You can do some pretty cool things with PySerial. For example, we wrote a module to implement the USB I/O 24's (an IO board) API in Python which uses PySerial. There is also a RelayBoard module which sits on top of that one. We wrote this w

I don't think that's it. Back when I was tracking tweets/sec on twitter's streaming API (which is supposed to be proportional to their real traffic) the pattern looked pretty circadian. Take a look: http://www.flickr.com/photos/hoop2w1/420

Hi niekmass, You are absolutely correct. The goal of your investigation does in fact dictate if you should use percentages or absolute numbers. Likewise, 298 million Chinese Internet users is nothing to sneeze at!

I think it's important to consider population, so maybe measure Internet penetration as a percentage of the population. For example: Internet Users in US: 230,630,000 Population of US: 307,006,550 people That's roughly 75% of the US populat

Not having to run software written by the creator of Qmail. Kidding! The first advantage I see is relying on one less externally-maintained service in your software stack. Other than that, I don't have technically sound reason for using one

Hi frognibble, From what I understand, Tornado already starts multiple instances by default; the exact number of which is determined by the number of cores available. Is this still not adequate? Please let me know because I would love to up

I'm glad you enjoyed the article, or at least one of them, haha. You're right, though, there are other options and considerations to be taken when considering the security of a web (or any) app. This is by no means a complete article on web

tldr: What if we could open a bunch of listening sockets and start services in parrallel instead of serializing them the way that sysvinit does? That'd be neat. And faster. Oh yeah, we're doing that.

I'd ask for Sean Parker's MySpace URL, but it's apparent he's never actually used the site if he thinks that they should have "won" over Facebook.

Looks good! I think it's also worth mentioning that Status objects from the standard API are different than Status objects from the search API. Status and user IDs won't necessarily match!
