Why? Getting past the normal corporate mumbo jumbo, what did you see in the companies that piqued your interest? Was it a talent acquisition? Do you actually see these technologies being integrated with existing adobe technologies (specif

The AT&T 3gs crowd joined in June 2009, and many of them (myself included) are just out of contract and waiting to upgrade to the new phone. I think there's plenty of demand, especially if its not an ATT or verizon

This happens for products as well. There was a controversy with FTD over flowers because the discount was based on the full prices, but the normal prices shown on the website was a sale price.

For some non-German examples, take toyota (japanese) or kia (korean) or ferrari (italy) or land rover (britain). Also, daimler sells way more cars in europe, although they are really stripped down compared to the US equivalents (and they al

Are you normalizing the execution time across languages? For example, when they introduced java, the USACO assumed that java code would run 5 times as slow as equivalent C code (so they would give 1 sec for C and 5 secs for java)

At this point: there's enough vested interest in seeing Uzi Nissan win that he wouldn't step down (and yes I donated some of my AllAdvantage revenue to the cause) And Nissan Motors can't be too happy that nissan.com criticizes the motor com

They've been taking donations http://www.digest.com/Donations.php I would guess that nissan motors didnt actually want to shell out 1M to buy the name. They probably offered a paltry sum, which Uzi rejected, and then tried pulling a digi

No offense, but I think it's kinda strange that you would ask why before you actually looked at the link ... EDIT: it appears the comment I was replying to was deleted, but it essentially asked Why and was subsequently edited with a remark

If you add an `l` to the account name, you get j(petrol)sky :P Though it begs the question: is HN significant enough in other circles that the oil/gas industry would care?

I was giving you a hard time. I don't think there's a significant percentage of people in finance for any reason other than money. I am utterly fascinated with the capital markets and many aspects of finance. The returns reflect a true un

As a person in Wall Street who isn't in it just for the money, I resent your remark.

There was a time, as late as 5 to 10 years ago, where people were needed in the process. Nowadays, the same motions are being repeated because those people don't want to lose their jobs. And they are sufficiently low cost (250K is paltry

Here's what probably happened: 1) Chamath talked with airbnb, and he felt that he was scoffed or otherwise disregarded 2) Chamath talked with Reid Hoffman, and both concur on the matter 3) Reid and others talk with AirBNB but the airbnb p

Has anyone done a real break-even analysis on these cars (based on real life performance numbers), including maintenance costs and assuming various fuel prices? Even with subsidies, my hybrid-driving friends end up shelling out more money

The key is to choose the right products to advertise. Most products and services will not see results using facebook ads. Of the people I've talked with, it seems that advertisements for alcoholic beverages and local food joints have the m

Some people write assuming that 8 spaces and tabs are interchangeable. I can change my habits but cant change others. And in those cases, I have to set my tab width to 8 spaces to read it properly. I'm not condoning it -- but you have to

Myth: "You cannot safely mix tabs and spaces in Python." In fact, you can mix 8 tabs with spaces in CPython (and do wacky stuff like def f(): <tab><8 spaces>x=3 <4 spaces><tab><4 spaces>y=3 <8 spa

tabs are interpreted as exactly 8 spaces, and oftentimes people set editors to use less than 8 spaces

in CPython (at least, on my mac) mixing tabs and 8 spaces works perfectly fine. try it out!

by veyron 15y ago
It's not really discussed in the PEP but in fact python treats the tab at the same indentation level as 8 spaces. You can mix tabs and 8 spaces without impunity Check http://ideone.com/VIwf4 for an example. Basically, it shows that pyth

This is awesome! I see this replacing my normal pastebin/ideone workflows ... One comment: in python, technically tabs are equivalent to 8 spaces, but in your REPL it is equivalent to 4 spaces. Is that a modification to the version of pyt
