I used to think so too.But learning touch typing has made me to better document my code. I no longer fret about writing API documentation, I almost add API documentation most of the methods I write. The blog post[1] Steve Yegge was the one

I didn't meant to say that India spends a lot on education, Infra etc. My point was compared to what is being spent on these initiatives the money being earmarked to Mars mission is not huge.

I don't think there is any confusion in point you are making. The fact is the money that has been earmarked for this venture (even you account for any cost overruns) is a meager amount to what India already earmarks to spend (spends) on inf

I don't understand why the author is using 'IronSpread' which is available on Windows only. For python there are modules like xlwt (www.python-excel.org) and openpyxl ( https://bitbucket.org/ericgazoni/openpyxl/ ) using which one can genera

Yes India's government is corrupt, but not all that much more corrupt than the US government. Not really. The Transperency International which ranks countries by corruption ranks India at 95, where as U.S.A is ranked at 24[1]. Lower the r

The problem he outlines about India are real and are serious ones. But the article is a shallow one and the author makes grand sweeps of imagination to make some crass generalizations. Consider a few of these: Indian culture itself is quit

If you are using QThread for console apps and are not using any other Qt libraries, isn't your console app has an unnecessary dependency on Qt ?

To me your version is less clearer than the explicit if calls: * Name 'map' for a variable is a poor choice (as it has same name as the python builtin function map) * Your version has off by one error, it doesn't give correct results whe

I don't think the try-except is 'more performant'. At least from the below benchmark test it doesn't seem to be so. >>> from timeit import timeit >>> timeit(setup='x=dict([(i,i*2) for i in range(10)])',stmt=

What you consider as verbosity in Python might the 'being explicit' philosophy of Python. For example though the succinctness of crafting a Perl regular expression is alluring , I have found writing regular expression the Python way and ref

Instead of 'git pull' I use a combination of 'git fetch' and 'git merge'. 'git fetch origin' followed by 'git merge origin/<branch_name>' (if there are any interesting changes) keeps my current branch up to date with the changes I

Thanks, I had never used the 'squash' option and was unaware of it. I think using 'squash' does helps to the history clean.

Assume that while working on your branch you made a few commits which were not perfect (say you wanted to take a day off and you want a commit point to work from when you are back). This all good and fine, you come back get the code working

One other beneficial side effects of having an automated test suite is that they come in handy during any profiling one need to do against the code base. Trigger the automated test suite from the profiler and analyze its output to any p

Also don't forget the tests you add help you with the regression tests. The large set of tests would assure you that the new fix you do will not lead to any other bugs that you had fixed earlier.

I like the Lutz's book. I think if there is a version of the book which covers only Python3, that would be a great start for a person who is absolutely newbie to Python. For a Python beginner I think the constant reference/comparison and g

One way would be to do some prototype and demo your idea. At the same time it is no guarantee that this would work all the time. It depends on factors like how cohesive the team is, whether there is openness to listen to conflicting though

But what is preventing you from reducing your information overload. Stop following some of the news,blogs etc. To me though passive information makes me feel aware , too much of it comes in the way of actively improving oneself.

Good Job. I noticed the book 'Learning Python' is listed there. But it is not available for free download. Should one flag such books (i.e. ones that are not available legally free) for abuse ?

Not sure why you are downvoted here. This is a valid point and it is true that much of the web content/computer generated content that is available in local language is obtained using transliteration. Also much worse is that many of the Eng

I doubt the "weirdness" of system is to bring "tech savvy" in par with "common man". If that were the intention why provide the feature of online booking at all ? It is not entirely true that online booking benefits the tech savvy/elite. Be
