Maybe that's true if your last name is Obama, but both my sisters had accounts before they were 13 (hell my youngest sister still isn't 13...).

Not all of them are! PyCon ( http://us.pycon.org/2011/tickets/ ) is 30% cheaper (40% if you got earlybird).

... why is this being reposted? It's old, really old, like 2 years old (or 317 internet years). Scott apologized, took down the original (this is someones backup of it), he and Jesper made up, drank some scotch (or maybe it was whiskey),

Just playing with it it feels great, one pony request: make it easier to just open a folder. When just trying out an editor I don't care to setup projects and whatnot, I just want the codebrowser to be rooted at some project dir on my syst

I didn't cover that because the person I was speaking with was not a programmer, however I think what I said still holds up: within the scope of programming haskell vs PHP is pretty huge, but I don't think they're particularly different cog

I'm not so sure about this, it recently came up in discussion with a former teacher of fine, here's what I said then: To the linguistics question I just had a discussion about this with my boss (who's a linguist by training, currently on le

There are few things that irk me more than judging a legal appointee based on the clients they've represented.

Yes, it probably is. It's a bit of a chicken and egg situation though, everyone who knows RPython well enough to make the changes can already understand the errors just fine.

cx_Oracle is py3k compatible. I'm really confident we'll have Django running on py3k by the end of the summer, hopefully I'll have something exciting to announce about this coming up, but if not I'll just dedicate my summer to it.

Aren't the computation complexity of STL data structures defined by the spec?

2 reasons IMO: 1) We don't have Python3 support yet, we're working towards it, but we're behind some. Have the reference implementation be a regression over the previous one doesn't make much sense. 2) We don't have enough users. And honor

Yup, statutory damages for copyright infringement suck for individuals, but for someone like Google they're not awful (AFAIR it's something like $7,500 or $150,000 depending on something per count).

Jump into #pypy on freenode, we're mostly working on getting our 2.7 implementation passing all tests (we merged that branch into defaul this week), so there are various tasks in: fixing our implementation of stdlib modules, interpreter lev

Damn, I thought needing something like 3GB to compile PyPy on 64-bit put us in some class on unreasonable usage, interesting to see that it's apparently not so crazy for large projects.

Isn't that the point of their book (and also books by guys like Steven Landsburg), what we call economics is really just sociology applied to buying and selling things.

Maybe "luck" will find you, but we need to acknowledge the scope and scale of his luck. Being willing to work hard and being good at what you do will probably ensure you a decent job, but I don't think you can generate luck to the tune of

This is definitely a concept we'll explore for DjangoCon (assuming it's as successful as I expect it to be), the one issue is DjangoCon only had 2 tracks last year, it's a lot harder to have 50% of your talks at any given time dedicated to
