This. I work in retail and have for a while. My mother has for most of her life, and this practice is not new for the retail level of the job market.

How do you find OOP in python awkward? Out of curiosity.

So glad I JB. Because I'm using this.

I have severe asthma, when I have an attack that will last for hours this used to be how I would describe what it's like during that time. I loathe those periods when I can't think, process a thought correctly or function like I do when I'm just breathing like normal.

I can't imagine going through this every second of my day for as long you do did. And in comparison those few hours when I can't breathe and I'm waiting for my medicine to work feel like a blessing in the sense that it could very much worse like what you experienced. Wow.

The items in question are still there, it's just the name itself that is getting formatted.

Side note: Why are the post that are giving apple the benefit of the doubt of this being a mistake getting downvoted? Really guys?

I stumbled across this incredible article reading Jeff Atwood's now-apparently-controversial post on that subject I'm avoiding like the plague.

Back to the point, it basically summarizes what I tell all of my friends who gain an interest and want to learn fast. I've been learning for over a decade out of interest now since I was 12 and I will never refer to myself as anything other than marginally competent. I akin programming to math in the sense that the ceiling is not really there because there is always more to learn and thats what the majority of your (programming) life is spent doing.

Are we talking content abuse? It's in their ToS if we are. Not entirely sure how effective they're going to be at monitoring malicious content, but it's there.

I just hate having unecessary cruft personally. I need to organize everything

I'm going to take a wild guess that a large bulk of those 8K+ emails needs to be sent straight to the trash.

Prob the age old reason because it's what most programmers end up using throughout their buisness life. Always been my guess anyway

Hi, it's called filters that take 2 seconds to setup.

Everyone learns differently, so hey to each their own. I dabbled for years throught my HS life in php, but when it came time to actually learn I was completely put off by my first intro to CS course that used the aforementioned 'Dive head first w/ C++!' method and left the course, and was one of 18 to do so.

Started learning python on my own around age 19 and everything just skyroketed from there. I'm much more comfortable using( saying that lightly ) C++ these days but I can't imagine ever recommending it to even an enemy as their first language.

An aquaintenance on a board somewhere put it best, " C++ is like a hurricane. Gorgeous but incredibly destructive". Personally I think it all looks hideous but I get the point now.

Thought the article was going to be a question as to why. But I wholeheartedly agree as to why Python is a great forst language.

The simple fact that it's syntax light will always be the #1 reason it's a great introduction. Worry about the syntactical hangups once you have the core concepts of programming down.

I never understood those CS courses that have you diving in blind with C++

I'm one of those people who when I learn anything, I take hand written no matter what it is. I've even had language books tell me, " You probably won't need to do this" and I make sure to add it in anyway. And when that 1% time comes, my first reaction is always to the clear and detailed description that I myself wrote down. This has happened several times, ( a lot when I was getting my feet wet in server administration ). As someone who like to learn ot all no matter how out of context for the enviornment, I much prefer when stuff like this happens. I'd rather know how to do something as a just in case, then panic because I don't know something at all.

I don't understand your stance on family time vs skill set? My day to day is usually like this: Get up, shower, pick up my house, go to work for 8 hours, come home where I make dinner and invariably end up cleaning my kitchen. Then i sit down with my boyfriend and just do whatever so that we're spending time together.

This past weekend I managed to pick up a book on Go and hoping to deploy something through appengine by the end of week. If you want something, you find the time.

And I work 48 hours a week minimum.

For as big as Google is, I doubt these all came from the same singular department.

It was a poor choice of words on my part, what I meant was; Everyone who does want one. I can understand under an artist viewpoint ( Ideally I would really like apps in the area to improve ) but you can easily get that in a touchscreen laptop. This just from my own personal use of my tablet but from most things I can see where I could care to use one I just ibstinctevely reach for my laptop.

Not trying to start a debate on stylus use, I'm sure those who use them with a tablet very good reasons for doing so. In my own personal life and opinion, I just don't see the need.

I really agreed with a lot of this article (but not all) but really couldn't get past the juvenile way in which it was written the entire time I was reading.

I dont't personally understand everyone's need for a stylus. I hear this complaint from time to time, and with how intuitive apple's keyboard is on the iPhone/iPad ( really its the only one I can remotely stand. And yes it's far from perfect) I just don't see much of a need. If I was taking handwritten notes in class id be carrying around a notebook.

"We're sorry, but The Google Puzzle was designed with the browser Google Chrome in mind. As a result, it MAY not work in your current browser."

And below that:

"-> Enter Anyway"

Some users are getting locked out of their entire google accounts, not just G+. That's the difference.

"To help fight spam and prevent fake profiles, use the name your friends, family or co-workers usually call you." And this is what bothers me about this whole ordeal. Google's playing a stupidly dangerous ( in regards to making people want to use their services ) game of determining whats a "real" name before we're asked of all things to show our ID? That's a little absurd for a social networking client.

We get why you're doing this, you're fighting this the wrong way.

Interesting. Not sure why this on the front page unless I'm missing something very important, but interesting

>gnome-terminal or konsole? These are my killer apps. And I won't use other platforms because they don't have them.

So wait, is it your love of these specific terminal emulators or of the shell?

OSX has terminal.app

This just reeks of arrogance

Agreed @ the understatement.

I'm not sold on this being one gigantic government conspiracy. I wouldn't doubt the existence of this being one giant social engineering tactic, but something in the back of my head tells me otherwise. I stand by the belief however that this group is just further enabling the US and other nations to take actions against internet freedom by their tactics against it.

No one is infallible, it's only a matter of time until they slip up. They're making a rather large footprint

That never gets old

I just realized that I'm agreeing with you and COMPLETELY misread your comment earlier. I apologize

This keeps getting regurgitated on a daily basis, and I don't think the people saying it are even aware of the disruption on a person's daily life that results from this.

I'll agree that as a whole security on the net is lousy, but drastic measures like this are an equally lousy method of dealing with it. No one should be surprised when laws get passed that limit freedoms on the internet in response to these actions. Cause and effect.

Because it's so hard to just remove it and install your own. No OS I use comes by default with my browser of choice as of late( actually I think Archbang does come with Chromium preinstalled ). Comments like this are ridiculous
