You can make an argument that we should be contemplating changing our constitution, but what I read you saying was: "How about you just do whatever you want, instead of trying to actually follow the law?"

The only issue that comes up is synchronization, because it requires maintaining identity, localized escape analysis alleviates a lot of the burden here, but the fact remains that anytime you escape an Integer you'll need to allocate it, be

An alternative to what? Standardized testing? How about, non-standard testing? Do we have such a dearth of qualified teachers that we think we need to strip the people in charge of the classroom of any discretion? What sort of cognitive dis

Probably the fact that it strongly discourages polysyllabic words... and you know, thoughts.

Small world, Dave and I just ran into issues related to this a week ago (I suppose it may have motivated his email). Namely that there was no single API to get the assembler generated for an RTL (register-transfer-language, GCC's final IR)

I seriously doubt it, considering a) RPython is a strict subset of Python, operating on the in memory representation of Python objects and does aggressive type inference, whereas Cython adds additional features (and syntax) to the language

Do you think a closure isn't state?

It's going to have all these same steps, but they'll mostly be in python. I'll try to write a tutorial on this at some point.

I don't play fantasy basketball myself, but from reading the comments a lot of the other commenters do.

Yeah, this is really unfortunate. I run a game thread generator for the NBA subreddit (essentially just builds a nice pre-game data table for a user to create a thread), I guess it's going to stick with insane scraping for now: https://gi

This is really bad advise. If I commit a TODO to my code, it's because the difficulty of fixing vastly outstrips the value of fixing it. If it was an easy thing to fix, I'd have done it myself.

That wasn't fixed in 4.6.1, I filed the issue against 4.6.1 :)

Dumb question, is there a way to verify if a given commit is in a GCC release? Specifically, I'm interested in r181014.

In Python, every object is an example of a monad. It has two possible values: None and anything_else. Is no more true then, "It has two possible values: 'Hello, I am a sexy bear' and anything_else."

Yes. I dropped out of high school during my sophomore year, I spent the next 18 months of so teaching myself to program, economics, and a bunch of other stuff. It wasn't taking a break from work, but I figure it's relevant.

Ah of course, a SyntaxError would take precedence over their broken builtins.

def pyChallenge(): print sum(s for s in range(1000) if s % 7 != 0 and s % 5 != 0) pyChallenge() Produces a TypeError, and using xrange produces a NameError (Python 3?). I have no idea what they're trying, but it doesn'

If anyone feels like paying my salary for a year, I'd love to work on this project ;) Not surprisingly, at the moment most (all?) of the PyPy developers are Python people, so none of us have invested time into a Ruby VM in our spare time,

LLVM has been looked at, as both a backened for RPython as well as for the JIT, I've written down some of the reasons it's not appropriate for PyPy (particularly WRT the JIT) here: http://www.quora.com/LLVM/Is-LLVM-not-good-for-interpreted

[citation needed] as for numexpr being simpler than PyPy. Using the dumbest measure of simplicity, total code size, it fails: PyPy's NumPy is 167KB of code, NumExpr is 181KB.

No, not much has changed about our regex engine in the last month. However, our `re` module is fully compatible with CPython's so I'm bit confused, are you saying it didn't run something, or was slow?

I highly recommend the video series "Free to Choose", regardless of your politics or background in economics there is something to be learned from it.

In the same spirit (but not the same), one reviewer wrote on a conference paper about PyPy (paraphrased), "this covers some exceptional engineering results, but we wish there was more novel conceptual work". We were very proud of that pape

So you're claiming that anyone who buys a DVD or a CD is acting unethical? Support that.
