Read or watch the talk he gave that he links to. He talks about how his big "break" came about from writing a yaml parser for Php that had "70" downloads. Hardly "famous." I think his point is that releasing code allows you to show that you

Have you looked at http://github.com/defunkt ? For the record, he open sources lots of stuff. It may not be github that's open sourced, but notice he says "open source" ." open source people don't always agree on making sure everything is

much more usable than my example, but the copy on write is tricky, which I alluded too. In the case of objects, you need the entire object in order to act upon it, which means you have to copy the whole thing. Of course, if this was an actu

There's no doubt that abuse can happen in a model that allows openness. But, if you're worried about your inferior programmers abusing features of the language, that's a management problem. Do code reviews and hire people that aren't going

Why yes, you happen to be correct. It can be done with cat and grep, and really you can do it without cat! However, it's perhaps desirable to be able to do things like edit the todo/tofix, delete them, export them to your todo application

I started building a script to go through source code and find all the things I tag "TOFIX" or "TODO." For example: $ python tofix.py tofix.py line 3: ... line 16: this needs some attention as we shouldn't be using 'pass' not

The lambda calculus doesn't really have assignment, so you can't call a function recursively in the way we're used to in modern programming languages. However, Y allows us to give a recursive function a temporary name which we can then use

Yeah, but JavaScript IS not, by any stretch of the imagination anything like scheme today, aside from first class functions. It really pains me when people say JavaScript is scheme + self. That just isn't true.

Let me be the first to get out of the way all of the complaints: 1. Why didn't they just use Twisted? 2. Why didn't they predict tornado and make it better? 3. Yeah, but (tornado|twisted|my half baked implementation) is still faster at serv

I have and it's pretty impressive. This is meant to move the focus of your editing to a few lines sorounding your cursor, and nothing else. It's not meant as an accessibility tool.
