The title is off I agree, it's not like Celery fixes cpython's problematic data structures. I don't think it was a bad article, though.

Perhaps this could have been made cleaner by relying on the package manager for download counts only, and then demonstrating the code execution scenario on research machines only. If you wanted to avoid actually downloading anything to the

Nice recipe. I don't find ELK particularly daunting to set up in docker containers, but it's nice to see a working config laid out like this. In our case we used haproxy and terminated ssl there also, but hginx works great in the

For what it's worth Olark replied to my resume submission stating that it would take a few weeks to get back to me, and they responded within that time frame, which is more than I can say for many other organizations. I'm currentl

Thank you.

That was my take as well. I found myself nodding along but expecting him to transition at some point to revealing the quiet crisis in detail. Ultimately just a problem with the structure of the piece, and not the content.

That's the approach I take. I tell them that I will think of their equity like a bonus, and I will be happy to work hard in anticipation of getting something from it, but probably will not trade real dollars in return.

You consider that a wall?

I don't understand the connection. What do chatbots have to do with scrapers? Are you saying that the chatbots will need to use scrapers to harvest the information they present to users? Might be true in some cases, I guess.

Interesting that the author mentions disclosing financial performance data but not capital structure. Many startups attempt to induce employees to trade salary (or time) for equity, without making it easy or even possible to understand the

I always like to read stories of other teams' debugging adventures. One thing that occurred to me as I got toward the end of OPs (ongoing) narrative was that perhaps its time to fall back and consider other ways of setting up the data

I was one of those guys in 1990... heck I was one of those guys in 1983. But I don't really romanticize it. I still have three shelves full of books, including some classics like the 3-vol. Knuth, Abrash's Zen books, the ARM of co

Awesome guys, that helps a lot. Thanks for the info and links.

Can someone clarify how this compares to LXD, released by Canonical in Ubuntu 16.04? A lot of the keywords and concepts seem similar.

Pretty cool way to visualize the route. Would like more info thrown in along the way.

You could say that about most Microsoft APIs/platforms over the years. The key difference for me is that when it was Win16 -> Win32 and then COM/DCOM -> MFC -> ATL -> .NET -> etc. there weren't really many viab

This article is dead on from my perspective. I was one of those long-time Windows devs, started on the Win16 API, and I had invested quite a bit of time and effort into WPF and Silverlight because I thought it was cool. I remember that exac

Nothing at all is wrong with it. I was simply conjecturing that perhaps some people who don't wake up hungry are eating within that period. I can see where any sort of regular daily fasting could span a similar period of time.

This isn't the thread for that debate, so I'll refrain from a specific response, other than to note that python2 has clearly not been replaced by python3, whatever the language's maintainers wish had happened.

I commented on this blog post when it first came out. I think the only point that really holds up is the documentation complaint, which can be made about pretty much any of the fast-moving cloud platforms. AWS is certainly no worse, and in

I don't know why you would say that. I'm sure it would be great to support Python 3, but saying that Python 2 is optional is a little strange.

I'd be interested to know whether the author eats in the evening. I don't think he mentioned one way or another. I don't eat anything after a light dinner and I usually wake up very hungry. I'm not saying one way is bett

I don't know if you're young, obviously, but this is a young, or at least unattached, person's point of view. I taught myself to program in the 80's when I was in my early 20's. In my later 20's and through my

You'd just run the flask app under the profiler and send requests as you normally would, right? Am I missing something?
