   Unrelated, but hopefully a good place to stick this: What was that Mac 10.7-only, command-line but standalone database tool, designed for high-level analysis of data via queries?

   I've looked into it, but went with Python instead, since it allows easier access to get through proprietary single-sign-on stuff that sits in the way of getting data. Plus I don't need to worry about when I need to drop down to screen scrap

   Nope. The relevant info is literally the first warning callout on the Python guide: http://docs.dotcloud.com/services/python/ Thanks again for taking the time to set me straight on this.

   Thanks for the response! I had to facepalm at the WSGI config, I had been setting it within the app itself: it returned a 500 otherwise, which makes sense now. Consider my one issue moot! Next time I'll read the docs better before complaini

   I've had a bunch of weirdness deploying a Flask app to the service. Defining requirements in a yml is nice for auto-install, but the scripts tend to break for me worse than "hand installing" via pip. The reason I'm moving the app to a micro

   This isn't to say that Apple's implementations were that great, though. I know a few IT techs happy to see something other than the buggy install of Samba for CIFS. Personally, Apple's exclusion of the "nounix" option in mount_smbfs was a H

   Cultural, depending on your desktop platform. .NET doesn't have an official IDE on any platform than Windows—if you run Linux or Mac, it's too fucking bad. A lot of people who like *nix are precluded from it, without some sort of major work

   Indeed. CSR has a nice-sounding SoC for this, but their dev program sucks for hackers. $10k for a seat? Blegh. TI is a bit more friendly in this regard, see video in below link. I'm interested to see if anyone could potentially implement a

    The exact same in Minneapolis. I'm definitely not learning Python for a job—it's strictly for fun side projects, which you really don't get in either .NET or Java. The main reason I'd avoid those languages would be to avoid mercenary progra

    The “bridges” mentioned are potentially one of the most interesting developments of the next few years. We’ve seen a huge, huge explosion of Arduino projects, but soon enough it’ll be commoditized and simplified for the layperson as in the

    As someone currently doing a "pilot" of a Mac in a highly corporate environment, I can say it's not exactly just IT. There's realms and realms of support groups that get to sign off on "authorized" network equipment, and when you bypass the

    A good guide for BSD users is here: http://arduino.cc/playground/OpenBSD/CLI Most of the non-IDE toolchains I've encountered were horrific monsters, including several TextMate bundles. I wonder how worthwhile it would be to create a simpl

    I’m extremely surprised that there hasn’t been any mid-range work done on this for laptops with either USB 3.0 or Thunderbolt. I know from personal and work experience that a dual-out box that can push the GUI around better than the DualHea

    Idiot implementation. If you think about it, there shouldn’t be that much of a difference in markup between mobile and desktop, so serve the same shit, and only change the presentation. I think a lot of engineering groups try to over-compli

    I’ve found the exact opposite. BSoup will choke on invalid tags in the DOM, such as: <div id=“content”><content>…</content></div> If I try to return the innerHTML of #content, I get '<div id=“content”&#62

    Fewer ports are better with HIPAA. You don't want somebody sneaking out data on a card. You don't want doctors with all their personal crap on the tablet, so what does it matter if there's 2x the storage on a Transformer? Do you put 2-3x ti

    It's harder to provision an Android device to HIPAA requirements. iPads are also cheaper.

    We shouldn't confuse causation with correlation, but the slowing of "big" ideas is roughly correlated with the outer limit of the patent age. 1900 seems archaic, but 1960 still seems relevant (Minus those pesky, non-consumption-friendly soc

    You get that everywhere in media buys, and yes, a large segment of people interacting on the web—the ones who don’t know code—view the domain name as a media buy. Remember color.com?

    I’m more interested in Python for it’s real-time capabilities. With Python running statistics, I can do more user-facing things with the data, whereas R can do more statistical things with the data. Plus, an arduino-based sensor array i

    That’s why I think dramatic irony fits the best. The mob here has pitchforks and torches, and he thinks we’re just neat. I agree with the guy’s opinions, but he’s got to have some flame-retardant skin.
