Peewee [1] is my tool of choice because of its convenience and flexibility combined. I can create pretty complex queries using its Query API, but also execute arbitrary queries when I know I need something a little more nonstandard. Plus th

Well, the first port I find of GCD for linux, libdispatch, hasn't been updated since October, but it looks plausible for use. ANSI C doesn't employ the same kind of code block mentality that Objective-C offers, so the interface is

I stand corrected -- there has been some movement. The desktop app is largely unchanged (visually) over the last few years, which I suppose isn't necessarily a negative aspect. Feels a little outdated but still works just as well, I ca

The Hit List [1] was my go-to when I was in school. Really painless information ingestion, and convenient means of displaying data. Unfortunately it is not well-maintained in terms of updates... hoping it will see some love eventually... [1

Largely inspired from Zach Holman's "boom" and with some inspection of the implementation details of Ben Tappin's Python port thereof ("bam"), I whipped this up a couple years ago and have found it useful from

Pack this up and get it on PyPI! Nice simple little script but quite inconvenient to get onto a system, especially if one prefers using package managers.

Gah. I would love having this.

The first time I read this headline I thought it said "Nazi Australia" which would be weirder.

Some cool stuff here, though I think a demonstration video or fancy animation would be nice. Like someone else has mentioned, it's a little intimidating to give full access just to see how it works -- you might convert more customers i

Excellent. If you want your employees to stay, and to contribute their ideas to you instead of running off to your competitors or starting their own companies, it's so so so much better to just treat your employees better than the bind

I love the thought of being able to use Python on the client side of the web. We need more commonplace asynchronous paradigms, however. I do like how this project makes sure to point out that the DOM interface is intended for consumption by

This website does the worst job explaining what it's even here for. I have to spend ten minutes reading obfuscated to text to understand that the font shows different glyphs when I type a "dangerous" word? Why do this in a fo

This is one of those times where you are literally allowed, even encouraged, to think of only yourself. You have cancer. You can't avoid that. It sucks. It's one of the worst hands to be dealt. Get treatment. Get the best damn tre

I think you and many people are overcomplicating this subtopic into the legal context of receiving C&D, etc letters. Their service is their software. They have control over it. If they wish to impose technical limitations to how it may

When you are cooking, and your recipe calls for transferring a pan from the stove to the oven for finishing, do not forget that the handle to said pan will indeed get very hot while in the oven, and you should wear oven mitts when retrievin

I can feel the RSI already. I was excited that this might have been a weird hybrid between a mouse and a trackpad where the tracking surface goes on your fingertip, and everything becomes a trackpad.

This. Making potentially baseless claims and not explaining their impact beyond "they're bad!" is the kind of rhetoric a middle schooler uses before he or she learns to write proper persuasive prose. While I agree that data s

If anyone is interested in the biography of the Manhattan Project in general, including much of the goings-on at Los Alamos, I really must recommend Rhodes' "The Making of the Atomic Bomb" ( http://www.amazon.com&#x

It took me about five minutes to realize how dumb I was and that this was literally Vanilla JS.

What's throwing me off -- and I'm sure it's something trivial I'm not seeing -- is how we add the functions to the routes dictionary. When is the decorator's code actually executed? Is that done at import time? My a

When connecting to your web page via HTTPS it attempts to load JQuery via HTTP and FireFox cowers in fear of XSS attempts. Don't do that.
