Mac OS for Python, Go, JavaScript. Primarily for combination of GUI and command line. Large set of tools. VMWare instances for Linux and Windows for final build/testing and deploy.

Yes, json validation against schema. Bigger picture, in future we're looking to do some upstream proxy redirects based on payload. Figured the first step is short-circuiting anyone not sending us valid json. Plus, back ends are writte

nginx is turning into much more than just a load balancer. Projects such as OpenResty (a full CMS built into nginx) and Kong (an API management service), are built right into nginx using Lua. We've done some minor nginx Lua extensions

I also ended up instituting a physical task to track my pill taking. Need to take two pills at breakfast and I was always forgetting if I'd already taken them or not. Now, when I sit down to eat I move the pill bottles to the middle of

Not quite 1:1. Google's very first language rule, "Run pylint..." is missing. Interesting that a tool set for hacking does not focus on basic code review tools.

Glad to see CIA hackers are Dr. Who fans! "Weeping Angel" makes it look like a Samsung television is off while it is really on and recording the room. Precisely what the Weeping Angel does during the Dr's first encounter.

Organic based file storage would give a whole other meaning to the phrase, "my disk died."

Where 'in your code' is a module. Then log the exception and raise a new exception with a module-specific code. requests.exceptions.RequestException is a good example. My modules do catch SystemExit and KeyboardInterrupt before th

Yes, the cost is ridiculous. Delphi used to be an affordable tool. I've been a big fan of Delphi and would still be developing Windows apps in Delphi, except for the excessive pricing. Stopped renewing my licenses two years ago. Delphi

The ability to create dynamic POST monitoring checks is interesting. I have an API that requires a current timestamp be applied to each call plus an HMAC header. Typical uptime monitoring service does not allow that.

Code to learn or play at home. Explore new languages or frameworks. Select one aspect of a language/framework and dig deep down into the internals.

My first thought is that if you have the old password then it was not stored properly in the first place. Need to fix that first. Second thought is that anything that exposes information about the existing password is an information leak ju

+1 on read, read, read. Books and articles as well as text. Pick a topic and explore it in depth. One of my goals for 2017 is to develop a deep understanding of Python asyncio; deep dive into the philosophy and implementation as well as de

The original MacOS was also supposed to copy this revision capability -- imagine, built in document versioning. Versioning was surfaced in the API but apparently never implemented. Had to always be set to 0 (1? long time ago).

I'm fond of pwsafe. Runs on Mac and IOS and shares file in cloud. Like that it is not browser based (though they do have an optional browser plug-in). Excellent for storing hundreds of passwords and security entries. https:/&#x2F

Seen this behavior and thought it was a browser-specific bug since it seemed to appear and disappear based on which browser I was using. Definitely an anti-feature. Most annoying.

Been using Linode for ages. Excellent performance and support. Typically Python (Django, Twisted, aiohttp).

It makes sense within the DoD environment since it is a controlled environment with card readers at every location and pre-installed software on stations. Not scalable to the general public.

Nice Firebird feature is the ability to embed it and run without a server.

Tried go and fairly quickly headed back to Python. Kept running into annoyances that slowed development. Not being able to get a NULL back from a database without a third-party library was the final straw (go 1.5, might have changed since t

My company has been writing a significant portion of their commercial code in Python since version 1.5 and (almost) everything new in Python 3.5.

The only time we're writing new Python 2.7 code is when we're working with Twisted (and they are vigorously migrating to Python 3). All other new code is Python 3.5 based and we're not looking back at all. Using asyncio has b

Long-time Twisted user (and lover) here. Lots of what we build are fairly web-transaction data translators (http to http or http to db APIs). I find that async.io, by avoiding callbacks, allows us to create a more classical-looking code st

Looks like a nice step up from the raw aiohttp I've been writing. Would be interesting to see this wrapped with a forking module. That would provide an nginx-style deployment--select the number of actual threads to run and then run asy

Do all nodes need to be up 100% of the time? If not, how long can a node be down without replicating (perhaps because a server is under maintenance). Does BDR have rules for primary key insertion conflicts? I have a (perhaps odd) situation
