Seems like a new release should be done? Isn't that what RC and pre releases are for? Was the release uploaded to pypi or a download page? If so, that's released IMHO. eg, debian, various news outlets, and others auto scan down

The gimp, and some other projects have recently done non-X releases on OSX. They are much better apps because of it. There are still a few issues in gimp OSX... like some dialogs needing ctrl+c ctrl+v instead of cmd+c cmd+v for copy paste.

Great! Very good news for a wide range of applications. It sounds like it was done in a very elegant way as well. Congrats :) Is it possible to call the garbage collection at a certain time? For games, a common place to do these book ke

When you can only +1 or like something, then the bad reviews do not exist. Advertisers win.

How can a JIT runtime be faster the first time code runs? How can it load faster if it has to load all the compilation code to run the process? Yeah, each has their own benefits. AOT compilation is even theoretically faster in some situat

Firstly... thanks! I love firefox, and appreciate any memory savings. Did you do any tests for animation performance, and test that preloaders are not affected? Are these issues addressed? Hardware accelerated decoding(like IE, and image

Agreed. There are definitely sexism problems in education. Especially kinder, pre-school, and primary school levels. This also has flow on effects to the IT sector. 80% women teachers is a common amount in countries like UK/Australi

It's comments like yours that I don't like. Also, I don't like this comment I'm writing. Gmail had good UX, and people went to it for that. Now it has a few flaws. As people who care about UX, these flaws are worth di

Do you pay corporation tax in Europe? If "stripe in Ireland", and an office in London then you should right?

Also Sparkey seems to work well with bittorrent/rsync distribution. I recall spotify use bittorrent to distribute files to their servers.

Why not go with the contractor? You already have a decent working relationship.

German immigration lawyers who specialise in software developers. I can recommend them. http://www.vpmk.de/ Berlin is very welcoming to qualified software devs. Best of luck!

Yeah, that's definitely a possible rate. A high end one though. I think contract rates for Python devs average around 500/day ($772 USD). Base salary seems to average at 45-50k. Also bonuses. Bonuses in London can be 100% of s

lol. London does quite a lot of risky financial shit. Also you might have heard of a little company kicking the shit out of Intel... ARM. Based in Cambridge UK, that is also where most tech investments in Europe are happening (not London

So you've enjoyed all the marketing and Google employee upvoting?

Wrong. Those examples are IO bound - memory. You'll find the CPU waiting on memory in these cases. JSON is parsed in C with CPython, or in assembly with PyPy. As a real world example, I've done realtime image processing of a gig

Pretty good article. I'm glad that it mentions freshly roasted and light roasting as the most important factors. This is true, but most people have never experienced it. Roasts a few hours old are the best!! Article does not mention

Yeah, firebug still has quite a lot of polish compared to the others. Perhaps it has to do with the contributors being expert UI developers, and firebug developers second. Whereas the other tools are mostly developed by employees who do fu

People working on a better democracy would do too :) Rather than early 90s web guest book, we need late 90s slashdot, or even better... 2013 HN/reddit.

If it is trivial, can you disprove it? Quacks like a plutocracy... We need better democracies.

Great work :) I also miss that feature. It's been good to see the steady work on the developer tools. I still spend the majority of my time in firebug/chrome/ie8/safari though... but it seems the time will come soon wh

gcc is in C++ for a while now. gcc has been becoming more modular over previous releases, and is becoming more modular in the future. For example, there are plugins since 2010. Your information is outdated, so it makes your opinion seem un
