I have been developing for the web since 2002, but I have only been doing Python for the last few years, the "mod_python is dead" phase. In fact with the first site that I launched in python, I was starting to setup a beta environ

Is there some low level checking by the js engine to see if it should stop processing the function if there is no return? Or, to put it another way, does adding the return explicitly tell the engine, "ok we're done here", as

The fact of the matter is, this kid will be dealing with legacy type issues over the next 40-45 years of his career. 10 years from now, devs will be grumbling about supporting some technology we view as common place and whiz-bang today. Yes

Honestly, as a freelancer, if you want to keep your domains and email on GD, that is fine with me. Their shared hosting is so inexcusably slow and difficult to manage,it makes me wonder why there hasn't been a class action lawsuit against t

Will definitely read when the site is back to normal, i like Joshua Porter's stuff. The article by the ex Wave developer on HN is a good read in the mean time.

This guy is part of the problem, a loser who wants to bloat the system. What will this idiot do when the taxpayers revolt and he loses his cush job? Bitch and moan about "budget cuts" like all the other hacks.

Saying it was a lost decade is misleading, a year ago the dow was up 3000 points from where it was in 1999, and that is after it went down to the 7000's in 2003, which was close to where it was in 1996. Dow cycles are indepenent of our neat

Aside from the new media concerns, the Times' left slant has definitely cost them a chunk of their old base, not a lot, but some. There used to be a lot of conservative democrat types who used to read the Old Gray Lady, but they no longer d
