Part of the motivation for inventing complex new derivatives is to create things that look conservative to the model but are actually risky. Nailed it. Things like FX, commodities and equities are closed systems. These markets make their

I'm with you on this one. This must be a very hard hurdle for hosting based startups. Perhaps on of the github guys could comment?

Another important point: One is much closer to anarcho-capitalism in philosophy than the other. edit: if you downmod me, please explain why. this is a great opportunity to learn.

Do any programmers actually work only 8 hours a day..? I've never seen evidence suggesting this is actually true. 10+2 seems more realistic.

What's new is where a lot of independent programmers are. What's necessary is for something very practical to require scheme. Ruby would still be a hobbyists language if Rails didn't come along. Perhaps arc could help here in the future b

It seems odd to me that this isn't coupled with a network host of some kind. Organizing my tasks is rarely the hard part. It's remembering them from anywhere that proves tricky. Perhaps instead of a network host, something better integrated

If people just start hacking and using a system in larger numbers, it'll grow. If being the magic word... The world is so ripe for the next big language to be Scheme. Why do you say that? Scheme is not new. Something radical would hav

In perl you can write 'if(!bool) { ... }', 'unless(bool) { ... }', or even '... if(!bool)' As I said, I'm not an expert in the languages in question, but the scope of code formatting flexibility is larger than just whitespace.

Without knowledge of JRuby, IronPython or Jython, I'm curious how Python's low tolerance for code formatting flexibility has helped here. Anyone?

I have recently heard people saying Python is too slow and Java is preferred for some thing. Since I'm a bit of a newbie in the python world I'm not sure what to suggest. Do y'all have an opinion on this?

Smart of them to give the interface a 24 type look. I think I'll dub it the SutherFace. Everyone using it, in the back of their mind, will think they have access to the whole world, even if it's only displaying the weather.

This story seems oddly familiar to the story of Jimmy Cayne while Bear was having trouble. Turned out Jimmy was really sick.

If you look in the huffpost's big news pages, you'll see the images don't match the names underneath. I figure it must be done programmatically then... Does anyone have any info? I see a picture of Fred Thompson for Barack Obama. A picture

It doesn't appear to support proxies during the install process.

I'm not so sure. It seems more like astrology, in that it's vague enough to apply to someone who wants to think of themselves as an absent-minded genius, than thesis material. Apply the context of programming and you've got a sure hit, albe

I pay for hosting from linode.com. I freely host a project with google code (java chat client/server xkasperx.googlecode.com) so I don't need a pay service like github. With the $30 I pay a month to linode I can host and write most of the s

Fkeys (they're on every keyboard) and single letter commands are easily adoptable. I dig this one. On my mac, I always set it to let the F keys behave normally. I hit fn + an F key to change volume, etc. I map all my f keys in emacs to so
