Suggestion: hire a copy-writer and get help with all the copy on the pages.

What stood out to me: online bullying (dressed-up sometimes as concern/outrage) is what led to Guido stepping down. Python is great, but it will never be perfect. But the outrage stuff, the entitlement stuff, essentially anything that

Who cares, because eventually the buck stops somewhere. In other words, it doesn't matter how many layers of simulations there are, because at the top presumably there's a "reality". It's easiest to just assume that

I know it's a cliche but the sqlite code is the easiest to read C I've encountered. Followed closely by the code for Redis.

I've made a few half-hearted attempts to use lpeg: http://www.inf.puc-rio.br/~roberto/lpeg/ The operator overloads are a lot to reckon with, beyond just the concepts, but it seems like there's something

Lua is a great small language.

Whether or not you like this feature or think it's a good idea, the brunt of this will be born by library writers. Yeah you can use a dedicated thread to listen to these push messages, but really this is tacitly blessing the asyncio&#x

Super grimy site, picked up that I'm on at&t and redirected me to some scummy "take our survey and win some shit" site with a fake message dialog.

I grew up playing number munchers, but we had reader rabbit as well. Since I already knew how to read at that time, we just referred to reader rabbit as "Evan's game" (my littlest brother). It seems, in my memory, like the co

Who cares. It might as well be experimental theatre for all I care. If I want the job, I'll put in the effort. It's that simple.

Yeah, I studied for an interview and it paid off huge. Just treat it like a cs exam and you'll be fine.

Yeah, the community/demographic seems like it has changed quite a bit since even a couple years ago. It's so politically charged these days, hardly anything that interests me (and what the fuck is the deal with this Boeing 737 fet

Awesome to see the university of Kansas being repped. I saw the blurb showing "KU" and thought...no way! Great job by some talented people. Thanks for sharing.

A simple Python interface ... built atop the most powerful and widely used Python ORM. This is the library equivalent of virtualization! This is crazy, right? Let's take SQLAlchemy, all the experience and expertise that went into build

I'd rather have a sane API. def configure_ring(): if DEBUG: return Ring(backend='debug') else: return Ring(backend='memcache', ...) ring = configure_ring()

Although this is true, it is terrible from a developer UX perspective. Yes, you can "dynamically"-decorate your functions at run-time using whatever global conditionals. Yes, you can re-decorate the ring decorators. But you should

Extremely poor design: * Not DRY. What if I want to use a cache for production but disable caching in development? And I have 10s or even 100s of functions that rely on the cache? Because the decorators contain implementation/client-sp

To wit, there seems to be an intelligent phenomenon going on, and it appears throughout history. He doesn't say anything about what it could be, simply is describing the phenomenon. Also, I've read his books. Wikipedia quotes don&

Jacques Vallee, a noted computer scientist in his own right, is one of the best reads if you're interested in this stuff. He's not a crackpot and doesn't seem to be pushing an agenda one way or another.

The gnome/gtk team introduces breaking changes to the styles and themes all the time . I think this is misplaced outrage. One of the things I like most about gtk apps is the ability to theme them to achieve a uniform look across all m

Here's a similar story: A guy is standing on the beach and his clothes and hair are all ablaze. Another guy says to him, "dude go jump in the water, you're on fire!" To which he responds, "I know, just a minute tho,

Yea I have a ryzen5 and was shocked that it wouldn't boot without a graphics card. No biggie, so I guess this makes sense. No need to buy another card, presumably something akin to the Intel embedded graphics..

What would you use this for? Gaming? 4k home media? Bitshekel mining? General purpose computer? I had to Google the term apu and I'm still not sure if I understand (whether it's marketing or something distinct).

I'm surprised gulf war syndrome wasn't mentioned in the article. What ever ended up being the consensus on that?

It's a new psf initiative, "blog network 4.0" to juice our Google stats for the big upcoming release. Remember the new python official motto: what is dead can never die.
