something like the library "sh"), ducktyping, keyword arguments make it flexible.

--

Final point: I think using Python 3's print statement as an example of Python being inflexible is dishonest. Python 3 had major internal changes made to it. The backward incompatible jump between 2 and 3 (AFAIK) was more a choice and a requirement. Guido has recently (just last year) said that he will never do anything like Python 2 -> Python 3 transition again.

Funnily enough, situations like this (and the various ethical issues) are the reason I decided to leave my law degree. I can't reconcile my own morals and ethics with the reality of the justice system.

That's how things work here in Brazil, some cities have 2 DSL providers or 2 cable providers. Big capitals may have both, and fiber. Also, there are a bunch o local radio providers.

It is way better for the consumer, as all of them suck and at least you can choose the least sucking one.

Telecom infrastructure is very different from electricity/gas/water/sewer infrastructure.

A Norwegian tourist was sentenced to seven years in prison in Arizona for accidentally running over some guy's foot with his car. The incident happened after he took a wrong turn onto a one-way street and was about to turn around, when he was crowded by a group of people at a nearby music festival, apparently angry with his traffic violation. One of them punched him in the face through the car window, upon which he sped off (accidentally running over a foot in the process).

The charge was assault with a lethal weapon (the car), the case went to trial and he was convicted. It's a circus.

[Edit: Turns out the guy was not a tourist. Here is the story, written right before the sentencing: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1002601538]

Ditto, though I think I have a unique element to my story.

I spent a week deleting code I couldn't detect a use for. I nuked nearly 40,000 lines and could not discern a difference in functionality (though, couldn't be certain since I hadn't completed the test suite.)

Writing a test suite for software with no spec and only others' vague recollections of meetings to go on (Agile!) is fun - it basically ends up a regression suite enforcing current broken behaviour.

Perl takes no part of the blame for this, some of the Rails code needs to be seen to be believed - looked like an early PHP tutorial in places.

I live in Alabama and it's a beautiful state. You are always within 6-8 hours of driving from a beach or mountains. The state undergoes three major geological changes as you go from North to South, leaving some really nice, natural scenery as a result. I'm originally from Huntsville, where the majority of rocket science was fostered and learned in America. I believe that there is an area in this region that holds the highest number of PhDs in the country. Huntsville is chock full of engineers and thus schooling tends to pride itself on its math and science curriculum - offering more opportunities because of sponsorships from local engineering firms like Boeing, NASA, Lockheed Martin, Adtran, and many more.

There's this trope that Alabama (and most of the South) is a fucked up, backwards, redneck, inbred place afraid of all things change, and that just isn't true. There are episodes of each of those things - just like in California or New York. It's nice getting off of work and playing basketball out in your driveway, then enjoying a beer with all of your neighbors outside as it turns from dusk to dark. Generally people are nicer here and I try my best to be as well.

I think Alabama's a great state to live in. I also think people give in to regional stereotypes way more than they should.

>Are you saying it is not possible to both be good at programming and have a good understanding of the business?

No, I'm saying that what's merely possible doesn't matter, it's whats possible AND probable that's important.

That is, don't aspire to be THE exception that's excellent at both, first try to be adequate at both. This way, excellence at either or both, if it ever cames, won't have left you crippled at the other skill. Plus, it might never come anyway, in which case being adequate can get you a long way itself.

Also, my dichotomy (and what the original article talks about) doesn't concern merely "being good at programming", but about being preoccupied with excellence at programming -- the perfect architecture, masterful application of design patterns etc.

I've been to an Africa country. A friend was almost robbed by a member of an ethnic minority. The police brought the suspect in, beat the crap out of him until he confessed.

Templating solutions such as Mustache and Handlebars falls short when the need to add intelligence to the template. In such cases, the template needs to extended with helper functions, which leads to scattered templating.

Another way to implement smart templates is to use XSLT, which is both standardized as well as longtime proven. XSLT is used commonly used with XML but with DefiantJS, it's trivial to transform JSON structures with XSL (additionally, it's possible to search JSON structures with XPath queries using this lib; http://defiantjs.com/#xpath_evaluator).
Surely that would trigger a Sherman prosecution.
