   With legal questions, you should ask a lawyer (based in your jurisdiction).

   I think wkhtmltopdf and PhantomJS are the most active open source solutions. There's also http://pypi.python.org/pypi/xhtml2pdf/ , written in Python and using ReportLab (which certainly has some nice properties).

   Split up your changes. Seriously: in most cases it's possible to split up a 30-line patch into 5 separate patches that, applied in order, monotonically improve your code base and are easier to review, in total, than one larger patch. Change

   I'm currently using Python to write a compiler for a language I'm playing with (which, incidentally, looks a lot like Python, but is statically typed). Targeting LLVM IR, it's worked out nicely so far.

   What I actually find interesting is that the Firefox trend already seems to be turning around again... Over the past few months, the decline has been slowed, and the latest data point has Firefox actually gaining share.

   How long ago did you last try it? The Mozilla team has been kicking some ass over the last few months.

    I found it quite annoying that the FOOM/MOOF acronyms didn't seem to be explained anywhere on the page...

    Meh. I love what OSM is doing, but IMO their tile style doesn't hold a candle to Google's (but then I dislike Apple's style here, as well).

    I like delivering ZeroMQ content to the browser (I have even written my own little WebSockets server to deliver ZeroMQ-pubsub meessages to my webapp), but I'm not sure I understand what the use for STOMP or NullMQ is, here. Is STOMP just us

    We use 0MQ and Redis together at work. We have an incremental flow of updates that we distribute internally over 0MQ pubsub, and have one listener process that updates the full state in Redis from each update message. That way, we have both

    Where did he say that? I think I missed it on his blog (just looked again and didn't see it). Did he say it in a podcast (maybe Kindacritical)?

    I always find it funny when people believe anecdotes over actual science. On-topic: these are the kinds of results from psychology that most people here should hopefully know already.

    Why in the world is this restricted? I live in the Netherlands, and I really don't get what's so hard about releasing here. Sure, we're a small market, so not as important, but still... Software is global, man!

    Too bad it's only available in "select countries", which certainly don't include the Netherlands... Probably just the US and Canada? Kind of old-fashioned.

    Heh, a familiar name working on this! So for your first item, it seems like it should be possible to add a (mostly immutable) cache file doing the job of Mercurial's files field in changesets, right? I.e. for each commit, list the files cha

    Very nice post, thanks! I'm looking at experimenting with Mongrel2 to see if it would be a nice fit at work, where we still use apache2/mod_wsgi (we have modest needs) to interface our Python + CouchDB app. However, we've started adding Web

    I'm sure there would be some speedup, the question is whether it would be worth it (and I suppose that can only be adequately be assessed by the developers, who now have to maintain C code instead of Python). But for some perspective from a

    It's not that revolutionary anymore... Twitter has been doing it for quite a while now, and see http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3236820 for more discussion. Personally, I've rewritten a bunch of code at work to go from server-side ren
