I use Pelican for my blog. It's pretty straight forward. http://readthedocs.org/docs/pelican/en/2.8/

anyone know what the time complexity of the append function is?

I got the urge to learn how to touch type in my mid-twenties. I didn't take typing classes in high school because I took programming classes for my tech credits, so I never learned. I started off using Qwerty but found my hands cramping up

I have an old Moto Razr that I put my SIM card in when I go on long bike rides in the boonies. The battery lasts longer and if I fall I don't have to worry about crushing my smartphone.

That's somewhat true. There's no need to model data structures like trees, maps, sets and lists in a data store that supports them natively. This article is still useful when using Redis because the article describes techniques apart from

Here's a quick benchmark on my machine (a EeePC 1001HE). I used reduce1 with clojure-py because there doesn't seem to be a reduce BIF. I don't know if that effected this benchmark any: Python: (time (reduce1 + (range 100000))) E

I get the same feeling now that I've adopted TDD. I've lost that magic of spending most of my time debugging code. Now I just define the outcome I want, assert that a unwritten function produces that outcome and code the outcome. Sigh /

Yeah, I don't see a reason why the entire stack has to be on one machine. It simplifies configuration a little but there's a trade off in the granularity of resources allocation that comes with the tiered approach. 1st, web servers are are

In my opinion they're both KV stores. Where they differ is what data structure they store. Cassandra stores BigTable rows indexed by a key and Riak is a binary blob + metadata indexed by a key. I suppose it all depends on how be define a

That's what I was getting at. It's appears to be a CP system. I wish all new distributed databases would have a nice little badge that says, "CP", "AP" or "CA". Whenever they claim to be distributed but not subject to CAP, I automatically

From the FAQ < http://hyperdex.org/faq/> : "So, the CAP Theorem says that you can only have one of C, A, and P. Which are you sacrificing? HyperDex is designed to operate within a single datacenter. The CAP Theorem holds only for as

I am going to try for a week or two. Having nearly 12 hours dedicated to work, I only have 4 exhausted hours in the evenings for eating dinner, spending time with my wife, kids and myself. If my wife and I split our sleep cycle into two 4

I read it cover to cover. For most of the chapters I read the left side, answer the question in my head and then looked to the right to see if I was right. Having just learned Clojure using "The Joy of Clojure", If there was anything I nee

I read it on my Kindle so I assumed the bad formatting was caused by reformatting to fit the Kindle.

No, I don't think so. Those books were chosen not because they're good at teaching you C but rather because they're good at introducing you to concepts like memory layout, data structures and algorithms.

Thanks for the recommendation. That was one of the text books that I looked at but the sticker shock steered me towards free MIT course notes.

What I got out of The Little Schemer wasn't really how to write Scheme but more how to solve problems recursively. At least for me it excelled in that aspect. As a method for teaching Scheme, I am certain it leaves much to be desired.

Do you have a book recommendation to help someone read papers. I spent an couple evenings going over MIT course notes on discrete mathematics to attempt to read a paper on Conflict-free Replicated Data Types < http://hal.archives-ouver

I apologize for any offense that I may have given by using the phase "self-taught computer scientist". This article is my personal recommendation of books that I often recommend to junior developers that are smart but didn't complete a degr

I am sorry. What did you expect?

The Design Patterns book is not on the list because I have not read it yet. Based on what I know of it, I am sure that it deserves to be on the list.

When I say, "self-taught computer scientist" I had in mind someone, much like myself that did not go through college to earn a comp-sci degree but instead learned on the job and solves problems scientifically rather than by brute force. I a

I have to say, after tinkering with Clojure, when I'm typing out a python dict or list I think, "So many damn commas..."

I have that same irrational feeling about the JVM, I'll say this, go ahead and learn Clojure; it only slightly smells like the JVM.
