"Accelerated C++" by Andrew Koenig and Barbara Moo is pretty good and somewhat along the lines of K&R.

FTA: "If you really are a law-abiding citizen with nothing to hide, then why don't you always send your paper mail on postcards? [...] If you hide your mail inside envelopes, does that mean you must be a subversive or a drug dealer, or mayb

The last paragraph mentions this: "We’ve reached out to Apple to see whether a licensing arrangement has been reached for this graphic…but we doubt it.".

To add to this, Kumar McMillan's talk, "Unicode In Python, Completely Demystified" ( http://farmdev.com/talks/unicode/ ) is really good.

Any particular reason that you believe the alleged rape allegations more than the fact that they may _actually_ have been politically motivated? I mean, it's difficult to take sides without knowing what did transpire.

> I can use this for free for my own projects (private) and the UI is awesome This was the first thought that came to my mind! A really awesome project, was much needed.

With the tutorial, you just need to read till Chapter 9 as the continuing chapters handle the stdlib which serves more of a reference once you know the language. Point being, you start writing Python with the official tutorial much earlier

I really wonder why no one mentions the official Python tutorial ( http://docs.python.org/tutorial/ ). That is by far, the most concise and easiest to understand Python tutorial I have ever come across. For those who run after multiple sour

If you have never met before but can exchange data physically -- why not! The requirements of this (summarized) are: 1. Common content, 2. Ability to exchange data physically. And if you are in a LAN, not even that.

By the word social (and now I think it can mean different things in different context), I meant that it is based on the concept that there is content which is common to a given 'social' group -- let's say with your friends who use Linux, yo

That is correct. But to keep things simple, I didn't go into that. My main intention was to see whether people actually feel the need for this and how it would scale.

Hi. Given the feedback on the UI, I think my designer skills leave a lot to be desired! Thanks for the suggestion, I will work on improving this.

Hi. I did that so that people could go through the link they wanted, rather than going through a single long page. I will find a way to fix that.

by sukhbir 15y ago
Right, thanks for the feedback. I have updated it to better reflect the idea.

The 'Idea' page mentions this clearly. The third line in fact.

Hi. This only works for peers within close geographical proximity and I used the word social because there are many times when you want to download something that some of your friends also want. Note that the intention is not to download sm
