You're right. I think it's just what people are used to. Compare: "If two gallons is less than the amount of gas in your tank, you should fill it up." "If you have less than two gallons of gas left in your tank, you should fill it up." In

Apple just lured me into doing this, because of their new Mac App Store. [I've only tried out some free apps yet - TextWrangler looks interesting].

The first thing that comes to my mind when someone asks such questions (quite often seen in IRC channels), is: "Well, why don't you time both versions and actually measure which is faster?" Also, premature optimisation is the root of all

The whole 'Reverse Engineering the 6502' talk Michael Steil gave at CCC congress is on YouTube. I posted this earlier in a separate topic, but it didn't pick up. Clickable links to the 6 parts: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HW9AWBFH1sA

I found it very interesting to see how the 'ſ' directly followed by a 's' were combined into the ligurature 'ß'. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ß

I play WoW for five years now. When I started, I used to be an occasional player. But when I hit level 60 (that was the highest level a few years ago) it was impossible to advance further without being in a regular raiding guild. So I sta

Correct way of using cutlery: 1. Concentrate the food on the center of the plate. 2. Using knife and fork and with a scissoring movement, reduce the food to small chunks. 3. Using the fork, mix and stir well. 4. Use the spoon for moving the

The combination of CherryPy, memcache, oursql and DBUtils. This is a kind of lean and mean Python webapp stack.

This is actually the first time I came across http://www.xtranormal.com/watch/6995033/ I have always seen the relational-databases-VS-nosql-databases as a false dichotomy. I think these systems serve different purposes. I use MySQL+memcac

220.000 hits in 2 hours is about 220000/3600/2 = 30 hits per second. The server needs to produce pages in about 33 msec. And all that is average; there could be spikes. Hmmm, interesting. And certainly doable. On my site I use memcached

Last week I optimized some MySQL queries which triggered the 'not-using-index' warning, even when I had all fields which were used for selecting and sorting indexed. I think a JOIN on a nested subselect somehow confused MySQL: when I duplic
