in theory, your income taxes are supposed to funnel back down to your state (same way state taxes go back to your city). you also pay a lot of money for state income tax, property tax, tax on every gallon of gas you use, heavy taxes on boo

why? i'd rather keep the money than give it to the state. why vote for people who want to tax you more? i realize it's nice to believe in integrity but i don't think this is an example of it

> People who take internship opportunities from emails they receive are usually too lazy to look themselves, which probably shows a lack of drive. I say usually, because this isn't always true. that's a ridiculous line of thinking. emai

i'd actually much prefer a lot of handy libraries (e.g., boto comes to mind) be written in C, and exported to higher level languages. that way, each language wouldn't have to duplicate every other language's effort. the end result would pr

tl;dr: don't give your password to anybody. we've been saying this since the mid-90s but people still seem to slip up. gmail's two-factor auth is nice and easy with the handy iPhone app. of course nobody wants to complicate something like

i thought the same thing. i spent a confused minute trying to figure out which units the 20/40 on the google analytics graph represented, given $1100+ in spending. $250/day and on no day did facebook generate more than 40 hits. i would no

i don't buy it. haven't people been saying that since the 70s? even SQL was designed with the intent that accountants could use it. but programming is really hard, especially if you want something that's done well. i've also yet to see an

i don't think anyone thinks it's a solution to the general problem of concurrency. it's an evented framework, much like django is an MVC web framework. use of either library is pretty pedestrian. twisted made a few innovations (Deferred,

C++ has asio, now part of boost. i have a bit of experience with twisted and must say it's pretty world class. it has great streaming APIs, really convenient APIs for working with processes, in addition to a solid networking library where

for updated-infrequently-if-ever repos, github's pricing doesn't make a lot of sense. i have plenty of small, one-off repos i'd love to back up on github but it doesn't make sense for me to upgrade plans for them. i just back up to multipl

you can do pretty well with 1-2 processes per site; if you don't have the traffic to warrant it, there's no reason to run more. gunicorn can also use an async worker type (gevent) which can help keep the number of needed processes down. dj

is there any good way to avoid using IDs as selectors? i'm working on my first large web project in a while. i'm using Compass/SASS (looks like you are too, or at least blueprint) to try to make things easier but i am finding that the HTML

amazon does that. you can browse the site and it identifies you and your preferences, but when you go to check out or modify account settings, you have to enter your password.

is anybody really doing this in the real world? it seems kind of inefficient to go through 15 testing cycles to write 10 lines of dead simple code. i like to write tests before my code when i am trying to solve a specific problem, or think

no real tricks here, this guy just seems happy he worked on a team with professional standards. thorough testing like that is, while not the norm, pretty commonplace at most of the better places i've worked.

they're not even worth skimming. a while back when tornado (for python) came out, there was a whole slew of benchmarks comparing it to twisted. as a guy who uses twisted a lot, i was interested. all the benchmarks said tornado was faster
