Indeed, Facebook is already using their own fork of PHP.

Why not Heroku in this case?

Wish you the best!

Merci :-)

Check out what my friends at CozyCloud are working on: https://www.cozycloud.cc/

They want to be your user-friendly personal cloud. Easy as an an App Store. Open source. Host it wherever you want. Your data and your apps are yours.

"Host it wherever you want" - unless it's physically self-hosted, it's not truly "yours" is it?

You can host it on your own machine. Even if you host it via an hosting provider, you can export all your data and your apps to any new servers like an home server for example!

> I'm not very familiar with the culture of the Python community so this might come across as offending, but why such an obsession with "pure" Python?

I think it refers to the implementation, meaning the library has no C modules and is written 100% in Python.

This means it should be able to run on all Python implementations, including Jython, IronPython, PyPy, Google App Engine...

I'm Alexey Malashkevich, one of the Pony ORM authors. For now Pony ORM runs on CPython only because there is no access to frames in other implementations. "Pure Python" means that you can write queries in term of objects using Python generators.

OK, thanks. But isn't it the point of all ORMs? Why the emphasis on pure?

Pure in this case means that you can use Python syntax in order to query a database. This way a database query looks identical to an iteration over a list of Python objects.

I see. It actually makes sense to emphasize the purity in this case, since it almost looks like Pony is messing with the Python interpreter itself.

Ordinarily this is what "pure python" would mean. Since "pure python" libraries can run anywhere without compiling C code.

But in this case, they are referring to the fact that you don't have to write SQL and write your queries using Python syntax generators.

Did a lot of AMOS too when I was in high school. We made a nice platform game with two friends and released it as shareware. Lots of small experiments too, including some attempts at adventure games. :)

Were some companies acquired multiple times the same year, or is there a bug somewhere? (RazorFish is listed 3 times in 2002, DoubleClick and Skype twice in 2005, Getty Images twice in 2008, Sterling Commerce twice in 2009.)

ouch! fixed, thanks :)

Are they?

Read the actual, complete release notes here:

LLVM, http://llvm.org/releases/3.2/docs/ReleaseNotes.html

Clang: http://llvm.org/releases/3.2/docs/ClangReleaseNotes.html

The project has recently moved to Sphinx, and the transition was only completed after branching for 3.2. It looks like the release notes have gotten out of sync and need to be merged, which is a little more work than usual. The link from the homepage points to docs that are always generated from trunk, so it only has old, incomplete notes.

Yes.

If you want this as a service, you may want to look at http://about.me/

also http://flavors.me and my project http://qiip.me

They're meant to differentiate their CPUs, and find a good use for the billions of transistors that their process technology allows them to include in their designs. So the question is, what's better: more cache, more cores (diminishing returns after 4), or a specialized accelerator for 3D, video and generic heavily parallel computations (GPGPU)?
