I like your point of data oriented design. Do you have any suggestions/links on how I can learn more about it? Thanks.

I wanted to write a high-level API on top on multiprocessing, but it seems that this project has already done this. However, it is unclear if this has been used/tested much with python 2.6. If you have used this package, please share your c

I would say 2500$ for a non-apple machine. Yes, building my own is definitely an option, but time is of the essence, so I prefer buying. If I had to allocate a weekend between building this machine or hacking, I would have to go with the la

I have one of the older HP workstations under me at work. I agree they are quite nice. It is definitely an option but with the prices about the same, I am a little biased towards apple.

My co-worker has a hackintosh laptop. It is not bad, but every time he updates something, he has to spend time tinkering with it. If you don't mind doing that, you could try that option.

I understand what the author is trying to say, but I find the language very confusing. To say that, you need to be creative and intelligent to be able to deal with crap sounds correct in theory, but in practice it is the worst use of these

I was having severe pain with this last month. Some steps that I took that have helped - 1. Minimize computer usage - the best way to deal with RSI is to rest your hands. So if you are doing something at the computer that you can avoid, sto

In my experience edanm is correct. map/reduce/filter are faster with built-in functions, but list comprehensions are faster with user-defined ones For eg. using python 2.5.2 In [9]: l = ['10'] * 5000000 In [10]: timeit -n5 map(int, l) 5 loo

Hey bravura, Do you mind elaborating your process of hiring remote workers for short term gigs? Do you make them sign NDA agreements? How do you make sure they are not abusing the code that you give them? Thanks

On this note, does anyone know a good tutorial on map reduce for experienced programmers? Basically, I want to learn how to frame advanced problems in terms of MR - I am particularly interested in expressing my discrete event simulation in

As someone living in nyc for the last four years, some of the things that I noticed when I spent a few days in SF last month : 1. Cabs advertise could computing instead of strip clubs. 2. It was tough to find cabs in the Mission district. 3
