   That number refers to the section of the man pages that the command is in. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_page#Manual_sections for an example list; however, it seems the list is not the same between systems.

   I switched to Dvorak a while ago. I didn't notice any particular typing speed-up; in fact, I may be slower in Dvorak than Qwerty right now! I don't think typing speed is an important factor to consider when choosing Dvorak: it has

   There are two classes of play: sanctioned and unsanctioned (or tournament and casual). Among sanctioned play, there are several "formats", which define which cards can and can't be used in a deck. Black Lotus is only playable

   The hash fragment of a URL is not sent to the server by a browser. If you see dynamic data like that in a URL's fragment, you can conclude that it's useless to query the URL programatically by varying the fragment and that loading

   Personally, I use `.` as an alias for a very flagged `ls`, and `..` as an alias for `cd .. && .`. It clobbers the existing `.` but it saves me a good bit of time navigating directories.

    “A lot of the time will be spent waiting for the database or other IO, so blazing fast templates are not absolutely necessary.” I'm not sure I agree with this philosophy. It's not like you can render the template in parallel. If your databa

    My impressions: 1. Canvas isn't centered, loading font is boring. 2. Traditional sign-up? Meh. It also seems it makes you a new account if you misspell your old username. At least ask for confirmation first. 3. Badly-aligned Times New Roman

    The title is not the same as "Why Not Everyone Should Learn To Code". I strongly disagree with the title. As for the article I don't think that the reasons cited are particularly strong. Buggy code is not a reason not to code. Though people

    I wouldn't say mix-ins are based on the concept of composition. The mix-in is not a discrete object that's part of the composition of the class.

    Interestingly you can do this: class Foo: def bar(self): return "bar" foo = Foo() foo.bar() # returns "bar" Foo.bar(foo) # returns "bar" So it's not actually specifying `self` for instance me

    The presentation incorrectly identified Python dictionaries as “lists”. It also identified actual Python lists as lists. The presentation states that tuples are “immutable lists“ and that they ”should be homogeneous, but [this is] not enfor
