Using Python is like eating delicate gourmet foods. You know, great and innovative ideas, small portions, cheering up your mind, and tasting of the “Good Life”. Whereas using Lisp is like cooking that food.
This is an example why should one follow the rule of using ‘===’ and avoid ‘==’
var a = [];
[!!a, a == false] == [true, true]
You get !!a == true and at the same time a == false, now you are confused, ain’t you?

[!!a, a [...]
jQuery Keyboard Shortcut Hooker Plugin is now called Hotkeys. Make sense, right? The script was tested on Linux, Windows, and MacOS, IE, Safari and Firefox.
The final result is relatively small file (121 lines of code). But do not let this fact misleading you by underestimating its value.

In IE (v: 7.0.5730.11) all GET request are cached. Go figure why.
In order to solve this issue, you can either switch to POST, or add a time stamp to any url you send.
function uncache (url){

Today I noticed that Aaron Swartz’s name is missing from the list of those who made reddit. For some reasons I think the name is missing on purpose.
When I read Aaron’s post Office Space, I felt the same as I felt When I read How Software Company Dies. These are the mistakes done every day [...]
I know they said: don’t look a gift horse in the mouth. Yet, since I have been riding on this horse for so many miles, I feel comfortable to point out few missing features I believe would make this a-grade web application even better.
I could not believe that a *Made In Google* application will miss [...]
1997 was the releasing year of Macromedia Flash 2. Since then, GNU/Linux became the most progressive operating system, mySQL is one of the most popular database on earth. Firefox has bitten and beaten IE, and Open-Source software is the hottest thing Intel processors ever calculate. Yet, at this moment, in case my artistic soul has [...]
from datetime import date, timedelta
def calc(year, week):
d = date(year,1,1)
d = d - timedelta(d.weekday())
dlt = timedelta(days = (week-1)*7)
return d + dlt, d + dlt + timedelta(days=6)
The following 4 lines says it all:
x = 2
for y in range(2,24):
… x= x*x*y
… print x, ‘\n’
Watching the generated numbers running on the screen get me so high that I feel I can start writing poetry.

I am trying to find my way in the open-source world. So far, for almost a decade, I did all kind of projects mostly database-driven applications, all using Microsoft tools running on Microsoft servers and desktops.
Even though I was generally satisfied with my achievements, I coudn’t ignore this growing community of smart people who twist [...]
