Some of the responses are outdated, here's one of the things that is now part of python: Python 2.5 introduced defaultdict in the collections module: from collections import defaultdict d = defaultdict(int) d['foo'] +=1 # loo

Well, it isn't actually spatial. Keyboards are nice because after a while the location of each key is encoded in your brain. Swype and its ilk (ShapeWriter, SlideIT) take advantage of that by piggybacking on your already learned spatial k

Very much agreed. Fogbugz also has one of the simplest "surface" interfaces. It manages to hide all the complexity, without sacrificing feature, leading to very smooth workflows. Trac, Bugzilla, and JIRA (I haven't used Redmine) all seem to

In addition note that your approval of the advice hinges on a completely different goal from that presented. So it's not just the fear-mongering that you're ignoring, you're also ignoring the fact that it only happens that some specific "

I use cycle when talking to people who are thinking about applying, and I've heard others use it too. Sounds more glamorous than batch and less academic than class.

There are some people who aren't really getting CarWoo, so I'm gonna try and explain: CarWoo is sort of a domain-specific CRM. It lets you manage communication with dealers in terms of providing an RFQ interface and in terms of controlling

Some of the comments say that @tizzers has provided reputable insider info about Linden before. Techeye also claim they get a current employee to corroborate, though I have no idea how trustworthy that is.

Really? This is the first time I'm hearing that. I've seen "planet discovered" a bunch of times, with a crescendo of excitement. I was always disappointed that they were almost exclusively super-giants and the "so what" line always said som

I think this hits the crux of the problem but not directly: An ugly design that works is actually a good design . Several people in this thread make the point that design isn't just the veneer, but definitely the whole user experience. But

It tends to come into it earlier, here's a humorous example: http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=1883 It turns out that in even very young children, adults react subconsciously to the problem-solving behaviors of childre

I'm running the latest UberKernel at 1Ghz with Govnah set to screenstate 500/1000 (it downscales CPU to 500Mhz when screen is off). This turns the phone pretty damn fast! Lack of graphics acceleration for the OS means animation is still not

I have a DX that I use for just that purpose (reading journals and textbooks). Yes, the two column text runs a bit small, but I haven't had any problems. Check to see how well it works for you. The DX crops out borders on good copies of jou

Although someone who's geopolitically dogmatic might say it's the same thing, it was the Russian Empire rather than the then non-existent USSR that was the US's ally in WWI.

Send them a letter. You have an address, after all! 100 miles should get covered in under a week. If you want to be obnoxious about it you can even have them sign for it.

Just to clarify, that joke is in fact a Russian joke. I think the MiG-29 was an accidental stand-in that telegraphs whenever it was my Dad heard the joke. I bet it was told about the Mig-21 before it, too (which even more clearly than its s

Exactly, hardly a lost language. I happen to have taken an Ugaritic class in college, and after a semester could read the texts without too much trouble. I am a native speaker of Hebrew, so the roots are similar, which made it not very hard

I grew up in a country where this was impossible. It's quite easy to render this ineffective. This is about the same as getting a free refill from a soda fountain at a place that doesn't explicitly post that they allow free refills. If they
