I definitely understand the privacy concerns, and myself use PayPal for a lot of things. However, I think the need for it depends a lot on your audience, and the nature and reputation of your site. We are fortunate enough (being new and in

Perhaps "redirect" wasn't the best word to use. WePay does interrupt the flow of your site with their own system, however: "The iframe checkout lets you embed an iframe on your own site that will contain the WePay checkout system." With Str

Object C is a language that isn't specific to iOS development, too.

It's very likely that the memcached instances that they found are companies that were using IP blocks in security groups instead of other security group IDs. This is their own fault.

Then don't share articles. Read them and be happy, like many do.

Looks cool, but are there any real central docs to look through (aside from that README)?

Bit of a shameless plug, but we wrote our own EC2 + ffmpeg encoder, since we didn't want to pay out the ears for encoding: http://media-nommer.readthedocs.org/ Open source (BSD), beta'ish, but very much functional. Save some money! Pull r

This is great news. There are so many great packages that depend on NumPy support.

Because Arch had to make some changes due to assumptions on their end, w.r.t kernel naming scheme. This is part of the breakage that the article mentions.

nginx + gunicorn + pgbouncer + postgres, S3/CloudFront for -all- media. The gunicorn app server sit behind one of Amazon's Elastic Load Balancers, but could just as easily be HAProxy.

We've had a good deal of success running on AWS, but YMMV. Your budget and your design are going to determine how much you like AWS during their technical difficulties. The hiccups are easy to forgive, given how it's such an otherwise nice

Big corporations are a lot more likely to do this. Smaller companies and startups (like where I am right now) are much more likely to just open source stuff that isn't core business logic.

I think "ahead" is usually quantified by numbers out in the wild. We, as consumers, don't care about their profits, but we do watch things that are trendy and dominant (which Android is now).

But why even explain the arguments to others that may be religious (or vice-versa for religious people to atheists)? If it's what you believe, why not just leave it at that and keep it to yourself? Of course, when I say this, I direct it at

Arch Linux. They have new KDE packaged very quickly, it's pretty vanilla. There is some more leg work to get set up right after installing than an Ubuntu or Debian.

I'm always surprised at the obsession that many atheists have with dumping on religion. Atheism in itself has taken on the characteristics of the very religions they "preach" against all too often. Not to say there aren't quiet, private ath

This whole comment is rife with ignorance. > Deploying a serious, hardened service on top of Django is an order of magnitude more complicated than something like Rails. That's funny. How so? I just start gunicorn, point nginx at it, and

Why would I want to be forced to use South? There are other migration methods that approach the problem different ways, or perhaps I want to write my own? Third part != Lower quality. In this case, it means being able to make incremental im

Blanket statements like this are foolish. My own college experience had a lot of regurgitation, but whether you make productive use out of your time there is completely within your hands. I was able to do challenging, hands-on research, mak
