I don't understand. You use all popular Chrome extension? My intention is to find out the extensions that hackernewsers use, not the popular extensions. Of course there will always be some intersections, but I doubt everyone here uses all p

You can't really compare them. Eclipse is a full-featured, lots-of-megabytes IDE. BPython is just steroids for the Python interpreter.

Rarely, yes. Mostly, no. I am willing to pay for every proprietary software that: - Has no good free alternative - Pricing is not abusive If there's no good free or even paid alternative and pricing is abusive, I don't hesitate to pirate it

And this is the reason the abolishment of Intellectual Property won't make the world any more chaotic or unfair. Ideas are meant to be shared, and the market competitiveness will reward the ones that best execute them.

I agree completely. Taping and photographing policemen actions during service is a GOOD thing. Helps to control police abuse.

I guess i read it in Code Complete. Yes, it looks ugly; yes, it avoids many bugs.

That depends on the location. I think that in the USA people are still being locked up for marijuana use, although I guess that trend is thankfully going down. Can anyone confirm that? Here where I live, in Brazil, you will get a lot of h

No, I have never been to Amsterdam. I am aware of the shrinking in the number of coffee shops. This is mainly because of international pressure: they are hardening the rules for the coffee shops, trying to limit tourist's access to them. I

About Dutch and American drug policy: Yes, of course there are countries with a lot lower drug use rate. But I bet this is a cultural thing. It is a fact that the drug war has negligible effects on controlling drug use. It failed completely

How did it fail, exactly? According to Wikipedia, drug use in the Netherlands is lower than America's in every possible category. The number of drug-related deaths in the Netherlands is lower than the EU average. The Dutch Government is abl

Add another drug? Millions of people already smoke pot in America today, and legalising it will only make it safer . EDIT: Also, I feel sorry about your friends, but it is my view that this is not what happens with the majority of the us

I did append the (2006) in the link, but not because i think it is obsolete at all. The ideas discussed in the text are still valid. As other mentioned, maybe Clojure was a big thing that happened to the Lisp world, but still, Clojure is a

It's of course a trade-off. I think the changes that made into Python 3.0 were welcome, and breaking downward compatibility was a hard but acceptable consequence. It's a difficult matter: Let the language evolve and break things, or make it

I agree. It was only written 3 years ago. Almost nothing changed in the last 3 years in the Lisp world. Maybe Clojure -- but there is some controversy.
