There's a great (but somewhat lengthy) video tutorial[1] from Pycon US'12 that covers a lot of IPython and the Notebook. Highly recommended; it's a live demo by the authors of the tools. Seriously, IPython is the coolest thing that happened

I'm shocked at how many people here find loud environments to be totally OK, some even preferring those to quiet ones. If you are working in absolute silence and start to feel uncomfortably, you can always introduce some custom noise, be it

I don't get why the parent is being downvoted and I dislike silent knee-jerk-downvoting at HN very much. I'm absolutely orthogonal to Apple's services and devices - just never used them, and article does not seem to shed almost any lights o

What family are we talking about? Just-married or with three kids, two cars and a dog, living in a rented apartment? There aren't that many things that can support irresponsibility or chronically poor decisions. Anyway, I'd say yes, it does

The idea is not exactly new or popular (without proper moderation it inevitably turns into spammy, ads-filled swamp), and a request to log in to see more then 14 suggestions doesn't look all that inviting. Also: Great, now we are moving fr

Really? Like a relationship is something a guy can just - bang! - 'make work'. Good luck 'directing' your SO or 'driving' your marriage like a project. I feel for both of you. Despite popular notions of 'being married to one's own startup',

In no way I am encouraging to calm down, wait or try to ignore the bill. Poor choice of words on my side. I was trying to say that your right to own your email is definitely something you can try to defend. See those guys around asking for

Hello to you from the other side of the ocean! How's the weather at where you've left from? I have to admit, it is somewhat disturbing to meet you in the middle of the Atlantic, rowing just as enthusiastically as we do, just in the opposite

This is not exactly what I'm trying to understand. Is the oath enough (when we're talking about $368 million)? Will there be no investigation of what I said under oath anyway? What do you mean by 'am I willing to lie under oath'? If I'm inf
