Very cool. Except for the using milk part (but that can likely be replaced with other things). You could automate this with a drip. Drips of opaque coloured liquid slowly drop into the container. The camera could even figure out when a d

This is a great big collection of surprising things you can do with javascript. I'm not so sure it's a good thing it's being released. These are probably idioms you want to avoid writing in code if possible. Learning how to read them is p

I like how in the thread, Linus explained the use of using bash and perl as prototyping languages. Git has been a multiple language project for a while. Both hg and bzr also use multiple languages. Both use C and python. With the C part

There are two web implementations, and neither are complete(eg, twisted.web does not support even http 1.1). Even the twisted developers will tell you they are not happy with the web code in twisted. twisted.web2 was the future and twiste

Can python use mutiple cpus/cores with threads? Short answer no. Long answer, yes for some things. Even cpu bound tasks can release the GIL to do processing(for non python api tasks).

Seems likely that the gas part could be abstracted out... once the rest is working ok. Then people could have a choice of putting in a solar or a wind generator... or having all three. Gas lets them simplify the problem. Since the power g

Run a compile job, or a video encode... then try web browsing. Perhaps you could time clicks to open new tabs in your browser. Or switch virtual spaces. With the background work, you should notice no or very little difference. Since the i

A quick easy way with python is to mess around in the interpreter 'testing'... then paste those tests in as a 'doc test'. That's the quickest way to test that I know of with python... and suits people who code by trying things out in the i

I think this article is wrong for three reasons. Products can be successful without businesses being successful. Success is determined by meeting your own goals. Acquiring paying customers is a business success. A piece of software can b

Indeed. They need someone to go through and give nice urls to all of their documents. Also be good for someone at 1 infinite loop to get a list of all the old urls, and map them to the new urls. Probably not a hard task for their web team

This is a very simple way to structure gui applications. Kind of like an imgui... but with a context. Definitely easier than the callback model that javascript/html provides.

Good luck teaching children how to use objc. Seriously, python is way better than objc from an elegance perspective. You don't need a crazy bloated cocoa API built on top with python either. A book came out about pygame co-authored by some

Apple has many competitive products to Adobe. Of course they're not going to try and help Adobe. It's also why they aren't supporting an open video tag. They have competitive products to it.

Most people do not use browsers which support the video tag. Those people that do use a browser that does - well each of those browsers implements it differently.

It's nice comparing the python code from this article to what you can do now. Modern python/numpy will look more elegant. Also modern numpy can do GPU, multi core and SIMD optimisations (not out of the box... yet). There's a few pages on th

The situation is that artists get ripped off by business people. Becoming more of a business person (in a lot of cases) destroys the art that person makes. In Australia there are new laws for collectable artwork. Where the original artists
