I agree with a lot of these points. To get around them I created https://github.com/c11z/python-mk which is a make file that contains the seed of a python development environment. It uses docker containers to get around most of the issues this article brings up.
I started my career as a 28 year old college dropout doing data entry for a small surf and skate ecommerce company in 2012. I never finished any of the MOOC courses I started, but their availability helped me get my first internship, which has lead to me being a successful backend engineer in SF. I especially credit the original Coursera database class and Udacity's web development in python.
Has anyone found a video of this keynote?
Completely ridiculous. What about the wheels?
Additional productivity gains might be made by operating the "indoor farm" within dense urban areas and thus closer to the consumer, thereby removing transportation costs associated with a typical farm.
I love the last item in the FAQ,
I am a frequentist. Can I still join Bayes Impact?
I don't know exactly how it works, but the page shows animations over the ticket information, these could be customizable or rotated during the event by the event organizer making them very difficult to fake.
I really like this idea and I appreciate that the terms of service should be written in lawyerese but I would like a more plainspoken explanation about how the licensing works. It would give me a lot more confidence if I were a person who wanted to use one of these pictures for commercial purposes. I would also like the option of requesting a liberal creative commons license. I would love to be able to commission drawings that everyone could use.
I always thought plugin incompatibility was really more about moving from python 2.7.x to 3.x. This is a fairly huge problem that the python community is just starting to get traction on and I am glad to see ST taking the more difficult but ultimately correct upgrade path.
I am a physics major, so I have had a informal introduction into programming. I started with C++ and then moved to python. Reading hackernews has perked my interested in Lisp, and I was unaware of any conflicts between supporters of the two languages.
Trackpoints are awesome simply because the state of non mac touch pads is so terrible.
