"The challenge is to get more people to pick up an instrument, work on a new project, learn something new in their free time instead of starting at a television."

This is indeed an interesting challenge and one I've tackled for myself over the past year or so. For me the primary distractions are games and Reddit (although I've definitely gotten quite a bit of education and professional insights from Reddit so its not all bad).

As a huge gamer growing up, I didn't think anything about unwinding by playing video games. I never in a million years thought I'd see a day where they lost a lot of their appeal, but the F2P shift has definitely accelerated that. I think it stems from the fact that I'm now significantly aware of the various hooks that go into a game to extract more money or keep me playing longer. It just killed some of the appeal. Of course, I still sunk 3-4 hours into Mount & Blade: Warband multiplayer last night, and find that round-based multiplayer games without microtransactions still hold great appeal to me.

Ultimately though, as I grow older I find myself saying "it's ok if I want to play a game now to relax, but I need to be aware that it is a conscious tradeoff between doing something fun and mindless, and doing something less fun and productive." Trying to teach myself how to code is hard work, and so it is a real mental battle for me to make myself do that sometimes, but will pay dividends down the line as I develop a new skill and gain more technical knowledge.

At the end of the day, the only one who can make me spend time doing something is myself, and once you realize your battle is with yourself and not with gaming, or TV, or any other distraction/vice, that is the first step to improvement.
Wonder why China is so flat year-over-year. I thought that was where the next growth was coming from. Last quarter China was up 28% year-over-year.
I'm surprised no one mentioned single page web applications -- that's where I see JavaScript's strength at the moment, compared to the other server-side frameworks you named.

JavaScript: While Node.js is awesome, it is definitely not the best choice for everything -- not everyone needs its features (despite the hype). But if you want to build web apps on the client side, you have to either use JavaScript, or compile to JavaScript.

A client side web app however still needs a back end API. The good thing is, if your front end runs (mostly) on the client side, you can pick almost any language / framework for the back end you want (e.g. Python).

> I am a die hard Python lover, but I do not know what do to at this situation.

Now if you don't know Django yet, my suggestion would be to learn both Django (given your Pyhton background) and one of the client side JavaScript frameworks, e.g. Ember.js, Angular.js, React.js or maybe Meteor (depending on your use case). (And if you learned both Ember.js and Django, you probably get an idea of what Ruby on Rails is like …).
Is it me or is profit not as big of a percentage of revenue as it once was? Wasn't it like 25-30 percent before for Apple?
Relevant to this subthread, Gmane's maintainer is also the maintainer of Gnus, so the Gmane web UI is (I'm told) surprisingly familiar for Gnus users.
Few authors sell enough books to make a living at it, and this is true whether they sell through publishers, Amazon, or on their own.

As with any business, how well they do with their own site is strongly dependent on:

1. the quality of the book

2. the promotion and marketing

3. customer service

4. price

None of this is trivial, but it is certainly doable. Small businesses thrive (and fail) all over the internet, selling books is hardly any different.

And, of course, the 100% failure rate happens only when you quit before you start.
I'd use for people who claim X years of experience, but haven't made any progress in ability in those X years. You can spend 30 years evolving, or you can spend it standing still and only moving when you have no other option. This kind of phrase is for the latter kind, doesn't matter if they're serial contractors or have been working on the same project for 30 years.
I agree, just want to point out that if the iPad is used for gaming it gives one a compelling reason to upgrade. I bought a new iPad because hearthstone ran like crap on my iPad 2.
Perhaps some weird kind of font issue? Try setting a different default font, and seeing if that does anything. (The font popup is bound to Option-t by default, I think.)

How to build a simple To-Do List app
Some reasons why I do not like tutanota:

* They say the combination of AES-128 and 2k RSA keys is secure

* The private key is stored on their servers (password needs to be set, but if security hinges on the private key password...)

