The pyres web interface (where you can view job status) is built using itty. edit: looks like they're using flask now, I don't see itty being used anywhere. They also split the web interface (resweb) into a separate project, so pyres doesn'

Great! I hope more companies start using Gittip. All companies built on FOSS should think of tithing this way.

Great article, I especially like the "full circle" part. You should mention that the numbers you've created in the end are the Church numerals.

Following the Captnduck tutorials [1] and using the Lazy Newb pack [2] got me pretty far. [1]: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHVZtRdtPdo [2]: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=59026.0

I will be the first to ask: why did Alex / the pypy devs start this project? I thought the three community funded ideas were great (STM, Python 3, and Numpy). What prompted this new project? Is it meant to attract new developers to pypy as

I'll tell you why he was special to me, even though I have no personal relationship to him. I am only a year older than him, also a python user, also interested in the same things he was interested in. I followed his progress, read his essa

That may be the rule, but it seems perverse to delete useful comments, which add to the conversation, while adding meme pics, which add absolutely nothing useful to the conversation. P.S.: Meme pictures originated on discussion forums.

I think stimulants and amphetamines definitely have an effect on programming. Maybe it affects quantity more than quality, but Paul Erdos, one of the most prolific mathematician ever, comes to mind: His colleague Alfréd Rényi said, "a m

I looked for a service like that a year or so ago and found this: https://click2mail.com/email-to-mail At the time their signup process was broken so I couldn't test it out, but the idea is very similar to what you described. You send an

Did you learn python after you learned ruby or javascript? I have the exact same complaint about ruby not fitting in my head, and I think it's because I learned python first.

First off, I really like your posts and books. I learned advice / AOP at a previous job and really enjoy using it and applying it to new things. Your writing on the subject is great! The only thing python does not like is multi-line lambdas

Can you call yourself a developer then? :)

That's probably true, it doesn't have all those features. I guess you'll have to wait around for someone to add them :) edit: stripe's admin interface does some of what you're asking for (recurring subscriptions), sign up and check it out i

How do they handle security? If the software they're using to virtualize these instances is exploitable, then you could break into the host machine and do whatever you like with it.

It uses stripe, so to switch from a single purchase to a recurring payment you basically need to change one line of code: https://github.com/2tablespoons/Thylacine/blob/master/app/mo... Just change "Charge" to "Customer" and give it a pla

Neat. I built something similar, it's a Flask blueprint for doing stripe charges/subscriptions: https://bitbucket.org/lost_theory/flask-stripe-blueprint It's meant to be integrated into an existing flask application (just override & i

I too like the awesome bar in Firefox much better than Chrome's omnibox (mainly that it can match strings inside the URL). The FauxBar extension for Chrome is a pretty good replacement: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hibkhcnpkak

SQLite should absolutely be used in production, where it makes sense. The one area where sqlite has a big disadvantage is concurrent writes. If you have read-only data, cached data, etc. then sqlite can happily be used in a high traffic p

Silicon Valley is a scene and Macs are part of that scene. If you want to fit in, use a MacBook Pro. If you don't care about fitting in, use whatever you like the best.

I have to second this. I used to feel guilty about relaxing in the evening after work. Now, I make a conscious decision to relax in the evening, go to bed slightly earlier, and wake up in the morning to work on my side projects.
