I just went to my settings, changed the password somewhere in them, signed out, signed in using my gmail address and the new password, and it worked. But yeah, flickr is buggy. The Android app on my tablet never seemed to load anything (exc

The account creation page (for those who like me used Flickr without a Yahoo account) is a mess – for any account name I tried entering, it said that an account with the same name already exists. Finally managed to create my Yahoo account s

The low readability/contrast in some places seems to be the main problem. Sad to see the old Finder logo go – the central curve ending outside the "box" was a nice touch. The new dock reminded me of the old Powerbook G4 I had

Yeah, I kind of get it after some additional thought (and reading through the replies). Maybe I missed out on some detail (not watching the live video, just a text stream) – now that I've taken a look at the syntax, the comparison seem

Yes. But what has that got to do with writing native apps?

Oh God, they just compared the speed of Objective C, Swift and... Python! It's nice to see Swift being faster than Objective C, etc., but what has Python got to do with coding native iOS/OS X apps? Of course it's going to fai

Except that DropBox is still cheaper, has a good app, stores file revision history, syncs across various operating systems. Dropbox always seemed to me to be a bit more sophisticated product than just "I want a backup in the Cloud&quot

> Newer programmers are not that impressed with either version of Python. Any evidence? If it's personal experience, then mine is exactly the opposite. I don't know if such a thing exists, but maybe a big list of the main chang

Most of the Kaggle competitions (if not all) do not allow any use of external data, as far as I know.

From my experience, scrollable tab bars can be nice – but that is if the user actually knows that the bar can be scrolled. For example, in VSCOcam (image editing app) I discovered that the tab bar can be swiped/scrolled after two month

Never heard of FastMail before this post, and I'm considering switching now. I have a personal mail server, but it was a PITA to set up, and it probably needs AWS SES (since everything I send mostly ends up in people's spam folder

I guess every provider has its "horror story". Rackspace suffering outages, DigitalOcean closing a personal site (if I recall correctly) for some dubious reasons, AWS having problems with EBS-EC2 interaction (again, not entirely s

Yeah, I know, I did everything as needed. The console showed that it was online, but I couldn't SSH into it or use the LISH web console to access it. I wrote to their support team, but at that point, I had already redone everything fro

No, as far as I know, AWS is the only service that has GPU instances. Probably current demand is not yet high enough to justify the purchase and maintenance of such instances for other cloud providers. Even PiCloud (which runs on the AWS in

Not exactly deployed yet, but it's going to be Linode for sure, perhaps with PiCloud for computation-intensive parts. I looked at AWS for a while, but seems overkill at the moment, besides, the AWS management panel and the pricing page

I worked as a free-lance programmer 'on retainer' for a big project (I'd do work for them once a month or so). It's never too early to discuss what will happen when you want to quit. I didn't do that, and after bein

Most libraries support Python 3 ( http://py3readiness.org/ ). 3.4 added asyncio, 3.3 added the 'yield from'. Python 3 has a saner print statement, type annotations. I guess that it isn't that much, but I moved

I've waded through a lot of legacy and current scientific code (and still do that sometimes). The worst part (not taking into account the coding style per se) for me was the (sometimes) inability to reuse the code I've encountered

As mentioned, PyCharm supports this – I found it very useful when writing large amounts of code, saves time when trying to remember what type which variable should be (sometimes it's not evident from the input variable names). And this

I've dealt with a lot of legacy Fortran (and Pascal) code, and while the I agree with the article in that Fortran has to go, Haskell and Clojure seem VERY weird and pointless choices in the area of computing (see the comments on the ar

By no means am I going to say that what I write is true for the majority of 4sq users, but I and most of my friends use it to mostly keep track of visits abroad and occasionally search for a restaurant/bar/new place to check out.
