The "100,000.00" format is also used in the UK.

15% sounds perfectly reasonable to me. You've got to remember, while you may manage your inbox well (through being wary of who you give your email to and utilising email filters), not everyone does. A lot of people simply give their email t

Well, I was comparing it to something like Java. Though Python still scores far lower on my readability scale. It's seems like it's halfway to being minified, the lines are chock-a-block. Also, this is a better version in Ruby: file =

1) If you're reading bad code, that could be a problem. But 99% of Ruby code I read has been written by people who know when they need parentheses/brackets to make the code readable (e.g. when it's not the only code on the line.) But there

I really didn't like some of his examples (especially the part containing 'longer_than_5', that was hideous IMO!) He tried explaining Ruby's simplicity…by using some of the most confusing idioms. For example: array.select &:even?

I have no affiliation with AppSumo or GinzaMetrics. I just thought people might be interested in a great deal from a YC company.

Ah, the taxman, how could I forget thee! It'll be around ~51.3% in Sweden incl. the VAT.

That should work out at ~£4.5MM profit, after PayPal takes their cut and misc. bills are paid (e.g. bandwidth.) Not bad for a one-man company (until recently, anyway.)

1. Draw some ideas out on paper, and work out the minimal viable feature set. I try and convince all clients to do this, that way we can get something out the door ASAP, and then take a breather before adding the re

Bargain, love AppSumo! Anyone want my Twillo credits? Not a US resident so can't use them, see my profile for my email.

If you need money so bad, why not move away from San Francisco?

Also: whitelisting anyone with "googlebot" in their user-agent. That's like letting anyone in at the White House just if they turn up with an Obama mask on.

The current version ("741, 2.41") is nicer. I'm not a karma-whore, but it's nice to know where I'm at. One feature I'd love to see also, is the # of direct replies to my comments in the head bar. Also, while we're at it, a page listing them

It's not listed in the Misuse of Drugs Act, so I'd be surprised if I even got a fine for importing a personal supply, never mind jail time.

Just ordered 20x Modafinil from them, also shipping to the UK. Quite anxious about ordering drugs from a foreign company, but from some quick research, it would seem UnitedPharmacies are quite reputable. I'll probably break the tablet in ha

It wasn't even implemented into Chrome (dev channel, OSX) until recently, and I don't think I even noticed anyone ask about it.

Flask looks similar to Ruby's Sinatra: http://www.sinatrarb.com/ @OP: Personally I think Python has a lot of syntax fluff, whereas Ruby couldn't get simpler in that regard; even forgetting about the LOC and focusing on the respective DSLs

APR is pretty irrelevant for payday loans. If my math is correct, even at the highest quoted 462% APR, a £100 loan for 10-days would have a fee of ~£5. Compared to ~£16 for the rest of the payday industry, that's not too bad. In reality the

Would you though? Surely anyone who buys a Mac would just use OS X (and then dual boot Windows for whatever reason they needed it for.)

Nobody buys a Macbook Pro because of the hardware, it's all about the OS.

Definitely. GitHub is the de-facto home for rubyists, so it's no surprise to me that it's the most popular language there.

An "Allow for X minutes" feature would be awesome. That way I'd never have to disable it, I could just give myself small breaks every so often.

I don't see the problem here. If they allowed anyone to submit a title without any backing from a trusted name or company, or without it already being a working title, the quality of the site would soon drop off a cliff.

It seems to be capped at 60FPS. But it's the simplest demo, my results for the others are nowhere near 60FPS, most aren't even usable unfortunately.

While at first sight it would suggest less people support the party now compared to last year, you've got to remember that fringe groups like the Pirate Party often do better in EU elections than they do in national elections, which has a s
