But we expect this don't we from YouTube? Just as an example of how broken it is I have been live streaming at our local church, our parish priest decided to sing "Tantum ergo" which was written and set to music at best gues

I will also have to write normal views for it. I just would like some easy system for pluging those views all together nicely for, without having to do it myself. Also some extra stuff to take care of permissions when doing that. I eventu

I mentioned the admin interface as well. I wish it was easier to customise when you need something more user friendly, and not something that is just a GUI for accessing the database. But it is hard to get away from, since everything else

I would like more accountability from professors somehow. Maybe not from student reviews, but at least someone unknown to the professor randomly attend a few classes to check the quality of them. Right now I have a professor that says thin

This was what we taught to say when I was a tutor for a university. The point was the student could not come and just point out that something was wrong with the marking and they deserve more points. If they thought the grade was not fair

This looks like it could help make it much easier to profile my django web apps during development.

The equivalent code with out the context manager is actually this: f = open('foo.txt') try: contents = f.read() finally: f.close() So yes, extra reason to prefer the context manager.

I am in Europe (Italy) right now and before it was taken down thepiratebay.se was blocked. But now I can access it directly. Interesting.

Users should be able to access all your content without JavaScript. I think the old rule of progressive enhancement still applies, JavaScirpt can add extra things, but everything should remain functional without it. If it does not work wit

I saw most of this coming. I have studied a little Ancient Greek which has the same problem of the Arabic, and Polish which is similar to the Russian, and now I am living in Italy. I guess it is one of those things though as programmers

Besides all the jokes - which are funny - this is something I posted a bug about before, when working on slow unreliable networks this can happen. You end up reading half the page, and then it tells you it can be displayed.

What I came here to say. If the screen is wider, it just means I can position two things side by side, what ever that be: email + webpage, word document + webpage, code + webpage, code + command line

I pirate tv and movies because for me that is the only reliable way. If I got to Amazon/iTunes and try and buy a download it rejects my visa card for not being from the country in which I live (studying overseas). The torrets are pro

That is not really very relevant when building a Firefox add-on. Firefox add-ons get incredible access privileges to the browser internals. That is part of what makes it hard, but also powerful. An example of what I mean, it was not overl

I would guess it is in part because a lot of them carry around far too much baggage that adding this in afterwards is too much work. I am having a shot at it with django. Rather early yet, but doing something like this is the goal. It only

It looks like I have got higher up the ranks for some of my keywords, so the change must be good ;)

I guess they mean they made everything that the user is aware of. Uses don't see, or even need to know about WebKit or SQLite. But since when was advertising honest?

It would be nice if they made it easier to disable all alerts (it is possible, but takes a bit of reading to work out). In general I hate their use. 10 years is too long though for a simple thing like this.

It would just turn into a place where nobs ask questions, and you really want that done in the proper place. And you also have the moderator overhead.

Haskell was my answer too, mainly because it is rather different from other languages I know, so it forces you to think out side the box, and try new things. Which you then bring back to other languages.

Do similar things only when there is nothing else really interesting ready to hand. So if I have an assignment due and have a total dislike for it, yes I will waste a lot of time reading various site like HN. But if I have something fun a

The book I have is "C A reference Manual" by Harbison and Steele. The advice I got when I had to buy one or other for a course I was doing that it covered much the same stuff, just assumed you had some background in programming.

I don't know, the contract between the background and the text is low already, so making it worse would be kind of hard. I like using a drop shadow on headings or other important bits of text that have been placed on something that causes t
