The Worlds concept, as far as I can tell, is actually more general than STM and what you described Where in my comment did I describe Worlds in a limited way? I just gave one small example of one possible application of them, in reply to

You're missing the point. Here's the basic transaction paradigm for remote resources: try: remote_resource.start_transaction() #dostuff remote_resource.commit() except e: remote_resource.rollback()

Dumping the current state with deepcopy is probably prohibitively expensive for real world use. Toss in some copy-on-write, and I think you've got something simple and usable...

Don't worry, my comment was intended to be fun. Apologies if that didn't come across.

Standard British usage is punctuation inside only if part of the quotation itself The period is a part of the quotation itself.

Ignoring that it's not actually a sentence: 3. Use a pair of commas in the middle of a sentence to set off clauses, phrases, and words that are not essential to the meaning of the sentence. Use one comma before to indicate the beginning of

While we're being pedantic assholes: I was with him until he said, "I could care less." Couldn't , dammit, COULD NOT . This irks me to no end. http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/577/01/ http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.

He would probably love nothing more than to get sued by Apple, honestly.

I have developer sandbox access, but I haven't seen anything about this rollout, nor have I gotten any invites to hand out. If/when I do, I'd be happy to share a few here.

So you're saying your mind isn't blown? Hmm, might have to start shaving my head...

as far as I know they already are for some categories. The fact that CL is already doing the thing that Godin just descended from the sky to tell us CL should do is, to you, evidence that this isn't 'unbelievably weak'? Will you start re

Gosh, all that sounds amazing. Let me blow your minds, though: what if CL cost two dollars? This is unbelievably weak. Godin's not exactly on a hot streak right now, is he?

I guess my point in saying he's not a people person is to reiterate that folks should just kind of ignore him when he says something like this. Getting personally offended by a Richard Stallman comment is like getting personally offended b

Have you met Richard Stallman? Not exactly a people person, anyways :) To be clear, I have nothing but mad respect for Stallman, even though my personal beliefs differ from his. He can be extreme sometimes, but his firm adherence to his b

After looking at the actual site, the worst thing about it turns out to be the logo. Seriously, the two squids holding tentacles is one of the most disturbing SFW images I've seen in a while. Anyways, I don't see anything about this that's

Do MS have history of vaporous hardware announcements? No, they have a history of promising breakthrough innovation and then woefully underdelivering.

You're right, I misread it as "The prisoners get the Warden to label the boxes randomly", with the same implicit assumption as anigbrowl, that the prisoners don't have enough information beforehand to assign an order to the boxes.

It was a funny reference to Federer blowing it against his final opponent at this year's US Open, despite dominating the whole tournament.

I'm all for thinking outside the box, but the whole point of a puzzle is to set up a set of constraints and work your way from there. The solution to #1 seems to contradict that spirit - without spoiling it, it's true the description didn'

That's not what they're saying, though, at least not since they started posting these essays after the Mint sale. They've been talking as though taking a giant payday is somehow morally wrong, that it's backing down and giving up some kind

by calambrac 17y ago
I know what you're alluding to, I'm just saying it's an arbitrary distinction. There's absolutely no reason taking a giant payday from a single source is somehow inferior to taking money from thousands of customers in terms of your persona

Unless you're the government and can just print as much as you want. Yeah, ask Zimbabwe how that's working out. you can chose to do interesting stuff that will make you money while you work for the man. I don't think that's the point th

My big problem with this whole "FU" money concept, and your thought I quoted above, is that people seem to think they need to get this opportunity from someone else. That makes no sense. Of course you need to get that opportunity from so

I instinctively disagree with the first point (and completely agree with the second, but regardless, I don't think a card with a number makes for an open invite), but then again, I don't cold call a lot of folks. The idea that someone woul

I completely agree that you shouldn't be handing out business cards with your phone number if you don't want calls, but regardless, I stand by the belief that phone calls should be reserved for people you actually know want to be called, an

Why would anyone answer the phone from a random number? You go to voicemail, then the person either ignores it or listens just long enough to get the name of the person they need to put on the shit list. Don't call, especially someone who

WTF is wrong with you? That was one of the most informative comments I've ever seen on this site. There was a ton of useful information in there, way more than the short little guide in the OP (which I'm not knocking at all).

Brad Fitzpatrick needs to prove he cares about the web? To Dave Winer? This is ridiculous.
