Why on Amazon? O'Reilly sells it drm-free. I bought it yesterday using a coupon(which are pretty easy to find).

So the roots of the current real state bust may be found in the invincible Armada in the 1600s(BTW nobody in Spain put it that name, and that episode wasn't the end of the war, which didn't end so badly to Spain). Yeah, great anal

Men with higher testosterone levels are more likely to produce male offspring. So I agree with you. It seems easier to put the gender bias mechanism in the males.

The potential bad press that Google would get if Khan Academy had daily issues due bad GAE performance I'm sure that would cost them much more than the 500$/month that you're paying. Being big and nice(or cool) I think it gives and edge her

I really wasn't clear about what I wanted to say, sorry. birthtime is different from ctime on those systems. Ctime is last change on the inode as parent said. I just wanted to note that some Unix systems really store the creation time. See

Regarding ctime, some Unix versions(or I should say filesystems) really store the creation time(birthtime) of the inode. FreeBSD's find has the -Bmin switch for searching for true creation time.

I may be dumb, but why not try to charge for the courses upfront? You offer a preview for free and charge a small fee for the full course(15$ for example). Once the videos are recorded, the costs for coursera and the professor should be ver

I couldn't agree more. If you're going to break compatibility, do it for a good reason. Type annotations, that would appeal to scientists(BTW, a lot of them are using Cython)...

This ignores the fact that most web applications are developer-bound well before they became IO bound, and much much before they became CPU bound. Anyway, Java EE is alive and strong in the enterprise isn't it?

Yes, it does. Read this: http://mailinator.blogspot.com.es/2010/02/how-i-sped-up-my-s... which it's a deeper take on the subject.

Which it's far more interesting, though.

I have read a bit about this Python on Android, and it seems that uses Android's NDK, which allows to port C/C++ programs to Android. I wasn't aware that this was possible. I thought that only bytecode was allowed for security reasons.

I don't understand exactly how this works. You have an Python API for controlling the UI, great, but... can you use the full Python capabilities and expect your app to be portable? If yes, How it works? Is the app compiled to Dalvik bytecod

I'm very surprised about your experience. Unemployment hasn't hit that hard the IT sector,and finding good people ain't easy, but people willing to work on IT? There are plenty and doing very long hours...

You can't hire doctors for 1000€(18-20keur/year gross). The lowest paid doctor working for the public health system gets 42keur/year. That's very low, even portuguese doctors are better paid, but that's nowhere near 1000eur/month. You can h

I have known people who started as programmers and became highly valued domain experts, so it works in the other way, too.

That's no the same at all!! 'synchronize' and 'synchronized' is part of Java's concurrency model. Every midlevel Java programmer should know that every Object has and intrinsic lock, that you can achieve mutual exclusion among threads using
