It probably had something to do with the Tornado 2.2 release. I noticed Ben was the one who posted about the release on HN earlier. Edit: Or it could have just been a spammer. *shrugs*

I don't think it had anything to do with the tornado release - a spammer bumped a bunch of Bret's old posts today.

we need to come up with secular/non religious ways to deal with big events, birth and death - so church is not the only option
✔ ǝuǝƃnǝ, Kelli H., bob in SimCity and 13 other people liked this
saying good bye to a loved one, for example, needs some ceremony/ritual/time/actions - and typically now the only option is to submit all their friends and family to an hour's religious preaching -which, no matter what you pick, perhaps only 15% of the audience will care about - wrapped around 15 minutes of ritual about the deceased.
- Iphigenie
For death, a low key party with a few speeches from close people followed by the burial/incineration protocol works pretty well.
- Jean-Marc Liotier
The French Revolution invented the concept of "civil baptism" - an entirely secular ceremony designed to mirror the Christian baptism and provide a social event where the newborn is welcomed into society. Some people still do it, though it is rather rare. See http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki... and http://bapteme-civil.com/
- Jean-Marc Liotier
I have also seen secular weddings at the town hall made into full-fledged ceremonies with songs and speeches to make up for the lack of religious ceremony where this sort of thing takes place for religious people.
- Jean-Marc Liotier
yes, in the UK as well the civil wedding halls are usually very pretty and the ceremony done by the civil servant has a lot of options I think? In Switzerland because the state requires the civil ceremony first (you celebrate the wedding in church after you get married) it is a quite normal option to chose to just do it there, and they too have nice options. But for death, just...

I am doing an "aperitif in memory" for my dad tomorrow in Paris and trying to thing of gestures or moments that could be helfpul and beautiful. Making everyone light a candle could be dangerous, so i thought of message-in-a-bottle perhaps (people can leave an official message in a book, but these would be "nobody reads them" messages put in a bottle that we then toss to sea later? stupid or nice, i cant decide..
- Iphigenie
well, there had been culture for civil rituals in USSR but it disappears quite quickly as everyone and his dog jump onto religious bandwagon nowadays...
- A. T.
We had a secular wedding. No mentions of any religions or gods whatsoever. Not sure about any rituals for death or birth necessarily. For my own death, I'd want just enough stuff to comfort the people left behind, but no mention of religion directly in the memorial. (Not that I could control things much at that point. But I'd do my best to make my wishes known in advance.)
- Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)
Not like a conference, more like a cocktail party where whoever wants can say a few words to the audience. Everyone shares good memories of the deceased and the whole family gets closer as the occasion puts back in touch people who may have not seen each other since a long time. In some African countries, it takes the form of a vigil that is considered a big social occasion with good food and people dressing up.
- Jean-Marc Liotier
For death, our wills call for wakes--parties with no speeches, no sermons. Among relatives who are more religious, lately I'm mostly seeing celebrations of their life (in church)--no preaching but maybe 15-20 minutes of song & remembrance.
- Walt Crawford
I haven't thought that far ahead, but I know if I could, I would like to leave this world in some kind of musical party. Kind of like those New Orleans funerals, only with a bunch of pleneros (and they can include a vejigante too) instead. Here, have a sample of what I mean: http://www.youtube.com/watch...
- Angel R. Rivera
^^^ when i die, i'll try this :)
- 9000
Naming Day's are a very popular alternative to baptism/christening here. Most funeral homes are non-denominational so it's possible to have a non-religious ceremony there. Lots of secular weddings officiated by marriage celebrants. If you come to my funeral, there will be much mention of God, but I doubt there will be a sermon.
- ☆ Mellyboo ☆
MeLB it makes sense to have god mentioned or even a sermon if God mattered to you or matters to your family. And you are right that the halls are non dominational and available but most people don't have an idea what to do, how to go about it... There's much wisdom embodied in some of the religious rituals and having to come up with something from scratch at a stressful (good or bad)...

I think, if it has meaning to you and your lost loved one, that is meaning enough xxx
- ☆ Mellyboo ☆
in the UK, the Humanist Association has created a set of ceremonies and there are trained officiants that can do non religious ceremonies. Never been to one, but the availability of them is a good thing. When I die, I want people to throw a party, wear bright colours, eat great food, support R if he's still around, reminisce my quirks and sillyness and be able to think "the world was a bit of a better place for her having been in it" << that last part I need to keep working on! :)

It looks like people are solving it, so hopefully I'm not spoiling it: Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Tab, Return. It's a variation of the Konami code (which nets you 30 lives in Contra) adapted for the keyboard. Figured out the first part from Paul's clue, but it took going through the minified Javascript to figure out a) that they didn't use the original Konami code like Google does and b) what they used for keyboard equivalents for "select" and "start."
- Mark Trapp
AWESOME! but didn't the code net you 99 lives?

Why is Safari 4 renaming tab titles to what's set in the bookmarks? Some titles need to update!

- Andrew Trinh
Slacker radio changes the title bar to the current song, that still works.
- dthree
Even when it's saved as a bookmark? Bookmark titles take priority over tab titles but this shouldn't be the case since some tab titles auto-update with important information like new mail.
- Andrew Trinh
It is a bookmark, but I didn't change the name. If I change the name of the bookmark, then it refuses to update like you mention.
- dthree
I noticed this same issue. The was I got around it was to use Top Sites for my frequent bookmarks instead of an actual bookmark.
- Brett Cannon
I think the workaround is to not change the title when you save a bookmark.

@mirat, i m not sure, basically "is" is not for equivalent, it is for object identification but the strange thing is why it differs
- aydın
yeap the point is python caches small ints (till 256) and when you define an int it returns cached small int object so "is" comparasion passes but after 256 python creates new object and "is" failed, thanks to ahmet :)
- aydın
Extra credit, explain: p=1000; q=1000; p is q
- Rob Syme
Every code object has a tuple of constants. The LOAD_CONST opcode loads a constant from this tuple onto the VM stack. So every time 1000 occurs in the program text, it refers to the same object in the tuple of constants for that block. At an interactive interpreter, each line is its own block. You can put multiple simple statements in one statement with semi-colons, so here you've...
