Much of Angular's power comes from its declarative syntax. Much of the time, you set down what you want to happen, and not how.

The problem is, it's not always obvious what "the Angular way" is, but on the plus side, I've just thought of a title for a series of blog posts...

This is mine: http://docs.angularjs.org/guide/dev_guide.unit-testing

I don't have anything to add beyond this quote from the linked-to blog post:

"Even when a girl rejects your advances, she KNOWS that you desire her. That’s hot. It arouses her physically and psychologically.”

Congratulations to David Beazley!

No, Python doesn't. Read Guido's justification here: http://neopythonic.blogspot.com/2009/04/tail-recursion-elimi....

For anybody wanting to learn Twisted, I can only really recommend the excellent introduction to asynchronous programming (with Twisted) here: http://krondo.com/?page_id=1327

The Python docs[0] for the random module also state, quite clearly, that "the basic function random()... is completely unsuitable for cryptographic purposes".

This is something I've offered informally before. Is it something you'd pay for?

There's also a version up on the PSF blog: http://pyfound.blogspot.co.uk/2012/11/pythonorg-is-getting-m...

I had a Russian lecturer at my (British) university, who was fond of telling us that Russian lectures are like the British parliament -- people standing up and shouting all the time -- while British lectures are like the Russian parliament -- everybody sitting in cowed silence.

I think you're thinking of Jack Diederich's talk "Stop Writing Classes". You can (and should!) watch it online here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9pEzgHorH0

Hm. It identified Bislama - pidgin English from Vanuatu - as Indonesian.

I tend to use car and cdr when I'm writing functions with some kind of list recursion, and first and rest when I'm using lists as a data structure - not so much of a difference really, but seems to be a useful way to see quickly what a function's doing.
