I'm on Linux and I've created a Chrome application shortcut for it (File>Create application shortcuts). At least means I don't accidentally close the tab and can launch it with Kupfer/your launcher of choice.

One of the nice things about starting with Bootstrap for side projects is that it makes it very easy to plug in a theme from WrapBootstrap (or one of the other bootstrap theme sites) later, as the templates all use the Bootstrap CSS names a

This is brilliant news. fig is really handy, and I'm hoping this means we now have an officially blessed way to manage multi container setups.

I worked on a massive codebase once many years ago (C#/.NET) which had been built by a relatively competent outsourced team. Somewhere along the way some consultant on the UK side of the business had insisted that each function could b

It felt a bit harsh realising that the PS4 won't work as a media streamer, so I got myself a Raspberry PI and set up Xbian. I'm so impressed with it! It's much more reliable than my PS3 was, I can control it from my Android p

I'd say it's really not worth it as an individual these days unless you're just doing it for fun. I sold my miner and bought some stock in a mining operation instead. Beware that there's plenty of scams! https:/&#x

I've never actually done a 1.2.x to 1.5.x upgrade in one go, but have done plenty of 1.3 to 1.5s. As far as I recall, for Django itself, the 1.2 to 1.3, and 1.3 to 1.4 upgrades were pretty painless, but then 1.4 to 1.5 will involve som

A great thing about moving to the suburbs (from Zone 2 to Zone 5) which I didn't consider before, was that now in the morning I always get a seat on the train, so I can immediately get my laptop out, and the journey disappears. Definit

I wondered the same a while back when I'd often get old and out of date Google Code results showing up before the actual Github ones which I wanted.

Keep your requirements file checked in, but not the virtualenv. The built env should be seen as disposable, and is both location (ie, path on disk) and platform (for libs which are not pure python) specific . I keep my virtualenvs in ~/.vi

My workflow is to only add south to the project when required. To begin with I use a bash script which trashes and rebuilds the DB each time I wish to. Data which needs to survive this gets dumped to fixtures (using another bash script).

I'm okay with the concept of trading cost/time for convenience, and why that might work for some folks, but even before we get to that argument, my experience with Heroku is that it just isn't reliable enough for client sites. Since review

Yeah, this has been a paid. It's fixed in ICS. Hold home button, see list of running apps, swipe left any you want to close.

I've only been using Heroku as we're working with a client who's managing it themselves for the last month or so. I'm surprised at how much downtime there's been. Is this typical or is it just an unlucky spot?

by kingrolo 14y ago
I've definitely concluded that work hectic is proportional to the number of clients to keep happy, but I imagine this only kicks in above a certain price point.

Yeah, indeed. I'd have thought the provisioning code and tools could be useful (IIRC was there some custom thing which ran pip installs in parallel)?. I'd certainly donate some money and dev time to help encourage an open source version o

Boo. Such a shame. Of all the PaaS offerings Ep.io was the one I was really rooting for. There was a real personal feel to the service - support email repies from Andrew directly, and an always active IRC channel. PaaS sounds like it cou

This is what I found too. Yeah, there's a free tier, but if you want an app runner, database and cache it doesn't fit below $99.
