When you play in big business level, except from marketing statements, there's no such thing as open. In this context, open was touted by Google as an advantage over iOS just to get mind share. Give them time and they'll tear this notion ap

A delusion is a belief held with strong conviction despite superior evidence to the contrary.[1] Unlike hallucinations, delusions are always pathological (the result of an illness or illness process).[1] As a pathology, it is distinct from

I never directed my comment to Python. That because what I said serves to any language, from C to Python, and including ObjC, Pascal, JS, Ruby, etc. From WP: In computer science, functional programming is a programming paradigm that treats

Just because someone keeps hitting his fingers instead of nails, doesn't mean a hammer is not a good tool. In other words, it is the programmer who leaks state, not the language.

Assault is a loaded word to describe a honest observation based on a needless graphic picture you painted. You might not need help to sort out your anger issues. But you certainly need some work on your politeness skills. Here's a tip on th

I think we didn't have computers in the era you're referring to. I was talking about the seventies. I gave you clues about that when I talked about the memory management functions and waterfall. Anyway, you seem to have some anger managemen

No need, let me explain. Back in the day men had hair in their chests, programmers wrote their own alloc()/dealloc(), and managers believed waterfall would solve all problems, production used to measured by line count. That notion still go

That was too easy. Money! Politicians don't care about small to medium businesses, only big. I guess you know where I'm heading... They only care about big businesses not for the jobs, but for the under the table revenue they provide. They

Politicians focusing on social benefits instead of new sources of growing revenue, like startups. In my opinion EU politians do too much when we the people know better what we need. I don't mind paying taxes as long as they don't keep me fr

Google is the new Apple just as once Apple was the new Microsoft. This is not an evil conspiracy. It's just companies working to increase their market/mind share.

So here's the problem: average users hardly change default settings. On a side note, I understand the economics of ads. But lately they have become increasingly annoying, and most of the time they're badly targeted. Fix that and I'll stop b

Exactly. But from this ridiculous scenario one good thing could have happened. We wouldn't have Discover magazine.

Please don't refrain yourself of posting things like this because jerks poninted their snarky guns at you, just ignore them. By doing that you achieve two great things. First, you help people who genuinely need your caring comments on real

This guy is only making noise asking us to let go anything cool we've been working for years to improve his 2013's headlines. Don't fall for it. One thing hthe OP surely got is the title of the worst article of 2012. The year is almost over

Don't. Just don't. Do you think Da Vinci would've painted just with oil because people think real painters work just with that? No he didn't, and so you shouldn't too. Don't limit yourself just to blindly comply to some silly idea. Use ever

Disappointing is to see this type of comment in a forum like this. Isn't this supposed to be Hacker News? Quit complaining, get the code, make it work, commit it back to the repo, write about it, and post here. That's the hacker way. BTW,

When I was about your age I went through a similar conundrum. I quit coding, and started to learn graphic design to become somewhat successful at this new endeavor. Would I do it again if I had the chance? Hell no! Sure I love to have had a

Thanks for your reply. I was considering using wxPython for my next project. But this licensing leans me towards Pyside+Qt.
