Well, technically we are now allowed a limit of 1GB per instance, as of a couple of months ago: http://googleappengine.blogspot.com/2013/02/app-engine-175-r...

One of the Stremor devs here. I'm helping to build Liquid Helium, and wrote the cited README. Never expected that it would make its way to a public blog post :-). Yes, language processing is hard. There are two challenges here: 1) Understa

I use Sublime as my editor as well. Sublime's search functionality is pretty good too, and I can't there's anything bad about it, for my typical use cases... but I've become very used to reaching for ack, and I love the highlighting it uses

ack has been an indispensable tool in my workflow for a few years now. I use it several times a day to search code bases... most of the time, not even taking advantage of regexes or all of its many abilities. Just a basic keyword search is

That font inspector looks awesome. I've wanted exactly this several times before. It's often surprisingly difficult to pin down exactly what font the browser chooses. You can look at the CSS font declaration (which is often hard enough to f

Ironically, that's exactly what happens now -- defendants usually don't have access to the courts, because they don't have millions to defend themselves.

It helps that they don't have carrier or manufacturer branding plastered on the front.

Thanks for letting us know! They're going for $164+ on Amazon.com (my selling venue of choice -- eBay is too much trouble). Looks like I'll get an upgrade and extra cash for my v2, as I'm not interested in hacking.

Did you look at Blogofile? If so, how did it compare to Pelican?

Caching plugins are a prerequisite for Wordpress to survive heavy traffic though, even on much more powerful servers. Anyone who knows what they're doing is using one.

Is this running from home? If so, do you have a static IP? Does your ISP allow home servers?

It would be great if someone (esp. the generator's authors or users) could comment on how this is different than the other Pythyon static site generators, such as Pelican. Based on the docs, it appears that it's built with easy deployment t

Something very similar happened to my seller account late last year. The emails were very similar -- including the cause for the closure (alleged linkage to a previously closed account). Story here: http://aaron.kavlie.net/2011/12/web/amaz

Sorry, misread the review for the Lumia 800. I'd always been under the impression that the Lumia phones were anodized aluminum; turns out they're polycarbonate. Still, there's the One S, for... one. And that was just a quick find among the

Gruber says that "none of the competing phones on the market are made of metal" . So what about the Lumia 800 (1)? Or the One S (2)? 1) http://www.theverge.com/2011/11/3/2534861/nokia-lumia-800-re... 2) http://www.theverge.com/2012/4/2/

What, is it possessive?

Thanks for the feedback. The problem you note with spin showing above the top bar will be fixed in a few minutes. I think people may be interested in Volume (a measure of how big the story is), but it's not showing enough differentiation by

This is the first product released by Stremor, the startup I'm working at. Aside from being an interesting and useful news reader/aggregator in its own right, it's meant to show off our language heuristics tech to automaticaly rate news ar

PadMapper currently uses 3Taps to access Craigslist data, which piggybacks on search engine results. Craigslist can't prevent this but by a) setting the whole site to Disallow in robots.txt, removing the whole site from search results on Go

"terse" is about the last word that I would use to describe Java. Compared to almost every other language I've had exposure to, it's more verbose.

Awesome, very happy to see the Todoist founder here :-) I compared several todo web apps several years ago, and found Todoist to have the best UI -- never understood why people liked "Remember the Milk" so much. I haven't used it (or any o

Does anyone else find this style of headline odd? I've noticed it a lot lately; mostly in the NY Times.

I'm curious: how long have you been running Ubuntu on your X220? And how stable has it been? I was using Ubuntu on an X220 as my development machine for a while, with Ubuntu 11.04. It was extremely unstable -- the machine would freeze fre

I ran into this when Unity first debuted. That's when I knew it wasn't ready for prime time. It's sad that this is still a limitation, but not entirely surprising. Canonical seemed to be intent on pushing this to everyone regardless. And no

Anyone else have thoughts on the various Python blogging options? I've been shopping for one lately myself. Leaning toward Pelican (Pydanny's choice, and Kenneth Reitz's as well), but willing to entertain other options.
