Same thing happened with Sins of the Solar Empire, no DRM, tons of piracy, so much so that they had to block out pirated copies from their online servers, the load was totally disproportionate to sold copies.

No. I'm proud to affix my name in opposition to SOPA, if descent is outlawed my opposition to this bill will be the least of my problems, because I'll oppose that law with every once of devotion I can bring to bear.

The NumPyPy codebase is fun! You can to learn a bit about all different parts of PyPy, you can play with jit stuff, Python interp stuff, or just plain numeric stuff. It's programmed in a pretty nice meta-programming way in Python, and it'

The article seems to be really pushing that law review articles are obscure things that no one put another professor of law could understand or care about, but as a CS student who's taken one course in ethics at a very un-humanities univers

Django's ORM does (obj.full_clean()), but he's not using Django's ORM, he's using mongoengine, I have no idea if it does.

I curse more than a sailor, really. It's not that (I almost cursed in this sentence) hard to not curse in a presentation. It's not that hard to not make your slides one step short of a porno. It is difficult to write and deliver a presen

That's impressive, both the awk and the lisp versions of that code seem pretty obfuscated.

I can't say my parents had lessons this cool, but I did spend some of my time in my teenage years working at my cousins' vending machine warehouse, doing various tasks: counting the take (and filling out the spreadsheet), filing refill slip

I really love the trick for efficiently reading 4 chars and checking them out of a string. I like it so much I've been working towards making it happen automatically on PyPy so if you write something like: if buf[i:i+4] == "POST":

Python is in no sense an everything-is-a-hashtable language.

Node.JS isn't a language, python is just as compiled as java is, etc.

No! I loved code search, I'd use it as evidence when proposing the deprecation of API methods in open source projects :)

Because I see bits of them in myself. An example: my sixth grade teacher math teacher frequently said that good mathematicians were lazy, that the simplest solution to a problem was often best, and that we didn't need to use overly complex

Great idea, I recently (I'm in college now) went back and thanked several of my elementary school teachers who were really excellent. They don't get nearly enough thanks, but I know for damn sure I wouldn't be where I am today without them
