> it is assumed that they are good mathematicians (i.e. if they could know what x and y are at some point, they would know). Ok that's the part I was missing. The problem makes significantly more sense now.

Maybe my thinking is a bit slow here, but can't you even only begin to hope to answer this question if you assume Alice and Bob are cooperating in some fashion?

PyPy's objects are smaller than CPython's, however the steady state interpreter is larger, and the JIT adds some additional overhead due to bookeeping and generated machine code.

epoll was new in CPython 2.6, PyPy currently targets Python 2.5, we have a branch where we're working towards Python 2.7 support (we skipped a step), that will include epoll support.

Sure, but we have a 64-bit backend ;) After years and years still no one wants to write one for psycho. Edit: Psycho also broke Python's semantics in a few very subtle ways, in that sense it isn't a truly fair comparison.

1000 pages really isn't that much, Django's documentation is about 800 pages printed last I checked.

I've got the opposite perspective, I fly Southwest almost exclusively (for domestic anyways), mostly though their big hub at Midway, I'm hoping for me this just means more or the same, but to more destinations.

If you look at the Django core developers almost none are CS degrees, on the other hand Journalism, English, and Philosophy are all represented. I'm a CS student, however I don't care about my CS courses really, if you're passionate about

While strictly speaking impotence wouldn't prevent this (trivially speaking you could only allow a single tweet with a given content), in practice idempotence is a sufficient to avoid this.

Just pasted a big 'ole file of code (quickest document available to me). QWERTY (current KB) is the worst, by a margin of about 2x (150 v 80 for optimal v 84 for non-personalized optimal).

Technically it's quite similar to Unladen Swallow (in the JIT at least) except for the rewrite from scratch bit. If you're interested in performance in Python the place to look is PyPy though: http://pypy.org/ Disclaimer: I contribute to

Uhh, the JVM does runtime compilation as well.

2 year ago we did an IRC client, tons of twisted and JS, I don't think we were penalized too heavily for it. It did use Django in a few creative ways though.

> 300 actions per second You mean per minute, right? Either that or I'm way worse at SCII than I thought.

My mom likes to tell people I could operate a remote conntrol at 18 months. Not sure if either a) its normal or b) its a good thing.

Why? It's just as easy to get a Gunicorn server running, and it's not platform locked the way this is.

I don't care if they want to establish a paywall, that's there perogative, what I don't like is taking my content, which I uploaded under the belief I'd be able to host it there at no cost to end users (persumably subsidised by ads) and the

Damn, that must take incredible creativity, akin to being asked to code a website from seeing a screenshot of the privacy policy.

Arel's query building syntax appears to be inspired by Django's QuerySets, although there are quite a few other ORMs (and other tools) that use that chaining syntax, so it could be taken from them I suppose.

Hehe, having just been at DjangoCon it's funny to see where we have overlap: * BDD (a single lightning talk) * NoSQL (a panel) * Bacon (served with breakfast on one day) * Web-scale (never said, per-se, but there were a few talks on scal

> any software that isn't full of security holes Bugs sure. But not security holes. Sure no one plans for security holes, but I can say with decent confidence that the websites I write don't have any obvious security holes.
