   Finally, I might have to change my mind... There is a big difference with PyDev/Aptana that is not apparent in the screencast: its lightweightness! * it is a 1.3Mb download (vs 126Mb). * startup time is ~2s (vs 30+ seconds) * memory footpri

   PyDev user here too. Although I don't use it directly anymore but through Aptana. It works out of the box and also supports javascript/html/css/... so is ideal for developing webapps with a python backend. Ninja looks nice, but nothing I sa

   I guess it's ok to mention the spelling issue as the typo is located in the top bar of the blog, not in an obscure comment. Another glitch that could be corrected: the Me/Twitter link links to twitter.com, not to the author's profile.

   [Not sure whether the question is directed to the author or to my comment but I'll answer anyway :) ] Basically, there are 3 notions 1) the buffer (byte[] or whatever) containing the data, immutable at least while the data is being accessed

   Funny, I was actually manipulating C structures from Java, and after hitting a nasty issue, went procrastinating on twitter where I stumbled upon this blog post :) For those interested, there are less low-level ways to access fields in stru

    Another reason to use HJKL is that over a 1200bauds line, it is faster to send a single byte than the 3 bytes generated by the arrow keys (^[[D^[[A^[[B^[[C)

    Same here. Thanks LSE for providing us with one of the simplest protocols to code against! For those wondering what kind of protocol I'm talking about: http://goo.gl/ld9aj (MIT203 and MIT303).

    I should have precised that we only optimize modules where performance is critical. Otherwise, our #1 priority is that code should be beautiful (concise, readable). A nice side effect is that sometimes "nicer" also means more efficient (the

    Exactly. To me, clojure is anything but a language for n00bs. I consider it best suited for people with extensive knowledge of the Java platform and at least good notions of FP, needing a way to write more powerful and concise code without

    Does it mean we'll be able to run the Android SDK directly on the netbook and test apps natively instead of using a simulator that takes 10 minutes to boot and is slow like hell? As the SDK is based on eclipse, I'm not sure the performance
