I wonder if postgres will adopt BSON instead of JSON and implement all the querying -- that would be so much better. p.s.: guys who disagree -- why would you do that? I mean, BSON lets you quickly skip (embedded) documents you're not intere

Because TDD is about test-driven design. And functional tests don't do any impact on design. TDD is about creating code in a way, suitable for unit-testing and creating code step-by-step, keeping each step small and all branches tested. TDD

So, I am just about writing something that would describe my REST API (possibly generate handlers from description) and integrate very nicely with Sphinx for docs, and I can see (on slides) you already have something like that. Am I right?

It's a fantastic tutorial and I hope everyone will start testing their code at least with selenium. But.. it's still not unit-testing (and not TDD) at all. And in things like this, when you break something at the bottom, tons and tons of te

+1, but with HTC Desire. It's small amount of memory, stupid non-fixed bugs in HTC apps that cannot be removed -- I hate those small things. Really.

copy of my comment: I am python developer. I also ask myself these questions, and on current project I use TDD heavily (but still far from 100%). One thing it totally gives me is ability to let other devs in team without need of tons of col

Yeah. And I use ipython's %ed command for that kind of long scripts (emacsclient as editor). Also really great feature.

maybe the problem was that you need to do pip install -U ipython ?

Offtopic: with all these ipython/bpython's only thing that bugs me is need to do pip install -U ipython bpython (which downloads significant portion of bytes) in every virtualenv. I wonder if there's something like "pip install -U ipython -

As a python guy, I don't want python support. That would be one more reason for lazy me to go there and learn/play with some Clojure :)

Yeah. Maybe btrfs (and it's snapshots) is a good option for system-upgrades which end into non-booting situations, but generally I think it is possible with growth of community and QA infrastructure to minimize situations like these (also,

Since this is a notebook-thread, I would be interested in 15" thin and beauty notebooks for linux. They are not ultrabooks because of 15" screen, but I really can't stand <15". Thank you.

(maybe the examples I provided are not ugly enough to show difference, so I'll try to do that here) On non-rest API you can get in trouble mixing actions and resources, so you can get things like {'action': 'list_users'}, {'action': 'rename

by k_bx 15y ago
Yes, ok, you will use WebSockets for your API. But what will it look like to book a ticket on your API? "{'action': 'book', 'from': 'Chicago', 'to': 'Moscow'}"? It's still junk without REST style. The point of REST is operating with resourc

Data structure is "a particular way of storing and organizing data", so I think there's not so big distinction between two. More of that, when we think of data structures, we think of insertion/deletion/searching complexity, also we think a

I disagree at some point. If person doesn't at least knows difference between hash-table and B+tree -- then he cannot build large scale systems. The same for other algorithms. Everything is based on algorithms, and without their understandi
