   Removing the GIL won't magically solve any problems. This has been tried before, with disappointing results, which is why I'm reluctant to put much effort into it myself. In 1999 Greg Stein (with Mark Hammond?) produced a fork of Python (1

   Mozilla/Gecko is not just a browser engine, it's a platform (XPCOM) and everything is implemented on top of this platform as XPCOM components/interfaces. The bad thing is that these components are not very easy to use, write and integrate i

   It's all about quotes. Is it a bug? I must admit (without quotes) = not stupid. "I must admit" (with quotes) = stupid.

   Nice. This whole "Rock star" thing looks to be here only to generate a lot of buzz. I bet they will change it in a week.

    Frameworks were invented to lower the barriers of entry to programming Bullshit. Modern frameworks like Django and Rails were extracted from real-life projects written from scratch by real programmers to let the real programmers re-use co

    No, I just say that getting paid for amount of time motivates developers to write complex and bloated code in complex and bloated languages. There was nothing about "writing from scratch" or libraries available. Example: client wants new fe

    That's the main reason why languages like C++ and Java are so popular. Getting paid for amount of time or amount of code makes succinct and simple solutions less interesting for developer. As we all know, succinctness = power. Everybody los

    Good point here. In case of Adobe and Microsoft piracy actually creates income. If we didn't have pirated MS Office and Adobe Creative Suite folks would improve openoffice.org and the GIMP/Scribus/Inkscape instead and these monopolies wou

    It's definitely everything for most "normal" users (like my sister or Russian-only speaking friends). Mentioning of Russian-only limitations or providing English-language results would be confusing for such users (most of them don't even

    I used Yandex for many years for Russian-language searches and also I read all PG essays and I've never thought about using Yandex for English-language searches. If I search Google for "Succinctness is Power" with "Russian language only" op

    Another nice thing about Yandex is that they use Django in several project and actively contribute to it. They even held Django sprint this summer in their Moscow office.

    AFAIK it's their policy to index only Russian language content and they do it pretty good. They can index domains in any zone as long as their content is in Russian. Anyway IMHO Google gives better search results in Russian. I guess they ha

    Flash doesn't run on iPhone and it is often slow and buggy on anything but Windows. I bet that Apple, Google and browser developers will support standards-based alternatives. We can see this happening in the original post.

    HTML5 looks to be a real Flash killer. Nobody will ever want Flash or SilverLight when all browsers start to support <canvas>, <audio> and <video>.
