Or with Murdoch it's BIG, not little. For example, after all Murdoch newspapers in Australia (which is most newspapers) went for one political party. That party won the election, and afterwards Murdoch got almost a billion $ tax cut

Most games are on iOS and android, not windows. Firefox, and Mozilla, the biggest users of rust are windows developers, and multiplatform C++ developers. C++ has no packages, and making multiplatform code in C++ is hard. Very little code is

A subset of twisted is already running on python3... enough that projects are going into production with twisted on python3. Full python3 plan for twisted here: http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/Plan/Python3

Parts of twisted are already ported to python3. Enough, that some projects are already running on python3 in production. See their full plan here: http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/Plan/Python3

Nice one :) If there's anyone not using python3 in production now, I'd be wary of that team. Maybe it could be forgiven two years ago, but now... There's just too much to be gained with modern python. But hey, there's s

tldr; 'watchpoints' in python can do this already(since before clojure existed), but it's not built into standard pdb. You could do the allocator yourself with a custom allocator easily. Just inspect the object type or objec

Also, for pair programming it gives the pair a common goal to aim towards. The people know the inputs, and outputs up front. So one person doesn't just stare into space whilst the other person codes the function, and then says "

What do you think of C++ and timing attacks? What do you think of the surface area of the C++ runtime itself? How do you find auditors for C++ code, when the standard is so big no one person could possibly understand it all? These are gen

This is similar to the Apple SSL bug. Good on them for looking for similar errors in their own code. Thanks Redhat, for the audit, and for making the internet safer! This is a win for Free software (and OSS), since the history of the bug c

Both good comments :) Another couple of ways to improve your coding... Start with comments outlining what you're going to do. If you are pair programming, this shows the other person what your overall plan is. It also acts as a mini

People are trying to get the law changed in the USA. It needs a show of support to help get this done. It's much harder work than writing snarky one liners on some internet forum for nerds whilst you sip your expensive coffee. This is

Extensible editors like Sublime, vim and emacs, amongst others, let you program them easily. As a programmer this is useful. This plugin is maybe 30 lines of code. With 1,988 packages and 1,436 authors(in Sublime's case) they turn int

They clearly "manipulate any product ratings" by dishonestly filtering their users which would rate the game well, and those that wouldn't. This manipulates the product ratings by only letting 5 star ratings go through.

Except every other provider enables swap by default. I understand another reason why they don't do it though... SSD has a very low amount of writes available, and if low mem machines are swapping all the time, then the SSD will wear ou

Once you know how a reviewer views thinks relative to your own perspective, their reviews become much more relevant to you. I read some critics even though I never agree with them, but because I know how they think and what they like there
