   It's really satisfying when I read some post with what I exactly wanted to write but didn't have the balls to. Thank you :)

   That'd be adequate for a simple nas (samba/dav) and maybe running a 24/7 torrent client with a simple web interface but that's it, yeah. Still, a box is a box :P

   I agree with you on the documentation thing but, what we see (and I experience also) is that most of the time, when things get serious enough (production), there isn't any available time to document the core of the software properly, l

   In my workspace sometimes people think I'm off to kill their buzz whenever they bring up the topic of introducing another library into our stack because it solves a specific section of our problem-space. The real value and fun imho is

   Yeah! Sadly, if you wanna do actual Python (3.x?) stuff on aws you're better off rolling your own or paying premium to "have it all solved" on heroku :((

    I think he meant, in a slightly acid (but valid) way, that languages don't scale, but concepts and good programming techniques do. You can scale up whatever code you want in whatever language, you just need to structure it in a way tha

    yes an escrow system would definitely help. It'd need some initial 'trust seeding' tho, but if you're not too paranoid that's quite okay. Maybe one of the creators of the system knows someone or runs a car himself a

    aww, you think your GT650M is unsuitable for gaming? you should try my for-development-only first gen core i7 (920!) with a GEFORCE GTX 275 ;P I can still play Team Fortress 2 at 1080p just fine on this tho ;)

    Same here. Ubuntu with quick desktop switching is a breeze to develop, Windows feels cumbersome compared to it, needs way more keystrokes and mouse gymnastics to get the work done ;-) My Windows usage is restricted to gaming and music produ

    I am using Virtualbox with the "Oracle Extension Pack" (to get USB2.0 etc) on Win10. These tips work just fine on Windows 7 as well. In the VM config, be sure to set virtual displays to the same number of monitors you have/ar

    I feel your pain and sadly, the only way I could find around this issue was to use a virtual machine running Windows 7 with Office 2010. I have used Libreoffice's Writer with some degree of success. My dissertation was written in it an

    Dude, I got my 3dfx Monster 3D card, which could do glorious bilinear filtered 640x480@16bpp Quake 1, using a wrapper called Glide, remember that? The funniest thing about that card was that it only could do 3D graphics, so you still needed

    Whenever and wherever someone mentions Quake 1, there will be fists being shaken and bumped! frantic, fluid gameplay, even on lousy hardware (heck, I started quaking on a 486 dx2 66 and it ran quite okay at 320x240), insane difficulty, clev

    That was the main reason I migrated: processing everything internally in Unicode and then encoding/decoding as needed for the outside world creates a well defined 'place-where-unicode-shit-might-bork' border in your project t

    I agree! I also believe efforts like LLVM are actively trying to 'bridge the gap' between both worlds (totally raw VS fully dynamic/scripted). Stuff like emscripten is enabling the "old farts" and the "newfags&

    I was a die-hard 2.x Pythonista, and as Python 3 started to reach 3.[4/5] releases, in my view it started to get really good in terms of new (and actually useful, not just bloated) features. I for instance love the way you can properly

    So true. I'm helping people on a Node App and it was the first time I had to use it to "build" (build what?) the website I should write the API to, lol.
