   For me, it's down to having a chronic health condition. Over the long term (say, 2 years +), it's really easy to lost context -- suddenly, the fact you've been to the toilet 10 times a day rather than 11 seems like an improv

   The only reason I still use Django is my deep-seated and abiding love for django-rest-framework. If you're bringing it to Flask, then that's the final bullet.

   > you can pre-render the initial state of your app This, I think, is the killer feature of Node, and the reason I'm slowly transitioning from Python for new web projects. You can reuse your server-side templates client-side

   I'd really like a one-click focus app that: * blocks distracting websites (and arbitrary hosts so I can't SSH to my IRC bouncer!) * starts playing some elected noise (either generated -- pink noise -- or pre-selected rai

   Testing's probably relatively similar to Arch, while I'd liken unstable to the AUR. IME though Arch makes living the rolling-release lifestyle substantially easier -- pinholing certain packages from Unstable can be difficult, whe

   Could Heroku be used for some guidance on this topic? They provide database URLs[1], and have built stuff like dj-database-url[2] to implement them. [1]: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/heroku-postgresql [2]: h

    Part of that, for me at least, was dokku's eternally moving goalposts. It's been under pretty heavy development, and APIs/setup methods changed pretty rapidly. I'd get it going one week, come back in a month, and enoug

    The problem with this approach is that preventative care is the best care. It might cost someone $100/month to take some pills -- or cost the state $10k+ when they have a life-threatening episode of whatever ails them. If the price o

    What kind of performance did you get out of this? I wrote a naive implementation of a FUSE filesystem in Python a while back -- it read the sickbeard DB and built a directory of the last snatched programs. The performance was pretty shock

    Maybe. This is rapidly becoming less true. I had to give a talk at a school the other day ("tech is cool, join the tech industry!") and the bulk of the students didn't have Facebook accounts -- because their parents are on

    Between my work computer, home computer, laptop and phone, I don't have a consistent mail experience. Some open my gmail account, some my other personal account, some my work account -- and some, nothing at all (depending on which bro

    That's largely why I ended up back on Python, after experimenting with Go a bit. I'll try Go out again in a year or two, when others have forged the path a little better.

    This actually isn't a terrible idea. It's been a _long_ time since I've gamed on Linux, but I remember playing Tribes 2 in aeons past, and had to patch a decent chunk of the libraries in my distro to get it working. Using s

    I suffer from UC, and a cavalcade of related illnesses. I honestly believe that tools like this are the future. Particularly for me, I've noticed one of the problems with long term, chronic illness, is that you lose perspective -- an

    I understand that if I was targetted for investigation, nothing within my power can really prevent that. Having worked in an ISP's operations department, I've seen both sides of the coin. I'm under no illusions here :). Sti

    Speaking as a foreigner, I now have very little trust for basically any major US tech corporation. The NSA claims it deals responsibly with data relating to US citizens: I'm not a US citizen. I plan on spending the next few months mov

    This is cool, and I hope there's a lot more in this space. I get the feeling that home automation is going to grow over the next few years. I started something similar a while back with Go -- a simple RESTful interface to various bits

    1. in 0.4.x, no -- but you can have a buffer (say, scratchpad.py) and evaluate the whole buffer. This is a workflow I find more useful than an ipython session (although it's a little lame not having tab-completion and whatnot for insp

    I like Go the language; I dislike Go the platform (currently). What's there is great, but there's not enough of it. It's a great 1.0 release: stable, fast, but sparse. Luckily, Go has a decent head of steam behind it, so wh

    Sure, but the instant you take your hands off the keys (or the mouse), you're groping and flailing wildly to find them again. I didn't think it'd be an issue until I got my Rift, and it turned out it was :). I'm sure th

    While the control schemes can be a little jarring, I've not had a major issue with them. For me, it's games that have you accelerate at an incredible pace -- I tried playing HL2 Episode 1, for instance, and have found that to be
