you'll need a Twitter account to login Whelp. Too bad, since it looked like a pretty cool service.

I'm a year and a half away from a Software Engineering Bachelor's, which at my school is essentially a concentration of Computer Science. We do a bit less bit-twiddling (no hardware courses) and only take the first of two Programming Langu

While I liked both Inception and Primer, I didn't feel that either was particularly confusing. I don't feel that Inception was designed to be a mindfuck; Primer was, but it fits nicely in the middle somewhere of that genre. My view is prob

This is similar to how many private BitTorrent trackers work. If someone you invited gets banned, so do you.

The main issue with reading manga on an ereader is dealing with zooming and panning; unless you have it split by panes, rather than pages, that will be an issue no matter the format.

The only issue is that at least 80% of PHP code you'll find on the net is utter crap.

When have you needed to use PyGame in a web application? Different tools for different things. Use 'em when appropriate. As a sidenote: from my extremely limited experience with PyGame and (Lua) Love, Love kicks PyGame's ass all over the m

While I favor Redmine at the moment, I used Roundup in a previous job and didn't hate it. It does a pretty good job of balancing simplicity and features. The only other place I've noticed Roundup being used is for Python.

I have read it, but evidently I'm misunderstanding something, either in the parent post or the PEP. Would you care to be a bit more explicit in pointing it out?

Have you read PEP 3003? Python 3 is hardly moving forward. http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3003/

It's worth noting that Python has just one linear structure - lists* (Ruby avoids lists and just has arrays). Now, they're actually much fancier under the hood, which is why you can get away with not having a bunch of choices, but it's the

Simply because it does not fit your expectations does not mean that it makes "no logical sense at all". As faulty beings, we often have expectations that really are quite far from logical.

Right, but his point was that the self variable is declared in front of the method name, similarly to how it looks when you call said method.

The concurrent.futures module looks interesting: http://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.2.html#pep-3148-the-co... I don't have much experience in that area, so I can't judge if it's as cool as I think it is. Will anyone help me out? The a

Use 3.x if you can. Use 2.x if a library you require hasn't been ported (or better, help them with it, although that's probably not a job for a self-described amateur).

Damn, I've got a long time 'til I see it, then, since I've only reached 136 karma in 192 days. I suppose that means I shouldn't be able to downvote, then. :)

Ah, but you are calling it with 3 parameters: foo.bar(baz, sputz) ^1 ^2 ^3 When you write a class method, it has more information available to it than a similar subroutine; thus, another parameter. GvR brings up the deeper r

And as usual, being clever in Python equates to getting yourself in trouble. Dammit, people - in Python, "That's clever" is an insult. Learn the philosophy of a language and you'll be much happier using it.

Reputation is, by and large, a measure of how time you spend on the site, much like an MMO. If you're interested in more popular technologies, you tend to have more questions to answer (and yes, more people read and upvote your answers).

I try and do my part by voting up the answers that are truly useful when I come across a question by searching, but I agree that it does tend to be a first-come first-serve type of system for the most part. They've taken some steps to allev

Sure, but who writes in scripting languages in this day and age? I'm pretty sure they haven't produced anything of enough value that someone else would want to use their code.

There is one definite book for Django, and it is very, very good. Why should be there any more?

Borders dying makes me a bit sad. These four years I've been in university, I've watched our B&N's tech book section shrink and convert to "iPads for Dummies" books, and the manga section go down to a quarter of the previous size. Our
