We're really looking forward to this. We'll still use pgbouncer, but we think we may see a slight boost.

We've got a more complex application (Pathwright) running Django, and we're currently going much more heavy client side. Nothing about Django keeps you from doing this, and there are some excellent third party apps that actually m

Due to the degree that each of the major mobile players "cross-pollinates" or "copies" these days, why are we even still talking about who is copying who? Who cares? Looking at these new iOS demos, I see a lot of things

For any who have already been set up on this service (assuming anyone has), what are you doing with your Pi and how have you found the connectivity to be? I know you can't expect much for "free", but I am definitely curious.

Do you expect them to stop innovating just to avoid stepping on someone else? This development actually makes a lot of sense for Hangouts, and I'm glad they did it. There is still room for others, especially in the spheres where using

If you're using Python and/or Django already and don't need to mix with other languages, Celery is pretty easy to work with, has excellent documentation, and is well-maintained. With that said, while there is no boundary to p

The workers have to poll Postgres repeatedly at intervals, whereas a worker using a message broker (like RabbitMQ) connects and just waits for something to get tossed its way. Having your task broker separate from your database can save a l

No knock to any contributors on here, but I'm not seeing why RQ is better. Documentation looks incomplete, seems to depend on Redis, the boilerplate doesn't appear to be any less complicated. Is there something I'm missing th

Yeah. I like and use Chrome, but Firefox is back to being pretty good as well. If Google were to do something so drastic as yanking H.264 support from Chrome, I would probably re-evaluate my choice. But that's the great thing here: Thi

Was going to reply to arkitaip, but you nailed it on the head. I have really enjoyed working with Go, but the much more limited ecosystem does mean rolling up your sleeves and doing it yourself more often. So I agree, I don't think you

Compiled, concurrency/parallelism-focused language is more performant than a dynamically typed, interpreted language in a micro benchmark. News at 11. While it'd be great to get to the point where you need to worry a lot about p

I guess I haven't ran into this. I've been able to re-use some of my components through different incarnations of this desktop, and it's saved me a ton of money. For example, I don't need to upgrade my entire desktop to

It's OK if you didn't want to, but you can build something cheaper and even more quiet than this new Mac Pro yourself. There are some excellent cases and cooling systems, and you can choose your components with your needs in mind.

Unless I'm misunderstanding something, you could already blow this thing away at its price point by building your own. It wouldn't be as pretty looking, but you could do better (if specs are the primary concern).

You could build something much more powerful for cheaper, and still be able to upgrade/change out individual internal components. I've bumped the RAM capacity/speed twice since I built this machine three years ago. Upgraded t

I think leaking some of this stuff is one of the most patriotic things you can do, given the subject matter and the government overreach it was meant to expose. In fact, I wish this happened more often. The population as a whole shows a lot

They are of good quality, but let's keep in mind that Hetzner tends to be solidly on the budget side. I am a Hetzner customer, and it stinks that this happened, but let's consider: I don't expect Bugatti quality when I'm paying for a Chevy

It's not really about "forgetting". In many cases, a simple desktop app won't cut it. Unless it also has a mobile app that syncs what I've read with the desktop app, it's sub-par to Google Reader for me personally. This is actually the most

I'm not sure I'm asking this question correctly, but what kind of performance hit do I take by using a Docker container within an EC2 instance instead of just running straight on the EC2 instance's userspace? I'm not looking for any kind of

That makes more sense. That would be pretty neat.

I'm not too sure, for my purposes. I was trying to think of some ways we could use this, but I'm just not seeing it. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding, though. Can anyone provide some neat examples for cases in the context of web applications? T

yeah, I love reading on my Kindle. It's much cheaper, the battery lasts forever, I can buy stuff off of Whispernet without paying a monthly fee, it's easier on my eyes, and I can read it in bright sunlight. Anecdotal on both accounts...

The gevent/eventlet part of this has me pretty excited. We needed this in order to do some experimenting with PyPy without investing a good deal of time on a test conversion. I'm also interested to see if cffi is as good as I've heard it is

Yeah, for certain things your abstractions can either add a good bit of overhead or increase the amount of code you need to maintain. No real point unless your product really needs to run in a mixed environment in prod.
