Onarbor treats works and reviews the same. Both can be funded and voted on. This is like the HHMI-founded journal, eLife, or several other modern academic journals. Enabling fundable reviews is done to reward high quality reviewing and because we realize not everyone is a creator. Therefore, we wanted to offer more ways to participate in the network. Also, commenting threads are organized by review, which are tied to individual works. Our model for commenting on reviews is Github repositories and issue tracking:

I jumped on board early when I received an invite. I despised FB and was looking for for something that might actually resemble the tribe.net model of freedom and anonymity.

Unfortunately, I was told that I had to use my real name and signed up accordingly.

Everything was going along fine for about the first 9 months until I got into a small flame war with a woman in Canada about Scientologists (I used to work for some). That turned out to be the end of G+ for me.

It seems that the woman reported me for using a pseudonym, which to me and a few of my friends I obviously wasn't. I was livid! I immediately protested loud and clear in my timeline. One of my "hooped" IRL friends works at Yahoo! and told me that he had good connections at Google and could probably fix it for me. And that if he couldn't do that that he could at least vouch for me.

As he was trying to work his magic the pressure from Google was getting stronger. I had a big notice across my profile telling me that if I didn't provide legal proof of who I was that my account would be suspended in a week. I received the same threats in my gmail. So I started trying to work with them on this matter only to find that I was dealing with bots. I was beyond frustrated!

A few days later my friend came back to me and told me that there didn't seem to be much that he could do. I sure as hell didn't want to send them my my ID or birth certificate! So I caved in, scanned a court document with my full name on it and a judge's signature, and gmail'd it it.

I should mention that by this point Google had decided to lock my profile and place a huge notice across it demanding documents.

It took almost a full 2 weeks for them to get back to me and say that my document was legit. Well, duh!!

With my new found "legal" status I continued to use G+ for about another year or so. But as time marched on I became more and more disillusioned with Google and their products and interacted less and less with G+.

Then June 5th 2013 happened and I was introduced to the world of Edward Snowden. I immediately went and deleted everything from my profile and timeline (no small chore!). I then put a notice on my "about" page stating that due to privacy issues with Google and the NSA that this account is no longer active.

I now only use my gmail account, have been a happy DDG and IXquick user since before this all went down, and haven't been back to G+ since.
Interesting Facts about Spiral Galaxy
>What made Google special in the past was having principles and walking the talk.

Principles? BS. What made Google special in the past was it started as an underdog (back in the day) and wanted to get people to get to using it (not just for search, but for several products it unveilled, to expand their fall-back options).

After it got people by the balls with Search, Gmail and Android, it's "so long, suckers".
I was surprised to see stack-check preambles mentioned here. Does that really happen on every function call? Or does it happen on a context switch? Usually stack-checking on function entry is considered something that makes code slow.

Accuracy aside. What do you you if you need to look at your keyboard to find an unfamiliar symbol. I can touch-type fairly fast but my error rate goes up dramatically when typing non-alphabet keys.

What would be neat is if you could bring up the tablet keyboard through a gesture, like clapping your palms together, select the unfamiliar symbol, gesture to remove the keyboard then continue.

Although I like the idea of something like this, I can't imagine myself using it for a long period of time.

I am not sure there is a generic answer to your inquiry. If you want to understand python itself you would be best off checking out the source code, building it yourself and then try to change some language features for fun.

Other than that I'd recommend that you find a domain you are particularily interested in and get some books on the specific aspects of that, for example Python for Data Analysis. http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920023784.do

This allows you to focus on what to do with python and the eco system of frameworks and so on.

If you want to learn how to use Python effectively, I believe you should decide what domain to apply it in. Python is no end in itself, as is the case with most other tools...

I disagree. Facebook forces changes upon users all the time, with success. For example, the news feed was suddenly forced on everyone, even amid much protest. The difference between FB and Google+ is that most users end up liking FB's changes, whereas that can't be said of Google+.
>Now that I am actively seeking out people and deliberately spending time with them, the one thing I consistently find is that they are very reluctant to initiate conversations about these things.

This feels racy, and I'm not sure it will work on multi-node NUMA architectures. It's one thing to delay and hope that your write is visible in the local processor cache; it's another to ensure that write is visible to other processor nodes, when there's no explicit cache coherence rule that says it will be.
I think many of the policies that have been changed towards the usage of a real name are intrusive to privacy, but I have no pity on people who require privacy and lose it after willingly continuing to use a service that is known to conduct such practices.

