This is great news. For those with flask apps, check out flask-socket[0] for websocket support. [0]: https://github.com/kennethreitz/flask-sockets

I wasn't familiar with "synthetic transactions" until I read this post--great write up! Synthetic transactions are kind of like TDD on a live system (really loose analogy). It's a cool concept for keeping microservices c

This was a well-written and entertaining post. It represents the kind of self-reflection every programming community should encourage. Too often are devs zealously supportive of their language of choice without considering thoughtful critiq

Hey! Yeah, I just noticed the author added .Net core (this wasn't apart of the benchmarks when it was first posted to HN). I agree that the assumption is violated. On the topic of native code though, check out the numbers for .Net core

Nope. I just think the comparison should be nuanced. I agree that these data are relevant. Yup.

Go is extremely performant. But then again, isn't the author comparing apples to oranges so to speak? A Go program runs as a native binary, whereas Erlang and Scala/Akka run via their respective VMs. Wouldn't these results be

I've used sci-hub a few times. It's a little buggy and not every article can be accessed, but it works well enough to try when I'm not on campus. $30 to read a single article is ridiculous anyway and presents a barrier to sci

Great work, mholt! He also wrote json-to-go[0]--copy/paste JSON and it generates a matching Go struct. This ends up being extremely useful and saves a lot of time for extensive JSON responses. [0]: https://mholt.github.io&#x

Thanks for the data. I guess rails and node are "hotter," but I'm still not convinced because it appears that stackshare relies on self report (which we all know is pretty fallible). Further, selection bias could be at play i

>> "...a solid, stable, secure and powerful web application framework..." I think this quote sums up Django very well. I would guess that a large chunk of externally facing and internally facing web apps use django (e.g., ap

You shouldn't feel like an "old fart" using Django or Flask. I think both are awesome, relevant, and will stick around into the future. One of the great things about being a programmer is that we know how to program in genera

I must admit, I'm a relatively new developer, and I also get overwhelmed by the number of new technologies coming out every day. I can't speak for "back in the day" web development other than things I've heard from

Programming languages are kind of like religion, or one's favorite beverage/food. Everyone has their own preference/coding style. I wouldn't let negative comments on HN steer you away from learning Go. Of course, I'

Wow. This is going to be interesting... The page even includes the key to decrypt the encrypted fields in the dump. Is pg_crypto that easy to crack, or is it more likely the key was stored somewhere in plaintext (e.g., email, pdf, etc.)?

Awesome! Thanks, Go Team! If you're interested in meeting Go devs in your area next month find a 1.6 release party near you: https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Go-1.6-release-party . Unofficial theme song:

Great news! Off topic: Anyone else think the Oracle blog is overdue for a re-design? Its aesthetics are as outdated as Java Applets.

I've only been to SF twice, but I have to agree that it is pretty white. Not as white as Colorado, but still. I also toured Medium and was blown away by the lack of black folks working there. It's tough to describe the feeling, bu

Thanks for the DHH quote. When I first watched the vid, I couldn't figure out what was going on and what the purpose was. The DHH quote was perfectly timed because it explained the context of these types of demonstrations: to make cool

Scalability--not so much. If you were really interested in building a highly scalable service (5M+ concurrent users) you probably would want to look at a different tool/language. But, chances are, Django works just fine for your initia

With all due respect, this tutorial might be a little over your head, but a little bit of research will get you up to speed. __init__ files and virtual environments are not specific to Django or DRF. These are typical patterns used in pytho

There's a book called Django by Example by Antonio Mele that I think is pretty good. People love Two Scoops of Django as well. The former consists of a series of tutorials and the latter explains best practices to consider when writing

A quick glance at the README.md indicates that you can input the hostname, port, etc. of your db at the command line, so it should work with AWS (your hostname would be something like blah.blah.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com).
