Well, yes, I agree. I don't know what the largest python code bases are, but I would not expect them to get to the size of some of the really big systems written in strongly-typed system-level programming languages like C or C++. However, I would also suggest that the need for huge code bases like that is diminishing. Much of what we build now consists of smaller bodies of code, sitting at the end of a service pipeline, or collaborating in a distributed system. Python works very well in scenarios such as implementing API endpoints which are really glue between layers anyway. And it's certainly been shown that significant applications can be written in it. But if you're facing something that is Department of Defense-sized, maybe it's not the right choice.
Yes, it did when I read the posting, but is that live audio commentary transcribed or live text commentary?

I think realtime-transcribed live audio commentary would be more timely and lively :) though also harder to do I guess. In either case it's a great service.

Edit: it apparently IS computer-generated live audio! Amazing :)

There are some syncing services between radio and streaming - for example here in Uruguay we like the local radio commentary, and so do the Brazilians and Argentineans, we might watch a match on tv with the sound turned off and radio turned on.
It is not necessarily a contradiction as long as you accept the existence of two different ways of ranking outcomes: one for desirability and one for decision-making. When a cake is being shared I may want to eat the whole cake alone, but I may still offer you half the cake out of a sense of fairness. For the predictions of game theory it is the decision-making ranking and not the desirability one which enters into payoffs.

If you deny the meaningfulness of talking about different ways of ranking then of course any notion of altruism becomes self-contradictory: "He gains enjoyment by starving himself to feed the poor, that's why he does it." But in practice we distinguish between masochists and saints.

Helping others may help you survive if selfish people are ostracized by others (as seem to happen in human societies) or if a good turn today entitles you to a good turn tomorrow. But the evolutionary theory of altruism is not something I understand very well. My only point was that contrary to what the OP suggests, the formal techniques of game theory such as Nash equilibrium are agnostic with respect to nature of payoffs. And both casual observation and systematic experiments in economics show that many humans act out of a sense of fairness and expect fairness from others even when interacting with strangers.

First, an on-topic comment just so my post isn't completely pointless... My niece was stung in the foot by a jellyfish north of LA. I had read that rinsing with freshwater will cause more poison to be released, and thus more pain. I had also read that you can rinse it with urine but I wasn't about to pee on my niece in public or in private. Seawater and sand seemed to work.

Off-topic - what's with the style of writing in that article? I've seen more and more articles written in that voice - attempts at lame humor with aside statements, mixing an interesting article with the voice of a high schooler. Has Wired always been like this? I don't read them, but I thought that their target audience was relatively educated tech people.

How do they determine the property is the result of illegal activity if the owner of the property has yet to be convicted of illegal activity?

That way of thinking opens up our current problems of police seizing everything within grasp during an arrest or traffic stop claiming the property is the result of illegal activity. "Hello, I pulled you over because it's late at night and I'm wondering if you're okay. Oh, you happen to have $10,000 in cash on hand? Drug money, I'll take that."

If this is the way the law is being interpreted then we gave up property rights a long time ago.
That's great, an enjoyable and inspiring read. Can you - or another reader - recommend a resource that's perhaps just a little more advanced though, please? What's the next step after formalising the language used, understanding connectivity and path traversal ... perhaps, what would the subheadings of a follow up lesson to this be?

I'm not asking to be spoonfed, really!, there are just so many resources on the web and shooting off I tend to get lost in Wikipedia and drift around too much without getting a reasonably rigorous overview.
You can get a VPS for the playing around stuff, but storage is very expensive. For that I would recommend to get something like a Synology/Qnap/Drobo and ask to stick it in the basement of a friend. Unless you constantly load stuff on and off it they will hardly notice that it's there.

How To Make Sure No One Ever Downloads Your App

I bought my first external battery this week (Anker Astro Mini 0 http://www.ianker.com/product/79AN3K-BA). It's already saved me twice this week and for €20 I'm amazed I hadn't bought one earlier. I just throw it in my bag before I go anywhere. At worst, you put both the phone and charger in your pocket while charging and continue to use your phone. All this said, I don't think I'd buy a battery case. I have a great case (Ringke Fusion) on my Nexus 4 and I was very picky when choosing it, making sure not to compromise the aesthetic, thickness or weight.

I think, Italian? if you switch the language specified in the url from 'it' to 'en' you get English, and I imagine 'it' stands for Italian.
If you're familiar with the psychological phenomenon known as priming, that may help help to explain the situation. For someone who's suffered through a few too many many blog posts that explain monads poorly, it is possible that simply mentioning the m-word, even in the very last sentence of the article, may inhibit their ability to comprehend the process. Because of that, there's a certain genius to the article's approach: Give folks who've been struggling with monads and arrows the best possible chance to grasp the concept without being encumbered by all the baggage that has built up around the terminology. If they do get the concept, great, and they're virtually guaranteed to realize shortly afterward, "Oh hey, forehead smack, those are monads!"

