Recommends are handled the same way by both tools nowadays. There are configuration options and flags to switch them off it you prefer.

Menus seem to cause an X grab. At least, you can't call Ctrl-Alt-L while one is showing.

PopVox has an “organisations endorsing” / “organisations opposing” section. It's not as gameable as finnw suggests, except for some misrepresentation: the “US Chamber of Commerce” is a large, extremely right wing lobby, some industry groups

That, and make sure it doesn't happen again. I'd be a little worried about how Google manages the business side of things; they have a good brand and the potential to make a lot of money, so of course someone will find it advantageous to ta

Learn from http://diveintopython3.ep.io/ which is fresher. You may end up using Python2 due to library availability, but the differences aren't enormous.

In my experience current Python culture takes documentation very seriously. Popular projects like Django, SQLAlchemy, South, Pyramid, Fabric have extensive narrative documentation (in the form of an overview, a tutorial, a thematic guide, a

Perl actually has one of the best Unicode supports (second only to ICU). This guy worked on it, so he's listing all the edge cases (bulk of the post), explaining how to get rid of backward-compatible brokenness (and maybe Perl needs a quick

It thankfully didn't take two years, but I've brought sanity to a messy database by: 1. reverse-engineering its schema into code 2. simplifying that code, and migrating the data regularly Code has been pretty malleable, making it easy to fa

Actually, Hadoop is seeing adoption because it can be used within a company's data silo. The semantic web and linked data solve heterogeneous data from a technical perspective, but the data still needs to be shared between diverse actors, a

Good point re Accept: headers, though I think discoverable formats (such as <link rel="alternate" type="application/rdf+xml" href="data.rdf" />) are even better.

Fibonacci really doesn't need memoization since you can implement it efficiently by keeping just the last two values on the stack. Dynamic programming (like the knapsack problem) is a better example.

If this matters — and the reload feature is for development, so I'm not sure the polling has a noticeable impact — an inotify implementation is also possible.

The language is limited by IE dragging their feet on unbreaking their implementation or advancing standards, Webkit and V8 staying at a very conservative middle ground (Google pushing Dart and compilation as substitutes), and Mozilla being

GitHub's source code language detection is over there: https://github.com/github/linguist/tree/master/lib/linguist It doesn't measure line length, which could be a good way to detect minified JavaScript. It uses file extensions and byte s

If it used normal names, Python couldn't evolve new methods for its protocols with language support. It would need some kind of annotation saying “yes I really mean to get this method called by the language and didn't just happen to use the

It's justified. The site is used for problem solving. Here the problem isn't the asker's, it can't be meaningfully solved by anyone on the site, and it is a matter of opinion whether any answer comes closer to solving it, or that there is a

In large part they are. Mozilla Firefox is 80% JS, and the chrome is XUL, an XML language.

Tons of languages are doing that: OCaml, Python, Java (and Dart and GWT), C, C++ off the top of my head. I don't think it will catch on, because Javascript has been good enough and these runtimes have overhead.

Another reason is: because these cdn domains aren't the domain people navigate to, they don't get cookies from the domain that includes them. Cookies bloat requests for the domain they are assigned to; sending them only once per page is fas

Google exposes a lot more services to IPv6 than SPDY, though traffic might be another matter. I am merely poking fun at any hopes of a replacement, for as long as HTTP still works; even a protocol with a death warrant and a significantly be

That's basically it. I install to ~/local/stow/$pkgname , and run stow -d ~/local/stow $pkgname. Uninstalling is done with rm -rf, upgrading is done by uninstalling then installing. The only $PATH addition is ~/local/bin. A $pkgname-$versio

It is missing some sites which have https-everywhere rules. Still a scary thing; looking at the comments in the source, would coalescing load events deter the attack, or at least make it probabilistic and slow? And why isn't Firefox display
