I've been using streisand for a while (from China) and it's great; the main reason I can see that you might want to use the linked project instead is that it has a lot less surface area so it could be more secure (it's a lot

(Cockroach Labs co-founder here) The source files contain tab characters (gofmt enforces this for all go projects). We configure our editors to render tabs as two spaces. There's no deep reason for this; we've just gotten used to

The fact that there is a super-specialized tool to do this demonstrates that it's not a pointless feature. It's much nicer to be able to use macports to install all the versions of python that I need instead of using brew to ins

I still use macports, although it's mainly out of habit and I'll probably switch to brew on my next mac (I've also been trying out nix, and while I really like the idea, package availability and freshness hasn't been as

Python has a standard interface just like Go's `io.{Read,Writ}er`: the `send` and `recv` methods as defined by `socket.socket`. The appeal of "sans I/O" protocol implementations is primarily for asynchronous I/O, wh

Back in the day (2001) I worked on the PalmOS version of Scrabble. One thing that surprised me when I was tuning the AI was that it played better when all words of seven or more letters were removed from its vocabulary. Apparently searching

If you like cross-language import hacks like this then you might be interested in my codegenloader package, which lets you import .proto or .thrift files directly (and it's extensible for other code generators). Mine is a little less m

If RSS scales badly for sites like Gizmodo, don't use it for sites like Gizmodo. RSS is great for small-scale personal publishing; in fact some sort of aggregator is practically a necessity for such a thing to work (this is why bloggin

Google Reader's public labels had the capability to create a group-edited metafeed, but this advanced use case was never advertised. The one use that I know of for it was on the sidebar of the Google Reader blog: Each team member had a

RSS users don't need ad blockers because obnoxious ads can't come through in a (full-content) feed, but this means that feed users have all the downsides for the site as if they did have ad blockers. And feed subscribers are much

I think that Python 3.5 now has a very elegant interface for async programming. I prefer Tornado to the standard library's asyncio, but the new keywords are nice for both packages (disclaimer: I'm the maintainer of Tornado). The d

The "loader protocol" (PEP 302) is a related trick that can be used locally, so it only affects imports from packages that opt in. I use this in https://github.com/bdarnell/codegenloader to automagically proc

C and C++ are so widely used that transitions like this are made not at the language level but at the level of platforms or other communities. Some parts of the C/C++ world made this transition relatively seamlessly, while others got c

Cool! The "why" section doesn't do a great job IMHO of explaining why this is interesting when we already have asyncio; the tutorial does a better job of showing off capabilities that are unique to this library. The key is th

(I work for CockroachDB) Our architecture is broadly similar to FoundationDB's, although in our case the separation between the layers is not as strict as I believe FoundationDB's was. This will allow us to improve performance by

I haven't looked at the patch, but the error is probably overflow: too many digits to fit in the integer variable. parse_integer() presumably returns the number of bytes consumed, so the str pointer is advanced by that many bytes to po

Third party native modules are exactly the issue. Many database drivers (etc) are wrappers around native libraries that do not integrate with gevent; the ease of integration with native code is generally one of Python's great strengths
