Dean Goodmanson: Slices of PyBits from the world of the Python programming language.Zope Opera- October 31, 2003 The biggest thread I've seen at ZopeZen has been followed up by an open letter from Zope corporate. It's interesting in light of the fishbowl, and what happens when a walled garden grows in that fishbowl. Nice to see a (big) Zope name I didn't recognize follow-up to this related blog entry. Meanwhile, Zope credits remain to be updated...http://www.pycs.net/sqr/categories/slicesOfPy/2003/10/30.html#a184 Sightings:PSU to GvR- October 23, 2003 PSU (nearly) spotted at ZopeZen. Search the page for "innocent", or cheat. After reading the original posting of RMS' vision for GNU, I was flipping through the unix wizards archives and was did a double take: posts from Python's BDFL. Now following up to blog about it, I find that post not quite newsworthy, but did a search to find the "'Stamp Out BASIC' Committee" tagline link and note on C's introspection tool entries procured a...http://www.pycs.net/sqr/categories/slicesOfPy/2003/10/22.html#a179 Daily Journaling Notes- October 22, 2003 <p>Jeremy Hylton <a href="http:www.python.org%7Ejeremyweblog031009b.html">notes<a> the importance of keeping good notes, along with a good chunk of sound advice from the article <a href="http:www.acmqueue.orgmodules.phpname=Content&pa=showpage&pid=69">Coding Smart: People vs. Tools<a> by Donn M. Seeley, which I finally got around to reading. I'd love to hear his review of <a href="http:www.cvstrac.org">CVSTrac,<a> and whether...http://www.pycs.net/sqr/categories/slicesOfPy/2003/10/21.html#a177 Purple Browser Plugin wanted...pity the foo- October 15, 2003 I like Purple Numbers and the linkingreference power they bring. The current implementation may be sacrificing aestetics for precision. I find myself wanting a browser purple plugin to reference non-linkable sections of the web. I'll note thoughts on that after recent scenarios: Tim O'Reilly notes that the FOO shindig was a party and organized under those norms in a comment at this weblog post. Search for "Hey guys". After reading the Anders' Artima interview regarding virtual..http://www.pycs.net/sqr/categories/slicesOfPy/2003/10/14.html#a173 Fox TrotTechie ode to Bart Simpson- October 7, 2003 The Fox Trot cartoon last Friday hit home. This post includes a nice short example of the never ending polish that techies crave. I was tempted to comment, but will leave it to my own blog entry: for i in range(500): print "I will not throw paper airplanes in class."http://www.pycs.net/sqr/categories/slicesOfPy/2003/10/07.html#a170 Throwing a few questions over the wall..- October 2, 2003 I feel like I'm 2 keywords shy of a good google search on most of these issues. After spending the evening reading through Bill Harlan to earn enough karma to ask: Microsoft Natural keyboards are loud. Headphone penetrating focus thwarting loud. Any suggestions Is there a definitive regular expression for URLI address matching Do you have any suggestions or resources for learning large chunks of (plain) code Does your approach differ if it's a. pattern peppered OO,...http://www.pycs.net/sqr/categories/slicesOfPy/2003/10/01.html#a165 Thoughts on code audience- October 1, 2003 CP4E get's regularly noted when folks talk about expanding Pythons mshare by commencing more programmers. Similar to the "create, don't overtake, markets" thought. Mats Wichmann threw this discussion an appropriate curveball by asking: "If Python is so easy for humans to program in, shouldn't it also be an easy language for programs to program in ..." Fredric Lundh addresses the literal issue here. I have never analyzed code generation from UML tools before, but a comparison of...http://www.pycs.net/sqr/categories/slicesOfPy/2003/10/01.html#a163 |