* The website contains FUD (e.g. the FAQ [1])

* They have been sending UBE with loads of FUD to promote their services

Probably because the iPhone 6 and 6+ weren't released in Q4, so you'll see the China growth effect in 2015 Q1 instead (and hence the optimistic guidance for Q1 2015).
That's why I double and triple check the URL on important service before I fill out everything.
I think this is a case where gentoo can really shine. Although tooling might not be there just yet, the linux meta distribution allows you to build a strict set of dependencies based on what you need and nothing else. There's already been pretty successful attempts at this, such as https://github.com/edannenberg/gentoo-bb (63mb custom nginx sound ok to you?) or https://github.com/wking/dockerfile.

edit:
To elaborate for people not very familiar with gentoo; it solves what a lot of the discussion in this thread seems to be about - having complete control of the dependency chain based on how you choose to build your software. Using nginx as an example, enabling mod_security would pull and build its own dependencies (which also can be limited based on its compiler options). Strip man pages? Done. Change libc library? No problem (if the packages support it).

The work that needs to be done is expanding the toolset to a point where you say "I want this in docker, plx" and anything else (dependencies disregarded) basically goes out the window. The current attempts builds upon a small set of packages for convenience then removes "safe" stuff. When time allows, I'd like to be much more aggressive in terms of what's considered safe.
:edit

I'm personally also very interested in progrium's work with bundling busybox with opkg (https://github.com/progrium/busybox), but still think that docker containers should not be built from within - which why cross compiling from gentoo to create a minimal docker image is the way to go.
The interpreter is ridiculously complicated in order to make up for the conciseness of the programming language.
I think this can apply for some things and not others. I mean, imagine replacing GCC. Obviously, it'd be better to do. I've heard it's one of the worst code bases to contribute to. Or look at OpenSSL even.

For some things you need compatibility, and that means that writing a replacement must be done extremely carefully and will require significant effort.

"Python with C data types" was somewhat of a design goal for Pyrex, the language that Cython followed/built on:

Common sense is priceless.
Incredibly inventive and well executed. Seeing your writeup go from this wacky hand-waving theory to a built camera to actual results is awfully rewarding.
You can actually push all the processing to Redis with Lua without having to fetch a single "row" over the network... I'm not recommending this as a rule of thumb - on the contrary, you could easily tie down your (any type of) DB with application logic - but in some cases it makes sense.
Braintree is a good alternative and it was recently picked up by PayPal. They also offer first $50K in sales transaction fee-free.
That's not really accurate. They're banned because there is no net benefit if both sides have them, and they only serve to make wars more destructive. The exact same logic lead to parallel bans on exploding / poisoned / expanding / fragmenting ammunition and later land mines.
My wife was arriving at our house. She parked on the street because the driveway was full. Our two-year-old daughter went running out to meet Mommy. Then a car came flying around the corner (since we lived at the top of a T intersection, that means that the car was right there.) We both yelled at our daughter to stop. She did, and the car went past.

Two houses later, the car ran over a cat. I went up to see if there was anything I could do. There wasn't, but I got to see what the underside of a cat's head looks like after a car has run over the top side.

I will do almost anything to have that not happen to my daughter's head.

But the problem is, my two-year-old daughter can't understand what 3000 pounds of car at 30 MPH are going to do to her. It's totally outside of her comprehension. Yes, we can tell her that playing in the road hurts, but there's no way she can really get it.

But she can learn that, when Mommy or Daddy tell me to stop and I don't, it hurts every single time. (The consistency is important. Most of the time, it doesn't matter at all if she doesn't stop when I tell her, it merely annoys me. But once in a while, it really matters. It may even mean life or death. And I can't tell which ones it will be in advance.)

You could say, "You don't have to do that. Just fence the front yard." And, sure that would work - for that issue. But then there's chemicals. "Well, install child locks on the cabinets." Sure, we did that. But there's still going to be that one time that you had it out on the counter and the phone rang...

Now, can this be overdone? Absolutely. Should reason replace it as early as possible? Definitely. But when my children were young, I spanked them to teach them that disobedience hurts. I did this, not because I hated them, but because I loved them and wanted to be able to protect them against a world that has more dangers than they knew - dangers that could hurt a lot more than a spanking.
as a self taught developer ive never understood the point of gamifying the process. building a real world application - dropping in user auth, image upload, etc is far more rewarding than leveling up in some imaginary system.

that being said i welcome more tools for helping people learn to program.
I'm long in apple for several reasons:

1. Apple's P/E is way to low for a company that literally sells the best and highest rated products on the market. Historically you pay a P/E _premium_ for these types of stocks, not a discount. The company is downright cheap.

2. ApplePay has a ton of potential. Just in the other news thread others were complaining that moving to chip & pin cards is basically just changing the fraud, not fixing it. ApplePay's tech passes the smell test, and the people who will be using it have expendable money.

