For me, it was the 'magic'. Ruby seemed to have a lot of 'magic' working behind the scenes - which confused the hell out of me when I tried to figure out how something worked a particular way. Python on the other hand has far less magic a

This is a pretty broad guideline - One that, if applied at face value, would dramatically decrease the quality of this board. Although I see a fair share of Reddit bashing from time to time on HN when discussing this degrade of quality in

No relevance whatsoever - I am confused at how the #1 and #2 front page stories (of HN) are about MJ. I understand exceptions, but aside from relevant science posts, I can't think of too many that would be merited.

Although I could not agree more, one caveat here - hosting a "server" of nearly any flavor is a violation of most current ISP's TOS. I know we do it and get away with it (and its one of the dumbest rules ever), but they will terminate your

I have had a handful of domains through 1and1 - so far, so good. No problems. Admin interface is friendly. Notices via email for all renewals. Don't know how that compares, but I have been happy. Heck, I tossed their referral link on m

For some unknown reason, our company Websense (crap) filter blocks the site as "Questionable or Illegal"...

Agreed - I use it nearly daily. I can honestly say it is one of the few apps that has proven so invaluable to me that I have been inspired to tell countless friends, associates and customers about it...

Very good argument - unfortunately, it likely is non-applicable in many (if not most) of the universities in the U.S. From my personal experience, I found mediocre teachers who primarily seemed to be present for class for attendance - lik

Being one of the college students who deceived themselves, I have to admit that I could not have put it better myself. Is it my own dumb fault? Yes, it is. I was an adult and like to think that I was smart enough to have made the decisio

I am confused - how do robotic prosthetic limbs relate to faith or any deity? Furthermore, in the possibility that there is a god, what does furthering human knowledge and easing human suffering have to do with knowing or becoming god? Ju

Yup. Short of an official supported API, we are pretty much tied on utilizing CL's data. While screen scraping CL is easy and can yield fully utilizable data for an outside application, the application will be doomed to failure (financial

"If CraigsList had an API, it would be a game-changer." Agreed. As a long time CL user, I have thought the exact same thing. Short of API functionality and extensibility, I know of numerous scraper/mashup applications that utilize CL data.

Well put. Although I must admit I worry about what this means for projects such as Firefox, I do think that it will ultimately be good for the web. Hopefully some equilibrium can be established between the Google and Mozilla camps, but onl

As much as I hate to agree with such a malicious statement, I do have to agree that Adobe has not helped their case for community support in their lack-luster support for the Linux and open source communities. I have used Adobe products for

I agree.. Really, what is the harm with a little light hearted marketing and branding? I guess to appease the technical crowd, they should have the technical specs and full API docs on the front page...

I can always count on HN to reassure me that I am not alone in my zealous excitement for new tech innovations... As soon as I read this article, I clicked through the install and tutorial and then bounced around the cubicles singing Ubiquit

I see. There definitely seems to be a connection between coming to Ruby and coming to Python, so this is a fair argument for their association. I think that them being listed together does however muddle the value of the poll because you c

I thought the same thing here - unique languages with distinctive paradigms, deserving of separate choices.

I think that a lot of the popularity of Ruby came not so much from Ruby itself, but Rails. I think that with the emerging popularity of Django, you are likely to begin noticing a similar influx of Python enthusiasm...
