   I find it challenging to accept the humanity of the person that thought breaking print was a jolly good thing to do.

   Would you consider putting your ideas for Python in my Python 4 project on github? https://github.com/rjurney/python4

   Open source support is not a centrally governed entity. FOSS support for Python 2.7 will continue after 2020. You will certainly still have the option of paying someone for support.

   I don't think people will migrate at all.

   Thanks for the feedback, I'll look into it. I think Python 4 is a good name because most Python users feel that Python 3 was a misstep, and never plan to move to Python 3.

   I recently started Python 4, which will be backwards compatible with 2.7. Submit your ideas as issues today! https://github.com/rjurney/python4

   Yeah, the inability to search your Twitter feed is simply infuriating. This is an embarrassingly parallel problem, so the issue isn't scale slowing the development of Search down. Twitter just doesn't give a shit.

   If they could build a social network, I would probably enjoy it being part of search. Show me links people I follow have tweeted that are related... seems like that would be a killer app.

   Hah, fair point. I just think they've gone a little too far on the greed side. No doubt as part of being public.

    I'm not disparaging those people. However, the fact is that the best and brightest give up a lot to move to the bay area and build the things that change the world.

    Just like Google. Give people no reason to use something, just put it out there, and hey "We're Google!" and they will come. Except no, they don't.

    If you don't do R&D, if you don't aspire to founding a successful startup, if you don't need to work with the smartest people on the latest tech... the Bay Area does not make sense. But if you check yes to any of those, y

    I was in product at LinkedIn, and I thought this was spot on. LinkedIn is a two-sided platform. Increasingly the revenue model undermines user engagement. To some extent, one side no longer builds the other, one subtracts from the other. Li

    This website looks great, but feels like it is from a template. I want to know which template, if you don't mind? If it is original, well more power to you! Someone should make a template of your site :)

    Actually, a lot of smart people have returned or joined Yahoo lately, since Marissa took over. And they aren't in it for a 9-5. They support a lot of great open source work, which helps them get good people.

    This, so much. Python 3 has failed in the market. A reboot is needed.

    Python 2 going away in 2020? Yeah right. Python 3 is a dead end. If they rebooted Python 4 to run Python 2, maybe Python 4 would be relevant. As it stands, Python 3 is a total disaster and will never replace 2. Trying to improve unicode han

    In highschool I carried TCP Illustrated around with me like a bible. I cherished that book. Knowledge of networks would eventually be incredibly useful throughout my career.

    This would be fine, so long as we made drugs go generic much faster. Which would require more public funding for drug research. Which would turn the system on its head.

    I'm always fascinated by scams. As entrepreneurs we look for holes in the system to fix, whereas scammers look for holes to exploit.
