Is there someone I can email to do this? I'd like it gone and all data associated with it. Thanks.

For some reason, I really like this simple idea of "persistent, durable data structures".

I was at that talk. Having not done much C since college 6 or 7 years ago and only really starting Python about 3 months ago, it was very approachable and I got a lot out of it. I …

The tounge-in-cheek response might be the engineers that build those robots and drones.

Now, do you think that is the driver personally using square to accept card payments as it's more economical for him to manage that stuff himself rather than relying on the cab com…

If you're not too short, they usually take the cash over the card. You get a cheap ride and they don't get all pissy. I do it all the time.

I've been writing Python for maybe 3 months now and as I started digging into the OO stuff, I commented to a few developers about how it 'felt' a lot like javascript and they nearl…

Seeing how everything is opensourced, how easy is this to get up and running on an intranet? Is that at all a goal of the project?

That IS my setup at work. I've recently discovered mutt and irssi which I use for email and chat, respectively. All development happens in tmux sessions with vim. My dock contains …

My biggest desire to learn a language like Haskell or Scala would be the total shift in thinking required to grasp the language (the author mentions this). I've started playing wit…

This was a really bad comparison/argument for git. Anyone actually trying to decide between the two should just forget everything you've read and start with a different source. Tha…

I immediately thought of Python's context managers when I read this. What the article appeared to describe, which shouldn't be lost on any programmer, is "do stuff then clean up af…

It's like everyone figured out how hashes work just a couple of days ago. What happened to spark all of this conversation? I also keep hearing that this problem is solved with rand…

It's interesting that you bring up Javascript. I've just started working in Python full-time recently and have noticed the OOP stuff "feels" a little like working with objects in J…

So, there's definitely been a few discussion recently about the quality of Hacker News articles and their relevancy to the community. Is this post an indication that LOLCats are of…

This has come up A LOT more than it should. There's a line immediately before the first example explaining exactly what you're looking at. It's slightly absurd to assume that's how…

The 'occupywallst' project's description reads: 'Stomping out capitalism, one line of code at a time'. Is that truly the goal; to eradicate capitalism?

Such as?

We'd love some feedback and, who knows, maybe some pull requests! We do have this running in production with no major problems to report. It is, however, under pretty light load. T…

Sarcasm aside, the fact that this sort of thing is being developed at what, I'm pretty sure, most people would consider a newspaper company is pretty fascinating in and of itself.

I think you're slightly off here. As I understand it, what these states are trying to do is consider Amazon's independent affiliates a physical presence for Amazon in that state. W…

A couple of useful resources related to the Heroku Dyno: http://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/how-much-memory-does-a-... http://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/dyno-isolation

Good read and really love that assets are first-class citizens in Rails. A little off topic, but can anyone point me in the direction of some resources on the biggest changes from …
