Does google really have the much higher a success rate with moving into new markets? How often do you really use Knol, Lively, Google Base, Checkout, Sketchup, etc.?

I like this type of blog post. I'd much rather read stories about people solving real problems with real code than blowhards pontificating about their favorite design patterns. Whether Rails is immature doesn't make it less interesting to

I don't see why twitter isn't appropriate for this. The reason given is that "Twitter facilitates user <=> user communication". But he gives no explanation for why Twitter couldn't also be used for the sorts of communication he disc

If you are in a situation where you can only receive messages via text, then you aren't able to visit web pages. So they could replace the urls with "[url]" or somesuch when sending them via SMS.

The reason join() isn't a method on lists is that it would mean that every class that wants to act like a list would have to implement it (or inherit from someone who does). If you write your own class that is iterable but doesn't inherit f

Licenses only matter if both sides understand what the license means and trust each other to abide by it in good faith. Ext is not trustworthy in this regard.

Ext burned a lot of people with their license shenanigans in the past. It won't soon be forgotten. I will never touch a piece of code that comes out of that project again if I can avoid it. Being "talented developers" is not an excuse for b

Why should companies be able to "delete" 3rd party forums where people discuss their products and help each other? If someone asks a question on Stack Overflow about using Visual Studio, should Microsoft be able to delete it? Should they be

I don't know about Chrome, but last I tried with Safari (greasekit) and opera, they did not have 100% GreaseMonkey compatibility yet, unfortunately.

The latest builds of Chrome support greasemonkey scripts: http://www.ghacks.net/2008/10/18/google-chrome-adds-greasemo... There is also greasemonkey support in safari (with greasekit) and opera (no extension needed).

Use the indentation script pointed to and explained by this article: http://henry.precheur.org/2008/4/18/Indenting_Python_with_VI... It is better than the default vim python autoindentation behavior.

It seems that its support for SQLAlchemy isn't really first class. I'm sure its builtin ORM is workable for simple web apps, but if you are doing serious database work in python, there is no substitute for SQLAlchemy. Of course, you can use
