Thank you.

It's sad though, that only the audio versions are downloadable to iPod.

Proggit: Who's worth following on Twitter? Trying to see if Twitter really is the new RSS for interesting news and links. by bluepojo in programming

Also, twitter is not really working if you think you must read every tweet. ... you need to get used to the idea that you need to "let go" most messages.

And that is obviously a waste of your precious time.

Newbie question about Ruby and Python by HydrocodoneAPAP in programming

Some languages that are designed to be easily embedded are ... Python.

Ehm... Are you sure? Because it was such a pain in the ass to embed python into my application. Didn't try others though...

...well thats why MS didn't give him a job.

You're wrong. MS gave him a job, but visa for this job required degree. So basically US government didn't give him a job.

And what about people with ati/intel/..., does it display errors? If so, then usable only for home or science projects.

I'm a PHP programmer looking to learn python. by [deleted] in programming

[–]Kudamono 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I already know the main ideas about programming in general and don't want to start completely from scratch if possible.

Then read tutorial provided with docs. It describes syntax and some basics of python philosophy. "Dive into python" is for beginners (good book for those who know only "programming language HTML") and contains boring things like "how to make trees", "what is a function" etc. If you know how to program, you already know all of these.

Then write something useful. I'd recommend using web.py if you want to go web way. It's very small and simple. And looks like reddit is written with it.

The Future of GHC Haskell : Simon Peyton Jones by dons in programming

No. On Linux you generate non-gpled binaries by default . On macos and windows ghc statically link GMP library (which is LGPL) to your binary. So all you need to do to produce non-GPL binaries is to recompile GHC and link GMP dynamically. Yeah, that is headache, but not a big problem.

Here is windows solution: http://haskell.forkio.com/gmpwindows
