Ah anecdotes, the facts of the internet. I'm only 1135 days here, this must have happened before my time on HN. Wished I'd experienced the "stern emails from PG". "You take my word for it or not." Well, not. Sorry, too much science educatio

When was that? Could you quote some threads from the past that display "Apple's totalitarian grip on HN-discussion"?

You have experience paying money to corrupt cops in Cambodia? Are most cops in Cambodia corrupt? Did you already do that? Sounds interesting so could you elaborate? Or have you never been to Cambodia and use HN to throw around racist commen

For sure not. But if I'd pay 400M SEK and had a little wish, I'm sure I'd let the other side know about my wishes. It's not my argument, but the interesting argument is not that Sweden paid 400M SEK to get a prisoner - that cause and effect

I'm on no side, but what did he refute? That no strings were attached? That noone threatened to hold payments back?

My comment was about the HN comments not the article. Did you even read my comment?!

Got to love HN, if someone copies a startup pixel by pixel and business modell, hulla, the lynch mob readies it's pitchforks. If someone copies a freelancers design, website or logo, woha, people run amok. If someone copies Apples UI, hardw

I assume there is no progress if one "side" - I assume - attribute it to laziness that pupils can't read and the other "side" blame it on racism - meaning each one sees the main problem with the others.

"Thus, to be cheating in a class where 99% of the students are cheating is to be somewhat less culpable than to be among the students cheating when only 1% of the students are cheating." No.

I'm burning my karma with this, but I appreciate this article. As a startup I'd like to be warned, probably people wasted time with this girl, time to market, time to VCs, time to get there startup somewhere b/c they believed this girl woul

"[..] as long as your python isn't java I'd say it should remain significantly shorter." My intent with the post was to create empiric knowledge, I'm not a follower of the idea anecdotal 'evidence' trumps all that is pervasive in our indust

Ah I see the problem, the example would need to be larger for the classes to be more than data holder classes. Do you think when the classes are larger with some logic, the ratio of Java/Python LOC would change?

From my - some years, but rather limited - experience with Scala (compared to a decade of Java), the largest point for Scala is how it works with monads e.g. Option, eliminating a lot of "if" statements and making APIs much clearer. And I d

Sorry, my Python was in the 90s, I dropped it for Java back than so my skills - even in 2008 - were not the best, as I've said in the post "Sorry that my Python is rusty, all correcting comments or comments on how to do it better are welcom

Some years ago I wrote "Is Java 10x more verbose than Python (LOC)? A modest empiric approach" [1]. The most interesting comment quoted "PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES ARE LIKE GIRLFRIENDS: THE NEW ONE IS BETTER BECAUSE YOU ARE BETTER"from [2]. [1

1.) K [1] is shorter than Clojure, if LOC is a metric you love. 2.) Scala 8x more LOC than Clojure, I'm not believing this. Or in other words, show some code. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K_(programming_language)

The difference between Mr. Green and Mr. Assange is: Mr. Green may say "Oh, I was wrong", Mr. Assange might not say anything anymore.

"Besides if the author feels that he can maintain his codebase this way then I don't see any problem in it." Exactly.

I had so bad experiences with Virtualbox (Dropping interfaces, crashing, ...) and switched to VMWare (Mac OS X). So I applaud the support of different providers.

See the recent thread on HN, one writes a useful tool, gives it away, top voted comment on HN is a sniping comment about code style.
