I remapped it to control and then got some use out of the caps lock light: http://dustin.github.com/2009/02/09/caps-lock.html

They spend more than that on humans. From the ones I know, they seem to be quite smart and good at getting computers to do the computing work while the humans can think of better stuff for the computers to do.

I'm guilty of ridiculous analogies, but some of these are just beyond making sense. The one that annoyed me the most here that I saw (twice) was the parallel between layers taking you down to understanding TCP/IP and socket programming. I'

I really like my Nexus One. I got it with no cooperation from any carrier, so they have no direct influence, and the hardware is actually pretty good.

@inlineCallbacks make linear code very easy to write in twisted. Have you tried it lately? Here's a snippet of code out of my gearman implementation: @defer.inlineCallbacks def gclient(gearman): w = client.GearmanClient(

I argue that twisted is better for most practical uses of comet. Tornado mastered only the "have lots of suspended connections" thing. Many of the examples involve blocking for processing one of those connections. What's the point of havi

tornado solves one very specific problem that friendfeed had. It's being used for other problems, but it solves them less well than, say, twisted. twisted solves networking problems of all types really well, but (as Paul mentions in his po

Because I didn't read what it actually was. :) My actual birthday is in about 30 days, so when it said it was in 15, I assumed something was confused. I now see that that something is me. Perhaps it should also tell me when these two bir

Many things equal one. I like to specify which one I'm talking when I'm writing code.

Summary: ``I don't get it.'' The parts of my code bases that are the most trouble and the hardest to work with and the parts that have the least testing have the greatest overlap. I have some bad tests that fail sporadically, but I also ha

I have a non-web, non-desktop based twitter app with a couple thousand users and just haven't had the time available to figure out how to get it doing newAuth. xAuth seems like it'd work, but, as stated in the article, that involves me goin

Interesting sales tactic. Make people go buy your products to find out which of your products you've just obsoleted.

Our workflow goes through gerrit. It's simple and I really like it that way. I don't know that this could be added to it and not make it entirely more complicated.

I created an email address a long time ago that was something like readrfc822@ just for these sites. Anyone who validates email addresses by doing anything other than sending you an email is doing it wrong.

ATT accidentally turned off SMS on my phone. I use Google Voice (android), so I just enabled SMS checking. Saves me up to $20/mo, though I do need to be somewhere with data service to get a message through. To me, the phone is a mobile da

That's just how I read this: You push at the boundary for a few years Until one day, the boundary gives way And, that dent you've made is called a Ph.D. It seems to me that calling the expansion of human knowledge a Ph.D. i

Sure, I understand it's very easy to read that as me being arrogant (and I should've expected it). I certainly didn't mean it that way. I've written and given away tons of code. I not-too-rarely meet new people and find out that they've

If I did it twice, I'd automate it. I haven't made very many AMIs, but when I did, I got it down to a little shell script that basically goes from a blank machine to me installing a few things I needed, building some stuff I needed, uninsta

buildbot is the lisp of CI systems. That is to say, as a buildbot user/contributor I look at things like this and say, ``Oh, yeah, we added latent slaves with an EC2 sample implementation somewhere around the end of 2008/beginning of 2009.'

Lack of this prevents me from buying tons of apps. The idea of spending money with no promise of ROI is pretty hard for me.

I'm using my Nexus One on AT&T with 3G. Is it somehow a different model?
