The failure was not equally massive on all sides, though. Two guys made possibly juvenile jokes to each other while sitting in the audience at a conference. This was a minor failure of manners. A woman reacted by taking a creepshot of them,

I don't see a use for BeautifulSoup nowadays. I use lxml.etree for everything (with the HTML parser when needed), and do 99% of queries using XPath. It's the best way to do scraping with Python, in my experience.

First, women are smaller and weaker than men, on average, and there's nothing wrong with that. Sometimes reality has a conservative bias, you know? (But it would be more accurate to say that traditional ideas often have some basis in real

I'm talking about the new TR that just came out. Many things have changed since the original.

Cool hack, great dad, etc. However, I can't help but point out that one of the most popular video games of the moment, Tomb Raider, has a female protagonist, and hordes (brutish, sexist hordes!) of male gamers are playing it without issue.

When people talk about meritocracy, they are thinking of a competition between individuals. When you assert that it's a competition between races, or between sexes, or between other social groups, the concept of meritocracy doesn't even app

Because the word has its origin in the Greek metron , and has nothing to do with Germanic languages whatsoever. Besides, there are countless precedents of English words with a mute final "e" and a schwa inserted between two consonants, e.g

Because it was horribly written, even for a random blog post; and because the time spent reading it could have been better spent reading the Wikipedia article, which would have been both more informative and more pleasant. Basically, the au

This is a terrible article in both content and form. Pretty much the only interesting thing in it is the historical connection between the seconds pendulum and the metre, but then you could just read this instead: http://en.wikipedia.org/w

I like how this article lies from the very first word (of the title). City size limits are tiny compared to earlier versions of SimCity, so it's the exact opposite of "bigger".

Of course we do, especially when there is a huge imbalance of power between the parties.

I think most Linux users see HIB as a form of activism or donation (specifically to show that games on Linux can be profitable) rather than as a purchase. Heck, I bet most people who get HIB games (on Linux or otherwise) never even play the

Steam has been getting much better on OS X recently. They have greatly reduced memory leaks and CPU usage when idle.

A friend of mine uses ZFS on OS X. Apparently it works quite well. I imagine Linux support is good too, but I'm not sure about Windows. At any rate, I'm surprised the author didn't mention it.

Over the past few days, several articles about how crucial your 20s are have been posted to HN. I find them quite depressing. I can only hope that the blog cycle is like the news cycle, and that these posts will stop once it stops being the

It's the same thing over and over. When people like two things, they tend to want to see connections between them. Max Weber liked protestantism and capitalism, so he wrote "The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism". iuguy likes No

I much prefer Python to PHP, but I think you're being unfair. He makes some good points.

I'd just like to point out that there is no irony anywhere in what you wrote. It is not ironic in the slightest. (Yes, yes, language is always changing and so on. The linguists in the audience can sit down. I'm not giving up on saving that

Playing devil's advocate here: that shows that scientists take gender into account when making job offers to students, but it begs the question as to whether doing so is unfairly discriminatory. It's possible that CV+gender is a better pred

I've used Django before, and I found it disappointing. Does the ORM still lack identity mapping? Does it still not let you run custom SQL and get the results back as model objects (instead of plain tuples)?

Nobody is arguing against the existance of beneficial compounds in plants. Remember that the claim was that natural products somehow contain the perfect blend of compounds, which is a very high bar to clean. Co-evolution does not imply maxi

That's the saddest paper I've ever seen. Some student did a paper review, tacked on a hypothesis, did no research on it, and came up with something that looks more like a homework assignment than a research paper. Dose Response must have
