For some reason, I really like this simple idea of "persistent, durable data structures".

I was at that talk. Having not done much C since college 6 or 7 years ago and only really starting Python about 3 months ago, it was very approachable and I got a lot out of it. I highly recommend it.

The tounge-in-cheek response might be the engineers that build those robots and drones.

Now, do you think that is the driver personally using square to accept card payments as it's more economical for him to manage that stuff himself rather than relying on the cab company?

If you're not too short, they usually take the cash over the card. You get a cheap ride and they don't get all pissy. I do it all the time.

I've been writing Python for maybe 3 months now and as I started digging into the OO stuff, I commented to a few developers about how it 'felt' a lot like javascript and they nearly took my head off. Is there any material you (or anyone for

Seeing how everything is opensourced, how easy is this to get up and running on an intranet? Is that at all a goal of the project?

That IS my setup at work. I've recently discovered mutt and irssi which I use for email and chat, respectively. All development happens in tmux sessions with vim. My dock contains finder, iterm2, chrome and the trashcan. If I could remove f

My biggest desire to learn a language like Haskell or Scala would be the total shift in thinking required to grasp the language (the author mentions this). I've started playing with clojure lately and even though I've barely scratched the s

This was a really bad comparison/argument for git. Anyone actually trying to decide between the two should just forget everything you've read and start with a different source. That aside, I've used both over the last 3 years (2 in git; 1 i

I immediately thought of Python's context managers when I read this. What the article appeared to describe, which shouldn't be lost on any programmer, is "do stuff then clean up after yourself".

It's like everyone figured out how hashes work just a couple of days ago. What happened to spark all of this conversation? I also keep hearing that this problem is solved with randomized hashing functions, but my best guess is that this doe

It's interesting that you bring up Javascript. I've just started working in Python full-time recently and have noticed the OOP stuff "feels" a little like working with objects in Javascript. Specifically around how the built in super works

So, there's definitely been a few discussion recently about the quality of Hacker News articles and their relevancy to the community. Is this post an indication that LOLCats are of high priority for discussion?

This has come up A LOT more than it should. There's a line immediately before the first example explaining exactly what you're looking at. It's slightly absurd to assume that's how you'd actually write those examples in javascript. The comp

The 'occupywallst' project's description reads: 'Stomping out capitalism, one line of code at a time'. Is that truly the goal; to eradicate capitalism?

We'd love some feedback and, who knows, maybe some pull requests! We do have this running in production with no major problems to report. It is, however, under pretty light load. Thanks! Edit: Check the README for a working example.

Sarcasm aside, the fact that this sort of thing is being developed at what, I'm pretty sure, most people would consider a newspaper company is pretty fascinating in and of itself.

I think you're slightly off here. As I understand it, what these states are trying to do is consider Amazon's independent affiliates a physical presence for Amazon in that state. What that means is that Amazon then becomes responsible for c

Good read and really love that assets are first-class citizens in Rails. A little off topic, but can anyone point me in the direction of some resources on the biggest changes from 3.0.x to 3.1? Working on an upgrade now and have only played

I don't think it's quite that simple. The index that google serves search query results from is a direct result of the algorithms they've applied to the data the googlebot has gathered. If by 'index' the author means the data the goolebot (

Thank you! Easily the only sane comment about aliasing. I am willing to believe that aliases like 'ga' and 'gp' would actually increase productivity if all you did all day long was manipulate a git repository or you had some physical disabi

Trivially you could still unpack it into vendor and then use the :path option when specifying it in your Gemfile.

Go's naming conventions are much more clean, respected and even enforced than in almost any other language I know (Ruby and Python are specially bad in this, but C++ and Java are not much better). Do you mind explaining this statement a l
