Why is it necessary to replace Python for this project? And what are the objectives for the replacement? It's not clear what the author's problems and objectives are.

I would just name it Java.update() and leave it there. These people are trying too hard. They probably turn off the average geeks (who find it too geeky); and the hard-core geeks just tear them apart with all of the semantic and syntactic

It's a bit naive to think Facebook doesn't care about people. Broadly speaking, there are introverts and there are extroverts. Introverts love Reddit, 4Chan, etc. for their anonymity. Extroverts love Facebook, Twitter, etc. An

I think the comparison is a little misleading as the author admitted that the newer version is slimmer and tighter. Django is heavy. It'd be interesting if somehow the author could have used Bottle (Python) and compare it to Revel (

Why? At this day and age, it's hard enough to watch one movie , with a cell phone in hand. Why would you want to watch two movies at the same time? This makes no sense.

With all due respect to Jimmy Carter, and he is a good man at heart, but he appears naive as to what is the true core of the USA. The USA has always been a country of military power. Without military power, the USA would not be what it is

You don't have to be in direct contact with the Chinese government to provide them information. It is probably the case that spies do not have direct contact with the government they are spying for. He namedropped the Guardian/

That is an evasive answer to the question: "The US Government alleged that you gave sensitive information to the Chinese." Based on his answer, he probably did give sensitive information to the Chinese.

If he is afraid of being charged in the US, I would think he wouldn't have done this in the first place. Initially, it is said he did this because he cared about Americans. But by working with the Chinese, he is no longer a patriot

Brilliant move, maybe, unless he was manipulated by the Chinese. It is very interesting that the allegation that the NSA has been hacking into Chinese systems came out at the time when the US and China are meeting and Obama is trying to ad

be careful when you elevate "development" to "engineering". Any self-respecting man can put together a study desk for his son. That's development. But now if you want to build and sell desks to the public in such a way that we have to fo

The problem with 80 chars/line and Python, in particular, is list/dict comprehension. Naturally, as they replace a whole loop, comprehensions pack much information into one line. Consequently, there are many times when a list/dict-compreh
