I used my mailing address zipcode, without even realizing it wasn't my birth zipcode :)

There were no other males, born on october 8th 1990, in Lakeview, Chicago. I'm a little flabbergasted, to be frank.

That's all well and good, but that's kind of easy to say when there are several established business models for your type of product. And you're a profitable company.

In this thread: people take their personal experiences and try to extrapolate to all programmers everywhere.

What the hell. I read this entire thing, thinking "gee I know quite a few people looking to hire". I have no idea what this guy can do.

I highly reccomend you read, "Localized type inference of atomic types in python" by Brett Cannon (2005), it shines a light on just how much this doesn't work.

Techcrunch is getting into the social commentary business?

Maybe it could look like Python, but for damned sure it wouldn't have the same semantics, unless by statically typed, you really mean "trivially typed".

Err, no thanks? I like my dynamically typed, interpreted + JIT compiled language thank you very much. I'm not ignorant of the type inferenced languages (in fact I use one almost every day), I just don't like it as much.

JS has other fundamental limitations that make it a terrible IR (not being able to choose floating point vs. integer arithmatic is only one of them), there's also the lack of a distinction between hash tables and objects.

You can't make your CPU execute instructions faster, you can make it execute fewer of them though.

I'm aware, there was also almost an LFU cache decorator in there.

Not sure where he gets that Python ships a memoize decorator.

If you want a counter example (because lord knows the singular of anecdote is data ;)), I was basically a straight A student in elementary school. I dropped out of my high school half way through my sophomore year, and though I've never

For those interested in this subject, Alfie Kohn is a good author to read.

This is possibly the stupidest metaphor I've ever heard, I didn't make it more than a paragraph in because I couldn't tell what was meant by it.

This isn't for their javascript, it's for their client which is Python code. Their previous obfuscator has been broken (by at least one nice hacker who told them).

I wouldn't say it's particularly targeted, let me show you the code that makes this happen: https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/src/unroll-if-alt/pypy/objsp...

I've long since lost track of what it means for a comparison between languages to be fair. To put that a different way, how should we have compared them? Should we have downloaded some GC library for C to implement it?

Perhaps it is recognizing it, but it's not doing anything interesting with that knowledge, on my machine GCC emits a call to "__sprintf_chk"

Yes, it does seem a little strange that the result is unused, however changing that to be ``x = <stuff>`` would have no effect on the runtime, the compiler isn't quite good enough yet to realize the result is unused.

My understanding is that it is very common in China because people mostly use a browser supplied by their ISP which is a rebranded IE6.

Which is useful if you're brute forcing, md5 is also algorithmatically broken AFAIK.

In my high school stats class the example that was used was 2 airlines, one of which had better on-time arrival rates at every airport, yet in sum had a worse on-time arrival rate due to where more flights emanated from.

So we're all just projecting what we do onto the smart people here, right?

Well, the problem with it is it has a negative performance impact on everything else in your codebase, the first time you see any pointer you need to check if it's tagged or not. The advantages are clear: you don't need to allocate anythin

The thing wrong with it is it presents itself as a replacement to WSGI without solving all of the problems that WSGI goes (or any new ones, AFAICT). And as a result, no, I won't use it in replacement of a standard for which I have tools ap
