From Instagram's medium post > Instagram currently features the world’s largest deployment of the Django web framework I think it is fair to assume that they use Django pretty heavily from that.

Some of the most prolific Django developers work at Eventbrite. I can't say how much, if any, of their contributions to the Django ecosystem are on Eventbrite's dime, though.

Instagram is a great story for Django, it's the best argument to bring against doubters of Django's scalability. But I wonder how much Instagram contributes to Django itself. I follow Django's development relatively closely,

I'm afraid that train has left the station (sorry for the pun). All the construction infrastructure is gone, and in half a year, there will be hundreds of trains thundering through the tunnel every day. The Porta Alpina was economicall

Make sure to open it on your mobile or tablet. You can pan around physically with your device, which makes it quite immersive (more so if you have a VR device, of course).

I heard numbers of 45 minutes less for Zurich-Milan. Maybe your number already includes the Ceneri Base Tunnel[1], to be opened in 2020? [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceneri_Base_Tunnel

There's a great 360° video on Youtube that shows both the tunnel as well as the Gotthard massif through which the tunnel leads. It's in German, but the visuals are impressive on their own. https://www.youtube.com/w

As somebody who doesn't use Spotify, I wonder how open the Core will be, e.g. for other audio providers like PocketCast. If I could just tell it to play the latest podcasts from my PocketCast, this would be the perfect fitness tracker

Rereading my comment, it can easily be misunderstood. Sorry about that. The 25% average speedup they cite is indeed relative to CPython. Thanks for clarifying!

Title should say 2013. These days, PyPy is way past 25% average speedup with respect to CPython. /edit to be fair, the project README points out the difference in goals and performance between Falcon and PyPy quite nicely: https:&#x2F
