>> How we'd override "pass" boggles my mind. > An expression that does nothing. Putting `''` in a function is equivalent to `pass` in that it lets the parser do its stuff. `pass` could be a builtin defined as `None` and the b

For offline use (in whatever sense that term might be applicable to YouTube) I like clive for ripping the full video and ffmpeg for extracting the audio stream. Does your service use any such tools under the hood? clive: http://clive.sou

What happens if they reject the patchset? I could imagine an outcry of Microsoft zealots slamming the open source community because they refused to cooperate with Microsoft.

Oh, I didn't think about the order. Django's approach to this issue is really simple and only requires that all your Struct fields are instances of some common base class. http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/trunk/django/fo... cr

I'd rather utilize a metaclass in this special case. This would retain the notion of Foo being a type much better than transmogrifying a function into a class. (Granted, there's not that big a difference technically but you're tricking othe

That reminds me of the following statement: (I'm probably paraphrasing here -- my Google-fu failed me) Your arguments can be driven by your emotions but your emotions cannot be your arguments.

In order to break down tasks into next smallest steps Chandler might come in handy. http://chandlerproject.org/ No matter what your collections will just keep growing (if you do not delete items but rather mark them DONE ) so that could

I always thought our current problem is not really producing energy but rather transporting it? So if you have a reactor in New York City it'll be rather useless for the people in, say, Moscow. That's the reason nobody is doing this power
