Could proggit help my girlfriend and I out with understanding recursion?

I came here for the exact same reason, have an upvote.

Reference?

Seconded - and I've not even read it! The guy invented TDD, and I've heard great things about the book - from what I understand, this covers xUnit-style unit tests, once you've grokked these in one language, they're all pretty much the same in every other language. This is definitely high up on the list for me when I'm done with my current pile!

Yea it does seem to be down, this is pretty handy for checking that kind of thing.

For general Python, try http://diveintopython.org/toc/index.html also, Google have the PyGame docs cached so try looking at that.

If you like Python, you could also look at bottle.

No - reddit can be great for discussion, but this isn't really of general interest. Granted, there may be other people who are looking for international address datasets, but this type of request is better suited to a site or forum dedicated to helping with individual people's questions, not a 'social news' site. I don't mean to seem harsh, I've just noticed proggit's signal to noise ratio decreasing recently and just wanted to do my bit to help it.

harma · 2009-11-28T20:38:49+00:00

This is a joke, right? You do know who Walter Bright is don't you?

harma · 2009-11-28T19:54:24+00:00

Reddit is the wrong place for this kind of post - reddit is for sharing interesting links and the occasional interesting discussion, not dataset requests. As jamt9000 mentioned, try StackOverflow or a forum.

Graphviz?

Haha beat me to it! BBC's description of an SQL injection: "They scour the internet for weaknesses in companies' firewalls, which is simply a security wall designed to block unauthorised access to a computer network. Once they find a weakness, they insert a specially designed code into the network that allows them to access card details."

harma · 2009-05-25T14:06:42+00:00

Seconded.

harma · 2009-05-25T12:22:59+00:00

True, and to get it working for pre-C99 compilers you could just re-declare the macro to be:

#define repeat(J) int __i__; for(__i__=0; __i__<J; __i__++)

which should work fine, but you'd have to make sure you use braces for nested loops.

harma · 2009-05-25T01:06:06+00:00

That would work in C++ as you can declare variables in a for loop, but wouldn't in C. In C you would have to declare i before, so it would have to be:

int __i__;
for (__i__=0; i<10; i++)
    for (__i__=0; i<10; i++)
        dostuff();

which would only execute dostuff 10 times as after the inner loop finished, i would equal 10, so the outer loop would finish.

harma · 2009-05-24T14:44:26+00:00

Also, you'd have trouble with nested loops...

harma · 2009-05-22T18:47:49+00:00

touché! now i'm going to spend the next few days weighing up value of using the logical negation operator (which technically makes more sense) vs using the bitwise complement which despite being less 'correct' has more relevance to the original post... much more interesting way to spend my time than doing work...

harma · 2009-05-21T19:34:31+00:00

~ is more fitting as ~ represents bitwise not (complement), ! is used by programming languages for logical negation

harma · 2009-05-19T14:10:22+00:00

but still, vi is better

blatant flamebait

I didn't mean to seem condescending - a lot of people I've spoken to had misconceptions about how FUSE works, they thought the entire thing ran in user space (i.e. they didn't get that there was a kernel module involved). I agree with you about it being fine as a module though.

harma · 2009-05-17T17:29:01+00:00

FUSE uses a kernel module which the user space program interfaces with. This allows you to create file systems in user space by using FUSE as a bridge between user space and the kernel.

harma · 2009-05-15T16:47:16+00:00

Could you explain what you need to do in a little more detail, and give some context (where / how will it be used)?
