Is the anybody out there doing robotics in a start-up or this is the playground of well funded research?

How the robot deals with ice is incredible. Thanks for the link!

return { ok: false }; Have you seen this part of the video? That's a perfect example while adding semicolons is a bad thing.

But what if you don't need a full RDBMS but all the nice characteristics of a REST interface? Think about CouchDB and friends.

A pretty similar design was my first try for a simple whiteboard system but switched to another misuse of memcahced with prepend and append. Timing out of old messages is a nice feature of this solution. These are dirty hacks comparing to a

I do my scrapping with BeautifulSoup from Python, actually from an iPython shell. With a urllib2 opener you could easily handle cookies and UserAgent pretty easy, the later is also important for some sites.

A good post with interesting pointers for someone who is eyeing with R like me. A solid background of statistics is required, it's time to catch up for me!

Comparing to http://oursignal.com the NYT version is when engineers tries to copy a designer's work.

It's more high level than SCons, for example they generate Visual Studio project files.

Key-locking makes sense, I'll give it a try. Thanks for the info!

Is there something like CAS of memcached? It's fine to live without locking but low-level atomic functionality is essential.

There is an interesting difference how the pages scanned in this video. The eye movement on the one with mostly images were more random than on a text based.

So back to coding! :-)

Good idea, that could be an easy way to prevent the absurd up- or down-voting phenomenon.

"There are many versions of vi, and I'm going to be showing you how to use a version of vi called vim." Is there any other clone still under active development? Long years ago Vim won, hands down.

The cheap iteration is a big plus of this data structure over a simple set.

A pretty unique collection, worth a look!

Even worse, it's misguiding, just try to apply it to say Haskell. Good luck! ;-) Writing code is THE way to go.

SimpleDB is hard to get from a traditional SQL point of view, but it's a joy to use in practice. My simple-minded solution was to add an invisible local cache for all of my writes and except the fact from all other players that I'm possibly

A very good read, thanks for the link!

There is more than one way to do it. Design patterns, basic principles of style, all of these are only soft recommendations, don't mistify them. Try to cope with the existing code, probably you will learn from the old fart.

"What's new in P3K" mentions that print is function at the very top. For existing code there is a nice conversion 2to3 which convert most of the artifact like a charm. It worth to read some documentation before shouting.

A base python installation is good enough for most of the tasks for a newbie. Python 3.0 is out in a quite stable form for early migration testing, it's not as bad as you describe.

We used it in a style where 2-3 people teams shared code to develop a feature, a person often worked on different teams at the same time. When a group finished they forwarded they changes to the 'merge master', a weekly shift of lead devel