3. The Apple Watch. Who knows how it will sell? I will say I am always impressed with Apple's design and polish and it's hard to picture a crappy product. Maybe it's a hit or maybe it just raises their bottom line, either way it's unlikely to drag on profits.

We'll see how it works out. These earnings include only 6 days of iPhone 6 sales... I worry about Apple in my portfolio probably the least compared to other stocks in the S&P 500. It pays a dividend for crying out loud! I have to remind myself not go over diversification rules...
I also have support for DANE on grepular.com, for web and also MX. I've only been doing it for MX for a couple of weeks though. Postfix now supports it.

(BTW, she was using the sewer system, but not paying for water. That's why her sewer system was capped. Since water and sewer fees are coupled, I assume that's one reason why the city had a problem.)

The proximate "okay" part is that the local authorities decided it. The secondary "okay" part is that the local electorate voted for those authorities. After all, at some point that requirement wasn't there.

It's hard to point to every single thing and say "I won't pay it unless I use it." If someone doesn't own a vehicle, then why should they pay for highway taxes for roads they can't bike or walk on? If someone is afraid of flying and will never fly, why do they pay taxes that go to the FAA?

Another solution could be to raise everyone's taxes to be exactly the connection fee for the power company, and have the city pay the power company. Her bill would be $0, but the profits would be the same.

We've decided to have direct payments instead of indirect ones.

One might argue that the utility access to the house constitutes trespass, and without the need for connection there's no need for trespass. This is a sort of feudal view of the land. The flip side is to say that one bought the land with certain rights of access in place, and the landowner can't make one-sided changes. I believe in the latter.

BTW, it can't really really be that the residents decide. If I rent, and don't want to pay power, can I tell the power company to disconnect? Or the water company? Will the city then cap the sewer lines and withdraw the water and power? That sure makes it harder for the owner to find a new renter.

Nor can it be the owner alone who decides. Some of these laws are in place to prevent slumlords, who provide substandard housing. It might be simpler to have a basic law that covers everyone, rather than deal with it through contract law.
But most people would probably sell when they double or triple their money. You'd have to be insanely prophetic to hold on to the stock this whole time without taking profit.
Hi everyone, I'm the dev; looking for feedback and spreading the word about this iOS release. There are many camera apps out there, but this is the only one offering true DSLR-style control right at your finger tips.

(In case you were wondering, yep, this is the same ProShot from Windows Phone, built from the ground-up for iOS :) It's free for now, comments and crit are welcome. Enjoy!
I only know a few people who use a Mac. Most people I know use Windows (and Android). As always, anecdotes are not the same as data.
1. "larger screens" were too obvious to be a validation for cook, everyone was seeing it and only some fundamentalists were insisting on 3.5" or 4.

2. apple 4th quarter is tied closely to the exact timing of launch and availability of the new iphone versions in US and an enough number of other countries. it's an engineered quarter in that sense.

3. even years' 4th quarters (2012,2014,2016) and following quarters do better historically due to renewal cycles of past good performing quarters.

4. in the light of 3, next apple quarter will also be quite well for iphones.

5. iwatch is a better metric to measure cook.

In this case, I'm the plumber. I don't want to be in a position as a plumber where someone mandated that $pipeSystemX had be to used, for non-technical reasons, then it breaks, and I'm 'responsible', but can't fix it. The 'fix' is to replace some or all of it, but contractually, legally, I can't touch it, but the homeowners and neighbors keep coming to ME to 'fix' things, largely because no one else even answers the phone.

And turning it around, if a plumber told me "hey, I'm not allowed to replace this outdated hazardous inefficient $pipeSystemX"... yeah, I'd want to get in to some details.
"You're the man" is a non-gendered statement.
Pretty useless to mourn about such hypotheticals. I had a few bitcoins about 3 years ago that were lost to a failed harddrive (beyond repair -- believe me I tried to get it come back). I think about how much I would have every now and then... but meh, this is an opportunity lost that's just somehow more realizable than probably a handful of other opportunities lost that I can't even identify. So, just keep on going, be vigilant and hope for better for another day.
"DNS + CA" ? Don't you just mean "CA". And when you say "CA", don't you mean, "1 out of hundreds of CAs" ?