(Incidentally, for people who've found themselves thrust into this unfortunate situation, a chapter titled A Fistful of Monads probably isn't likely to help much.)

To that end, I'd even go so far as to say your worries about that last bullet point underestimate the audience's ability to understand new concepts when properly explained much worse than the author did.

First, take a bit of it (5-10k) and blow it on the crap you always wanted. Enjoy life. It's interesting how quickly you tire of buying expensive things. Good to learn this lesson early.

Then:

Education - despite grumblings about rising cost and legends of the Silicon Valley dropout billionaires, a degree still leads to earning an additional $1m+ over your career and provides a good foundation. Getting an education and leaving without debt will put you in a really strong position compared to your peers, who will be weighed down with student loan debt for decades.

Housing - Depending on where you are, put 20% down on a 30-year fixed mortgage on a modest but nice house (average for the area). If you move, you can rent it out. The bulk of household wealth is in primary residences. This will put you decades ahead of your peers, who due to student loan debt will be unlikely to be able to purchase homes until well into their 30s.

Mutual funds - Mutual funds allow you to match growth in the stock market. You are young so can put money into the aggressive funds which may even beat it, but don't worry too much about beating the market, even pros have a poor track record at that. Just put the rest into a mutual fund and forget about it. Read about Compound Interest to find out why.

Thing is, 100k isn't a lot (even if it seems like it now) and you probably don't have enough to do all of the above. But, it can create a great foundation that will allow you to take great risks (starting companies, speculating in real estate/stock market) if you want to, or a steady path to continue down.
It's not, but allowing it is easier for politicians than raising taxes to pay for all the policing that the voters want.
I remember watching a match during a strike of announcers in Italy, where announcers are supposedly very knowledgeable about soccer.

It was one of my best experiences in soccer ever, beat only by when I started using my radio to listen to a group of comedians commentary.
Feels undeserved. I've really been hoping a competitor would come in and beat them. OpenTable, until very recently, had a Gingerbread style app on Android.
Also, a normal distribution would help, so you don't encounter values way off that would skew the results.
> Not sure if it's a workable idea

This was the first thing I thought of. I do think there might be a challenge convincing people that they should lock themselves into a restaurant (assuming it works the same way as with hotels) though.
That's awesome. I'm glad they (and their bank) remember this "technology" exists.

The article blithely describes the "best" strategy, without defining "best." I believe the strategy is only best in the sense of giving the highest probability of ending up with the best candidate--so the second best candidate is considered as bad as the worst.
What I am saying is not a solution to your problem but have you considered suing the organization that did not pay your dad for 7 months? It won't help him get a job but I think it is quite unfair that the organization which profited immensely from his hard unpaid labour should be allowed to walk away. I am assuming of course that being involved in a lawsuit would not lower is his prospects of finding a job.

This has been proposed before in other situations. For example, the Mt. Gox coins were proposed to either be "destroyed" or sent back to their purchasers with a blockchain update.

This introduces serious problems with the question of "who is everyone" (when you say, agreed upon by everyone). In other words, is the community going to set up a centralized board to hear complaints and reverse transactions? Does this turn into "I bought a trinket on ebay and the guy didn't send me the thing, reverse the transaction"?

Part of the strength of bitcoin is a permanent historical record. There's been some suggestion that the true long-term benefit of bitcoin is not in the "money" part, but the blockchain itself. As soon as the blockchain becomes mutable, then this value becomes suspect, and the line for "how bad does it have to be before we edit the blockchain" might get weaker and weaker.

I wouldn't want my e-commerce store to fulfill orders for a compromised account without talking & confirming some key details with the customer. This HN post is testament to some funky ordering going on.

My experience has been positive with Amazon and there has been situations where they've gone out of their way to make the customer happy. I'm fairly confident that a situation like yours can be resolved with Amazon over phone.
Somehow I doubt that's how it works, or at least I really hope it doesn't work that way. The government seizes something and attempts to sell it off before identifying who it belongs to? Sure, sounds the right way to handle things.
Thanks for pointing out the error. I'll pay closer attention next time I use it. :)
Totally. You can start with non-violent communications: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonviolent_Communication, and then check out the HBR slick they just put out on Emotional Intellegence. Basically you listen to people, repeat what they said, repeat how they felt about it (only if they actually told you verbally or non-verbally), and tell them you hear them.

Notice the vote down I got. Heaven forbid anyone bring up emotions here. <--- blaming statement.
Usually I'd recommend OVH's budget line called Kimsufi [0] but unfortunately they completely split it off the OVH brand a few months ago which means there's no support mail/ticket support any more. Just a forum [1] which two mostly absent OVH support people are supposed to deal with customer support (You don't have a private way of contacting them, you just have to post your nick handle/order number and hope they'll stumble upon it.

