It's been heart breaking after putting so much effort myself into working on python3 stuff to see the Django people, and the other big slow python framework... zope/plone ignore it. Boo to Django.

yeah, and in china all trains have such checks - but no passport control. However, the eurostar is nicer compared to many airports. Airports are shopping centers, where they want people to stay and buy things. The longer you stay at airpo

This is no where near as big a problem these days with navigation systems. Of course, good cab drivers with the 'knowledge' will beat the navigation system ones a lot. At least now the bad cab drivers get you there now. Without having to

Ahead of time compilers do work quite well for a subset of dynamic languages. Just like tracing JIT works well for a subset. This has been proven by projects like shedskin, cython, and tinypyC++. Given typing information, either explicit

There's much better ways to make money as a developer than making $0.99 iphone apps. Compared to the app store, the global software market is a GIANT with its head in the clouds, where as the app store is a molecule of dung encrusted on a

I loved Kreuzberg when I stayed in Berlin for a month. Seriously considered moving to Berlin then. Hopefully will get to live there again for a summer month and decide.

A few months ago, I mentioned on HN that I've switched to bzr again... after having troubles with it a few years ago. Then someone asked me to report back after a month or so to say how I went. In short, bzr is going fine for me. I've had

Branding is where I think android will win. Google is better at marketing and branding than Apple. Also Android is cooler (sorry apple people it's true). Apple is now seen as mainstream, and boring. Finally android is technically superio

Expect to lose staff if you do this suddenly. I've been at a place where this was implemented... and in a few months a bunch of people had left. Many developers at companies just want to do development... and not sales and support. As us

'War is the cause of the economic problems.' That is likely another possibility. Massive spending, along with intellectual & political effort going towards something which takes away value - this is war.

hello, I do agree with you mostly, and in general I think that censorship is hardly ever good. In this particular case censorship was a force for good. As an aside, Google was running 'used aborigines' adverts from ebay for quite a while.

For two reasons. A lower ghz means it uses less power. The second reason is that there is room for improvement, since this is a development board. It is said another 500mhz or so from released versions, and it's unlikely the atom will do

If you have not been to a place, and only hear propoganda against it, it is very hard to judge. In many ways I think the Chinese are more free than other societies. There are also many different types of people there, and even different cu

pygame does a lot of its threaded graphics, and sound work entirely in C world, because python threads are so limited. Some of us have been using mmapd surfaces with python/pygame for years though. For graphical work, it's not all that har

It is quite easy to time for yourself. Try timing it many times with a sig_bytes off by one(only one character changed). Then compare that with the correct one. You'll notice the (small) difference. There are no tests for it in the keycz

hello, I just tested the keyczar routine, and it can still be found. The sleep needs to be long enough, and random enough that it makes the other variance statistically insignificant. cheers,

I just tested the python fix there, and it was easy to find the difference with the python function given. The solution is to rate limit, and add random small sleeps. A tiny random sleep stops the variance from a string compare showing up.

Rack was built on the design of wsgi, from the python world. So if you didn't know that a lot of the design was copied, I don't think you can give him all that much credit for it as maybe you are. In the README Thanks To section: '* The WSG
