ronnix··on Pony ORM - Use Pure Python to Speak to Your Data
OK, thanks. But isn't it the point of all ORMs? Why the emphasis on pure?
ronnix··on Pony ORM - Use Pure Python to Speak to Your Data
> I'm not very familiar with the culture of the Python community so this might come across as offending, but why such an obsession with "pure" Python?

I think it refers to the implementation, meaning the library has no C modules and is written 100% in Python.

This means it should be able to run on all Python implementations, including Jython, IronPython, PyPy, Google App Engine...

ronnix··on Two years of life as an expat coder in middle-of-no-where Japan
Did a lot of AMOS too when I was in high school. We made a nice platform game with two friends and released it as shareware. Lots of small experiments too, including some attempts at adventure games. :)
ronnix··on Show HN: Startup data 2000-2012 from CrunchBase
Were some companies acquired multiple times the same year, or is there a bug somewhere? (RazorFish is listed 3 times in 2002, DoubleClick and Skype twice in 2005, Getty Images twice in 2008, Sterling Commerce twice in 2009.)

ronnix··on Comparing Intel HD 2000/3000/4000 Linux Graphics
They're meant to differentiate their CPUs, and find a good use for the billions of transistors that their process technology allows them to include in their designs. So the question is, what's better: more cache, more cores (diminishing returns after 4), or a specialized accelerator for 3D, video and generic heavily parallel computations (GPGPU)?
ronnix··on Ask HN: What startups use C and Python?
What Python tools or libraries are you using for infrastructure automation?
ronnix··on Gittip stats
I like this, and I just signed up! Do you think tipping is something that GitHub might want to add as a core feature of their web site?

Definitely feels faster here in Paris, France.

Cool. Fabric rocks!

ronnix··on Hello World execution time
The Python interpreter does an implicit "import site" on initialization.

You can disable it using the -S option if/when you care about startup time.

Here are some numbers on my MacBook Pro:

$ ./run.sh bash hello.sh

median 0.002

$ ./run.sh python hello.py

median 0.016

$ ./run.sh python -S hello.py

median 0.008

It's been more than a day for me. It's Tuesday and I still have not regained access to my GMail account...
ronnix··on New MacBook Pro series
Yep, those CPUs only support 8GB max.

See the Intel Core i7 2620M (the 2.7Ghz part in the high-end 13" model) spec sheet for example: http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=52231

ronnix··on Nokia to get 'huge' payments from Microsoft
Not sure if it is viable, but Google has been doing it for some time with Android. The open-source version is free, and if the manufacturer includes the various Google Apps on top, they get a cut of the ads revenue.
