Saying it's a cheap knockoff is harsh. Every new framework copies something from existing ones. Setting routes with a decorator seems pretty obvious if you've seen Sinatra, and the templating language is more inspired by Django than anythin

This is commonly used in python modules which can also be run by command line. http://effbot.org/pyfaq/tutor-what-is-if-name-main-for.htm I do agree though, it would be better to remove the if statement altogether since it's unlikely to b

I'd try tornado then. It has class based handlers, runs great on appengine, a very nice templating language, XSRF protection, secure cookies, and more. http://www.tornadoweb.org/

It would be nice if they listed the status of Appengine too.

I'm a poor self-promoter. <snip> But again, I'm not even a real programmer. Modesty isn't very useful when promoting. Tell us why your framework is better!

Although this talk is mostly slanted towards language APIs, I thought I'd share some tips for writing Web APIs: - Don't roll your own auth. Use HTTPS and include username/password in POST parameters. - Avoid Sessions. - Strict

What sort of possibilities? I'm running some sites on Google's AppEngine, and recently found out that it is blocked due to the GFW. I don't see any signs of that changing, especially with this new policy.

A few weeks ago, I spoke with someone who contacted me through the co-founder wish list. He would have benefited greatly from this article. I spent over an hour listening to him over Skype, name dropping and extolling the technical virtues

Why? Advertising has been around for hundreds of years, and is involved in nearly every medium of communication. I'd wager that a high percentage of HN users who own businesses are advertising on Google or Facebook.

Chemists in general are a crazy lot. I once worked in a lab where my job was to dispose of chemicals and clean out beakers and glassware (a dishwasher). Sometimes we needed to use concentrated sulfuric acid to clean out the particularly na

but there's something very compelling about being able to just pull the pad, tap a few things on it's custom UI, and put it back in the slot to reconfigure something. :) Yes, like disabling the cognitive circuits of an AI gon

Thanks for the feedback algorias. I'll definitely give it some thought.

Thanks for the feedback! I don't think of Caterpi as something to manage translators; it's more of a platform for translators. This is an important distinction to make, since traditionally, translation agencies frown upon direct communic

Hey andrew, I've been working on launching a site like this for the last 5 months. Feel free to check it out: http://www.caterpi.com/ Also some competitors in the same space: http://onehourtranslation.com and http://mygengo.com

I disagree. I think this is a perfect topic for HN; Dressing well is important in improving self confidence, and it is vital in making good first impressions (useful for VC funding ;). If this doesn't make sense to you, think of how you per

What I got from your quote is that he thinks it's not possible to control how data is processed after it has been received -- he's not talking about the entire process. Since the data is on somebody's server, there's nothing that can be d

Appengine's GQL is a very limited subset of SQL. The only queries which can be performed are those that can scale well, so it's doubtful that even simple things like JOINs will be supported in the future. http://code.google.com/appengine/

It's easy to say that there should be some protocol that should be followed to prevent security lapses (and I bet there is at Google), however, even Googlers are only human, and it's very likely that these things are going to happen when bu

Agreed. I've had very similar experiences. Another thing I've found is that if you are playing a sport which requires sudden direction changes (e.g. indoor ultimate), the skin can peel off the bottom of your feet. It's probably different fo

I'm not convinced. JSON objects have attributes and can contain child elements. Ordering can be provided by arrays. Namespaces are also easy to create within objects; an example would be the "type" attribute from the Freebase API. For ver

I'm always surprised when new APIs are released using XML. JSON is easier to produce and consume, so why's it taking so long to become standard?

Wow thanks! I'm always surprised at the generosity of people on the internet. =) P.S. If there's anything that you need some help with, feel free to contact me through the email in my profile.

Personally I also prefer #44, although one of my friends mentioned it looked like a pokemon :S I did see your previous submission, which is where I got the idea to ask HN (thanks!). CrowdSpring was another option, but the really smooth tra
