I'd imagine chewing on a wooden ruler tastes kind of like chewing on a wooden pencil—yuck :P Bic pens are where it's at!

At the risk of downmods I'm going to complain that the first three letters of any product's name should not be HiV. Especially since at a glance it looks like the i is capital.

If I was hiring I'd say "point me at a public repo of some of your code."

Delivering a basically feature-complete browser after near complete radio silence is pretty impressive if you ask me.

Vista needs you to elevate permissions to install to Program Files. This is from one of the devs in an "off-the-record" QA session here: http://www.shacknews.com/laryn.x?id=17826898#itemanchor_1782...

Agreed on the presentation. What struck me is how technical it was (for a comic book quick overview). It's obviously geared towards developers--they really wanted to plant their flag in the sand and say "we're doing this: here is why it is

Basically, WebKit is the most immediately understandable large scale C++ codebase I've ever seen. They have a strict culture of code reviews on check-in, and reverting any changesets that cause regressions. My commits have been rejected f

Have you guys SEEN the respective code bases for Mozilla and WebKit? Really, this was inevitable. Their whole tabs-as-process thing is too, when you think about it. Just imagine the potential for a browser-as-OS-with-processes-and-everythin

World-changers? A very noble ambition amidst the saturation of self-obsessed meandering web 2.0 circle-jerking that usually graces random blogs like this. But let me <rant> for a just a second oh so typically... I'm so tired of the

Maybe he's talking about >>> funcs = [] >>> for x in xrange(3): >>> funcs.append(lambda: x) >>> sum(f() for f in funcs) 6 Were you expecting 3? Lambdas (besides havi

Keep in mind that Python 2.6 already has the new multiprocessing package, which presents a simple interface for multiprocess computation. I'd like to poke around with Python's compiler module and look at the AST--you could enforce that a ce

My recent experience with Vista has been hell. It virtualizes c:\Program Files for "compatibility" so that you can see bizarre situations like writing to a file and then having it not exist where you thought it was. To avoid these virtual s

NearlyFreeSpeech has been pretty kickass so far--no downtime that I've noticed. I don't exactly move any traffic, but since you only pay for the bandwidth you use, it's perfect.

Despite some of its unpythonic style, I like wxPython, because it uses native widgets everywhere. This is a huge advantage over every other toolkit, in my opinion. Right now I'm experimenting with on an alternative to wxPython called wxpy u

github seems pretty cool so far, BUT I don't like that their webpage is kind of sluggish, or that they delegate issue tracking out to a pay service (lighthouse) in a related note, committing/branching all the time locally and then just doin

I'm in a small startup developing a cross-platform desktop IM client. In Python. It's going to kick the pants off of Adium, Pidgin, and especially Trillian ;)
