I recently helped create an on-line Python proficiency test. The
publisher of the test is looking for beta testers to try the test and
give feedback. If you are interested, here is an announcement from the
publisher:
Brainbench is currently beta testing a new series of test questions
for our Python 2.4 test.
We are looking for knowledgeable Python 2.4 users.
To take the test, simply go to
http://www.brainbench.com/xml/bb/com.../betatests.xml
and the rest should be self-explanatory.
Any feedback you can provide us on the quality of the questions and
the test itself would be greatly appreciated.
You will be given the opportunity to provide anonymous feedback on
each question as it is administered as well as at the end of the test.
We hope that you enjoy the test and look forward to your feedback!
Feel free to pass this along to your friends.
Thanks in advance for your help and good luck!

Had a look. In between my browser blocking a popup on every page and the
registration asking far more details that I felt necessary, I stopped
before looking at the actual test.

Likewise, I wanted to see a sample test (for any subject) but couldn't
do that without a long-winded registration procedure.

I managed to take the test,though not it's entirety.
I am still far being proficient in Python,but I really liked the
thought-provoking questions in there.
thanks so much.

Folks:
I've been considering a shift to python. I currently use c++builder
(borland) or perl. I do computational models / statistics
programming, and was interested in python b/c it
a. has a library that connects to the R stats package
b. has code that seems way more readable than anything else
There is, however, at least for my work, a hard constraint. Execution

is python more popular than coldfusion?
I realsie that is a very general question as one thing does not directly relate to the other. My issue is that I am ditching coldfusion due to there being next to no work for it, and I am thinking of taking on python as a second language to java in the hope of improving my resume.

Hi All,
I am a graduate student in EE. I have a question that might seem
unusual but in my opinion it is interesting and I request all experts
to reply.
Being a grad student, I came along many programming languages like
Assembly, C, C++, VHDL, Matlab, Perl etc. and I dont remember how I
learned them. I am more comfortable with Assembly programming than
others. The question is how do you measure proficiency in C and C++ ?

Hello. Please tell me whether this feature request is sane (and not

From the introduction to PyObjC, the Python-Objective-C bridge on Mac OS X:
"As described in Objective-C for PyObjC users the creation of
Objective-C objects is a two-stage process. To initialize objects, first
call a class method to allocate the memory (typically alloc), and then
call an initializer (typically starts with init). Some classes have
class methods which perform this behind the scenes, especially classes

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
