Are you aware of any comparisons that shows "truffle appears to generalise to other languages a lot better"? I'd be interested in reading them. :) The performance of various RPython interpreters like PyPy and HippyVM are pret

> It means that basically any toy scripting language can have similar performance to, say, Javascript on V8, just by writing the base interpreter with their framework. That actually sounds a lot like what RPython from PyPy enables.

FWIW, my current setup is Win 8.1 Pro with Hyper-V configured to startup a Linux VM on boot. My dev environment consists of cmder with an alias "dev" that ssh into the Linux VM where I have my full set of dev tools available. It&#

It's about a thousand lines of Python. Not particularly much.

Semver isn't the one and only way of versioning stuff. Heck, it's a pretty ridiculous model for projects that do releases based on time rather than features...

In all my projects (and the projects I contribute to), style issues are a build-breaking defect. In Python this usually means running flake8 as a Travis job.

There is. It's called a PaaS. You write the app, the PaaS providers handles the rest.

I'm the one that reported issue #1279. The owner of the project has shown that he has absolutely no interest in addressing (or even politely replying to) security issues in his code so I'd advise anyone to steer clear of opencart.

I love Python and Python's standard lib but it's hardly the defacto best solution. urllib gets trumped by requests, ujson is much much better than the stdlib json module, hardly anyone still uses distutils over setuptools for ex

I very much doubt that's the case for their web servers. Note how they only opted for 48GB on their web servers vs the much larger numbers on their DB servers?

I'm pretty sure that ZFS' hefty RAM requirements are only when you turn on dedupe. It's generally recommended that dedupe be turned off unless you have a very good reason why you want it on. It has pretty hefty memory require

I honestly do not get the point of this page. None of the time differences in all the test cases are significant at all. Concerning yourself with this is premature optimization of the highest level especially in a language like Python. One

I'm willing to bet that this (at least the stated price) is completely fake. There is no way that laptop can sell for $480, that won't even cover the cost of the components. Heck, that processor alone probably costs $200 from Inte
