Derik, since Moopz gathers info from friendfeed, and does not intrude on my personal account, it does not limits the openness of my personal of "my" friendfeed. It *might* serve as a way for non-friendfeed users to consume ff content without the need to join and jump into the stream. - Kevin Sablan

Yes!!! Please!!! - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

It's one thing to see someone not liking C++(Eric Raymond) but if it is the same person who likes *Java* instead, then I am not listening. - Tabrez Iqbal

Reinteract is a system for interactive experimentation with python. You enter Python code and expressions and immediately see the results. What distinguishes Reinteract from a shell (such as IPython or the builtin interactive mode) is that you can go back and edit expressions you entered earlier and the results will flow through the part of the worksheet after the changed portion. - Michael R. Bernstein

I love the programmer friendly shells available for Python and feel the lack of one for Ruby. - Tabrez Iqbal

"This is the home page for Guppy-PE , a programming environment providing object and heap memory sizing, profiling and analysis. It includes a prototypical specification language that can be used to formally specify aspects of Python programs and generate tests and documentation from a common source." - Adewale Oshineye

How much of a heavy user do you have to be for investing time in something like this pays off? - Peter

The standard CPython distribution has very good performance profiling tools but it's lacking in memory profiling tools. So when you run into memory problems (like this: http://evanjones.ca/python-... or a problem where you're creating millions of instances of an object but you forgot to use slots) you're left trying to hack together tools whilst under pressure. Knowing how to use these tools ensures that trivial hacks stay trivial and don't devolve into marathon debugging sessions - Adewale Oshineye

Am I missing something? identi.ca is already supported. Dupe-detecting for micro-blogs is needed. - Kol Tregaskes

"The author recommends that scripting, not Java, be taught first, asserting that students should learn to love their own possibilities before they learn to loathe other people's restrictions." - Peter

Nope, I see it as innovation and evolution. Each of the version control systems you listed has advantages and disadvantages. Cool thing is that they are as good or better than their commerical counterparts. - imabonehead

Competition always brings good things. Also there are a lot of linux distributions, each picks what it suits him the best. - ropiku

"No Starch Press is offering a free chapter of its book on using open source debugging tools. Written by Norman Matloff and Peter Jay Salzman, The Art of Debugging with GDB, DDD, and Eclipse offers readers advice and strategies for each tool, says No Starch." - imabonehead from Bookmarklet

Cool... I was looking for a calendar listing the premiere dates of my favorite shows (like Heroes and House). - Cheryl Jones

Thank you very much! Now I need to search a calendar file to sync with my Google Calendar next. - Tabrez Iqbal

There aren't that many new shows; you could just enter them manually (which is what I'm going to do with the ones I missed). :) - Cheryl Jones

that's interesting - Jeremy Zawodny

But then wouldn't username-grabbers just put in a bunch of random feeds to prevent the username from being revoked by FriendFeed? - Rishabh Mishra (p248)

We can still reuse at least those usernames that are not intentionally hijacked. Like just created and forgotten. - Tabrez Iqbal

Yeah, I'm talking about the genuine cases. Can't see what the motivation for "username-grabbers" would be, by the way. - Earle Martin

"The "magic SysRq key" provides a way to send commands directly to the kernel through the /proc filesystem. It is enabled via a kernel compile time option, CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ, which seems to be standard on most distributions. First you must activate the magic SysRq option..." - imabonehead from Bookmarklet

Just yesterday I bookmarked the Wink tool for Windows. Similar tool for GNU/Linux would be awesome. - Tabrez Iqbal

That's great :). - Hassan Ibraheem

Already playing with it :) - Tabrez Iqbal

If only e-ink readers like Kindle and Sony had good support for PDF ebooks :( - Tabrez Iqbal

I guess Sony Reader got support for Adobe Digital e-books, but I don't know what that means for overall PDF support. I'm just hoping that later on the Kindle gets better PDF conversion tools/support. - Cheryl Jones
