   This is unnecessarily pessimistic. Most of the major packages support Py3k and if they don't it's usually very simple to port over (it usually means combining 2to3 with some bytestring to string conversion debugging). I'm not

   I had problems with conflicting files in dropbox / google drive so I just have a single directory with all of my org files in it versioned with a private Github repo. For private stuff I just use the :crypt: keyword org extension to en

   This. While there are many wonderful features in Py3 (I use it 100% in production at work) it still needs a killer feature to really inspire people to move over. Python's lack of solid asynchronous I/O is definitely one of those f

   I'm not being combative here, but I'm curious why you said "This should work great in Indian market."

   I might be interpreting your question wrong but that is specific to Haskell (which he uses as the foundation of lambdu). It looks like sum is being composed with filter which is given the iterable and a predicate.

   Quite a few statements made here with little personal experience to back them up. I'm a startup founder for the last four years and would not trade it in for anything - even the difficult experience of taking my company through Techsta

   The more software you write in it the more that stuff becomes second nature (unless you're a library writer in which you have to reason about your types very carefully).

   The company I work for, http://energycurb.com , has a home energy analytics product that might be able to compete in this. We aren't doing anything with public data but this is giving me some good ideas.

    I particularly like the custom event triggers in this and how it's only trying to be a simple clustered gossip layer that other services can be built on-top of. That's my primary complaint with etcd is that it's both atte

    This is rad and I had no idea IPython was flexible enough that you could do this. Installing immediately!

    There's always time! Wake up an hour earlier, get more disciplined, stay up an hour later, reorganize a weekend to squeeze in a few more hours there. If you truly want to learn something, you can make the time for it. I went from being

    I use org-mode and emacs now for bookmarks. Org-protocol + bookmarklets makes it easy, just click the "Bookmark" bookmarklet and it sends the URL/Description (anything on the page that I want really) to emacsclient which uses

    I forgot about HaikuOS too - I love what those guys are doing. Can't remember if they wrote the kernel from scratch too?

    Why wouldn't they be advancing it? It might not be academically rigorous in some cases (in some cases it is) but every single project is doing something unique and pushing the sphere of known solutions to problems further out. Very f

    No doubt there have been horror stories coming from PayPal and I wouldn't use them as a payment platform. You also have to realize though that people of all demographics use PayPal and their fraud detection/handling reflects that,

    Boy, everyone is so negative about the purchase on here! Braintree's customer base is far too large at this point for PayPal to just shut it down ; that would be terrible PR because Braintree is critical to many businesses at this poi

    Time is a lot like shelving. When you have empty space, you want to fill it. Filling your time with the right responsibilities and being strategic about how you qualify what is a "right" responsibility relative to your personality

    I have a system of note-taking, journaling, idea recording, and organization of thoughts using Emacs + Org-Mode + Org-Capture + OwnCloud. MMV, some people really like Trello for this sort of thing and others just use a Moleskin journal.

    There are numerous reasons for why containerization (even containerization on-top of a vm) is a wonderful thing. The first thing is that containers allow you to securely isolate software and its configuration without impacting that software
