Renewables can't provide a consistent baseload which is a big (unfortunate) drawback.

This is a WIP (hence why there are drafts and todos). This is being done by the folks at http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide which is definitely a valuable resource if you're trying to learn Bash and its idiosyncrasies.

Another good resource is http://wiki.bash-hackers.org/.

I've been using Jetbrains' 0xDBE recently (https://www.jetbrains.com/dbe/) and I highly recommend it:

  * it works with IDEAVim
  * it uses JDBC so you can easily connect to "non-standard" DBs by using any JDBC driver
  * it's better than psql/vsql/... for dealing with complex queries (you have a real editor rather than limited readline support, if you're lucky enough to have readline support)

1. Except the .eu I guess (otherwise I agree).

That will better for phone interviews will Google than the "plain" Google Doc (which is just terrible for writing code -and that's normal-).

Oh totally, you're right, I misread his comment.

Isn't Less written in JS now?

I think you missed my point.

I agree that for trivial regex it's useless. For instance (directly taken from Python doc) in this case:

  a = re.compile(r"""\d +  # the integral part
                     \.    # the decimal point
                     \d *  # some fractional digits""", re.X)
  b = re.compile(r"\d+\.\d*")

that's useless. But for more complex problems it may be useful (e.g. http://www.doughellmann.com/PyMOTW/re/ I know email matching regexes are not really complex or even a good example of use of regexes but that's the first example I found).

Another point is that even if I can read/write (that's the case) regexes other people may have to deal with my code and it's a well known fact that many people doesn't understand/like regex, so splitting them in small "chunks" may help them.

> RE patterns can be horribly ugly

It worth to be noted that the verbose flag (re.X or re.VERBOSE in Python) may help to get more readable/friendly regexes (by allowing whitespace and comments).

I think you misunderstood the phrase (which has been removed since?).

I signed up (my web history has been disabled for months) and I only have data about my OSes/emails/locations, nothing about search "Web History No activity found."

Thanks, good luck!

Do you have any sources for those numbers? Thanks!

I assume it's Python 2 (print is a keyword, not a function).

Ok thanks for the explanations.

"<additional meta> It is bad form on HN to complain about downvotes."

I didn't complain I just wanted explanations.

Can someone explain me the downvotes?

I mean the Microsoft/Google thing was a half serious, half joke question.

I'm French and I really think that's a shame.

What's next? Microsoft to sue Google because Docs are free?

It looks like it's Pentadactyl (an addon to use Fx with Vim-like key bindings) which provides this behaviour.

I'm not sure we really need all those bars. I mean I use this http://i.imgur.com/0U1yW.png everyday and it's perfectly fine/usable (ok we may need to add an url/toolbar for most people, but at least it merge the tab bar and the title bar).

Edit: It also merges the file/tools/help bar in the left button.

I might come too !

Note that we can use the @functools.lru_cache(None) to easily benefit from memoization.

That's strange. While it's true I have "very" secure fb settings, I allowed your app to use my email address. Anyway I'll try to login with Google.

When I tried to see problems of fall 2011 (using Facebook for login).

Nice error handling from them...

  A Database Error Occurred

  Error Number: 1048

  Column 'email' cannot be null

  INSERT INTO `recruit_hackers` (`email`) VALUES (NULL)

  Filename: /var/www/istreet/html/recruit/models/supermodel.php

  Line Number: 335

"For an example of what happens when you break compatibility in the name of "progress" see Python3, which years on is still not installed by default anywhere, and probably never will be."

Python 3 is the default on some Linux distros (e.g. Arch Linux)...

Yes, but I'll never trust enough a company to give it all my login infos.

Totally agree, if I'm not wrong Jay just packed the Liu Liu code into a jQuery plugin, right?

By the way the "big thing" isn't the hardest part of this. The most important thing is probably the review of issue/pull request, and everybody who want to help can do that ;)

I don't really know it really depends on the number of a contributor! The goal isn't to have a huge blog with 20posts/day. The hard thing is to get a motivated team to get started to be sure the idea will last (there's no point if everybody post something at the beginning and then nothing).

Maybe we should start to talk on IRC? Or Google groups to see who's motivated?
