To include your outgoing messages in threads, just set up a hook that adds an Fcc: +inbox header. I used to copy all outgoing messages to a separate +sent folder, but that didn't turn out to be very useful.

Instead of worrying about migrating user's coroutines across upgrades you just did the "Erlang trick" and moved them over to the new deployments. I'd like to hear how this works in detail. Suppose a user is exercising a multi-request hand

I'm really excited about async programming in what Zed dubs the "natural style": using coroutines to suspend and resume processing at points where input is needed. Can this eliminate the callback hell that plagues the explicitly async frame

Hey, at least he published his benchmark code on github, where experts in either system are free to fork and improve them. That's already better than most of the benchmark comparisons I see. He really should include his mongo and pg config

One of the direct consequences for instance is that the first WSGI request object that starts consuming for data is the one that ends up being the only one that can have it. Protocols like HTTP that lack length-prefixing of messages have

Look at "git-clean." If I were using git-based deploys with Python code, I'd definitely run that after checkout.

So satellite is responsible for these coverage numbers? I don't buy it. In the report, satellite connections account for a mere 0.65% of all high-speed lines. I realize that's not the same thing as coverage of zip codes. Unfortunately the r

No idea what you're getting at. Are monopolistic internet providers about to slam us all with 48 hour round trip times? Unless we let the FCC (which doesn't have a clue about what it's regulating, according to you) enforce net neutrality?

From the report: "The terms “high-speed connections” and “broadband connections” are synonyms in this report" and defines them as 200kbps+. We could let this devolve into a semantic argument about "broadband," "real broadband," etc. but wha

by sigil 14y ago
Net neutrality may be a solution in the U.S. where monopolies are a bigger issue and where you don't have much choice in regards to your net provider depending on location. Actually, 98% of US zipcodes have 2+ broadband providers, and 88%

Don't use logging.py. It's awful, and the complete opposite of the "do one thing and do it well" philosophy. Consider: $ python >>> import sys >>> x = set(sys.modules.keys()) >>> import

It's just a cache. It can be repopulated. But I see your point, a lower per-domain quota would make more sense.

The fact that there's a limit is not surprising. That the limit is 2GB is a little surprising, but this is across all sites, so ok. That there's no cache ejection when you reach the limit just seems like a bug. Why not use LRU?
