   Anyone know what this is a problem from? I've heard it's a Python Markdown vulnerability, or is it just in reddit' implementation of something?

   That looks amazing. I love the sale in the intro. "You own the most beautiful oceans, the most beautiful mountains" etc. A really interesting way to look at the national park system!

   Interesting how often this is discussed, and it looks like there are already a couple of efforts going on. It was previously mentioned here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=407067 The hacker news SICP group that spawned: http://group

   Sounds like an awesome idea. Having practical examples would really help hammer the ideas into your head as well. I'm glad that people think the idea is good. There is so much goodness in SICP (I only read halfway through it). I really thin

   What value does it gain from becoming a contrib app, other than slower releases and less experimentation? I really don't understand the feeling of wanting things to go into Contrib. Hopefully soon, Russ's "No Bad Pony" talk from Djangocon t

    What problems did you exactly run into? I hear a lot of people say this, but never get good examples, which would hopefully make the framework better.

    I recommend checking out Komodo Edit. It has a really great vim emulation, and has all the nice IDE features that are useful (projects, file browsing, remote file editing). It has most of the nice things from Textmate (the Cmd+t quick open)

    If you can show me a way to get to the source code of a project in less than 4 clicks, you might have a point. I agree that there is a lot of functionality there, but it is so incredibly user hostile that I have never bothered to look throu

    Nobody has pointed out how easily the "news story" of today could be faked and updated. It's a simple script that would be able to read google news, pick out a random story, and throw it in the PGP signed message. How can that not be automa

    In my opinion this is a good thing. I'd much rather have the things that my younger imagination thought up, because they are almost certainly cooler. Making the things that people want who have no idea of the things they aren't supposed to

    I really like the way he is doing the source code revisions. It's always a pain to be in a book and have broken code and not know why. You can take a sneak peak ahead (hg show HEAD+1), or if you make changes and want to revert them, it's re
