Hello Jay,
I'm a university student and I needed a simple BiGram calculation code so I googled it and I came to your blog. I decided to use your code but I need to rewrite and modify the code to adopt it into my python 3.4. I will use this code for my own educational purposes, I won't share it to my classmates and I shan't use it for any business purposes. Although, I shall rewrite and modify it, but I'll definitely put your name and your other copyright data above it. If you disagree these conditions, please consider sending me an Email to: <haa_click (at_sign)="" yahoo="" (dot_sign)="" com=""> as quickly as possible.

I don't think it's unattainable. I think the key ingredient though is having the practice the first few times around, and then access to money to go after the bigger ideas - and if your first practice rounds go well then you'll have the money needed..

I'm a huge fan of Elon. We definitely need more people like him. I wish I could be like him, but he's just so exceptionally good. He's such an overwhelmingly positive exception .. but unfortunately, by definition means that there'll be very few people like him.

It will be people like Elon Musk who have a holistic understanding, a future vision of needs that need to be met, and have access to resources because of their own previous successes that will allow the best technologies and systems to be developed.

Re: Django: Querying datetime aware objects in your local timezone

Ah yes, you're right. Copy + paste error on my part. Thanks for pointing it out! :)

Re: Django: Querying datetime aware objects in your local timezone

Hey, thanks for the code. However, aware_start_time should be n1 and end_time n2.

Glad I could help! Actually, now that you've mentioned it, I'm going to put my final thoughts as a "TLDR" at the top.

Very useful stuff Jay. Not only have I managed to stop my instance EBS being deleted on termination (note that the exception no longer occurs with 1.6.1.3 2012-07-20) but you helped clarify the value of AWS in your final thoughts. And I am actually going to buy Jeff Barr's book.

Re: Ways to monetize your startup + a business meta-idea

Good post. I think the concepts also apply to people looking at Freemium pricing models.

At http://www.kickofflabs.com we don't just look at our free plan as a way to grow - we look at all the ways that growth adds more value to our paid plans. :)

Re: Gauging maturity — telling the boys from the men

adult to child: "your idea is stupid"
It would be immature of the child to treat the adult as a peer and ask "really? Why do you think so?" A more mature response would be something along the lines of "well, I guess your right...but could you point out where I'm wrong"

Re: A change in direction: Python, Django, and Google App Engine

pip010 — Thu, 07 Jul 2011 12:28:28 -0000

Thanks for the tip of focusing on django first GAE second:)

is see it is quite an old post but two things for up the moment about GAE:
1 - recently google started tweaking pricing and thus messing with peoples plan/model of scale per price

2 - python is not only native to jango but GAE itself, that is it is made in distributed sandbox execution of python scripts. at that moment pyhon (although cheaper than Java) doesn't come with support for threads. something Java devs can certainly enjoy!

Hey,

Thanks for the help. Your solution didn't work for me but it led me in the right direction. I had to use "yum install python-devel" instead.

Awesome insights Jay. Glad to see how much you learned in just 48 hours. It's the amazing phenomenon that's keeping our head down in figuring out how to scale this event up and bring it to the masses.
