Agreed. From the post, it seems to me like another (IMO better) alternative to this awkward attr-specific convention and syntax etc would be to create a factory function for dynamic class definition, in a similar vein to namedtuples. This i

On the other hand, going in the other direction (from machine to brain) is actually surprisingly easy. It turns out that, when you take what is possibly the best general-purpose signal and pattern interpretation and recognition engine in th

From an outside perspective with no skin in the game (other than using Python profusely and just generally wanting it to be the "best" possible Python it can be) I wouldn't be so quick to call it obviously unfair. The exact p

For what it's worth, the article's title caption reads > However, Uber’s CEO is said to oppose an acquisition at any price due to antitrust concerns. So pretty clearly, Kalanick agrees.

I honestly don't remember; it was more than 18 months ago. I may have even eventually gotten it working through pinctrl, but I vaguely remember having to do something with device trees and rebooting or something. No, I take that back,

Here's the thing. Chaotic systems with no negative feedback always diverge. If you put a microphone in a room full of speakers, with no one to turn down the volume and nothing to switch off the microphone, the white noise will always b

Hello! The tl;dr is: IoT is a totally new arena for privacy and security, and existing best practices either don't work well for eg. playing with a Raspberry Pi, or require trusting companies like Facebook with access to your baby moni

I think it's important to point out that not only did Twilio choose a great problem to address, it was (critically) also one that a large audience already understands is very difficult. There are plenty of equivalently "valuable&q

It certainly could, as it has full knowledge of what's connected. That's quite a ways down the road though; for now we're focusing on Razpi <-> computer. Mobile deployment is much more complicated (also a much larger ma

If they were using the protocol, they have two options: 1. Roll their own implementation (highly discouraged). Increase their development burden. Introduce higher maintenance burden. Slightly more flexibility for app deployment. And run the

In my case you actually do know that the vendor is using the protocol. You would have to be running the protocol on (in this example) your iPhone in order to talk to it. Everything is client-side verified and enforced by encryption. You wou

Definitely. First a disclaimer: I've held off on creating a dedicated post for this until the code is stable (as in not crashing) enough for other people to play with the demo. That will hopefully happen tomorrow, or possibly Friday. A

Would you feel comfortable with end-to-end encryption via an open, documented, free protocol? This is literally my raison d'être as a company, so I'd be interested to hear your comfort level. What I've got is a platform that

I think you're mistaking value to redditors with value to reddit. Clearly the benefit to the average redditor is minimal at best. But considering imgur is creating its own communities at this point, and linkjacking direct images to poi

Keep in mind that 5XX error codes are for server errors and 4XX codes are for client errors. Returning 429 would imply "too many connections (from your computer)", not total for the service. Choosing to return a 503 for over-taxed

Yeah, my biggest complaint personally is that combining multithreading and async is a massive pain in the ass. Now, realistically, you aren't usually going to want to do that, except if you have multiple event loops, or are bridging be

First off, awesome to see more benchmarks (even if it's just personal experimentation) for synchronous vs asyncio performance. I think the real argument for asyncio right now is that it makes it very easy for you to write extremely e

Hi Sam. Two questions: 1. I'm a little in the dark about what happens to applications that have already been seen (because they were submitted early) that are then edited pre-deadline. I've been putting off submission because I&#x
