You sound like you are a paid shill. I know that you aren't, which disappoints me further, because I'd like to think that people are capable of educating themselves instead of spreading misinformation. On your first paragraph, pon

I'm confused. What part of this causes an eyeroll for you? Did you attempt to read the words in a spiral instead of the standard left-to-right, top-to-bottom style most English readers prefer?

As we say so often in the Python commmunity, "Try It And See." Do you use cffi and/or ctypes in your code? Have you run your tests against this newer PyPy?

You don't sound like a hacker. You sound like somebody who types a lot in order to change the patterns of lights on their monitor.

I agree with the author entirely.

It is not up to PyPy to support non-pure-Python libraries; it is up to those libraries to fix themselves by evicting their C and FORTRAN balls and chains.

Let's define "virtually." There are plenty of websites that don't use JS.

I hope that you did not flip this around and force yourself to learn PHP and JS based on this philosophy.

The author appears to not be aware of where the big leagues are. Additionally, as is becoming a recurring theme here, he doesn't know about PyPy nor Twisted. This is continually disappointing.

Image macros come from Japanese message boards; they are not really related to the faux motivational posters that are commonly known as "demotivationals".

"I believe there are two reasons why some people want to disable JavaScript: the feeling of extra privacy and improving page speeds." I normally get along with Armin, but I feel that he left out a key thing here: Some people disab

So, as far as I can tell, you have failed to demonstrate that Twisted Web with PyPy is not a viable alternative, which is disappointing. Also, uWSGI's core team doesn't have any faith in their own code; they use Apache instead of

Stop writing Java code in Python. No. Bad. Stop it.

You are wrong. Python's object model is incredibly rich in ways that JavaScript and Lua don't even come close to touching. Let me list some things that you'll see in Python code that you're not gonna see in JS or Lua: *

Python as a language requires the float type to have at least double precision. This is sadly not documented explicitly, but the big four Python implementations all respect this.

I'm sorry, but it's not appropriate for a project manager to promote his paid project on HN without some sort of disclosure, especially when using a custom title for submission.

I would never participate in automatic torrenting; I am pretty discerning about what I watch. Additionally, RSS feeds just seem pointless to me; I visit web sites when I want to consume information from them. I dislike the idea of turning m

Why is the project name misspelled several different ways? This doesn't fill me with a lot of confidence. I'm also not sure what niche this project is trying to fill.

You can't. No, seriously, you won't find a video card (especially an nVidia) that doesn't have a cross-licensing agreement with Microsoft for the use of certain patented codecs. Whatever you buy, there's gonna be a small

I honestly normally load up a bunch of full albums of progressive rock from the days of yesteryear and listen to two or three throughout the workday. It doesn't make sense to listen to just one song on those albums, and so I normally d

Loons aren't eavesdroppers. They only operate on very specific spectra in order to ensure high bandwidth.

Sadly, I seem to be unable to convince it to load entire albums, just individual songs. However, it does load unofficial videos, which is quite cool. I'm guessing that it runs a search without being logged in, and takes the first res

If only Erlang had versioning in modules like other languages do. Modules are hard, most languages get them wrong, and this should be fixed, but you shouldn't blame packagers.

This is quite common in large online games where accounts often sit unused, having only a few hours of total hours logged over years.

Portland, Oregon also discontinued the "Fareless Square" free downtown transit because of this.
