Nor will python. Python is dynamically typed. It may not be impossible to write big functioning python apps, but it's damn hard.

And specifically, it's a lot harder than doing it in java or C++. I've seen C++ codebases that exceed 8 million lines of code and held together (not without friction, that I guarantee). I've seen java codebases with about half that that held together a lot better than the C++ ones.

Even accounting for the fact that python easily lets you achieve 5 times as much in the same amount of lines (at the cost, imho, of more surprises when wrong types get passed to your functions). I'm not sure "normal python" is more than a little bit more succint than (good) C++ though. Easier to read, sure, if you're allowed to make assumptions about types. But not that much shorter.

I've yet to see the first million line python codebase. And python has certainly had sufficient time to develop such codebases. Why aren't they here already ? Those C++ codebases were almost operating systems though (with extremely tricky threading support libraries, every project it's own of course), something you fundamentally can't do in python. The java codebases were financial stuff though, something that could easily be done in python, and they certainly have the money to absorb the increased hardware cost, and looking to have faster development turnaround. That's another discussion I can guarantee you will have with your boss if your app really grows, the hardware cost. When it comes right down to it, a programmer is worth (rule of thumb) about 15 servers. If python means one less programmer, but 50 extra servers, you will lose that discussion with your boss.

Dynamic typing is certainly a massive advantage for small codebases. It becomes more and more of a disaster on larger ones though. So an IDE for python ... it merely lets you lose the battle with your code that much faster.

Yes, it is. Myself, and a small group of enthusiasts developed the service.

We launched in 2011, with the idea that the hearing impaired could use the service to access a great source of realtime information - television.

The hearing impaired could now objectively access and review online the quality of captions delivered by broadcasters.

Since then, it has grown into a useful resource for everyone.

One of the biggest benefits, we believe, is that our service raises the awareness of captioning to others who haven’t traditionally relied on it.

For those technically minded, it's a client-server model built with custom client hardware. Currently, we're only streaming Australian channels, however, there's scope to plug in any terrestrial broadcast, and feed it into TVeeder.

There's a REST API too.

For VERY small use cases I would recommend a VPS, however because you're suggesting that you want a lot of storage then I would recommend at least a dedicated server but I would keep buying your own hardware in the back of your mind. I'll talk about this below.

VPS: If you're suggesting hosting a few websites and a small amount of email then a VPS is fine. Prometeus is my favourite for reliability and price. However bare in mind that with a VPS you're host can look into your files whenever they like (mounting the image/device if Xen/KVM) and just entering your container if it's OpenVZ. So for sensitive data I don't recommend a VPS. Also you may be put under restrictions if you max out your CPU and memory usage for long periods of time.

Dedicated Server: This is good for large storage and if you want unrestricted CPU and memory usage. You can obviously virtualize your own servers onto this and you can also run Windows and Linux (+ OS X). This has all the benefits of having your own physical box/colocation plus you get free hardware replacements.

Own hardware: If you're happy with just relying on your network connection then you can host it at home with a small quarter rack and just put a rack mount server in there. There are some benefits with this. If you're just torrenting, hosting email and a light web server or even just for testing you can get an old server off eBay or craigslist for next-to-nothing and you have the benefits of owning the hardware and putting in as many HDDs as you like. If you're coloing then you also get a very good network connection and reliable uptime, and a public-facing IP address. Oh and having your own physical hardware is cool, and colocation is even more cool and fun to do!

> Priceline is buying a company that seats over 15 million diners per month across more than 31,000 restaurants via online bookings.

Nice example of how to scale a business: if you average 450 bookings over a relatively small number of restaurants (31,000) montly, so that's 15 bookings per restaurant per day your business is worth billions of dollars.

Lead generation is serious income, and serious exits too.

New To Big Data? Start Benchmarking
I would fall into your latter camp, being self-taugh. I started with the interpreted languages JS, Ruby and Python and, in the end, I didn't feel like I understood what I was doing until I got into C and even Objective-C. Therefore, it wasn't until I touched a pointer or dealt with memory management that I felt like I was really more than a coder.

