    Then I would humbly and politely suggest that the website use a header like `Vary: User-Agent` in its response to indicate that different user agents are given different responses.…

    You sound like you are a paid shill. I know that you aren't, which disappoints me further, because I'd like to think that people are capable of educating themselves instead of spre…

    I'm confused. What part of this causes an eyeroll for you? Did you attempt to read the words in a spiral instead of the standard left-to-right, top-to-bottom style most English rea…

    As we say so often in the Python commmunity, "Try It And See." Do you use cffi and/or ctypes in your code? Have you run your tests against this newer PyPy?

    You don't sound like a hacker. You sound like somebody who types a lot in order to change the patterns of lights on their monitor.

    I agree with the author entirely.

    It is not up to PyPy to support non-pure-Python libraries; it is up to those libraries to fix themselves by evicting their C and FORTRAN balls and chains.

    Let's define "virtually." There are plenty of websites that don't use JS.

    I hope that you did not flip this around and force yourself to learn PHP and JS based on this philosophy.

    The author appears to not be aware of where the big leagues are. Additionally, as is becoming a recurring theme here, he doesn't know about PyPy nor Twisted. This is continually di…

    Image macros come from Japanese message boards; they are not really related to the faux motivational posters that are commonly known as "demotivationals".

    "I believe there are two reasons why some people want to disable JavaScript: the feeling of extra privacy and improving page speeds." I normally get along with Armin, but I feel th…

    So, as far as I can tell, you have failed to demonstrate that Twisted Web with PyPy is not a viable alternative, which is disappointing. Also, uWSGI's core team doesn't have any fa…

    Stop writing Java code in Python. No. Bad. Stop it.

    You are wrong. Python's object model is incredibly rich in ways that JavaScript and Lua don't even come close to touching. Let me list some things that you'll see in Python code th…

    Python as a language requires the float type to have at least double precision. This is sadly not documented explicitly, but the big four Python implementations all respect this.

    I'm sorry, but it's not appropriate for a project manager to promote his paid project on HN without some sort of disclosure, especially when using a custom title for submission.

    I would never participate in automatic torrenting; I am pretty discerning about what I watch. Additionally, RSS feeds just seem pointless to me; I visit web sites when I want to co…

    Why is the project name misspelled several different ways? This doesn't fill me with a lot of confidence. I'm also not sure what niche this project is trying to fill.

    You can't. No, seriously, you won't find a video card (especially an nVidia) that doesn't have a cross-licensing agreement with Microsoft for the use of certain patented codecs. Wh…
