Postgres has also been heavily endorsed by Django since the early days and used heavily in the Python community. Instagram is a Django site, so the fact that they use Postgres is not too surprising.

We also use beanstalk a ton where I work. We have put multiple billions of jobs through it over the past few years. It's rock solid and one of my favorite pieces of software.

That is pretty horrible UX. Why would they enable it in the web UI, but make you look at a forum post to get the build you need. Also, without linking to it when you get an error on the build?

I upgraded my account, and now the desktop client is not letting me login, saying I need the latest client. I downloaded that and it still gives me the same error..

Most sphinx documentation has a permalink if you hover over the title text. It will show up in this instance to the right.

The web server doesn't matter. Your app is what will be slow.

I think that it's crazy that all of this effort is going into opposing SOPA. It seems that there should be a bill/effort drafted to codify the freedom of the internet, and making DNS blocking illegal.

Agreed on the classical. I really enjoy listening to Bela Fleck, and this NPR video has him (banjo), a bass fiddle player, and another playing with a Tabla. Highly recommended. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=1286522..

Sounds like the eventual outcome of this is a dark/grey net DNS system. I wouldn't be surprised if something like this already existed, but now it will be much more useful and interesting to everyday people.

How common of a practice is it in the Ruby community to run the trunk version? Is it mainly just developers, or is it pretty widely used in production/development environments?

Curious about what you've seen from the EC2 networking gear that's holding you back? Firewall not letting more connections through?

This makes me happy. I think the python community could use a dose of whimsy as well. At work we're having a Free Friday that was pre-planned, but lines up well with Why Day. I think it's time to do something awesomely unorthodox. Just need

Yes. They're both created using Sphinx: http://sphinx.pocoo.org/ Requests is hosted on a site called Read the Docs, which does documentation hosting for Sphinx projects: http://readthedocs.org/ Sphinx has become the defacto documentatio

Would people be interested in a Downloadable HTML version as well? RTD only offers PDF for the moment, but supporting a downloadable HTML zip would be pretty simple to do as well. I note that it's the other part of the OP that isn't support

1.2.4 and all the other versions that are built are also available. They aren't linked from the site, but are get-able with a little URL munging: http://media.readthedocs.org/pdf/django/1.2.4/django.pdf

Is this the same idea as stunnel, but meant to scale to more connections?

I'd be curious to hear more about how this works. Do you just contract out the work/money stuff to a bank?

It feels like a failure of the internet that I didn't know this existed.

Yes! I can't believe the control panel has been able to exist in such a shitty state for a long time. I mostly interact with cloudservers through the API these days, but last I remember, the control panel didn't let you set up wildcard DNS,

When they launched this product, it didn't even cross my mind that it would run afoul of anything. People are doing what they want with the data that they own.

The real point that should be made about Chef and Puppet is that they are so similar, it really doesn't matter which you use. Using one or the other is a much more important choice than which one you use. I don't know the best way to expres
