- Ozkan Altuner
@Paul the Closure project has three components: compiler, library, and template language. Looks like the Closure/library might be competing with jQuery.
- Shakeel Mahate
this is sweet!
- Jay
I think jQuery does a lot of stuff that might confuse the compiler, e.g. iterating over an array of string function names and creating new function wrappers (look at the way the parent/child/next/prev/etc functions get installed) The Closure library is also full of type annotations that help the compiler make better optimization choices, so you're likely to get a better compiled outcome using Closure than jQuery + fixes + compiler

Congratulations to the team (and @Paul & Jing) -- I know everyone's been waiting a long time for this. For anyone considering whether to use jQuery vs Closure, consider that they're meant for largely different purposes. jQuery's good for enhancing static web pages; Closure's much better at building large apps. And as Ray points out above, Closure the library is going to get much better results from Closure the compiler than an arbitrary js library would, because of all the type annotations.

17.6. multiprocessing — Process-based “threading” interface — Python v2.6.4 documentation - http://docs.python.org/library...
Tudor Bosman, Ozkan Altuner, sirishkumar and 16 other people liked this
"multiprocessing is a package that supports spawning processes using an API similar to the threading module. The multiprocessing package offers both local and remote concurrency, effectively side-stepping the Global Interpreter Lock by using subprocesses instead of threads. Due to this, the multiprocessing module allows the programmer to fully leverage multiple processors on a given machine. It runs on both Unix and Windows."

Spooky. I have had this page open in a browser window for the past week.
- Gabe
Interesting. I was not aware that Python has multiprocessing lib. Can someone teach me how commonly this module used by pythonista? For example, is FriendFeed using it? The best part I like about Java is its java.util.concurrent package and I wish I could add this kind of feature to Ruby someday. (I'm nahi at ruby-lang.org, one of a std-lib committer)
- NaHi
from f2p
I wasn't aware of it either, and I don't think it's commonly used, but it's pretty interesting. FriendFeed mainly uses Tornado's nonblocking event-driven architecture along with a little bit of multithreading.
- Jim Norris
I had stumbled upon this a few weeks ago; works great for those cases where you want to take some else's (potentially non multi-* aware) code and throw it across all of your cores.
- Eric Borisch
Jim: Thanks for comment. I found that multiprocessing module is bundled as a std-lib from Python 2.6 (2008-10-01, PEP 371). Widely adoption is yet to come and you picked this as a topic; I've understood now. And for me it's interesting to know that FriendFeed mainly uses Tornado's events for background jobs. Jobs I thought are search indexer, keyword matcher, index table updater, cleaner, etc. I thought these jobs needs to be passivated/backup-ed and restored but it may not be needed by careful design.

"Norvig’s writeup is a short essay explaining about 100 lines of Python that can solve any Sudoku. Jeffries [inventor of XP] writeup, by contrast, is spread over five lengthy blog postings here, here, here, here, and here and ends without coming anywhere close to actually producing a program that can solve any but a tiny subset of all Sudoku problems." http://www.gigamonkeys.com/blog...
- Bret Taylor
This is so bizarre. A Sudoku board is a 9x9 grid of integers. Most basic brute force solvers can easily solve any Sudoku game. The Siebel guy talks about the representation problem as if it were some sort of question where it's reasonable that serious working programmers would have any trouble at all representing it. Hello. NINE BY NINE ARRAY. And yes, Python has two dimensional arrays: you just make an array of arrays. (Norvig's hash table is also fine, mind you.)

Paul, I remember discussing this post with you back when he wrote it, and wondering what Steve has against pair programming.

Nathan Myhrvold is a fun guy, a good photographer, and full of energy and ideas. Unfortunately, when it comes to climate science, he's a intellectually lazy, unable to understand the most rudimentary data, and confuses his grand boondoggles with reality---at least if you believe Levitt and Dubiner's account. I think if you work in software, you get used to the idea that you have latitude to design what you want, and if it is fundamentally a good idea, you can make it work. Unfortunately, physical sciences that deal with the real world are not like that. A "good idea" will fail if it does not jibe with reality.

It'd be hard to prepare food without side-effects.
- Laurence Gonsalves
The words "cookbook" and "recipe" are almost synonymous with imperative step-by-step directions. There are books about cooking which instead have the aim of educating you about the art and science of food preparation, which you might think of as a more declarative style of programming -- they describe the constraints, you solve them to reach your goal.

But first you need a vegetable factory, which is of course instantiated via a vegetable factory factory, which is itself specified in an XML file.

Aren't those just a series of blog posts about how you can set up a panel of judges to evaluate how tasty your dish is, and also some discussions of the best way to organize your cookware, and whether a measuring cup is a subset of spoons, without ever discussing the actual preparation of food?

Shouldn't you have some sort of vegetable service, so you can instantiate different vegetables at runtime? Also, I may need to unit test that bottle of wine you're cooking with.

That's an implementation detail Dan, and therefore less important than the fact that we've carefully avoided creating any explicit dependencies. Presumably there's some kind of framework that can help with this.
