I practically rewrote every IP "agreement" for nearly every job I had since I started working in industry (ca. 1965). The terms were more or less as follows.

1. I am in the business of invention. I invent many things. I cannot possibly disclose all of them. Hence, ANYTHING I have done in the past is excluded and ANYTHING I will do after I leave your employ is excluded without having to be disclosed. This is true even if the thing invented can be construed to be directly or indirectly connected to your business. The only exception to this will be those things directly and explicitly connected to your IP disclosed to me during my employ for a period not to exceed two years after my departure for un-registered un-patented IP. Normal patent and copyright laws apply - BOTH ways.

2. What I do 0n your time with your equipment on projects specifically assigned to me is yours.

3. What I do on my time with my equipment on my self assigned projects distinct from yours is mine.

4. Since my business is invention, if the invention was concieved on your premises but is not DIRECTLY connected to your business, your disclosed IP, and your assigned project, the invention is mine. This will be true even if the invention is used to indirectly support project. In that case, a non-exclusive license to use will be granted by me to you but I still own the resultant IP.

Almost without exception, the terms were accepted. Where there was substantial disagreement, I looked for another job/contract.

Django, because it has magical powers, who can beat that?

I'm planning to start letting people use code snippets to customize stuff, actually.

"How the fuck is..." is the wrong wording, at least in idiomatic American English.

"What the fuck" (aka "WTF?") connotes more "this is wrong/surprising" than "could you please tell me the answer?". "WTF?" is often a rhetorical question, but even when it demands a response, the response is a situational explanation, not a mere bit of trivia (such as "trim is called strip").

"What the fuck is trim doing in Python?" is more idiomatic in its use of 'fuck', but would express surprise that Python has a trim() function, as if it were against the spirit of the language. Because your "How the fuck..." sounds a little like that in its use of 'fuck', it gives the wrong impression for what you're trying to achieve. (Clicking your link, I expected a rant, not a idea for a equivalence-lookup service.)

To express curiosity about the right answer -- "what is the equivalent of trim in Python?" -- but with the same sort of irreverence possible via 'swear' words, a more likely wording from a native speaker would be "how the hell do you do trim in Python?"

"How the hell" expresses exasperation but also suggests some genuine interest in a 'right' answer. (You sometimes see "how the fuck do I..." or "how the fuck do you..." also, but anything starting "how the fuck" is far less common than either "how the hell" or "what the fuck".)

In general, using 'fuck' casually can be a problem, for a number of reasons. I believe the primary reason is that it is distracting -- it claims that the containing statement is emotionally important and demands special attention.

Is a simple cross-programming-language lookup facility emotionally important? No.

So some people will act 'offended' at use of a word with other 'naughty/private' connotations, and even some people who like to swear will feel like you've diluted the word's value.

You need to save 'fuck' for really important uses, or it won't have any fucking meaning left at all.

It's not a gift to 18yr olds. It's a gift to the newspaper industry.

I'd like to be able to flag/mark a particular post so that I can continue to follow the comments that are being generated after it falls off of the front page. This would also help to parse "important" posts from those that have simply been visited. Along with this, it would be nice to be able to then unflag/unmark the post once I've followed it long enough. The unflagging could also be done automatically, after some period of time defined in my profile or per post.

You don't really learn PHP so much as catch it.

Like a disease.

Last week, I was going to register a new web service (forgot which one) and after the third captcha I couldn't get right, I just quit and decided to use a competitor instead.

What I'm trying to say is that ideally you shouldn't use a solution that is less user friendly and possibly infuriating for your future customers/users.

Not to mention things like having children or relationships.
