The most amazing thing about this for me was that YouTube reports that there were only 152 views when I watched it, and zero comments. And the link has 7 points on HN, Yet this link made it to the front page of HN (currently the 8th highe

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 been profitable for

I signed up for facebook, friended no one that didn't friend me and that I didn't know personally, told no one about my account, and have a folder of facebook spam in my email box that already has 40 messages in about 2 months. Facebook

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 language that is Python-lik

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 have read the comments

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 surroundings." ... should be

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 for the day when we c

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 spam!)

@CaptainObvio.us: There's always room for another great site about ideas, but check out halfbakery.com. You might get some ideas from their site. It's good, not great, but has an active user base.

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 actually just bought a S

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 if you aren't using

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 people could have b

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 has to happen to som

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)))

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 (s

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 wh

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 typical small business
