OK, so once you have launched a company, and survived past those scary first couple years, you no longer qualify? I ask because I founded a startup in '96, and we still try to "think like a startup". Just because we've…
It seems to me that there could be a version of Python that is solely optimized for speed, and allows full compilation. I haven't given this a great deal of thought, but I bet that if you defined a subset of the…
I was a regular contributor to Techcrunch comments (and not a troll), but I haven't commented once since they moved to Facebook comments. And I won't. This Techcrunch article is the first one in a week or more that I…
Gimp Screen capture and print.
Pretty cool! Not to be pedantic (I hate that word), but in the spirit of improvement, you may want to spell check your popups. (example: "<bdi> Text that is seperated from directional formatting of its…
I agree (except for the part where you wanted to down-vote me). I wasn't trying to say it was their fault. It was more a comment about other comments, not about the django guys. I love django. But I also I can't wait…
On the contrary, sometimes "out of the box" thinking by a non-expert is exactly the lightning bolt from out of nowhere that can cause a breakthrough.
You can submit stories with a new account. Press submit at the top. You can also link to your site in the comments (although it better be relevant to the discussion, or you'll probably get voted down into oblivion as…
I can't believe it... not one comment telling the django guys to quit celebrating and get back to work on a version that supports Python 3? :-) Seriously, Adrian, Jacob, and the django team, I love your product. I…
You may want to take a look at Pinax to get a HUGE head start on a django-based web app. (http://pinaxproject.com ) And since installing Pinax auto-installs django 1.2 (currently), you may want to stick with that. But…
I'm glad TC moved away from Discus and moved to the facebook commenting system. I won't ever comment there again. I was wasting far too much time on TC comments.
I think there's a Biblical parable that probably fits here - the one with the "talents". I just believe that those who are blessed in life shouldn't flush it down the toilet. A million dollars a week? Think of how many…
what tool(s) did you use to create that video? I love it! very impressive!

Anybody losing $1M PER WEEK makes you question how the fool and his money got together in the first place. Good to see at least a little justice in this world. I wouldn't wish bad things to happen to anybody, but if it…
I really like Felix's Corollary and the Millionaire's Estimation! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_72#Felix.27s_Corollary_...
"Any traditional OOP programmer might tell you that essential elements of OOP are encapsulation and message passing. The Python equivalents are namespaces and methods. Python doesn't subscribe to protecting the code…
"We're the AngelList for Developers" Ok, so now, instead of trying to figure out what one company does, I have to figure out what two companies do!
Even better Python variation: Prints 1 to 1000 and quits: from __future__ import print_function z="0123456789" map(print,map(lambda x: int("".join(x))+1,zip(sorted(z*100), sorted(z*10)*10, z*100))) The way it works is…
How about this Python solution: z="0123456789" print map(lambda x:int("".join(x))+1,zip(sorted(zip(*z)[0]*100), sorted(zip(*z)[0]*10)*10, zip(*z)[0]*100)) Only downside is that it prints as a list (so it has the format…
Here's a solution in Python, using pretty much the same logic as the top vote-getter on Stack Overflow: def f(a): print a print a+1 {999: int}.get(a,f)(a+2) f(1) Note, I had to count by twos, because when I counted by…
Very cool stuff! I'd love to see an example as to how you'd integrate that into a Python/Django project.
Very true. And in fact, all things considered, I believe we are both doing pretty well now, separately. So you could say that all's well that ends well. My business with the 3rd partner has lasted far longer than the…
I would say that he was Steve, I was Chris. Although one of those names is actually one of our names, and incorrectly assigned. He is the best pure software developer I have seen ever. He could crank code like no one I…
I'll tell you what NOT to do. Don't think of him as the first one on the hiring list! I had my pair programming soulmate as early as age 15, back in the very early PC days (mid-to-late 70's). We ended up working…
