This is exactly what Python does, and while Python isn't the fastest language around, it's not that slow either, when compared to other dynamically typed, interpreted languages.

Amazon is paying VAT in the EU, but the last time I checked, the tax wasn't quite in the hundreds of percents. This is just Amazon taking extra profit because they can, and the author is only getting paid based on the $0.99 and $2.99 price

The prices are $3.44 and $5.74 for me (when logged into Amazon US). That's a nice +250% price hike for us Europeans!

I don't know anyone who's said that Finnish is an easy language to learn. In fact, I think it's generally considered one of the hardest languages in the world (along with Hungarian, which has similar grammar). You are right, though, that th

I think the implication is, that increased market share means that third party developers will pay more attention to the platform and develop more and better apps.

How on earth does consumption tax have anything to do with "shared sacrifice"? Consumption tax wrecks the purchasing power of the poor (who spend pretty much 100% of their income on taxed goods) and doesn't have any effect on the purchasing

Sure, except that even Kindles that are wi-fi only had to pay the extra $2, not to mention those reading only on the PC or mobile app. It was a stupid system, but as I said, they are fortunately phasing the whole thing out now, and many boo

This specific complaint is about Amazon though. Even if a publisher sets the exact same price for every region, Amazon sometimes adds their own "Whispernet tax" of about $2 + VAT. They seem to be gradually phasing it out now, but for the lo

Haskell has definitely been the most rewarding programming language to learn for me personally. It's fairly unique in many ways, and really forces you to think in functional terms (unlike many other functional languages, which make it easy

+1 for Pragmatic Thinking and Learning. A great book from which everyone can benefit in some way, IMHO.

Here's my attempt at implementing the same functionality in Haskell: https://gist.github.com/1062472 I tried to make it short, but still somewhat readable, so it's not completely "golfed".

This is my thoughts exactly. I'm happy with my salary because it enables me to live comfortably and purchase the things that I want. What other people make doesn't directly factor into it at all (not withstanding the fact that prices usuall

Depends on the contract. Over here (Finland) it's very common to have a three months "trial period", during which both the employer and employee are free to terminate the contract at (practically) any point and for any reason. However, afte

Wow. I hadn't realized that syntax like "for a[::i] in" is valid Python. Attribute assignment (for x.foo in) seem to work too. I'm not sure if there will ever be any reason to use those in real code, but it's nice trivia to know for Python

The 70-30 cut alone might be acceptable, but what makes it ludicrous is that the developer is forced to offer the in-app purchase option for external services like Instapaper, which are not in any way tied to the iOS platform. I mean, what'

Triple of zero is still zero. The open letter states that their current share is 30%. Apple would essentially get 100% of their profits.
