I use Sensodyne for the same reason — it's a widely available toothpaste that doesn't have SLS.

Thanks for that link, looks like that API was created after I started the project using BigQuery.

It's still labeled "experimental" though, which makes me a bit wary to use it just yet.

You're arguing that it's good to (intentionally) break with common code idioms for certain classes of libraries??

Also, have you actually seen the auto-generated APIs he's referring to?

Here are the Godocs for the BigQuery API: https://godoc.org/google.golang.org/api/bigquery/v2

Here's some example code demonstrating the API's bad habits -- such as deeply nested struct pointers, and Do() methods everywhere: https://github.com/google/google-api-go-client/blob/master/e...

A lot of people are not free to decide that. Go has become very popular in young, mid-size tech companies. Most of the alternatives you listed are too new/fringe/unproven to consider. And, well, they're not made by Google (corporate backing makes a big difference with new languages).

I'm sure most people outside that subgroup would jump at the chance to get a cheaper substitute.

Asacol HD is $600 - $700 for 90 pills: http://www.goodrx.com/asacol-hd

Clearly you haven't been apprised of the current rules. Hatred of white males is categorically not racism, because they have all the power.

Did that entail a lot of hand entry of product information? (considering that Amazon was, as you said, lacking specifications)

Did they say why?

It's an extremely useful feature in Python, and makes for more elegant APIs.

Can you elaborate on a monitor stand & arms that would work well for a setup like this?

Web library maturity aside, is the language inherently less suitable for webdev than Go?

I doubt that Misoft has sufficient resources to "lawyer up". That right is reserved to big companies with lots of money. Like Facebook.

Actually, it looks like this doc is out of date. The README on Github shows that method naming has been corrected, and CC numbers have been added: https://github.com/joke2k/faker

Awesome! I needed something just like this a couple of years ago. A couple of comments:

- I wanted fake CC numbers and SSNs/other national IDs at the time (don't remember why). I see that Faker is missing those, so they might be useful additions to the library.

- Method names should be snake_case rather than camelCase (http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/#method-names-and-in...).

I accidentally purchased a $5 app not too long ago (it was in the group of apps that were free for the 5th anniversary of the App Store). I selected the "Didn't mean to purchase this item" option in iTunes and got a refund immediately. No problem.

I'm curious about your objection to the internal homescreen approach. You're saying that showing disparate functions in a tiled layout is bad, but a linear list layout is good? I don't really follow why that's the case.

Has there been any discussion of downsides of the internal homescreen approach by professional designers that you know of?

Wait, what? Shutting down a service that has received an NSL is illegal? Source?

Anyone know where the images are coming from?

Most of them aren't pulled directly from the story. There are also copyright issues with images that make this legally tricky to pull off.

Food for thought: What is the flavor of "crushed red fruit" anyway? Cherries, strawberries, raspberries, cranberries, and tomatoes are all red. Oh, and watermelon (unless you count the outside). They don't taste very much alike.

Interesting... because I got a ThinkPad to run Ubuntu on a couple of years ago. And you know what? It was extremely unstable. It would freeze and crash maybe 20 - 25% of the time I disconnected an external display, and from time to time at random, for no good reason.

The multi-display support is also broken (the smaller display takes on same dimensions as the larger, with hidden areas of the desktop), but that's another matter.

Tried to watch this when I saw it in the Python newsletter. It seems like an interesting presentation, but the poor audio quality makes it hard to understand.

btw, why is this categorized under "podcast" and "Java"? It's not a podcast, and it's not about Java.

I think it's kind of sad that they mention "GOG.com" over and over without a hyperlink. The author links to two games on their site (Might & Magic and Night of the Rabbit), but not their home page. Why do old media companies avoid linking to sites they write about?

Yes, our summarization technology is now available as an API at the Mashape link in drakaal's post.
