bin/, include/, lib/, share/, tmp/ etc last I knew. I've been using virtualenvwrapper since the separate virtualenv dir feature was added (and before), though. Seriously - just use virtualenvwrapper.

It's probably not the answer you want to hear, but you should root it. Rooting and upgrading my cheapo 2.3 phone to 4.0/CCM9 completely revitalized it. Rooting is the true magic of the Android ecosystem.

I meant exactly the same as far as an average user is concerned - you never have to use the search box (I remove it), you can just put search terms in the main box and it'll use the configured provider. I will admit FF is a little worse at

You might be interested to know that Windows keys don't discriminate between 32-bit/64-bit. If you can find installation media for the same type of x64 distribution (Home, Pro, etc) as your 32-bit, you can install x64 and use your current k

Firefox's bar works exactly the same as Chrome's now. And even long before FF started letting you search from the address bar without search keywords, you could use search keywords. I prefer the in-bar history searching in FF too.

If you gave him a credit card (and not a debit card or such) you're only on the hook at most for the authorized charges - the same $20. And even then you could chargeback the $20.

As a contrast, I've pretty much lived in LibreOffice (and a little Google Docs) for the past ~2 years for personal stuff and haven't found much I miss from MS Office. My needs for an office suite are pretty basic though, I suppose.

While it's disappointing that it's taken this long for the book to get finished, the publisher Manning has provided downloadable drafts throughout the whole process - a great feature. Thanks to that I've had access to the book (such as it's

Submitters do occasionally badly editorialize titles so there is some need for editors to fix them, but of late there really has been an extremely overzealous HN editor or two at work. Actually, at this point I'd agree - I'd rather have imm

Flask works very similarly in python-land. When I want to whip up an API I fire up Flask + curl.

I have a much happier story, luckily. My first internship in college was in R&D of a Fortune 500 company testing bugfixes for software that ran $1M+ machines. Sometimes this involved following test matrices to exercise the machines. At

I used to rent an entire 3BR house for $700/mo, albeit in one of the more depressed markets in the US. Thinking about moving to SF makes me more than a little queasy.

I'm a little disappointed there's no direct download (at least that I can see) for something they're asking money for. Could rip the youtube video I guess, but that's extra hassle and probably against the youtube TOS.

I would think this happens most every time most every MMORPG releases a new patch. I know it's happened almost every release with the two MMORPGs I follow, D&DO and SWTOR. It's just part of the game.

You ought to be able to google it, but it's a person assigned to assist the bus driver - mainly with keeping order among students - so that the driver can concentrate on driving. Reasonably common on American schoolbuses, depending on the d

From what I recall about Open Table, what restauranteurs have said they hate most is the lock-in - once you're using Open Table it's very painful to stop since OT owns all the customer data. Plus there's the sunk cost of the OT hardware, in

I realize you're quite possibly kidding, but it's just an optional extra - quick call to TW then swapping the wifi modem for a plain old modem and it's off the bill. Easier than cancelling HBO certainly.

You can do 90% of what you'd want to do on a laptop without the laptop. Why carry both? A lot of people I know in a certain live coverage niche have already switched to iPads over laptops for composing and publishing content on the fly, wit

In the US, it depends on the provider. The two giant cable telecoms I've dealt with charged ~$5/month for a wifi router which is really highway robbery - especially considering the quality of the routers they provided. Their provided cablem

That seems like a pretty gross overreaction. The article is about a pretty small, close-knit startup serving a free gourmet lunch by professional chef. I doubt anyone there feels like it's stifling and I doubt anyone is thought less of for

Depends on the introvert I guess. I get plenty of solitude while working on code and I enjoy the opportunity to chat with people over lunch.

I've never worked in a close-knit place like where I've seen these type of lunches described (the article, Fog Creek, etc), but it seems like it works very well for them. "Everyone eats lunch together" obviously doesn't scale very well - at

AMD is ruthless about dropping support for older architectures, which hits laptop GPUs especially hard. They're about to drop support for R600 and there's still lower-end devices being sold with those. Fortunately as noted above the AMD ope

The open source AMD driver has improved a lot over the past couple of years, it's really pretty good. "Pretty good" is unfortunately not good enough for really 3D intensive tasks like newer games, etc. Good enough for the vast majority of d

Yes, they still hijack NXDOMAIN among other things. The "other things" you can mostly disable with settings, but there's no way to get rid of the NXDOMAIN hijacking - at least for free, maybe you can pay them money to. It annoyed me suffici
