   Unladen Swallow never failed to remove the GIL, that goal was never even attempted before the project fizzled out.

   I disagree with almost everything you said, but I'm going to take note of one bit in particular: "there's no correlation between skill level and having a GitHub repo" There may be no evidence of any correlation, but I'm willing to

   30-60 minutes of my time is worth something like a year of $10 a month charges. That's assuming no maintenance ever, good luck with that.

   My grandfather died of colon cancer and I know my Dad gets a colonoscopy every single year , and I suspect I will too once I'm a bit older.

    Those are great questions. And I don't think they have easy answers. For me, the motivation is to eventually get to a put where this can replace my day job. Until it can get there, unfortunately, it's an awkward balance to not let the money

    The big issue here is that they still have the same limit on the max they can donate, $24 a week. Which, while fantastic! Isn't enough to move the need in the way the parent poster was discussing.

    Honestly, the numbers for several of us (myself included) have well surpassed funding our beers with friends. Which is amazing, a little bit scary, and incredible. Unfortunately that leaves me in this awkward position where it's not enough

    They're not exploring a research space, they're exploring a space where the options are incredibly well known, and they're jumping from solution to solution, even after they appear to find a success.

    At this point I have to just laugh. They literally already paid for the development of a prototype for a faster PHP, and decided not to pursue that route: http://morepypy.blogspot.com/2012/07/hello-everyone.html . I have to assume they hav

    There are plenty of reasonable options besides bcrypt, including PBKDF2 and scrypt.

    Surely you have to make an actual argument as to why it's useful though? So far all I've heard is "my friends don't use G+".

    I'm 21 and having just moved across the country for a job this isn't resonating with my life so much, since I already had a lot of friends where I am. But looking back, it's pretty clear that 90% of my parents' good friends came from two c

    One point in and its already dead wrong, you never filter input, only output. Edit: Everyone talking about databases: paramaterized queries, check them out.

    We have jobs right now, it's not like we're hobos. But if you ask any open source developer what's stopping them from adding cool new feature X, fixing bug Y, or starting project Z that they're excited about the answer distribution will lo

    Yes, that could be related to the fact that bitcoin isn't something anyone with any familiarity with economics should take seriously. (For the purposes of this comment "familiarity with economics" should be understood to mean: has so much

    I'd say the biggest difference between Python and Ruby's is that Python's has a syntax, whereas Ruby's is a function call, this makes Ruby's more flexible since you can always replace it, add new arguments, or in other ways manipulate it.

    It's not unreasonable, it only seems unreasonable because of the context. I've seen several really good programmers (and overall bright people) mix the implementation of the two up.

    I don't have a response to that, other than to say, now you know why I decided to write compilers instead of pursue a graduate degree in computer science.

    a) If you aren't touching that land mine you're missing the point. You can't say that one is free (except maybe it has a cost), and the other has a cost. That's just nonsensical. b) Second, I'm going to argue that tests are actually free.

    I wasn't trying to catch the error of "program author is a moron who doesn't know the difference between Fibonacci and factorial". Were I trying to catch that error I would have been aware of it, and then much less likely to write the bug
