I think i was an involuntary early adopter of this process, my experience was that the ID upload kept failing and then broke the connection to my linkedin and facebook accounts. Support wasn't able to help, beyond suggesting I make a video.

I tried to make it clear in my original post that I took many pictures of my drivers license, but the submission process kept failing with non-informative error messages. I suspect part of it is that Colorado drivers licenses have some visu

People are happy to let me into their home so far based on my current profile. I've complied with every form of verification requested. I'm happy with all of that. I don't understand how "make a video" is the solution to some technical prob

thanks for sharing, the 11 hour countdown with no hope of fixing it seems to be a standard move. Perhaps getting us to make videos is the real purpose of this fiendish system?

wow, thanks for posting this! Very impressive resource. I was trying to speak more to the general challenge of learning this sort of OO system (I pretty much learned class based views by reading the code already), but I'm happy that you sha

I used mindomo for a while and found it pleasant enough. for some reason I never stick with mind mapping though.

Interesting, I'm guessing the Manhattan market functions differently than PDX. My limited experience is that using the "% responded" and "time to responded" metrics they give for hosts, you can get a feeling for which listings are dead vs.

Anyone else run into this AirBnB problem?

I am fairly fluent with django class based views and tastypie, but i can't help but feel this sort of OO design has a painful learning curve. you basically need to dig through the stack of classes, mixins, etc pretty comprehensively to get

nice summary, sent to a colleague who is starting with django.

Would you then recommend focusing development around some unit tests and eval-ing them as you do work? (that's what I am trying so far, seems ok)

I'm interested in writing a simple rest API using compojure as a learning exercise. Can anyone experienced give an outline of what a reasonable workflow would be to do this using light table? I see that light table can "connect" to my proje

I respond to this with: "No, i'm not frustrated because I know you're going to make things right!" in a cheerful voice. Makes me feel better anyway...

To both the django-rest-framework advocates: thanks for the recommendation, will check it out. I got deep in the guts of tastypie and wasn't happy with the way it handles patching and nested objects in particular. For my kiosk project, as a

I've been doing a ton of work in both recently. In particular, i've been the lead dev on a new product for web and mobile in django, an API layer supporting an iphone app over an existing SQL server database in rails, and a rewrite of the b

I have built real applications in rails and django, and find them to be fairly similar in philosophy and power. What would be an example of something you encountered with django that required getting creative quickly, that rails handles mor

You might be right, but what's your alternative? The current state of affairs wastes a lot of money and ruins lives.

Did you read the article? There are some interesting ideas being explored, really just theory for now. I don't see it as asking you to learn anything unless you want to participate in theorycrafting. To me it seems like a waste of time to b

I tell the majority of people who want to dabble with programming to start with javascript, because the environment setup to make something run is so trivial, and they get positive reinforcement from making something that relates to other s

The facts of this case seem to tilt things in favor of a rewrite more than other other examples I've seen. - reasonable confidence that large portions of the current codebase are truly dead - lack of tests in the existing codebase - a fa

Hints have appeared suggesting that interpolation will be deprecated at some point in python 3, e.g. from this article: http://docs.python.org/dev/py3k/whatsnew/3.0.html#changes-al... PEP 3101: Advanced String Formatting. [...] The plan i

It's not as simple as saying that damage to the tissues of the spine are the cause of back pain. for one research example of many, see: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8747239 Studies like this have shown that herniated discs and other

Heavy deadlifts fixed my back pain and several people I know. Sure, anecdotal evidence, but back pain isn't well understood and there's no real evidence for your position either. all people should stay away from heavy deadlifts until they

I'm interested to hear whether people have found a good way to do this. I've had a couple of jobs where support reported to me. In those cases, our end client had a help desk of some form that was escalating to us, so it wasn't unusual to g

Most projects eventually encounter thorny issues. If your only recourse is to let someone smart go into a deep dive while everyone waits, a lot of bad things can happen. You might not even have anyone with the wits and drive to fix it, or y

Completely irrelevant of course, but iirc COM is a raw binary, smaller than 64k that can be loaded into memory and started by pointing execution at offset 100h. EXE files were larger and had to be rebased by the OS on load. Someone tell me
