My priority is comfort, both physically and socially, that means if I'm somewhere decent, or important it's compfortable to be dressed properly. OTHO I work from home and during the summer time I'll be damned if I'm wearing anything beside

True, but then the rational user might conclude that if you can't manage to have a performant static website you might not be able to handle the complicated stuff.

So pretty technical question about the svn support. It's my understanding that the way svn does certain operations basically requires massive responses, and svn doesn't support chunked responses; how do you guys not blow up on RAM serving

Very exciting to see the major strides they're making. Unfortunately not all the updates are getting rolled out to all users, which makes it harder to get people "selling" the phone to their friends. I've got a G1 Dev phone and I'm still

I was discussing doing some contracting work with someone, which I mentioned to a friend of mine, who told me not to sign anything before talking to him. A few days later I asked if that meant he was looking for contractors, I was working

They're not all stdlib changes though. The lack of certain string methods on bytes makes implementing the stdlib changes unreasonably difficult.

They did have an RC though, or at least a beta (which couldn't have been that restricted).

I'm not a moral relativist, but yes laws are different by locale. > but murder, or the killing of someone, is validated every day, whether it be through execution or self-defense. Killing does not murder make. Murder is specifically us

No, it's not. But the measures that would be necessary to actually stop it are identical, as they are for just about anything: completely draconian laws.

Well, that's a matter of perspective. In any event if this were to be implemented in the Django template language it would be implemented as a tag like this, just as {% for %}, {% if %} and everything else are. Everything is a first class

It's not a question of censoring the internet. It's a question of whether piracy (copyright infringement) is illegal and unethical. The fact that we can't stop murder except by draconian measures (outlawing picking up a rock even...) does

Unladen Swallow is a series of changes to the CPython VM, so no PyPy doesn't gain anything from it.

Brandon may be a professional web developer, but at PyCon he gave a talk about the internal algorithms of the dict, he knows his stuff. It's just, as Jesse points out, a lot of work.

I don't know if it's the same effect, but I've found that I write as if I were giving a speech or a talk. I suspect this is because, growing up almost all of the arguments I presented were oral ones, in school we didn't really write persua

Joe Stump gave a similar talk at EuroDjangoCon last year (the topic is officially: dealing with a fuckload of data, but a lot of the same lessons). Unfortunately I have no idea what became of the recordings.

Right github would record the author as being the person. SVN has no conception of an author/committer distinction.

My instinct is that it's just increasing the number of attributed commits. Before Github the committer was always whichever user actually committed it, here the committer is the author.

As an on and off PyPy contributor here's my impression: the goals for the next release are going to be a) cpyext support a wide variety of real world extensions, b) keep making the JIT faster for as many apps and benchmarks as possible, c)

I've also never been faced with the decision to torture someone or not, that doesn't stop me from making moral judgement about those actions either. The point of an ethical system is to help you make judgements about decisions, if your ans
