Yes, when a command takes a couple seconds to perform, you don't consider doing it unless you have a really good reason. Classic hg branching came into different forms: 1) a tree clone and 2) the hg "branch" commands. 1 can be very slow

I wrote a blog post a long time ago into a response of a big list someone made of exception handling anti-patterns which (in my opinion) are made possible by checked exceptions. http://www.rockstarprogrammer.org/post/2007/jun/09/java-exce.

You don't need to be that technical. 1. Open gtalk. 2. Hit menu. 3. Select "Add friend" 4. Type "im@twitterspy.org" Now you can just start tracking topics or login for friend watching or whatever.

Yeah. Tossing in another axis for lifespan would be good.

twisted does it by using deferToThread (so the call sits in a thread pool and the reactor doesn't block). I suppose they just need their twisted loop clone thing to implement deferToThread now.

Oh, I don't mean to be perpetuating the argument. I think you guys did awesome stuff. Most of my twisted work doesn't even have a web interface, some of it does, but it's fine. Some could really use some help. Tornado seems to be a grea

I get what you're saying, but twisted does all that stuff with a great deal of testing. It's the same reason smart companies are compelled to contribute changes to open source projects. That's a lot of maintenance you get for free. That's

One of the frustrating differences I ran into is the callback mechanism in tornado. You can't attach more than one callback, and the one kind of callback does two different things (meaning the callback has to determine whether or not the c

"You can't just work on someone else's framework and make it simpler" Are you suggesting that python is more complex to use than x86_64 assembler? Similarly, when I removed code from tornado to make it work with twisted, I neither tornado m

I'm not reading anything you're saying as being negative towards twisted. The thing, is twisted isn't a web framework, so nobody should find it surprising that it doesn't make it really easy and obvious how one would go about making a web s

by dlsspy 17y ago
Your perception of twisted may be as it is because you can do SO MUCH with twisted. If it's a web.py replacement you want, it doesn't add complexity. Take a look at the diff to go from a friendfeed ioloop to a twisted reactor loop (with

I made tornado work on top of twisted by removing 1,389 lines of code and adding 92 (and I believe most of that was adding compatibility wrappers to keep the API mostly sane). My effort is not done -- I do have a lot more code to remove. W

You don't have to be deep into twisted. You can just try to make an app with it, or run a demo or something and let me know what works/fails. As Tornado has no unit tests, it's difficult to see what's right or wrong without a human actuall

FYI, I've pushed up some code. Unfortunately, tornado has no tests, so I'm absolutely certain it's not completely functional, but it works as far as I'm able to test a few things on localhost. http://github.com/dustin/tornado I'd love so

I find twisted relatively easy to work with. There's no particular reason tornado can't sit atop twisted. Hopefully I'll get some time to do that this weekend. The whole tornado vs. twisted thing is unfortunate, though. It exists in its

It does, but from reading the code, it looks like it's closer to to twisted's getPage functionality. That's OK for things like Friendfeed's realtime API where you do long polls that return chunks of data and then process the data online an

"How many deployed web apps really use Twisted?" This is sort of the point. twisted isn't a web framework. It's a networking framework. I work on a lot of really awesome networking projects that either don't have web interfaces (various

I could use this in apps today if it used twisted instead of reinventing it.

ZFS certainly was in Leopard, though crippled in a couple of ways. The ZFS builds from macosforge had some degree of Apple support but that was not official, if that's what you're thinking. A lot of development went on inside of Apple for h

"better than every other current choice" That's all that really matters to me. My media system is using ZFS (currently 98.7% full), and I keep a small zpool in my backpack with a bunch of data on it I don't want wasting space on my SSD. The

It sounds like it's closer to the one I've been using which (at least as I have it configured) is more of a native emacs and less of a native mac app.
