Most people in my firm (used to be one of the top wall st firms until, say, around march :) swear by bloomberg. So do the guys who bought us. You'll definitely need some sort of login system that allows chatting and a LOT more information i

That wasn't obvious to me at first either. I checked the url and saw it. Presentation is HUGE. On top of this, your service, so far, consists of me entering my email address. I think I'm doing YOU a service if I comply. Not sure why I shoul

From my limited experience with Ruby, I'd say it would be a step backwards for someone who knows Python. It will largely show them how things are done awkwardly in another language while attempting to solve similar problems. Something like

> you are not supposed to do this, says Python to you, because it's a bad practice and can lead to errors. Isn't that one of the main themes of Python? That you can expect another programmer to have solved the same problem almost the sa

Fair argument, but I'd recommend using TextMate then.

The fonts are easily adjusted in Carbon Emacs too. How is it friendly to a mac keyboard?

by j2d2 18y ago
I use the exact same Emacs environment on my mac with Carbon Emacs as I use on Unix systems and my windows machine at work. I can't speak for the unportability of Aquamacs, but Carbon Emacs works exactly as I expect so good 'nuff!

I don't disagree, but wisdom of things you haven't hit yet can influence early decision making.

Agreed. I generally sum this idea up as victim-based policies vs. enabling policies. This is subtle in the language people use too. Some people say, "we need to control this" implying they want to rule out everything and allow some things.

My boss has one. He loves it. He tells me it's a pleasure to wake-up and have the newspaper loaded onto it every morning. What I see here is not so much an easy way to carry lots of books around, it's a way to sync your reading life with yo

Do you have a way I could pull some of that data? I have an idea I'm looking to build soon and this information would be invaluable. Would you mind chatting more via email? jdennis at gmail.

Slashdot is the first one I remember doing this. The audience sizes are arguable, but I'm inclined to think slashdot's audience was higher. I am interested to read this code because I haven't read much on how they rank stories. Now I can re

I was under the impression some media companies had colluded with youtube to allow piracy for a big pay-out once someone bought youtube. This was to let youtube win the video content hosting race through piracy, while still paying for the c

By not considering a company evil, I haven't said anyone is benevolent. I have a hard time believing nefarious acts are afoot here. I'd prefer not to see paranoia on HN.
