   I guess no. In my use case hundreds of keywords are possible and in the ideal scenario `f(a=1, b=2)` and `f(b=2, a=1)` could be distinguished and saved internally in the order they were given. There are easy ways around this, e.g. just pass

   After a couple of years with Python I had a first use case for an ordered version of kwargs. I haven't really dived into the problem yet, but could this be done with a metaclass or is kwargs rooted deeper in the stack?

   At Hackday Paris in 2011 (48h hackathon), the winners among 49 teams were a group of three, who made listening to music a more haptic experience again. They called it NoiseBox, but they seem to have abandoned it: http://noisebox.herokuapp.

   I once saw a research group leader talk his head off, why what his group was doing was innovative, even though the committee thought otherwise - even though most of the people in the room knew he was just trying to secure funds and the work

   Dropwizard in the back, Knockoutjs on the front, looking at angularjs as an alternative to KO. I think there is much value in a hard separation of backend and frontend. Basically you get an API for free and I believe that most applications

    I don't play a lot of games, but this is really cute. It reminds me of Freefall by Denis Auroux ( http://math.berkeley.edu/~auroux/software/freefall/index.htm... : a Java Applet (1996)).

    This is great and I would use this. I even think about porting/forking/stealing this for a German audience. The only thing that would keep such a site from growing is the relative reservation of less technical crowds (at least that has been

    If I understand it correctly, Gibson describes his writing even net-driven in this interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVnt_Rr-TB4#t=49m12s (49m12s). At least partially.

    I'm ten percent into an implementation of a 'personal web archive', mostly as a fun side-project. I just wonder, if historical data gets more interesting as the web ages?

    Interestingly, Rob Pike mentioned in a recent talk, that most people come to Go from Ruby and Python ( http://commandcenter.blogspot.de/2012/06/less-is-exponential... ) and it seems to be a similar case with Clojure. And Python and Ruby are

    I too think it will happen. This post illustrates that a) the web is not really a welcoming place for large walled gardens, b) if you want to build on someone else's infrastructure, pay them, so you become their customer , so their goal
