It seems the RIAA doesn't need help destroying any reputation they might still have; they're doing a great job by themselves. Suing for $8,000 over 10 shared songs is pretty awesome, too.

Any of the puzzle pieces individually aren't bad, it's putting them all together then adding additional pipes to stuff like (as you mention) SPAM filtering, etc. that make it such a huge pain in the ass. In an ideal world, there would be s

Strangely, her confession did not have the impact one would expect; I did not recoil in horror... My initial reaction would have been, "Will you marry me?!" I could probably even get by the whole daughter thing. Then again, I suppose I'm

What do laws have to do with this? Almost none of the examples have anything to do with laws (cell phones in restaurants, please) and the ones that do are irrelevant because this is being partially described as a tool for enforcing the la

I wasn't implying he was being dishonest. There have been approximately 1 million cases of me saying and believing that feature X or project Y would be done "this week" when it turned out to be more like "this month" or "next month". When

You wouldn't be saying that if you did a lot of editing via network shares... TM is awesome; I used it for years. However, it's quite ridiculous that at least as far back as 2006 folks were being led to believe TM 2 was "coming soon." At le

I honestly started feeling anxious just looking at all that clutter. I couldn't work there a week without a complete mental breakdown. At least the website reflects the office space.

the real world is like high school I'm interested to hear your argument on this, mostly because I've found the real world to be nothing like high school. When it comes to "Web 2.0" startups right now, sure, today's "hotness" might be noth

Now all he needs are IMAP and POP3 implementations and we might finally have a mail stack that mere mortals are capable of setting up without screaming profanities.

For parsing XML responses? lxml is better than BeautifulSoup in terms of performance and memory usage.

Amen. It's going to be a huge pain the ass to convert stuff, but worth it for a much needed language "cleansing."

I don't know about most effective, but as for more effective recently, it was the code-base of Twisted. Not only did it have a lot of advanced libraries and what-not I had never encountered, but because it's been around forever I saw a sort

Perhaps I've interpreted your comment incorrectly, but I would hardly consider the fact that a preponderance of social networks eventually devolve into "hook-up sites" to be "encouraging". It may be a reflection of society, but I imagine s

Funny, because I pay for every possible purchase with a CC and have no debt. And the one time I paid for something with my Debit card, I was overcharged and essentially had no recourse. When someone got a hold of my CC number somehow an

This is a great first step. The real chore is migrating everything to py3k.

And it's quite helpful to know about those in advance. Thanks, unalone.

I never said you made it at random, just that even if it were the best option it was still a poor one. From the options you laid out, it appears none of them were particularly suited to your situation. If it were me, upon realizing that, I

Lesson N: Use a system that doesn't require you to manually remove cache files. Seriously.

This book will fail because Godin already has the market on made up words cornered.

Basically, a lot of what Git enables me to do is switch between tasks easily. As a single developer, I love this about git. Being able to instantly create a new local branch to work on something, even if I only have an hour or two to devo

I have never felt a need to mask my identity while online, even when I was younger and stupider than I am now. Hell, up until this year I didn't even bother to censor anything I said online. Unfortunately, now that I have the reputation of

I've been in this game nearly a decade and I have yet to see a decline in the amount of knowledge still available to gain. Learning one thing seems to have the tendency to present 10 more learning opportunities for my troubles. My philosoph

I would like to review the rules on here that are just plain irrational: Rule #3: No. If their belief systems were more valid, I would adopt them. Rule #4: This gets into the realm of rainbows and unicorns. Rule #5: And a legacy matters to

I use Debian for most of my servers and the only complaint I really have is that the repos are extremely outdated when compared to Ubuntu. Ubuntu's main strength, at least as I see it, is the fact that the packages are updated more frequent

I am a lifetime MailMan advocate. But you mention tasks that are mostly handled by an MTA (confirmation e-mails, alerts, special offers). Mailing lists are just that -- mailing lists. It's not a simple one-to-many delivery service like,

I wasn't referring to task difficulty, just the extreme time delay between when something is ready and when it is put into production.

I spent 3 months at the end of recent deployment furiously developing an (arguably) game-changing app for the Army's secret intranet. I knew in advance it wouldn't actually get deployed, despite everyone up to the Task Force Commander lovin
