I've found quite the opposite; my experience with Python users has been consistently personable. If anything, the party line seems to be "this is the way we do things, if you like what you see, come on in, if not, no worries". I mean, this

Are you saying this because you can't monkey-patch literals? Because you can very much monkey-patch everything else in Python.

Why do you need lambdas to do this? Why wouldn't an inline function work?

You're comparing apples an oranges. PHP is no more sane than classic ASP. They're both pretty awful.
815.
by tghw 17y ago
PHP is somehow a more sane language than classic ASP? They are contemporaries of each other, and both were pretty popular in their day. PHP has continued, while ASP has been replaced by something significantly better than either. P.S. If th

Fog Creek didn't really rewrite anything. In fact, that was the whole point of Wasabi, to not rewrite anything. Wasabi did extend VBScript to add objects and other language features, which were gradually incorporated into the code base, but

It's quite a stretch to paint him as a victim here. If he'd needed the money, that would be one thing. But he took unnecessary loans to do speculative, risky investing. Sure, the "system" should have known better, but so should he. I was al

I don't disagree, but that doesn't absolve him of responsibility. He is as much a perpetrator of this as the banks are. If he'd needed the money, that would be one thing, but he took unnecessary loans to do speculative, risky investing.

In some cases, I can agree with you. There are predatory practices that shouldn't even be legal. But this guy went out and borrowed $100k to put directly into risky investments. He also bought four houses at zero down, maximizing his risk o

They are patenting MapReduce. Seems pretty specific to me.

It's because they already have that technology. It's called the telephone.

Do you have sources? Specifically, they're saying you don't need a voice plan at all, just data, so they'd be using only VOIP, which Google Voice supports. No where are they saying that GV is only VOIP.
824.
by tghw 17y ago
Can you actually use VOIP over their network, or just over WiFi?
825.
by tghw 17y ago
From the article: "Google will push full VOIP usage on these, meaning no voice/sms plans needed at any carrier. Voice calls will go through Google Voice on Data SIM cards and will provide unlimited free voice calling. And SMS is replaced by

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! wipes a tear Seriously, VOIP, over US carriers? Yeah, they'll let that happen...

Contractually, perhaps not, but both sides stated multiple times that they were working together, which would be enough for him to not want to slander his partner.

In this case, he is clearly an entrepreneur writing about his venture. To think that his writing is anything approaching journalism is simply naive.

by tghw 17y ago
Seems pretty obvious. He had a partnership with Fusion Garage, why would he air their dirty laundry? It's not like he did anything to hide the relationship between FG and TC.

So, you're saying that by extending Opera in some way you can get it to do this? Because it definitely doesn't do that by default. I don't think my Opera install could get any defaultier, and I'm not seeing it.

by tghw 17y ago
See, it's the smugness people don't like. Seriously though, I just fired up Opera (v. 9.63 - I never use Opera) and it does not have this behavior. Tabs resize as son as they are closed, from the left, middle, and right. So in addition to b

OpenCV has a lot of what you'd need to do this sort of thing and also has pretty decent Python bindings. http://opencv.willowgarage.com/wiki/PythonInterface

If I'm reading those two files correctly, he's trying to use BeautifulSoup, but doesn't ever import it from anywhere... I think the snotty kid/poor fool was right, this is poor code.

Wow, what a useless article. "Early" adopters experiencing bugs?! Clearly the author must be new to "early" adopting. (Why he uses quotes for "early" I don't really understand.)

I don't know why you're getting modded down. That was an awesome story! EDIT: Do I really have to put sarcasm tags in here?

In my experience, Computer Engineering is a combination of EE and CS, producing someone equally capable (assuming equal interest) of writing low level systems and designing logic circuits. Software Engineering is more of what Joel is descri
