This is a pointless esssay, and ignores the reality and the complexity of the real world. It seems to me that the point of the essay was that it is possible to tell children the truth, even though the truth is complex. The author's chil

An improvement on the switch-using-dictionaries example: instead of doing this... keycode = 2 functions = {1: key_1_pressed, 2: key_2_pressed, 3: key_3_pressed} if functions.has_key(keycode): functions[keycode]() else:

If you're looking to scale (as in, you need at least one dedicated machine and will likely be adding more), I highly recommend Softlayer. Their pricing is reasonable and support is pretty good, but more importantly (for my startup) their se

Interesting. For anyone interested in a more powerful, yacc-style javascript parser generator, check out JS/CC: http://jscc.jmksf.com/ . I've used it to generate a parser for spreadsheet formulas; the interface to use it is pretty clunky
