weak investigation. Using __slots__ would probably improve the situation too. It's not the classes that's the problem, it's the crappy implementation.

I agree. However, many regular expression implementations are not regular and have enough power to parse nested structures.

"up to you to generate the quality content that only you can generate" Surely there's a more elegant way to state that. One that doesn't use the words "generate" and "content".

I don't understand the downmod I've received. A little white box hanging off the side of a Sony/Samsung/LG tv is not the user experience or brand experience that Apple want to give you. They want their white shiny logo, in the goddamn middl

because they have an agenda to own the entire home entertainment stack. Letting you keep your existing tv is not compatible with this. They don't want customers who are picky about integrating with their existing devices. They want customer

well yeah, decoders exist. Rockbox doesn't qualify as a "consumer product" in the sense I was using the term. IE, walk into my local electronics store and pick up a device and take it to the till. Good point (to the other poster) about the

don't have an ipad but I found it pretty trivial to write a script to suck down all the epub files (for all issues) since they have a pretty simple naming scheme. Then cp *.epub to the plugged in storage device (kobo ebook reader)

I almost hate to recommend the book, but our standard text was "Pressman's 5th" and that does have a reasonably comprehensive survey of methodologies. You'd be better off borrowing it than buying it. It's not hard to see that agile models a

I've come to the conclusion that the only things that matter, in the end, are the SQL going across the wire in one direction, and the HTML going across the wire in the other. The code in between those should be as small as possible and as s

it's the typical developer response, that all concepts, no matter how abstract, should be captured in Code. In saying that, it's easier to shove a bunch of classes into your html, and that's kind of what the multipurpose class tag is for. A

side effect is a kind way to put it. Serving links that break in such a short time is a bug. I'm sure there's plenty of simple ways to make that link work as expected. I haven't looked at the Arc code, but I have implemented pagination doze

"Unknown or expired link": I frequently get "unknown or expired link" when clicking the "more" link after browsing to the bottom of the page. It's constantly frustrating. If another page of links was shown to me, I'd be much happier. Just s

Many software projects /are/ big. Many of them are complicated and monolithic, written by "someone else", unrefined, and quite possibly the first thing that they managed to get working. I find UML diagrams (sequence, class etc) invaluable f

there are plenty of metrics for complexity, efficiency etc, and you'd hope it's idiomatic to the language used. Your associative array example may not be the best. It just shows your own bias. Depends on how it's implemented, someone could
