The fact that it's called the "talk back bot" automatically puts the author in the victim's chair. To think that a TWSS joke in a chat room not directed at you personally is offens…

What makes it beneficial for ripping/distribution groups to coordinate like this? I've previously seen them agree on a common standard for the number and size of rar files a releas…

I don't give a shit.

"You're" instead of "your"? Really?

fn-arrow left/fn-arrow right is a pretty pathetic substitute for actual home and end keys. I've never used a Mac for a prolonged period of time so can't speak to other points, but …

What are the options for using pypy with wsgi?

Meh, who cares, TC was always yellow press to begin with. An added perceived conflict of interest doesn't change anything in my eyes, just adds to the drama of it all which is what…

Everyone keeps framing this as a competitor to the iPad, but it's going after a market that is not currently buying tablets at all. People who can't afford an iPad or don't want on…

That is definitely plausible, but I'm more referring to the feature set, i guess i would clarify as the contract between them and the developer. That is basically memcached, from w…

So this is just a simple way to get some memcached instances running. I guess it makes sense for amazon to target memcached since it's still the most popular caching system in use,…

I think one point has been ignored so far - this will be a really boring place to live compared to an average city. Can you imagine being stuck on a boat or a tiny island for years…

Am I the only person who thinks this is a stupid question to ask? Either you are talking about a huge corp where you have employees that you can't trust to be honest about the amou…

Have you ever heard Guido speak about the issue? He and a number of others don't think it's one worth solving. Really. Yea it may be a lot of work to create a new GC implementation…

The most frustrating thing about Python is its community's complete denial about what a joke their concurrency situation is. Truth is python is not truly multi-threaded, and no, cl…

Agreed with previous posters that there won't be one system to rule them all as there are a ton of use cases. Having said that every single system out right now sucks badly. Every …

Does anyone by any chance know if there is a version of the riak python driver that does not use google's protobuf implementation? I'm looking into using riak and hearing this does…

Frankly, even a developer relations position can be a technical position. I personally think a developer relations person who does understand the inner workings of the code base he…

From the article: "However, no attempts have been made to optimize the Java VM, the SQL queries, etc" Emphasis being on optimizing the sql. We have run tests comparing neo4j and po…

Funny thing though, a well designed relational database will execute your graph queries faster. It won't do generic graph queries faster, but if your sql data model and code are op…

This article is so full of such silly generalizations I'm not even sure where to begin, or whether i should. "I did an informal survey of different Los Angeles based Information te…

I don't always invest, but when I do, it's in gold and Swiss francs.

It's tiring because it's unjustified. There is a spectrum of users, not two separate sets. Scoble is saying what he is saying because it's emotionally satisfying for him to feel li…