Not everyone wants to learn C, or C++ for that matter, but at least taking the time to understand I/O and (in my case) POSIX systems goes a long way to writing better programs - even if they are just in Python.
That's pretty awesome. Thank you for stepping up to work on this.

Well, it does not work in bigger cities as well except NYC, Chicago and to some extent Boston. Also, OP talks about SF, which for it's size and population can have a good public transport system.

United We Brand – Rebranding Our States
It depends how you mean "better". They could be run in their own copy of a Windows environment which meant one falling over couldn't kill the rest, and they all integrated with the same global clipboard and such so copy+paste and DDE still worked between them, but IIRC there was a massive memory overhead for this which made it impractical for smaller machines.
We have 8 people. That's $800 for license. Which by no means is crazy, but using atlassian products we're a little spoiled. You are right though. It would be very short sighted to say that's not worth the money.

Wishful thinking: We'd be willing to pay a higher price in the future since that would mean more pizza money for us now

In another startup that I was a part of, we were more than happy to pay the significantly higher price for Atlassian products once we grew past the 10 people limit.

(Disclaimer: I'm the author of Mithril)

IMHO, Vue is a very interesting project and I think this particular article is a very good fit to show its strengths, but I think my comment (at the bottom of the article) still applies to it. For example, it's not particularly obvious how to change a binding to use the blur or the change event, without scouring the documentation. Or that `v-model` and `computed` and `$get` and `$set` are the names of the things that, in conjunction, do what you want in this particular case.

In that sense, the Mithril code is more straightforward to write and to control, because the abstractions that it provides complement - rather than replace - a naive implementer's workflow. This is the aspect that I believe eddyystop is talking about.
I've always wondered if this is a sensible way to buy shares. Say I wanted to buy Google shares in the next 30 days. I could monitor the price for the first 36.8%, and then choose the best price in the remainder. Does that make sense as a strategy?
I think the curse alludes to the fact that no one tutorial does a good job at explaining monads, or they rarely do.

> Both Ritalin and Adderall are dopamine reuptake inhibitors.

Methylphendiate (Ritalin) is a dopamine reuptake inhibitor, to be certain: it binds to and blocks both dopamine and norepinephrine reputake inhibitors. It's thought to increase neuron firing rate, but that mechanism of action is unknown.

Adderal, however, is a mixture of dextroamphetamine and levoamphetamine salts. They stop reuptake of the two monoamines not by blocking the transports, but by reversing their action. Instead of taking up dopamine and norepinephrine, they pump it out. It also stimulates the release of the monoamines from the synaptic vesicles into the intracellular membrane.

Ritalin causes dopamine and norepinephrine to stick around longer, making their action last longer. It's like closing a drain half way with the faucet on medium: the water level rises more than typical, but no higher.

Adderal causes them to flood the intracellular fluid. It's like turning the faucet on while flood waters are coming up the drain pipe.
The author has a point: some companies affirm themselves as society problem solvers that will disrupt the (harmful) status quo. But most of the times they don't solve the core problems (in this particular case, public transportation), they only solve where there is a profit to be made. This is capitalism, for the good and for the bad.

The author probably is inflammed because of his (South) European point of view, he is Spanish as I can understand, where there is a soft Capitalism that sometimes (or most of the time) shock with the raw capitalism he found in US.
Our politics are left wing oriented (I'm also south European): US Center-Left (Democrats) are equivalent to Center-Right in Portugal for example.

Besides the usual scaling they'll get from the larger org and cross marketing (e.g. I'm guessing people who book with OpenTable travel more than the average person), imagine Priceline combining its "name your own price" concept with OpenTable's inventory of restaurants to offer prix fixe meals. Pick an area of town, a type of food, headcount, and a max price and they match you with a restaurant that can accommodate.

Not sure if it's a workable idea (I honestly can't see myself ever using it) but it's an interesting angle to think about.

Ask HN: Best Messaging Platform with Presence Awareness?
My team is scattered throughout two offices and several telecommuters. I've been trying to figure out what the "best" chat platform to use for us would be. I'm not sure how others handle real-time communication, but in ours lag time of not knowing if someone is at their desk to answer a question causes a few problems for us.

