there was a python implementation of something like this in tornado (s3server and s3client), though now I don't see it. Anyone follow that project and know what happened to it?

figuring out how to sign a FF extension properly without an https cert was one of the most difficult things i've accomplished in my programming career. :(

Let me guess, you're the guy who makes sure there's a "Senior" in his title and you use django because the docs are so great. I'm sorry you work with incompetent people. Sounds like you're in a cubicle farm somewhere. While you're in a me

Well here's a fuck you back from a dev: my time is finite and everyone wants a piece of it; If I can save an hour a day by never having to think about my database? If I can shave a week or two of labor off a project? It's really easy to w

what do you think of redis? I feel the same way about Mongo for the most part, but have been considering switching.

because unicode is tedious, and wtf needs to use shit like ◎ܫ◎ as a variable name?

I think that right now though, conventional "wisdom" says to use an ORM for every web app. I like to see people push back on that; let's at least get to a state where we can consider dropping it from a project.

To be fair, for every startup you can namedrop who isn't in CA/SF/SV, I think someone can probably name two who are.

I think you're at the phase where you need practice and experience mostly. Either get a job on a team that's cranking out projects, or go freelance and ship a few dozen sites. You'll start to get some insight into the bigger problems arou

I'm a professional python webapp guy and I like MongoDB better for the same reason. :) You might find tornado nice! Some advice on turning this into a career: learning CSS and HTML is very useful, but there's (relatively) lots of jobs whe

I'd downvote if I could. If you have to tap a guy on the shoulder to tell him is code is broken, you're not working with a professional. Distributed teams are glorious when you weed out the jackasses. And in the meantime, remote guys are

you set a trace point inside baz, investigate with the REPL, and fix your code.

hrm. That's an interesting stance, and I don't know!

wait.. what? are you scanning stdout with your tests?

Someday, you'll get to work in a language that has a good REPL, and you'll never want to go back to printing. :)

Well.. apparently people are using "print" still, but fwiw, most professionals I know (including myself) who use vim also use screen, which lets you keep your commandline utils for debugging, etc, a keystroke or two away.

In most states, afaik, unpaid interns are not allowed to be working on things that provide income to the company.

Yes, complex queries require a programmer who understands map/reduce. The degree of confidence corresponds pretty directly with the programmer's competence. Is writing a function in javascript more or less difficult than writing a complex

pfft, it's funny, pokes fun at the "reddit is invading" meme, and answers his question by showing _why_ people don't put their email addresses in an easily scrapeable / semi-public forum. In 3 words! Screw you, downvoters!

I bought mine last fall for $900, and I guess I'm not up on the latest MacBook pricing. Sincerest apologies.

Dell made a laptop with similar specs called the 'Adamo' for a while. It's small, light and sexy, costs about half as much as an MBA, and Ubuntu worked out of the box. A good alternative if you'd like to avoid the Apple flavored kool-aid.

I think the banks could make plenty of money without forcing me to deal with paper checks. My point is, there are lots of other reasons to use bitcoin.

Don't you get annoyed at how much money bankers make just because they control the infrastructure of transferring account balances around? I like it because I think it's a clever solution to rampant government/institutional corruption..

You're saying that you are a "tech accelerator" who values social networking more highly than technical skills. I'm just kind of baffled by the implications of that.

With all due respect, consider that I am a tech guy with business sense, trying to get seed level funding solo in the Midwest. LinkedIn represents all the bullshit I wish I could skip in the startup scene. LinkedIn is all the corporate pol
