The current modus operandus of policies as distributed by distros lumps all the policy into one big package. This results in any local policy modifications being wiped away whenever the distro pushes an update to policy. A more ideal situation is to have per module policy packages and a local policy config that allow for per module updates and local policy overrides. Read More

Well, after a 2 yearish hiatus the site is back. Surprise surprise, its back using Drupal :o} Anyway, I'll be adding some new content to the site and, as time, interest permits, reinstating old content.

class Lambda():
        pass
 
conf = Lambda()
conf.source = Lambda()
conf.source.highlight = True
 
def clap():
        print("*clap*\n" * 3)
 
if conf.source.highlight is True:
        clap()

....

Ok that was silly, but you get the idea. Source code highlighting is available (even in the comments):

<code type="python">

Check out the input filter tips for more information on using the source code highlighter.

I just tried Cuil for the first time and I have to admit I'm left wanting. A common search for me is "wiki <something>". I do this mainly because Wikipedia's own search engine isn't serviceable. However, running a similar search through Cuil netted me nada. Not only did it fail to find me what I wanted, but it also failed to do so in a timely manner. The search is sloooooooow. Which I suspect might have something to do with it Cuil showing up on Google News today (and hence may be experiencing some rather large traffic). Even still, it looks like the engine is pulling down images from the websites is finds to display next to their links and summaries (which takes time and can result in the page simply not ever finishing to load). Which leaves me with the interface. I do _not_ want 3 columns that I have to scroll. Now if they had given me, say, the option to shrink the summaries, eliminate the pictures, make everything fit on a single screen without scrolling, and shortcut keys for switching to the next page... well then maybe. As it stands, I'd say its pretty much unusable.
