NB a tuple of one item only requires a trailing comma, and a tuple of zero items is represented as ()

I don't mean to be pedantic, but a list (I am assuming df is a list) requires an int.
(That sentence I wrote about using hashable types need not apply, sorry!)
If you ran that code, you would get this error:
TypeError: list indices must be integers, not list

alist = [foo(word) for word in words if word.startswith('a')]
alist = map(foo, filter(lambda word: word.startswith('a'), words))
Which reads better?

Afaik Apple's switching power supplies support the specifications you described (for example, see Mac Mini's tech specs https://www.apple.com/mac-mini/specs.html -- 50-60Hz 100-240v AC).
Not to mention Apple sells region-specialized units just like every other major computer retailer.

>Your Python code is just wrong.
Could you elaborate? I want to understand how to fix it.
EDIT: I really want to know what is wrong with my code. It works. Is it a stylistic concern?
$ dd bs=1m count=10 if=/dev/random of=randomdata
10+0 records in
10+0 records out
10485760 bytes transferred in 0.878533 secs (11935535 bytes/sec)
$ python stdin_to_stdout.py < randomdata | cmp - randomdata
$ echo $?
0
EDIT2: I think I know how you came to the conclusion my code is wrong. Perhaps next time you should read the __entire__ post. Thank you.

That mangles binary data.

Unrelated but it looks like www.aol.com's robots.txt is served as text/html http://www.aol.com/robots.txt
Is this a common mistake?

I respect your work, but I must say this: "You are terrible."
Why you might ask? Well ask any kid who has been forced off to Bible Camp or some other humiliating childhood summer activity.
Keep up the great work!

http://clojurescriptkoans.com/#higher-order-functions/10 got me good. Why is it one needs to use `(count a) (count b)` instead of just `a b` like worked when comparing string lengths in a previous ClojureScript Koan?
Re:Why Putting SSH On Another Port is a Good Idea
on Saturday October 26, 2013 @07:07PM (#6619826)
After pondering this article, I think the only reason to run SSH on a different port is to prevent zero day ssh authentication bypasses, which I don't think is a decent reason -- I'll eat my hat when this happens again.
Re:A negative captcha
on Monday September 30, 2013 @12:33AM (#6467808)
This is a cool idea but I am skeptical of how effective it is long-term. If I am understanding the design correctly this method comparable to simply changing the name attributes on input tags. It'll take awhile for spammers to catch on though I believe this negative captcha's effectiveness will decrease dramatically with adoption.
