macarthy12··on How to sell an app idea?

macarthy12··on Intro to Pandas data structures
Pandas is great, nice write up.

One thing I do have a issue with in pandas is the type conversion on sparse data, i.e. a column with missing values. It's a pity you can convert that to a float for example.

Nice website, concept etc. But how do you expect to deliver this? What codecs, what p2p technologies, how are you going deal with discovery, encryption etc? Where is your team?

Why should you get 1/2 million dollars?

macarthy12··on Ask HN: In 2016, will Rails & Django be competitive against newer technologies?
Sounds interesting. Love to see it when you release it, better yet do a talk somewhere that gets on confreaks, then I'll see it!

It seems like a conf worthy talk.

macarthy12··on Lmctfy: Google's Linux application container stack
Great some competition for Docker! Which is good news for everyone (esp. Docker) Containers are the future of hosting web-apps in my opinion. They more implementations there are the better.

macarthy12··on Dropbox: A case study for Not using python
Just because you rewrite some of the slow bits in C, doesn't mean you get don't get a big win using python. I would bet the parts in C don't need to be as agile as all the other parts; the GUI, rest client etc.

So you can iterate fast, and drop to C when you need to.