Besides there are no CA's for SMTP anyway. Encryption is entirely opportunistic, and self-signed certs are just as trusted as ones signed by one of the CA's that people use for web traffic.

The difference with DANE+SMTP is, all of a sudden a sending server will know that it must use TLS or not send the message. And the cert it receives must match the one published in the DNS. Not just one that is signed by one of any hundreds of CAs.
That is the C code generated by Cython. The actual source is in the .pyx files.
Under the age of 32? 100% of windows users i know of in that demographic do so exclusively for PC gaming. Anecdotes will always be less useful, but this strikes me as a repeatable trend among college campuses and young professionals... to say nothing of a generation of children growing up with iPads.
That plus Christmas.
Nope, it's mostly a Lisp interpreter. Stallman had to build some of the low-level stuff in C then he built the rest of the editor in Lisp.

"We used the same idea here (in the hybrid technique), that most of the editor would be written in Lisp, but certain parts of it that had to run particularly fast would be written at a lower level"

http://www.gnu.org/gnu/rms-lisp.html

That's the beauty of Emacs. Considering that he built it in the early 80s, you have to wonder if the whole thing couldn't be written Lisp today.
we've shifted to plot.ly for visualization and moved away from expensive BI tools. We set up python/pandas scripts on CRON to output realtime data to our local plot.ly web server, which makes a local copy of the data and updates the chart. You simply embed the chart as an iframe where ever want internally, and BOOM, you've got a real time chart (beautiful I may add).

At 2am it looks pretty different (which is an odd default right?), at other times it looks pretty much the same. I used 6pm for comparisons and the heat-map was much more similar.
I'm guessing the negative comment refers to "communicate this detailed hourly plan with your total estimate"

Providing an hourly schedule for a project as short as a week sounds completely crazy to me. Imagine how to pull that off for a month+ project. Maybe the sentence was phrased poorly.

The last point is especially good, and from my experience I can say: leave the most complicated part of the system as a monolith until it's functional, and do detailed design of the easy parts. You never can really predict which dependencies will arise within the complex part.
Then my point is even more important given the proportion of it actually spent on infectious diseases. If that's so allfired important than why were they doing anything else with that money?

The answer, of course, is that it wasn't considered so important until a couple of months ago, and thus, it wouldn't matter how much money was thrown at them, it wouldn't have solved the fundamental priority problem.

Contra to some of the press, I took the time to read the CDC's summary budget from the government's website. It wasn't hard to find ("Center for Disease Control" budget). It's full of things that sound superficially wonderful, but none of it matters if it's being spent incompetently or with priorities not connected to the real world, and throwing "more" at such an organization is not a good investment.

You can't get away from it. It isn't about more, it's also about what. What matters a lot. Again, I'd be less vocal about not just handing the government more if the advocates of more would pay more attention... much more attention... to what, and how well. But I can't help but notice the advocates of "more" seem to consider that an attack, when in all seriousness they really ought to be leading the charge. If you are an advocate of giving the government more, shouldn't you consider it very important to your own position that what the government already has be used well? You give away an enormous weapon when you leave it solely to your opponents to point out problems!
Meads are possibly the easiest thing you can brew yourself, second only to things that start fermenting when you don't want them to.

The problem is that straight honey mead is just not all that interesting to drink. It usually does have some of the residual honey character - but who wants to drink a pint of diluted honey?

By the time you get around to tweaking recipes that turn out a product most people would like you're either back at the same level of effort or time you'd have to spend making a regular grape wine.

I've made a handful of meads so far and I don't think I'm going to do another one unless I have a specific recipe in mind - maybe a metheglyn or a braggot.

This happened to me with Tesla. I bought a hundred shares at $35, and had a sell order that said, "sell if it drops more than 10%." Two months later, around $80, it fell to $70 or something like that, and mine automatically got sold. Then it jumped to $250.

But I was gambling with it (it's the only time in my life I've bought a single company's stock like that), and I think in retrospect the result is quite good. I just can't shake away the "if only..." feeling. :-)

Finland has even more idiotic rules: microbreweries aren't allowed to sell their wares online. So they ship them across the Gulf of Finland to Estonia, which is way more liberal, and sell them online from there, which Finland can't prohibit thanks to EU free trade laws... and then the orders get shipped right back to Finnish buyers!
