Dumb python tricks:

python -c 'import random;import string;v="aeiou";c=[f for f in string.ascii_lowercase if f not in v];f0=random.sample(v,3);f1=random.sample(c,3);n=[str(random.choice(range(10))) for n in range(2)];g=f0+f1;g[::2]=f0;g[1::2]=f1;print("".join(g+n))'

Is anyone really surprised critical infrastructure at twitter is breaking? We knew this was going to happen with brain drain.
Poll: Would you be willing to buy a touchscreen Mac?

For years, Apple has been against the idea of having a Mac with touchscreen support. Instead, the company has always argued that the iPad and Mac should be separate devices – even though the iPad now basically functions like a Mac when attached to a keyboard and mouse. But according to recent rumors, Apple is […]
