A big issue for anyone doing web development is that the WSGI spec hasn't been updated for Python 3. With unicode strings as the default (only?) string type in Python 3, the current WSGI spec is ambiguous in lots of places, and solving tha

A friend of mine wanted to go this route. I helped her look for small web developers to implement her idea, in the end we concluded that approach is just too expensive, and ends up being too much of a risk (she wants to bootstrap this idea

It's an interesting approach, and might make you more inclined to write documentation -- as it is less hassle to do so. But the end result isn't very readable, the text ends up being an API reference disguised as something else. I prefer a

Don't worry about MVC just yet. Just start coding, get domething up and running ASAP. At some point you will start writing some code and think, "there must be a better way to do this". At that moment, research a few design patterns and ot

After a week of work at the day job I set out to relax on saturday. Then on sunday I'm relaxed and motivated again to work on my side projects. On some weeks I get all my day job work done in 4 days (I work from home), relax on friday and

For completeness: You can choose to receive Postbank authentication tokens either on your mobile phone, or a sheet of paper delivered by regular mail. (also, Postbank has been rebranded to ING Bank, "Postbank" as such no longer exists).

That doesn't look at all impressive. It seems easy to write a solver for it. Especially considering most spam bots are quite happy with relatively low rates of succeeding, they can just brute-force until they find one they can solve.

I prefer 7-8 hours on a train with a laptop or a book compared to 4-5 hours of driving. Driving is either boring (freeway) or annoying (cities), whereas I can usually either be productive or relax on public transport.

Dutch dating site paiq.nl (aka nextlover.nl) has had a similar feature for years. It's not a particularly novel idea.

I have an Asus eeepc 901. It is my main development machine. It's fast enough for the stuff I'm doing on it (python web app development). I don't have any way to connect to the internet when I'm on the go, but that's actually a benefit;

I too prefer to read those articles with many comments. (I usually read comments first, and then decide based on that if I should bother reading the article). However, I do not think the ranking needs to change, the number of comments is

CouchDB. A schema-less database just makes so much more sense for what I'm doing. (and it is extremely easy to use from python, due to couchdbkit).

I use a share at www.gandi.net, 1 share isn't too expensive. In my experience they respond the same day to support emails, and you can enable temporary console access via their website in case you really messed up your installation. update
