   I love Python but I have to admit: the Python regex docs don't let you get stuff done quickly.

   Ethics are hard. And the law should be an overriding concern in most instances. I think more examples and more explicit guidelines would help the founders judgment. I fear this could get real ugly when (not if) conflicts arise and the punis

   I hope not. I quote: I show how to use Python, free software, as a financial calculator to estimate PV, FV, PV of annuity, to estimate effective rates, beta and more. I can literally do that with the built in functions of poc

   May I ask what you're doing with all those instances? And to be extremely bold: what are you paying for all those licenses?

    This is some quality advertising on your and Iain's part. It makes me want to use Julia even more when I get the chance.

    A bit lame maybe but here it goes: The "Ready for Battle alarm clock". An alarm clock that wakes you up with your favourite quotes from video games or movies such as: - Rise and shine, Mister Freeman. Rise and... shine. Not that I

    Agreed but if function follows form then Yii is somewhat lacking. Maybe I'm just biased because when I was in a tight spot digging through the source and docs didn't get me where I wanted to be. Looking at their GitHub now I must

    I have some experience with Yii and coming from Django I'm not impressed with the _functionality_. Maybe the code is really great but why not study something Symphony which, arguably, achieves more and is therefore better at solving th

    I had a small discussion about this idea[1] and I believe that it is worthwhile: Make private key based authentication useful for logging in to websites. I don't have the chops but introducing private key based auth as an extra can be

    I do, I was just confused by the title. With that out of the way: not reading this book. Any critique should at least get its facts right and if I want to be entertained I prefer other authors.

    For SSH it's common to use private keys to communicate securely with servers using public key cryptography. This is convenient and protects against key loggers. What are the possibilities of using public key cryptography in the browser

    I read that you're not sure how you will earn an income but basically, you will depend on the generosity of your users. If I might try one tip: Who are you? What drives you? Tell us a bit about yourself on your website. I think it wil
