   In general the plan is for whichever phone answers first to win. How to handle voicemail is a great question! We'll have to look at what is possible for us to implement. How would you like to see it work?

    I've had some great experiences, e.g. Gregory Smith's PostgreSQL 9.0 High Performance. When considering purchasing a book on a niche topic like Magneto or PostgreSQL, I think it's worth waiting for prominent community members to get review

    From the FAQ: How is mypy different from Cython? Cython is a variant of Python that supports compilation to efficient C modules. Mypy differs in the following aspects, among others: Mypy will have a powerful type system that can detect many

    I'm curious how the author managed to learn the pygments library without learning it already provided a command. This script can be replaced by alias pjson='pygmentize -l json' If you're passing it the file name, pygmentize will figure out
