   I don't understand. Why not just post the content in your blog instead of forcing you to subscribe to the newsletter. That's awful.

   Not very useful. If you have at least once played on an old computer that you don't use anymore but which had windows installed this would break. And before you say that steam could detect that i don't use that computer anymore, t

   It's more like after PHP 5 the community had learned that lesson, while python didn't have the chance yet. Given that, I think the PHP community handled the split much better, with the FIG pushing hard for PHP 5. I think the diffe

    In fact I agreed with the parent and just posted a tongue in cheek remark. One in a million literally means that at ~100k requests a second it will happen once every 10 seconds.

    Definitely when I get "in the groove" my typing, editing and code navigation are at least 3x faster. That's why I know it always pays off to learn all the hotkeys and optimize my workflow in the software I use. When at normal

    I think 40+ hours weeks happen only in the US. This is one of the reasons I'd be reluctant to ever work there. It's very hard to program effectively (effective being the keyword) more than 4-5 hours a day for most people. Sometime

    To be fair you can't just call it a "fruit logo". If you try to slightly modify it people will instantly recognize that it's not the Apple logo and it goes back to being a stupid fruit logo. So (of course) the point is n
