   I still think the list comprehension is clearer than: map(str, filter(lambda x: x%2 is 0, range(100)))

   I don't think the "x for x" is repetitive. It's there for the cases you mention. e.g. [str(x) for x in range(100) if x%2 is 0] VS map(lambda x: str(x), filter(lambda x: x%2 is 0, range(100)))

   Yeah absolutely, but such is to be expected from industries being transformed. All those small retailers, middlemen and most of record label employees are out of the job with or without copyright, itunes and Amazon kill them just as well.

   What makes you so sure it's harmful? There is hardly enough data yet at a systemic level to prove that argument. You can maybe intuitively say (as many do) that artists not getting paid will obviously result in less incentive to create and

   MySQL has it's own query cache, if that is what he means he should just increase the query cache size really.

    They didn't rip off their application, I think that was a different company from Seattle not Boulder... and that wasn't really a bad thing to do either BTW. Seed investment for equity is hardly a new business model nor was it invented by YC

    If what the article says its true they're releasing the actual code, no need to clone yourself. In theory, it means increased distribution for app developers since their code would be easily ported to any site that implements the platform c

    It would obviously go up or stay the same, following your logic. Even if the proportion of good programmers out of CS programs decreases there is no reason the real total number would go down. [edit] If anything, the new influx of intereste

    I understand what the core functionality of Facebook involves, the fact that you must join does not make it "closed" at least by any reasonable definition that affects developers. Also the amount of control Microsoft has over developers and

    I've said this before and I'll say it again. The whole "walled garden" meme is, at best, uninformed. It has an open API (has had one for a long time), it is an open platform (anyone can write apps, any language). What walls are you referrin

    who are these people that keep saying that Facebook is the next google? in what respect is it supposedly the next google? In that they are attracting a lot of talent? Then sure, I guess. In that they are, or will be, businesses of the same

    >"laptops have always had 80% of speed at 120% of the cost." Where do you get this from? I have the impression that the price difference has been decreasing.

    The chance that the mistake would happen today in particular is what makes it not the simplest explanation. That also wouldn't explain why the comment would appear on pg's comments thread.

    I don't see why most of the people here would have any problem criticizing apple. Like say, on all their evil attempts at music industry domination, restrictive apis and what not. We do admit they make some sexy hardware tough.

    thank you for that completely anecdotal evaluation of apple's hardware. My personal experience has been different, however, unless you have some kind of defects-per-million data or some such, I'll stick with what I said, it mostly comes d

    I'd recommend a macbook for linux, precisely for the superior hardware to price ratio, but many aspects of how you define superiority come down to personal preference I guess. My point only was that lenovo+windows and mac+osx aren't the onl

    You know there is also this new OS called Linux. Reportedly works great on apple hardware too... And also, yes, many people buy apple machines for the hardware.

    I don't see why there would be a lot. Client libs usually take care of that. I don't know what these guys are doing here.
