I imagine you could use python-spidermonkey to execute isolated bits of JS. But yes, getting the window object into context in python would be super useful

I had very similar symptoms to this guy (pain starting in the wrists and then forearms/elbows). I have adjusted my typing habits and daily routine as follows: * Exercise arms with light weights (~10lbs) * Adjusted chair height * Started usi

The ability to subscribe to notifications using SQS is a very cool feature. Adding the ability to listen for things is really the linchpin of asynchronous architecture (in my mind). This sure beats polling a queue.

I will always remember LiveJournal as the reason for Memcache being invented. It's funny how you can be nostalgic about a key-value system...

The conditional probability of A given B is my shepherd, I shall not want. It makes me multiply through marginal probabilities, it leadeth me beside flat priors... And the people sang "P of A given B is equal to the prior probability of A t

Even if this is true, I imagine the video quality will be less than spectacular. Back when I was trying to finagle the Wii into a media center, I could never get videos to playback above a certain bitrate/resolution. My guess would be 480p

For the longest time, after I read about MapReduce, I wondered what the big fuss was about. MPI has equivalent functionality (Broadcast/Scatter and Reduce) along with many other useful high-level communication functions. It does restrict yo
