AutoHotkey is available and open source but the custom scripting language is off-putting, I would much rather have something like standard JavaScript for it. If this project moves forward in that direction it could be great.

It's rather the excess of regulation due to anti-bank sentiment that creates these barriers to entry. Banks are rather calling for less regulations, and when they got it their way in the 90s, it is what happened.

But it is true that the excess of regulation is reenforcing the position of the incumbents. Banks have to staff full time employees just to read the amount of draft regulations and consultation papers published every day. A start up stands no chance in that environment.
Life is grand when you sell out to one of the largest money transmitters in the nation (in this case, PayPal).

That's the first thing I thought of, tired or sick. Or how many times I've used one hand to type in my password because I had a drink or food in my other.

How would mobile work with this? Sometimes I use both fingers, sometimes just my thumb on one hand. Would it just create multiple behavior profiles for me that are accepted?

In combination of the right password and the behavior match, it seems like this would actually be pretty strong. I'm looking forward to trying to break it tomorrow with a friend.

I think you misunderstood the intention of this feature. The goal is to identify and/or profile users that themselves use just a regular log-in. This can be then used to improve targeted marketing, selling that information to third-parties for example.

Note how the article mentions that the gender can be determined after a few keystrokes, even though the user never entered that specific information. This is certainly not the only metric that can be identified. The point of the article is to develop a solution to prevent leakage of private/personal information.

Oh I think you have misunderstood. On the code side for the website/software that is being translated that's what would happen.

This theoretical software is for gathering all of the translations, and having editors and translators (multiple) manage them with ease. Then generating all of the JSON/XML/XLIFF/Other_Format files for every language for use on the site/software. I have yet to find software that can do this well.
> Why is everyone hating on Excel, and spreadsheets in general?

Speaking for myself, because spreadsheets are intrinsically "information silos." Traditionally, this has been due to the data being locked up in the spreadsheet's proprietary files. This offering only exacerbates the issue by incorporating data from external sources which lack data management guarantees available in other solutions.

> They are such easy tools for creating, displaying and auditing calculations (like financial models), manipulating rows of similar data, and generating regular charts and reports.

When their use is restricted to this, spreadsheets do provide value. The problem is that many times the spreadsheets start off as a data integration scratch pad (as it were) and then become the "system of reference."

Used as a tool which enables one-off types of value it's hard to argue against them (so I won't :-)).

> Python's duck typing may horrify Java programmers, but it doesn't mean that all Python code is bad or has type errors.

This is a false dichotomy[1], or a straw man[2] if you prefer, as both Python and Java are general purpose programming languages.

Excel is not a general purpose programming language. It is not a programming language. It is a program which allows people to use a very specific DSL to benefit from it in novel ways. And when they do, any chance of autonomous integration is lost.

I was actually enrolled in the first python version of this course. at that time it was taught by a google employee and not Brian Harvey (author of the OP, past professor of this course).

For me personally, the biggest benefit of python was the large amount of accessible resources online. There were multiple ways to learn something rather than banging my head against SICP.

Incidentally, writing a scheme interpreter was one of the last projects of the course.

Get the degree. It's going to be a lot harder to get a job without it - it's one of those basic requirements for a lot of jobs.

A lot of what you learn in computer science isn't relevant to a programming job but they will still want you to have a computer science or software engineering degree.

After briefly studying computer science I went onto study architecture which is a 6 year course (1 year in the middle is work experience). After 3 years you get a BSc and after 6 years you get a BArch. I dropped out in the 5th year. I regret now not getting the BArch - it would have given me more options.

What I've Learned at a Growing Startup (compared with my first failed startup)
At Oxford University in the UK, students are taught exclusively Haskell in their first year - a language designed by a committee of some of the worlds best computer scientists. An institution that teaches Python under the banner of computer science, certainly loses prestige in my opinion.
Here's a full essay from Moorcock of the Tolkien critique:

http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/arts/english/currentstudents/u...

While there is an argument for the reactionary nature of the books, they are certainly deeply conservative and strongly anti-urban, which is what leads some to associate them with a kind of Wagnerish hitlerism. I don't think these books are 'fascist', but they certainly don't exactly argue with the 18th century enlightened Toryism with which the English comfort themselves so frequently in these upsetting times. They don't ask any questions of white men in grey clothing who somehow have a handle on what's best for us.

Google reveals a large number of people making similar points:

I love JRR Tolkien's work, but it is racist and fairly fascistic. Most of the good guys are tall white men of the north and west, simple country farmers, and the dunedain who remain supermen even though their quality has diminished by mingling with the "blood of lesser men." The dwarves and elves are also good races. The enemies are various swarming slave races, the cowardly Easterlings, the savage elephant riding painted Haradrim, the literally subhuman orcs. Those counseling peace are perfidious fools, cowards or traitors.

