I wish someone would make a study about why there are so few Israelis in open-source projects.

"Got my hands on" is not the best expression to use when talking about electrical equipment :)

I just want to note that flights to/from Israel happen to be more expensive than in other countries.

In my opinion, unless your project already has excellent documentation, you shouldn't spend much time or thought documenting your commits. Making detailed commit messages is "documenting the process". Making code documentation is documentin

Yes, problematic. I guess though that if the box in which the wire is rolled can be fully pulled out of the wall (after unscrewing of course) then maybe these problems won't be so bad.

This might be a good place to mention my project again: http://pythonturtle.org It's not nearly as comprehensive as Invent with Python, but it also attempts to deal with the challenge of giving a low 'barrier to entry' to learning Python.

I'm so confused. I read the beginning 3 times and I'm not sure which side is complaining about not enough men and which side is complaining about not enough women.

When I see articles like this that show a deep understanding on the present state and the future of programming, it makes me sad. Because if these kinds of ideas were articulated 35 years ago, I'd expect that by now we would have progressed

More like giving them a new problem: Finding another excuse for how their sex tape got published...

Reminds me of a cool idea I once thought of. It's more a nerd-fantasy than something practical. A surveillance system that not only encrypts the video, but also digitally signs it, so James Bond-style thieves can't switch cameras.

Very exciting. This project looks impressive and I really hope it succeeds. Also, what would be really orgasmic is if it would be possible to type math in Latex inside the browser and see it displayed nicely like that. But this is probabl

Possibly you don't use it as heavily as me, I have maybe ~5 reminders a day.

Been using the SMS alerts for years as well - It's much LESS reliable than the e-mail alerts for me, with SMSs being dropped all the time, but this is probably because of my phone company which is in Israel, so I won't hold it against Googl

Dude, have you read my comments to all the people below? This is ALL GOOGLE. The alerts go from my Google Calendar to Gmail, and I read them from the browser.

by cool-RR 17y ago
Yes, Gmail. What do you mean, "works fine" for you? In more than 95% of the time it works fine for me too, I'm just concerned about it not being close enough to 100%.

No ISP involved -- It's all in-Google.

It doesn't even let you specify an email address -- It just sends to your associated Gmail account.

Jacques, I really thought better of you. The last thing I imagined is that you'd get mixed up in the money laundering business.

Also, I would be very happy to hear a recommendation about an alerting service that you can trust.

Maybe it's because they were spending less time in the sun? Please deliver my Nobel prize in the mail, thanks.

This is my main project that I've been working on for about 6 months. You might find it familiar because I made a few "Ask HN" posts related to it. I made an alpha release recently, and I'm looking for people who'd like to be "alpha testers