These seem to be the points that no one platform seems to have:

* Contact List - An at-a-glance list of all everyone instead of the new Hangouts/iMessage format

* Active/Idle/Away - Presence awareness based on computer activity (webapps like Slack rely on window activity) so we know when someone is at their desk as opposed to off-site

* Idle/Away doesn't break when people have the mobile version installed on their smartphones. Skype is the biggest offender in this category.

* Group Chat - It should work for everyone

* Cross platform - We have Macs, Windows, and Linux users. Smartphone app would also be great.

What are others using, does anything out there get close to what I'm asking for? Or am I tilting windmills?

They could also grow by diverging from just tables (possibly requiring a name change) to include other reservation types such as spas, hair cuts/colors, etc.

They could keep the "table" name if table is thought of in a more abstract way, such as an open spot in a reservation table/chart/spreadsheet.
I think you're misunderstanding jtheory. It's not about whether it's native or not - it's about using each platform's idioms and peculiarities which don't exist in other platforms. There isn't a 1-to-1 mapping between iOS UI elements and Android UI Elements. What do you do then?

The Android Spinner is an example: http://developer.android.com/design/building-blocks/spinners...

There is no alternative in iOS, but if you don't use it in your Android app you are missing out, because people on that platform expect it and know it.

What about Back buttons in iOS? You don't need them in Android. If you are developing a cross-platform UI without using these elements, you are probably compromising the UX of your app.

I am very interested in how those problems are solved. Will try and play around with it.

I was slightly mistaken, because I missed how the error type was put last in all of those Results. In Haskell, the error type is typically written first (Either MyError x), because since `Either a` is an instance of monad, we can replace `Either a` with `m` and get

bind :: (a -> m b) -> m a -> m b

Which is exactly the signature of (=<<). So you don't just get a cleaner syntax; you now have the ability to use `bind` with any monad (Maybe, List, IO, State...).

I meant barehanded is "worse" in terms of it being easier to break the tiny bones in your hands. Even if you strengthen your fists over years, they're still weaker than other body parts you could strike with. The skull is a lot more difficult to break (unless you hit the temple and your knuckles are calcified as fuck)

All the rest of your descriptions of fighting are based on the evolution of martial arts or a skilled practitioner. What i'm talking about is people who have zero formal training, save for perhaps getting in lots of fights. You seem to overlook the rest of what I wrote, where I describe how people are not built for straight-line strikes, how animals might kick with their hind legs but we don't find that to be natural, how kicks are more difficult to use against higher vulnerable targets, etc. We're basically agreeing, but with different words :)

I don't know why anyone goes for the ribs with a roundhouse if it can just be checked with shins or forearms (and takes more energy for the kicker). If you just make repeated blows to the IT band, even if they can stand the pain, very soon they won't be able to stand on that leg. Same for hooks to the radial so they can't lift their guard or keep their wrist straight. Close fighting is also a bit silly in terms of natural/practical fights; if you're close enough to connect with an elbow, you might as well go for the eyes or throat or work around to a rear naked choke, or something.
Almost nobody needs to do that.

If you're trying to lose weight, it's easier to just drink water. Then you know what your drinking, and how many calories it has (none!).

If you're trying to limit caffeine, you don't need a fucking sensor cup to tell you how many cups of coffee you had. Because most people can count the number of cups they've had on their fingers. Counting on your fingers is a lot easier than lugging a $99 dollar cup everywhere you go.

And that's pretty much the only reasons you'd need to watch what you drink. Lets cut the shit. This product is for people interested in "quantified self." People who think they can derive useful insights from looking at 3 years worth of their own toenail clippings. Hey, different strokes for different folks, but I doubt you can learn something from measuring your drinking that you didn't already know (Oh hey, I drink more wine when I'm sad... and soda makes me gain weight! I'm so glad I obsessively poured all my drinks into a $99 electronic cup).

Yes, I read it - I was rather hoping no one else would, it seemed just about plausible enough to be convincing.
This is actually pretty spectacular, but it would be really nice if it searched at least the geographic TLDs.
I was wondering when OpenTable would be bought up. They were kind of under the radar versus other big name companies (Uber, Snapchat, etc...) yet they supply a widely used and profitable service.

I believe Priceline's global reach will help OpenTable extend past the US market. The service is great!
