Yes, a service like BitPay will allow you to think entirely in USD; a BTC price determined dynamically for the customer and an exchange price locked in for your bank account.

Wonderful. This reads like an evolution of CurveCP, with the goals of real acceptance and downstream flexibility.

Interesting that you say that. Coinbase is verifiably registered with FinCEN, but not the states, as far as I can see. (Square, mentioned in the article, actually is registered in California.) http://www.fincen.gov/financi

I'll mention solving a lateral problem. We liked crond fine, but wanted a minimal impact way to make crons to survive machine stalls, they needed to consistently run somewhere . So a small bit of Python is enough to perform ephemeral lead

Connection-per-request is battle-tested. Other scenarios, what we're discussing, are not.

Right, the problem is all the failure modes. You want a battle-tested library that hands you a valid connection, that will work to the 99th percentile. Lots of edge cases.

Yes, SQLAlchemy is excellent in this respect, but without getting into a Django ORM vs SQLAlchemy debate, it is the less-preferred option among Django developers.

Can anyone recommend a Django connection pool for MySQL that -- and this is the important part -- closes local pool connections to the database on a routine basis. Reason: load balancers and machine maintenance. In per-connection mode (i.e

Great start. You probably have too little content -- consensus says 300 - 1,000 words.

Be careful of your NUMA boundaries. 20-30% is exactly the cross-bank access cost.

If you can stomach month-long commits, many shops will give you bootp/dhcp visibility in your private vlan, so you can burn/update machines however you like. I managed 140 systems at Softlayer with ~500 lines of provisioning script.

Unlike the above post, this fellow actually did some broad cipher testing ( http://zombe.es/post/4078724716/openssl-cipher-selection ), particularly around AESNI instructions in recent Intel chips. With AESNI, use AES-128, AES-256, RC4-SHA,

Fun, a number of blog plugins have picked up the hashcash ideas, e.g. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-hashcash/ . Add 100ms-of-2011-avg-cpu computation and tie it to the submit button (avoiding any complications interleaving with us

Thomas, it's your point I'd like to hear from more hackers. I went through a similar period years ago, slowly discovering that I hated programming, and certainly had no idea it was ubiquitous. I had just started a new company and it was the

In any case, folks should be continuously profiling their networks integrated into monitoring/alerts. I find many firewalls that are doing different things than my clients expect they are -- or have just been left to diverge from reality i

For those who make the effort, configuration management and monitoring systems that continuously profile one's own network are another way to deal with a growing, unfirewalled cluster. And they avoid having to learn yet another vendor's

Worse than nothing to do is the pile of misconfigured and abandoned IPv6 endpoints/experiments. Trying to get work done with an IPv6-before-IPv4 DNS preference makes the internet _work less well_, for the time being. (This is 6mos of playi
