Nothing in the json spec requires that numbers are limited to those internally representable in a javascript runtime. With the right tooling, you can encode/decode very accurate numeric values. I'm not familiar with the go libra

More specifically, it's protecting your site from other sites taking advantage of the fact that you're already logged in. For example, in the absence of CSRF, if you're logged into HN, any other site could just embed a form e

Looks interesting, but I'm already a customer of smugmug, and they're claiming they're launching something innovative at the end of the month. That said, I wouldn't be adverse to jumping ship if this offering ends up be

Update the supervisor config file and reread/update? Not as nice as doing it from the library though.

Circus is still pretty new and rough around the edges, so I haven't totally moved away from supervisord yet. My foray there is mostly exploratory, trying to get used to it and its quirks before really diving into a comparison between t

I've been using supervisord for most everything (doesn't hurt that I'm primarily a python guy), but I'm slowly testing out Mozilla's circus ( https://github.com/mozilla-services/circus ) and it&#

I've used Rackspace cloud both when it used to be called Slicehost and after the full transition to the Rackspace brand. In my experience past and present, you get a better deal dollar for dollar with Linode (better disk, network, and

Bit.ly is also useful in that you can use the same link across the web and have analytics all in one place. Otherwise you'd need to check medium to track links you posted there, and some other site for links from there etc.

The DRM is meant to prevent you from (easily) capturing the stream in order to make copies and give to all your friends who haven't paid and aren't logged in.

I accept Netflix and Steam over cable/movie theaters/gamestop the same way I accept nuclear power (over burning fossil fuels). They are really the only solutions that have any non-zero chance of succeeding in our present day econ

My argument is trying to judge Pandora in the same way as radio, in that the number of plays as counted on Pandora reaches far less people than the number of plays as counted on radio. What the artist wants is to be paid for every person

That's not an analogous situation. When you buy a Honda Fit, you selected it specifically at the dealership (down to choosing the color and possibly extra add-ons like GPS, smart-key, etc), agreed on a sum of money to exchange and the

If you follow the links he provides they have actual market data on how many listeners any given radio station has, so his numbers have that behind it. Also, it's not that 1% of people listen to a popular radio station 24 hours a day,

You definitely can use celery with sqlite via the sqlalchemy backend, but since rdbms' aren't very good task queues there are drawbacks: see http://docs.celeryproject.org/en/latest/getting-started/br

Considering you have to go through the app store approval process every time you push an update out (so sitting in queue for a week even for bug fixes), building for web or android first gives you much more agility.

There are a ton of large web apps done in python. Youtube, disqus, bitbucket, The Onion, some mozilla properties, instagram are the examples that come to my mind. A simple google search would probably result in surfacing many more - see

While I don't love that Steam has DRM, I don't hate their version of it either. What MS says they'll do (and what they'll probably end up doing) is nowhere close to what Valve has done. Valve has a history of listening

Someone could write a horde of snapchat bots that'll spam you when you follow them (and a local client to chatter back), thus pushing your real "bestfriends" off the top list.

First of all, everything on FB is as public as the poster decides to make it. If you put in a tiny amount of effort, you can separate your friends into groups and have your posts by default only visible by a selected group of friends. (Fun

I agree with this and the OP - but in my case Facebook has brought me closer to the friends I see every weekend. I mean, not only in the group messaging and event planning in preparation for our weekly gatherings, but it also improves our

One major thing that bitbucket does better: giving you information about a commit. It has side-by-side diffs, and while you're looking at a diff, you can expand the context easier. See a few lines have been modified but can't tell what me

Being an active user of both git and hg, I also can't think of any features I make extensive use of in git (rebase, feature branches, etc) that I can't get with hg. My workflows in both are pretty much the same, just a saner interface on t

Following the thread of building upon sqlite, Yelp (along with the fabulous mrjob library) also open-sourced sqlite3dbm ( http://pythonhosted.org/sqlite3dbm/ ), which is a document store on top of sqlite. Python only (meant to give random-

The URLs are being pinged by computers within Microsoft, so even if the filtering was only occurring on the client side (which I doubt) it still makes its way back to MS servers.

Does guestrepo support non-hg guestrepos (as subrepos does)? My beef with git submodules is it only allows git.

Could you elaborate on what specific benefits using Matroska would have? One downside I can think of is that there are no programming environments (that I can think of) that ship a Matroska parser, whereas sqlite readers/writers are found
