To answer your question, while it's not an offer I'd likely take up, I don't think it's slave-labor lame or offensive, so long as you make things clear as to the exact terms of the arrangement. Nobody is forcing anything to do anything, so

Post also shows a blatant lack of knowledge about what an event loop is. Node and Tornado (two event-loop based servers) are by design single-threaded. This is because for certain setups, having a separate thread for each connected client

This article is flawed in so many ways. First of all, the author has an incorrect interpretation of the guidelines. It's not 'Never, ever, ever use tables', it's 'Never use tables for layout'. And it's not stick ZOMG-EVERYTHING above the

Why not read about the algorithm in a write-up by the author himself: http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/tip/Objects/listsort.txt Sits in the actual source code to cpython. One of the many reasons I love python. (check out the notes on ho

Most of the best practices/gotchas can be found by reading the online documentation. Of all the replies Eliot gives they were either plainly obvious (oh, you have a system under heavy load and you're surprised that it gets worse when you g

This looks pretty great. Signed up and taking a tour of the internals. However, I don't think I'll be using this unless the following are addressed: 1) doesn't appear to support external users. I can't seem to give a client access so they c

Looks cool. But if you want this to be anything more than just a toy, you really need to focus on the extensibility factor. It'd be great if you could inherit from some core load balancer object and add in your custom behavior with just a

Same way that you do it now - copy the relevant files out of ~/Steam/steamapps/ to wherever you need. I've gotten around re-downloading huge games because everything you need is in there (when I've already done it once before on a different

I can see where you're coming from, but in my view the general consumer won't put in the effort to exploit your model if you make it appealing enough. I've known people that rented from blockbuster|netflix and just made rips of the VHS|DVD

I've encountered different stories about the availability of content, but I think it really boils down to what sort of music you listen to. Personally, I find Spotify has more of the things that I listen to - but like I said I've talked wi

I think you don't understand what Google intends when they release a new product. Do you want a company to 1) only brew products (with a business model) internally until it is ready to ship, or 2) develop and release lots of things and see

I have a hard time attributing a new language coming out of Google as NIH syndrome. If you take a look at some of the people employed at the big G (Gosling, Kernighan, Pike, Guido, Thompson, etc.) who were responsible for creating and nurtu

That's called array dereferencing. It doesn't work in php either, you need to assign to a temporary variable. I've been following a patch in the works (at https://wiki.php.net/rfc/functionarraydereferencing ) but there doesn't seem to b
