"This" when used by itself means the poster agrees with a parent poster; it's an obnoxious upvote really. "This" when used with a preceding quote means that the poster agrees with the quote in particular. Such usage is more of an upvote for

If code reviewers were just for checking mistakes, then unit tests would be enough. Code reviews are invaluable in education other developers about your code, how to support it and how to develop on it. But information should also flow the

Why something called 'phone' has a map, a tv, a calendar, an internet browser, and a bunch of games built in at all is dumbfounding to me. Yet that is the world we live in. Phones are expected to have all these features and phone numbers ar

Let me paraphrase that the way I understood you. In a case where monetary supply is fixed (ie gold), if you hold on to it for a period of time, you will get more goods for it than now. That 'more' will correspond to economic growth over the

Great article. One nit though. When making a 2d Cartesian graph with the two axis there are accepted quadrant labeling practices [1]. Quadrant I is positive on both axis, Quadrants II and IV positive on just one axis, and Quadrant III is ne

Go is quite a bit faster and memory efficient than Python3? No unexpected. Curious how it stacks up with PyPy. Looking at the Benchmark Game Go vs Java7[0], why is Java 2x to 8x faster than Go for many benchmarks? Is the jvm that optimized

I was surprised by his recommendation. I found lxml, with it's weak xpath implementation to be a poor tool for parsing XML. How can it be a good tool for parsing non conforming HTML? Perhaps my reply to Linus was snarky, but in my experienc
