Yep. I won't port a single bit of my existing code until 100% of the libraries I depend on are ported first. As much as I like Python 3, it just doesn't make any sense for me to deal with it right now.

Is that true? Was Photobucket or MySpace a "big success"? They certainly sold for a lots of money, but profitable was never a strong suit was it?

Isn't the implication here that these folks know each other?

Do you have a link to said discussion? Look at most bold women and the jokes that people make about them being "bitches" or "cold" or what not. I would respond "bold" men are often called "predators" and "douchebags" by the very same peop

I could not disagree more. I love posts like this. They took a very common idiom and re-imagined it in a fun and creative way. The insight into the process was interesting and really useful as a reference point for my own work. More just li

I'm still trying to figure out where they get the money to pay off the loan.

The education component is where the disruption comes in. We have a solid business selling phone calls. Our sales pitch is "we make your phone ring and you really never have to worry about it." SMB's get it and we don't need to educate them

Yep...and if you use it for that it's brilliant. My latest project runs Python/Pyramid and MongoDB for the more traditional computational stuff. We have a notification architecture running through node.js/socket.io sending real-time events

I for one find it really difficult to context switch like that. I'd likely idly attempt to work on whatever I was doing to begin with, but it would be frustrating and not very rewarding:)

Mongo is single-master, so last-write-wins is how writes are resolved. However, they do support partial updating. So you only need to write the specific part of the document that you are actually changing.

I think it's more that Google wants in on that demographically targeted ad-game. Right now search ads and facebook display ads are really different beasts. For instance, in my business Facebook ads are worthless. We depend on user intent "I

My experience matches yours. The synonyms and spelling corrections are tools that make my experience with google much better. The issue, for me, continues to be the quality of the results. I still have a lot of issues with duplicate conte

Apple owes its existence to American education, infrastructure, and a host of other services provided by American taxpayers. Why shouldn't they support the same families that supported them all these years?

That sounds terrifying really. You'd undoubtedly end up with people only bothering to vote for things they feel really passionately about, which usually falls on the wrong side of rationale.

All of those nuances really do matter. You may not be able to appreciate them, but subconsciously those decisions contribute to your sense of happiness, joy, or excitement about any given design. As a matter of fact, I'd argue that it's tho

That would imply that commissions are the only way of measuring performance. Everyone in a company has to be accountable to their performance, why should sales be any different?

Maybe not "very little" but I would claim to fit this mold. I think it's made me an excellent programmer. I'm... competent (at best) at math. I'm below-average as a writer. However, mechanically I do very well. I can visualize and understan
