SQLAlchemy is a tough act to follow... Unfortunately. We see the same problem over in Haskell land - it's slightly more difficult there because Haskell will never have something like an "ORM", it's more like an "RRM

My objection is automatically updating your server using deployment scripts checked out from a git repository. Git wasn't and will never be designed to be a deployment solution, and automatically updating a cluster of servers using a c

Using the word "hate" was probably unfair; I can see it being okay for the small Heroku/WPEngine project deployment. What I mean by that statement is that VCS was never designed to be a deployment solution. I won't argue

I'm not condemning ansible, or even ansible-pull for that matter. I love and use ansible in my own company.

You know, it's funny, because as a programmer and watching this interaction happen over the years (between programmers and people that are good at cryptography/security) I've come to this conclusion: It's down to the fac

This sounds like a recipe for breaking your servers without knowing about it. Plus, I hate VCS deployment strategies; I used to do them too but I've become wiser since. I can see this being useful for a basic sort of "dependency

Using a VCS as your deployment strategy is The Wrong Way to do it. I won't go into it in this comment because it's been beaten to death and you can find information about deployments everywhere; even the commenter on your blog pos

Jails have been around for a while in FreeBSD and they are often used for this exact purpose ; the concept has only, really, entered the mainstream due to widespread usage of EC2/OpenStack and now Docker (which is basically FreeBSD Ja

His failures to criticize these regimes suggests that his true motive throughout has been to injure the national security of the United States, not to advance Internet freedom and free speech. This kind of logic baffles me.

Have you read them? Because so far it has only been encyclopedic (to me) because of the vast amount of material he covers, and the depth with which he covers it. Aside from that, his writing style is actually conversational and clear to fol

I'm (slowly) moving through ACP at this time. Definitely not night-stand reading! The clarity of his thought is impressive and shines through on the pages of his books; reading and doing the exercises in his books has made a noticeable

Fabric is great for running commands . But what a lot of programmers do not realize is that deployment is a process . That process involves running automated tests, packaging all of the assets, using package managers to upgrade/downg

Both Git and Rsync are incompetent deployment tools for many reasons I will not go into in a comment as there are quite a few articles expounding on the virtues of not using your VCS. There are also numerous reasons why rsync is inappro

True re: encoding or decoding; but it does make sense to me to keep it in ByteStrings as that is an efficient representation - from ByteStrings you can do what you want with it (convert it to Text). I personally haven't used the Text.I

1. I don't think they define too many specialized operators personally; Haskell's heritage is more "mathematical" than many other languages so it makes sense that many variables are single letters and operators are defin

The only Haskell web application framework I feel is well-designed is Snapframework. My experiences with Yesod echo your sentiment and Happstack doesn't quite cut it. Scotty is too low-level (from my cursory investigation). The compile

Emacs + org-mode + remember/capture does all of this and much more . The system is very powerful and because I synchronize my calendar with org-mode I can also quickly capture TODOs, EVENTs, notes, bookmarks, ideas, TOREADs, journal e

Cool idea, it reminds of an IronKey but for Bitcoin; I'm frustrated that there isn't any solid or easily findable technical information about the device though! When I click on "About Trezor" it takes me to...a brief ove

The PRISM/NSA blowout was the last straw to break this camel's back. I've been growing dissatisfied with the constant urge to check Facebook/Twitter/G+ all the time, I've also been irked by how my very persona

We use Riak in production and LevelDB is a must IMHO (except for some edge cases); bitcask is nice, but 2i is nicer.

Oh I understand clearly, there are lots of people on here complaining about injustices and that someone needs to fix them. I'm telling them that they are being ridiculous and should just go do what they want to do and that no one (including

Well, yeah. I basically am saying "stop complaining" but I'm not directly saying "become one of them" I'm saying "become what you WANT".

Oh I'm sure there are difficulties in our day and age, I don't mean to trivialize it - but the idea that "people being paid $20M a year while I write code and get paid $140K a year is unfair" strikes me as ridiculous. The resource available

Not saying you have to be a robot (I've been emotional about all of my comments in this thread), but there is a point at which emotional logic in an argument clouds the true purpose of the argument. In this case, the purpose was to criticiz

Criticism can be legitimate, constructive analytical criticism can be enlightening (studying what went wrong). Claiming that all of the execs made a terrible effort and implying that it is "unfair" they are being paid well (maybe they aren'

Criticizing it is totally okay. What the OP said though was much more than "constructive analytical criticism" - there was a lot of emotion and ambiguous assumptions built into his statement that make very little sense.
