Yep. Just the other day I was thinking -- I end up losing in debates because I'm unable to cite data. Scraping and acquiring data is a key part of research, so I'm very much looking for a text that presents the big picture as well as the

Uhm.. no. I know _way_ too many sysadmins, even distro maintainers, seasoned devops engineers, who have stuck with nano, joe, etc. for years and years and still stick by it. Although I am glad that I learned vim when I was starting out some

Pretty decent and clean interface, I like that -- I think the next step to take from here would be implementing a system that lets users keep track of a list of watched/not-watched movies. Up for it? :) Anyway, do please remark on what kind

I'm sorry, but I've gotta ask: Was that supposed to be a joke about R-pi sites often being unable to handle heavy traffic -- or is the store actually running on R-pi's?

Why are we operating under the assumption that skeumorphic design is inherently bad? The greatest thing that iPhone ever did was to make an incredibly complicated device that was wanted by everyone: young and old, educated or not. It makes

I can't believe Michael Forbes hasn't been mentioned yet. His story was famously shown in the documentary 'You've Been Trumped' -- various tactics are used to get Forbes and others to relinquish their property so it can be used for Donald T

pg is a lot more charismatic and without the 'uhhs' and 'uhms' in his speech here. I wonder if it's because the defcon crowd is more playful than, for example, the Python crowd he gave a speech to a few months ago. Granted he's just reading

I see resources about Unix text processing utilities, about Bash, about readline shortcuts, etc. etc. submitted very often to HN. Exactly how useful are they? Would you say they're among the most important skills a programmer could have? Or

Interesting, that's actually the first thing I thought of, and not the pianist (I did not know about him). It may sound crass, but I may as well ask: how's Brubeck (the framework) coming along?

So, if you don't mind me asking, do speak about your (and your brother's) upbringing. What was your childhood like? Did you parents teach you programming? Did you play with legos a lot? Write as if you were giving advice to future-fathers.

It's slightly disappointing that the revision will not at all focus on Django 1.5 that would operate on Python3. Perhaps a few 'If you're doing this on Python3' side-notes will suffice?

Slightly off-topic, but since the 'UI' is in the topic, I'll bite: Why did Google need to re-invent the scrollbar ( http://i.imgur.com/ztm93.png ), without the two squares (sorry, don't know what they're called) on the opposite sides, w

I think you were maybe drawing some parallels with the word "decriminalization" in your mind -- which makes sense, because the word is being used a lot (with news of marijuana regulation and such).

Sorry, a small off-topic question: why did you again and again misspell 'discrimination'? You sound too educated to make the mistake -- and I'm not aware of any alternative spellings of the word. So, why did you spell it that way? I'm just
