Re: [Ilugc] How to make ILUGC list user friendly?
Ok; my 2 paise 1. There is an opinion that the list needs to be 'friendly' for some values of that term 2. It appears that many newcomers `will' not know some things that all seasoned users take for granted: eg: top posting, asking poorly framed questions, all caps 3. Many people believe that such newcomers should be educated and that they are actually being scared away by the type of answers that are given 4. Many people (often those who do answer such queries) believe that the simple, direct, rude, blunt, offensive (Choose your pick) answer is the best way. 5. Many people (often those that do not answer queries) are going on record questioning the style of such answers 6. The defenders of newcomers are almost taking the view that we can educate the newcomers ONLY after answering the questions. 7. I almost 'hear' an undertone of If you try to educate them any other way they will be lost to the community 8. The seasoned users opine that in order to be a member of any group one has to first understand the rules of that group. Else the group will first ask you to do that before responding to your needs. My stance: If you want to be part of the group that nurtures the newcomers please do so. The people who answer questions will not (cannot, should not) stop you. You can explain to and educate the new comers about the expected behaviour on the list and deprecate the attitude of the answers as part of such mails. But do not start send mails whose only purpose is criticizing and educating those who answer. -- Asokan Pichai *---* We will find a way. Or, make one.

When you run the test suite basically, the intention is to know that you haven't inadvertently broken something that you thought was unrelated by your latest changes. One of the reasons I added the `ill-defined' in my post. This seems an interesting problem though. --One does want to ensure that a change has not broken anything, but can that be done by ONLY testing where a breakage is possible? Sounds really hard problem to solve. The purpose of TDD is not to check if anything has broken in the app. That's the purpose of unit/developer testing in general. Running the whole test suite every time you add/modify a test is going to be seriously time-consuming (which refers to my 20-sec lag). TDD's purpose on the other hand is to allow the discovery of the most simplified/testable interface to your app. In other words, TDD is more about application design than reliability. Of course, it ends up helping the latter anyway. Yeah; TDD is not just regression testing. But using such labels which were defined in a context where coders wrote code and testers tested that code is one of the areas of some confusion in the understanding of TDD at least to me, for a time. I tend to think of TDD as exploratory development and best suited for those situations when part of the solution is NECESSARY for defining the problem itself and/or the exact approach to solution is yet unclear.

The style of programming changes fundamentally once you accept that a data structure is immutable. Given that python is a multi-paradigm language with a pronounced pragmatism towards the various paradigms (others see it as Python's OO is not well-designed etc) the issue of mutability has been approached in the same way. IOW, immutability would commit to complete functional approach a la Haskell. or make it more functional than the BDFL wanted. But it is very interesting to write code in the pure functional style; I have returned to my periodic wrestling with Haskell and this time around I find it easier and I have come to appreciate the elegance and 'simplicity' that results.

Re: [Ilugc] Wireless USB Broadband provider in and around Chennai
I have used Tata Photon and Reliance and both at the same point of time so I can compare. Both worked reasonably well. But the Tata device consistently gave better speed and robust connection. Reliance dropped fairly often; while the Tata almost never. I used it on a Mac and on a Linux Machine (Ubuntu, wvdial) CAVEAT This is based on my usage in Chennai only. /CAVEAT But in one respect Reliance is in my blacklist. Their service at the service centers is abyssmal. I needed copies of old bills and they simply said We cannot give you. (This is not the only one reason). Finally I surrendered my Reliance data card in mid-Sep. That required a bit of song and dance finally I did it. For one week after that I was called up by higher and higher (in their own words) level folks from Reliance asking why. I had to repeatedly tell them to refer to my detailed letter. After that stopped, the calls for over-due bills -- for October started--I am routinely called two-three times a week and everyone is so unsurprised at the fact I have surrendered the card and still getting bugged and billed. I am hoping to fix it when I visit Chennai, but based on past meetings at the Besant Nagar Reliance Center it wont be easy. SIGH -- Asokan Pichai *---* We will find a way. Or, make one.
