This person was fired for pointing out systematic racism at google. If it is true that they have a separate building where the 'people of color' work segregated from the others, that is pretty outrageous. It really does say something about

GC code runs differently depending on the code running around it. It causes the code to be non deterministic, and introduces a side effect. I've written code in a reference counted language(python) which processes about a gigabyte of data

http://pygame.org also has a pygame subset for android which includes a port of cpython. Not all modules are included though. Some python packages are missing, and some pygame modules are not included too. However it works well enough

Simples. Charge less than $1000 multiple times ;) aka, saas. Another way. Start a relationship cheaply or for free, and then afterwards it's much cheaper to sell to your customers. No $50k salesperson then. There are lots of other ways t

This is how a lot of businesses work. You place an order with company A. Company A orders from company B, then delivers to you. There are reasons some companies do well at this. A lot of it has to do with setting expectations, and giving

This is a company that has been caught falsifying safety reports, and had resignations because of it. I would not trust them to choose in the interest of everyone - but instead in the interest of the company.

The writer is not an expert on earth quakes. Making such a bold claim that nothing can go wrong is plainly false. Just because they are an expert in one area, does not mean they are an expert in all areas. There are already a number of pe

They support cvs, svn, git, hg, and bzr. Very impressive. Overall their website navigation seems to be heaps better. I know this rewrite has been a long time coming. I know it's also been done in python, and by some quite good develope

$400 - $1600 - $3200 per 6-8 hours? No one can say without knowing about the specific app, the advert implementation, and the amount of users you loose because of the implementation. I'd guess something around that much though.

The python paradox is not true anymore - since it is taught in so many schools these days. Unlike in 2004 when the article was written. However the main thesis holds true still... just replace python with haskell, erlang, clojure, or some

Did they follow all the rules? Or were they assisted by wind in one direction? It's not just the act of not calling the record keepers - it is following the rules, and having people make sure that there is no funny business going on.
