What Hacker News says?
Dan, even using english as a first language - I have a difficult time articulating this subject. 1. English English is the more topic subject dividing engineers and programmer's from reaching their potential. These are people who are already on their path and passionate about growing themselves into programmers. Can you imagine how we can help them? Their potential if they have localized documentation? A story of di…

HN discussionWhat creates a hostile environment for woman is where a sector, made of predominately men is scrutinized with a hysterical "boy who cried wolf" mentality. It's a vicious cycle. 1. First there is a tiny group of feminists, mostly consisting of marketers, call themselves coders, but if you were look them up, they're twittering and having fun more than building. They seem very happy to stir indignation. 2. Then, people…

HN discussionEverybody who has ever spoken at PyCon for one (and volunteers as well): http://jessenoller.com/blog/2011/05/25/pycon-everybody-pays It looks like the OP is an established consultant/teacher, so he probably only goes to conferences that invite him to speak (and my guess is, from what I have heard about you tptacek, that you are in the same boat), so he may be unfamiliar with the practice. But for us peons, with litt…

HN discussion> At PyCon US/EuroPython everybody pays by default and the money goes towards financial aid so as many people as possible can attend. As a speaker, you can also apply for finaid of course. Just to add on — here's the rationale behind it: http://jessenoller.com/blog/2011/05/25/pycon-everybody-pays

HN discussionI haven't studied it deeply, but a breadcrumb would be that cooperative threads (green threads) are equivalent to coroutines. Ok it looks like current techniques are stackless runtimes and compiling coroutines to stackless continuations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stackless_Python https://stackless.readthedocs.io/en/v3.6.4-slp/library/stack... http://jessenoller.com/blog/2009/02/23/stackless-you-got-you... https:…

HN discussionDrat. I do agree with the analysis you posted on your site [1] that it only will affect early-adopters/language geeks and is probably for the best for the python community at large. But two years is a darn long time in the technology world. It looks like it will be up to the library/framework builders to keep the python hype/momentum going while the language maintainers are playing grown-up and being responsible. [1…

HN discussionYou are welcome. Actually, the inclusion of your processing module in 2.6/3.0 is an excellent example of a non-core developer getting code into the Python distribution. Your blog postings on the process (especially http://jessenoller.com/2009/01/28/multiprocessing-in-hindsig... ) really show how challenging it is to add something to a system that big (and ported to so many platforms). I appreciate the work you've pu…

HN discussionI don't know about Ruby, but in Python, the GIL is there to protect the interpreter from complicated locking and memory management overhead that thread-safety would require of it: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-3000/2007-May/007414... @jessenoller has a great summary of concurrency in Python: http://jessenoller.com/2009/02/01/python-threads-and-the-glo... The two worlds seem very similar.

HN discussionIn Python 2.x there was a module for Berkley DB which is removed in Python 3 (bsddb module). I'm curious that since Berkley DB has always had a strong copyright license and it was not PSFL, how things worked legally. There is no mention in the docs[1] that if you use an import bsddb in your code you have to make it open-source. When they decided to remove it there was no mention of the license, just difficulty of ma…

HN discussionSpeaking for direct personal experience: the Python community is amazingly generous. In some ways, more generous and giving and understandable than any other community I've been part of.
