Which tweets get interest is just whatever catches people's attention that day. I can't tell what snarky quips are going to be popular either. I don't think you need a huge Twitter presence. It's nice to have a handl

Yeah, we need to put our money where our mouth is. Frankly I'm amazed how far PyPy has gotten with the few resources it has. Even their toolchain is amazing; other people are starting to use it to build JITs for other languages.

Barely. The subset of code that works in both Python 2.6+ and 3.3+ is orders of magnitude greater than the subset of code that works in both Perl 5 and 6.

Nothing gets my personal brand going like interacting with companies who can't be bothered to have a human being write some words at me.

I don't really have much sympathy for a company that expects to reap the rewards of social media engagement, but thinks it takes way too much time to... engage socially.

"Nowadays stuff like proper closures, immutability, a good async story, etc, is considered a necessity by discerning hackers." Python has proper closures; I would hope discerning hackers know the difference between a closure and a

Don't try to fake anonymous functions in Python. Use its strengths: decorators, generators, etc. Anonymous functions work well (err, passably) in JavaScript and Perl. They don't really work in Python, and of course you'll j

You're either misunderstanding Python 3 or misunderstanding Perl 6. Python 3 was a few breaking changes made to Python 2. Perl 6 was a completely new language, designed from scratch, with little in common with Perl 5 aside from bits of

I don't see any reason to ever limit passwords to less than 100 characters.

We said exactly the same things about Flash not so many years ago, including the pretentious dismissal of anyone who would dare not support the technology we wanted to use. Before that (and to some extent even now) it was operating systems

Oh, you're right. It should definitely be built in Shockwave Flash instead, which is even newer and shinier than JavaScript.

Fantastic. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BoYFJleIMAAmgMH.png:large beta.virginamerica.com is, of course, a blank white void. Filling out a form and clicking some buttons is such futuristic technology that we can no long

You can use it for that, but you can also use it to check for rough interfaces. (The classes are rigged to fool isinstance() via dark magic.) It's fairly common that you want more than one magic method, but don't care too much

Maybe you should collapse these admittedly identical items into variations of the same product, which will reduce the useless duplicated clutter I'd experience when searching your catalogue.

I'm reasonably sure Google is familiar with pagination and filtering, seeing as that's pretty much the entire thing their own website does. I don't see how the same product under a variety of URLs, one for each category it&#x

Python has the abc module, but it would be a bit wordier than "arg=list". Maybe if the builtins were treated as the corresponding abcs.

Even that trivial `print` annotation breaks duck-typing; the print function can actually accept anything that responds to `__str__`. Similarly, is there any reason the example `add` function in the OP shouldn't be able to add strings,

How is duplicate content made "for users"? Why would I want to find exactly the same prose in multiple places?

I'm a little terrified by the prospect of a language designed to be incomprehensible without a stack of tools that will explain it to you.

What bugs me isn't the loss of this shorthand, but the decrease in shorthand overall. Punctuation and other built-in language features give me a baseline for what I can understand and what I can always rely on. If I see ~T, even if

Given that we're talking about Python, it should be pretty obvious how we all feel about those things.

So you're happy to generate the SQL via some language-specific API, and you're happy to have the results turned into objects... What's the problem with an ORM again? Half the point of SQLA is that the ORM is built on the co

by eevee 12y ago
SQLAlchemy also does this. Which is appropriate, since "ORM" implies that on some level you're mapping existing relations to existing objects .

This is very strange to me. I had a LinkedIn for a couple years, but it served me absolutely no purpose except one or two pings from recruiters who were looking for vastly different skillsets anyway. I got sick of the security issues, end

That's a pretty good question, and (as noted elsewhere) it's amazing that nobody saw this coming. It took them a while to settle on him, too.

I didn't do anything illegal, either. Yet you seem to have some unspoken set of rules beyond mere law that govern what is acceptable behavior. I've got some of those, too. I don't want him to not have a job. I want him to

I have strong emotional investment in Mozilla, because they fight to do the right thing, not just do whatever's mainstream and normal. Prop 8 was emphatically not the right thing. Eich has fought some of the battles I sympathize with

Okay, that's fair, I'm clearly exaggerating. But that actually makes the comparison even better! Lots of people pushed for prop 8, which in turn affected lots of people. Lots of people complained about Eich, which in turn affect
