pre-alpha, bummer. Over the years I've had quite a few friends and family ask me to arrange hosting of their wordpress sites. Generally I refuse because wordpress has a long history of security problems. An alternate interpreter wit

Can I run WordPress on it today?

There are pure python alternative implementations of these protocols and of mysql, anything pure python works well, but of course there are modest CPU costs. Then there are workarounds if you must use C libraries with blocking IO, like usi

What libraries have you run into trouble with?
515.
by jacob019 8y ago
Never, it's fantastic. The monkey patching just adds context switching in all the right places, like IO and sleep. I've been using it for the better part of a decade and it always just works. A few C libraries are not compatibl

This is why I love gevent. Synchronous code becomes asynchronous automatically and it's rarely necessary to reason about the asynchronicity.

If I want something to run fast I do all of the testing on ancient hardware or artificially constrained VMs.

ES6 imports works well. I've been working on a project that uses them extensively and it's really improved the organization and structure.

Love it or hate it ES6 is here to stay. I for one love it.

I was always a JS hater. I mostly work with python these days, but JS is required for UI development. Since I am targeting internal apps where we control the browser, I get to use the latest ES6 features without polyfills. I have to say

What a sad perspective.

Amazing that a private entity in a tiny country can scrape up the resources to go to the freaking moon on mission of inspiration. Can't wait to see them land it.

A new TSA global entry program lets you pass the line with subcutaneous RFID tags. Then you're kidnapped while on vacation and the tag is removed.

Old compatibility levels can be deprecated at some point, this would qualify.
527.
by jacob019 8y ago
There's no need to break the old stuff. Applications can signal compatibility level so that new applications need not support legacy cruft.

In my experience 10% of the customers cause 90% of the trouble, and they're usually the cheapest ones.

Staggering numbers of dead, a major policy failure.

I cringe every time I read serverless, what exactly is that supposed to convey? That the code is so ephemeral that it doesn't even exist, or does the code execute on a higher plane of existence without the need for lowly hardware and

China is a massive consumer of dried milk powder. I wonder if the trump tariffs have anything to do with the changing demand for US milk.

Me too. People constantly recognize me and I haven't a clue who they are. I think I'm just a jerk and don't bother to remember people. So frustrating.

This probably doesn't belong on HN, but it sure is outrageous. Our system is so messed up, we need federal guidelines and protections for prisoners.

Yes. Microservice is only micro by context.

by jacob019 8y ago
I've been seeing more and more backlash against micro-service architecture recently. Seems silly to me. Developers should match the architecture to th problem and adapt as needed rather than sticking to an ideological pattern.

Ah the old softmod, with the 007 game as I recall. Made a great party trick.

Not sure what you mean. A basic HTTP webserver can be implemented in a couple dozen lines of code using only sockets in most languages. Something more complex requires more code, which is often packed into a "framework", it doesn

LTE-U would allow for LTE in unlicensed spectrum. Do any current devices support these bands? I would very much enjoy serving unlicensed LTE around my home. I wonder how much effort it would take to provide VoLTE over a SIP backend.
