I don't really see what's so problematic about "We’ve learned the basics of Clojure’s syntax and evaluation model. Now we’ll take a tour of the basic nouns in the language." Am I missing something?

I'd been meaning to write this for a while, but Node.js's security release on Friday was absolutely the impetus to sit down and finally hammer it out.

The government doesn't get to escalate, that's not how it works. The government has structural, fundamental, limitations on its power: http://alexgaynor.net/2013/oct/02/thoughts-lavabit/

This is inaccurate. The individuals making comments were not ejected from the conference, they were informed that their words were having effects they might not be intending, they apologized, and returned to the conference. I can in no way

I'm familiar with the incident (I current serve as the co-chair of the PyCon Program Committee, as well as a board member for the Python Software Foundation). I'm just curious if the OP was implying that anything would have been b

Please stop replying to people like this. It's extremely discouraging to people, and not helpful to the PyPy project (of which I'm one of the developers). People have a right to have a problem with our software without trying to f

Please file bugs. We can't fix issues we don't know exist.

It's worth noting that PyPy also supports epoll (and kqueue), and has for a few versions.

You can't compare measurements taken on different computers, for all you know the OP has a potato and I have a speed demon toaster.

PyPy also manages to speed this program up (or at least, what I understand this program to be): Alexanders-MacBook-Pro:tmp alex_gaynor$ time python t.py . real 0m0.202s user 0m0.194s sys 0m0.007s Alexanders-

I am emphatically not a lawyer, but while I served as a board member of the DSF, I did speak with one about this! We didn't spend a lot of time on it, but the one think he noted was to avoid using the word "scholarship", beca

PyPy wasn't, but as a result of the groundwork we laid in building it, I (and several contributers) were able to build Topaz in under a year: http://topazruby.com/

If you really care about efficiency (and are using PyPy), an actually efficient way to concat strings: from __pypy__.builders import StringBuilder builder = StringBuilder(<size estimate, optional>) for i in xrange(10000)

No it doesn't, and that heuristic isn't possible. It's based on looking at the reference counting and mutating an immutable object. It's pretty awful.

Really though, what isn't dangerous in C if you don't understand it. (Hell, most of C is dangerous even if you understand it).

Not a lawyer, but if the software project had an independent owner for its trademark, I believe that they'd have a case against 10gen. The name is deliberately chosen to provoke confusion between the two.