This won't keep me from rereading The Simirilian, The Hobbit, LOTR and the Children of Hurin. But Tolkien was a man of his time and place and we should appreciate his virtues without ignoring his vices.

Calling Tolkien himself a fascist is quite a few bridges too far for me.

I understand enforcing data integrity inside the db (checks, triggers, etc) but, especially if your main client is a Rails application, why are you writing migrations in SQL and not in Ruby? I feel that since the introduction of reversible transformations (the change method) and "native" foreign keys (I had been rolling my own methods before) we get so much for free. Do you write two different scripts for migrating up and down?

Sorry about the ad-hominem in the previous post, it was a poor choice of words.

I did not claim that capitalism was 'fair', nor that the rich elites did not have a political leverage to further their personal well being. But it's not slavery. Calling things "Unfair" would be a good start, and then figuring out the parameters of the solution space. I.e. if the status quo is "unfair", then what would "fair" look like. It certainly does feel unfair that while the productivity has skyrocketed people still need to work 40 hour weeks to provide for housing, food and healthcare.

But I don't think the answer to "fair" is in rural pre-industrial societies.

I said: "I think you need to specify your historical period and geographical region before you can claim that a great number of people had access to productive land and economic independence before industrial revolution."

To which you replied: "Pre industrial revolution: Anywhere."

"Anywhere" would imply all members of pre-industrial agricultural communities thrived in sovereign bliss. This is quite far from the truth.

I don't know the Haskell ecosystem, but my guess is that Python will have many more libraries already developed for scientific tasks.
I think what makes Python unique and successful as a programming language is a strict pragmatism (rejection of any ideology) and rather conservative choices in features to add (that is, don't add everything that someone suggest, wait until we can see it's a good idea and it cannot be readily composed from existing parts).

Scheme, OTOH, has some ideological choices. The whole notion of programmable programming language that comes with Lisp tradition (which includes s-expressions). The emphasis on teaching and small libraries. Attempt to somewhat model mathematics in numerical tower. These design choices, while interesting, are going against practicality.

I am big fan of mathematics, Common Lisp, Haskell. There is so much beauty and elegance. And yet, when I need to get something done quickly, I will just use Python because it drops the mathematical purity without prejudice, just like a physicist working on an impossible problem.

Hi,

Thanks for your questions. There are few differences between Hyper and boot2docker:

1- Docker commands are run inside the boot2docker VM and not directly on the host  . Hyper daemon directly runs on your Mac.

2- When using boot2docker, each time you restart the VM, you have to manually mount the drives (and reinstall Fig if you're using it)

3- While boot2docker is a "wrapper" around Docker and VirtualBox, Hyper for Mac is part of the whole Hyper ecosystem, providing a similar environment on Linux, or Mac OS X.

Be careful when you talk about that blocker. Roberto Rosario criticized it, calling it's algorithm the most idiotic algorithm he's seen in 29 years of programming. He later apologized for that wording, but said he still disagrees with the algorithm.

This, and a tweet where he said that while he takes no stance on #gamergate, as Chairman of IDGA Puerto Rico he has to denounce someone who said everybody who is pro #gamergate should be sent to Nazi gas chambers, got him labeled a harasser, and a leader of gamergate.

In the 9 months since then, he and his family have been harassed. Much of that is linked to in the discussion here [1].

He has since been forced to stepped down as Chair of the Python Cuba working group due to the harassers contacting his employer and his employers clients [2].

It’s hard to give inputs when there is little information about the why.

I vote get the degree. It gives you more options.

If you choose not to: Go out with a drive to succeed and enjoy the fact that life is about choosing and learning.

At its naked core there is no good or bad decision. What makes a decision good or bad is how you deal with the consequences.

If you nail the why (prior to choosing) you can do the most radical things with the most drastic consequences but still feel safe within yourself that this was the best of many paths to unfold.
for some it's not about introversion/extroversion but simply the fact that whatever part of their brain deals with speech is the same part that deals with thinking through those kinds of problems, so they can't do both at the same time as a matter of physics.

The Internationalization of Startups
So, for each Docker image, hyper creates a VM?
I think this is the first time I am disagreeing with a comment of yours. Sadly, this factually incorrect position about TCO is held by many and repeated often.

On the larger scheme (pun intended) of things, of course TCO is not essential, very few things are. However, the assertion "you can just always use a loop" is incorrect. To pull out just one example, with TCO I can have the producer-consumer coroutine for free without stack overflow. Loops are not the only use case for TCO.

Furthermore, there is nothing 'O' about it, doing extra work (maintaining call frames) not required by the semantics is not an optimization but an act of pessimization, unless there are compelling reasons to do that extra work. Guido feels lack of stacktraces is one such a compelling reason. I don't find that to be particularly compelling because that 'stack trace' is quite absent in the alternative he suggests: loops