To get a better picture of how low budget their whole operation is: It's currently impossible to download PDF invoices. They are working on a fix since February 2014 now. [3]

They also say it'll be ready to go in 120 seconds (according to their order page), what they don't tell you is that you have to go through "verification" which takes about 3 weeks (You have to scan some documents, utility bill,...). Once you are verified you are allowed to order (It's possible to order before and then your order is stuck. But that's another story.)

I actually ordered two servers a month ago and the order is still "processing" and the other one is "processing payment" (Which is apparently a manual process).

So if you actually want storage and a decent powered server I'd suggest to look elsewhere or try their higher priced lines [2]. (Apparently they come with support).

The good thing about OVH is that they offer a lot of linux images out of the box.

It's also worth nothing that some ~90% of the Priceline group's revenue (iirc) is booked through Booking.com, which is one of the top travel sites in the world (and remarkably unknown in the US). Not everything Priceline does is the "name your own price" gig.

I can't speak to their Android app, but as a customer, I've always been very satisfied with OpenTable. To the degree that I'm now annoyed if I want to get a reservation at a restaurant that doesn't support it. I believe from the restaurant owners' sides, there are some pretty legitimate complaints, though.
Groupon may not have lived up to the hype, but they're still putting millions of people in restaurants each year. And part of the reason they didn't live up to the hype is because their deals are a lot better for the merchant now (70% of revenue going to the merchant instead of 50%).

There is a definitely model and need for filling empty seats at a restaurant. It just has to be done profitably over the variable costs of food (significant) and additional labor (much less significant).
the current categories are too overbroad and unfocused.

OK. Then how do they narrow it down? Remember that they're not targeting any one narrow demographic, and don't necessarily have any demographic data on a brand new user.
I like this article, and I love Krulwich & Radiolab. Its a lesson in statistics and not in marriage though, just in case you weren't sure. So just for fun, my inner monologue while reading...

Now that's love. "Honey, you were better than the 37% of women I was going to try. It is statistically likely that you're probably the best, or at least second best, of all my immediately available options. Will you marry me?"

I'm somewhat amused that the conclusion is to date (sample) for a while, then start getting serious once you get an idea of what you want. Sounds a lot like what everyone does already, at least the ones whose marriages aren't arranged for them.

Kepler got what he wanted and sampled 100% of his options. He didn't get a statistically likely "Right Girl", he got "The Right Girl", and he never wondered whether or not he got the best one.
The writing style reminds me a lot of sites like damninteresting.com.
OpenTable has no effective competitors (for now?) - they'll be making this many bookings for the foreseeable future. That's $14 per booking... divided by how many years you think OpenTable will continue to hold the reservation throne.

Considering that they don't really have a real competitor right now, even if the OpenTable killer is being worked on right now, it'll be a while yet before they actually threaten OpenTable's numbers.
This is great for me, I've just rebuilt my Android phone without GAPPS as an ongoing effort to minimise my reliance on Google. The Twitter app does what it says on the tin. Looking forward to the Facebook app supporting Android too. I've always used simple bookmarks for these two services anyway (because why should their Play Store apps need all those permissions?) so the performance hit isn't something I'm bothered about.

I thought the questioning at about 45 minutes in about the cost of space launches (and the subsidies) was good, as well as the answer from Michael Gass.
I think the volatility of the stock market adds extra complexity. Presuming you go on dates with 36.8% of your pool, you will have an idea of what you would like in a woman, and from there you can make a proper selection. But with the stock market, you can watch 36.8% of the time, see a rising trend, think it's a good choice, and be totally wrong five days later when their quarterly earnings come out.

I think you'd want better heuristics for investing in the stock market than observing a bit of time (unless, apparently, you're a HFT algorithm ;-)).
Seems dubious given the other half of the line. The author wrote "the springs of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened". Did they mean "it rained, and also it rained"?
I'm on T-Mobile in the US, been swapping a SIM card between an Android daily driver and an FxOS dev phone for months now. Works fine.
Couldn't this be applied to startup ideas? Say you have savings to last you 12 months. Try one startup idea (/MVP) every month for 12/e = 4 months. Then keep going producing 1 MVP per month until you find one that looks more promising than the best of the first four. If the article is right then with a probability of 36.8% you will have found the best idea with some time to spare in your 12 months to make some money with it. No?
I began as self-taugh like you, but I went from Basic to Assembler in 1 year. I gained a lot by understanding what the compiler was trying to make work, so I agree with you that understanding of lower levels goes a long way into what you produce at a higher level

Then I went to college, and math forced in me a more abstract thinking. I had to make it work in my head, because writing the symbols will not make sense if I could not conceptualize it first. I honestly hated differential equations, but in retrospective, it help me a lot to write functions that create new functions in return, and this is in C# (I don't like the mess that C++ became, but I respect other people that do)
