I’m happy to announce that I’ve finally released version 1.0 of pycparser - a complete ANSI C parser written in Python. It generates a complete AST from C code, and thus can serve as a front-end for a C compiler, or as a platform for static code analysis of C. pycparser uses PLY to construct the [...] Related posts:

Netflix (NFLX) opened up its new Microsoft (MSFT) Silverlight-based streaming movie player for Apple (AAPL) Macs and PCs yesterday, allowing subscribers to opt in to the service. This is the "huge step forward for online video players" that CEO Reed Hastings talked up during the company's recent earnings call.

Is it a "huge step forward"? Not yet. But it's a good start.

We've been testing the service on three Macs for a few days. The video quality over normal home wi-fi and a Time Warner Cable (TWC) cable modem ranges from poor to good -- see screenshot below ...

If I had a dime for every time I heard a web programmer apologize for the way his/her pages looked before revealing them, I certainly wouldn’t need to work anymore. As with color picking, I think that programmers tend to avoid doing certain things not because they are inherently bad at it, but because they don’t [...]

I started working on this library months ago and it’s been getting some use already. I spoke about it a bit at Mozilla Summit and as a result there was a post on Ajaxian, but for the most part I’ve been holding off on promoting it until I solidified the API and pushed out a [...]

A friend is asking how to install HAproxy because I’d just done it three weeks ago, so I’m publishing my install notes, most of which I stole from another friend. HAproxy is a pretty sweet tool but currently has little written about it so installation and configuration takes reading a large text manual. Here though [...]

"It's like the stupidest question in the world," Fred Wilson said of the robotic query chirped at Twitter people in every interview ("But how are you going to make money?")

Given the rate at which Twitter has seized the attention of the tech industry and become a verb, we agree. And we'll stick our necks out here: Twitter will eventually be worth more than $1 billion, possibly a lot more.

Why?

Because they'll figure out a revenue model eventually, just like Google did.

Why is Twitter different than the 9,000 other Web 2.0 companies that ...

This series is dedicated to all the people that have been inquiring about the state of my startup. For those who haven’t heard from me, I apologize for the radio silence. For those who have, and have been encouraging me to press forward, I owe a debt of gratitude. Without you I’d probably be lost. The [...]

In early April we reported on an early prototype of Firefox Mobile. Code-named "Fennec", it was only recommended for use on Nokia N810 devices. At the time, we felt that Firefox Mobile showed a lot of promise. Today screenshots have surfaced showing Firefox Mobile running on the Windows Mobile OS. We can't deny that we still think it shows promise and we're eagerly anticipating its release.