Does adding Generics heavy code move the needle in Java's favor?

As a Scala developer your comment just jumped out at me because even doing a lot of Akka this past week, there's hardly a line of code that doesn't instantiate or manipulate a Generic.

Just curious. I'm sure Go will get faster. I'm sure it's better suited to certain problems (memory constrained especially).

"Treading in Python, Vol. 2" by Harrison goes pretty in-depth with the usual suspects -- iterators, generators, decorators, dunder methods, etc. Then Knupp's "Idiomatic Python" is handy to review for tips and tricks.

>So your telling me... That someone with an analytical mind like Turing's... just decided to go waste some money on a fortune teller (because it's not like they're bullshit artists or anything)... while on a sudden, random trip to the sea shore...

While your explanation might also be plausible, you'd be surprised.

If you know people well, you'll find out that a perfect "analytical mind" is not at all incombatible with believing a fortune teller or even more bizarre things.

People can open and shut such "analytical" capacities at will and sort of compartmentalize their lives.

Heck, I know several of extremely analytical people, in hard sciences even, that in their personal lives border on hysteria or take note of such things as omens (sometimes laughingly, but you can see it still disturbs them).

And to get to the other side, people like Randi or Sagan are not totally sceptic because of their analytical minds. It's rather because of their life-long tendency to be sceptic, a tendency that's based on a subconscious decision (e.g it's not really a "rational" choice itself). That's why they are not just sceptic, but passionate about it.
For interested sake what do you think Google and the NSA would have been able to get out of G+, that they can not get out of email?

Well, the parent post is not exactly an example of objectivity too. I agree that dynamic typing can be a useful tool. I am likely to use both in any n-tier project and benefit from that.
I was not being sarcastic.

If you already know PHP you should really check out frameworks like Symfony and Laravel (and Symfony Components, amazing reusable pieces to grow your own stuff). Also great tools like Composer for dependency management, PHPUnit, Behat, PHPSpec or Codeception for TDD/BDD. Same with ORMs like Doctrine or the Twig templating engine.

PHP has evolved greatly in the last years. There are tools for most of your needs and you can build stable and robust applications with them, and be excited about the future now that we are seeing efforts like HHVM or HippyVM, or even the internal changes being discussed for PHP 6.

You don't need a new "better" language to make new better products. PHP allows you to write perfectly nice, object oriented, clean code, no problem at all, that integrates easily with proven technologies. It also allows you to write a mess impossible to maintain. If somebody does the later when they can do the former with no extra effort, well, then maybe it's fair to question if that person is a good programmer at all.

Project idea: start another one of these sealed gardens, but also include various sensors within the bottle/compartment (CO2, CH4, O2, temperature, humidity, pressure, whatnot; but also light levels.)

They can be pretty small and made to fit in nicely. The cheapest way to power them would probably be to use a simple coated electrical cable (through a layer of wax, or through something less leaky), I suppose.

Having them relay data in some fashion while having all the electronics not be exposed to erosion/etc might be a bit tricky.. ideally, just the actual sensor surfaces themselves would reside within; coated wires would all go through the seal, etc. Or, the devices could be (not very easily) shielded, and just the sensor surfaces be exposed..

Of course the most fun way to do this would be to have a whole self-sustaining arduino/whatever running inside, relaying data wirelessly, and having it be powered by small solar panels (would still need to take care of erosion/etc.)

Collect all data, plot it (including the light levels), and see if you can make anything out of it. :)

edit actually, I can now imagine a really large aquarium, with not much light passing into the very middle; for mostly entertainment purposes, it would be nice to also be able to place a cheapo camera there which could take (infrequent, like once every 5min or 20min) timelapses. Another camera with IR lens if needed, for neat composite images.. etc etc. Not sure of possible scientific value re: the latter, but hey!

Actually, you can't, and your post is a bit rediculous.

For "features of websites that are widely used", how many of them are part of youtube crying videos? Probably ~0.0001% and it certainly could be useful to call one out.
At least half of these things are either examples of good design or neutral. That said, there isn't a single language for which I wouldn't be able to produce a laundry list of "bad design" that's equally as long and disturbing as this one.

Insulting PHP developers and their work is certainly not the best way to "hurt" people's "opinion of PHP." It's a great way to come off as a pompous asshole, however.
