Yep, like rprime said, we're sending tracking events from the server (let me plug http://libsaas.net here). So instead of using mixpanel.track from Javascript, you do an AJAX call to your own server and schedule a Celery job there. There'

We just issue Celery jobs to track events in Mixpanel, so if their API is failing, the jobs fail and get retried later on. If we get too many messages accumulated in the queue where these jobs go, we just purge it (better lose that data tha

I don't think there should be a HN submission every time Twitter/Google Talk/AWS has a short outage and I find this submission in particular to be of low value - that's why I flagged it.

Great article! Small nitpick from someone who just tried this on his server logs :) * on my machine xargs -I implies -L1, so you can drop that * use gnuplot -p or the graphic will disappear immediately after rendering

I'm pretty sure a project as widely used as FFmpeg can't just choose a single compiler (and you'd actually have to choose a single compiler version since for instance new versions of GCC can introduce new warnings). On top of that, someti

All this drama reminds me of this excellent phrase: https://twitter.com/agentdero/status/174965036928868352 Let's argue about whether Haskell or Clojure is better while somebody else ships products using PHP and duct tape.

That sweet map in the background was made by Vizzuality, keep on rocking! (no affiliation on my side apart from knowing them and being a fan).

It didn't work out of the box, but I have a UX31E and it works flawlessly now (meaning: it behaves exactly how I want it to, all peripherals work), with Debian testing. I tend to treat the effort of making a new laptop work perfectly with a

Perhaps other things worry him and I don't think you should assume they are the ones you mentioned. Your comment struck me as snarky and unfair and I have downvoted it and upvoted its parent.

First of all, as mentioned below if the server advertises PHP support, it's considered that the page is made with PHP (so a standard Apache install that comes with mod_php will make it think you're using PHP). And second, I put my company's

Ooops, I might have obsolete information. The grammar on json.org does not define a date type, but ES5 seems to define a Data.prototype.toJSON function. Oh well.

There were some very sketchy plans about making this multilanguage... The best we could come up with was writing a small C module that would call Python code and that you could wrap in other languages. If anyone has a better idea on how to

The lowest common denominator of SaaS APIs is HTTP. Apart from that, everyone does it different. Some use JSON, some use XML, some use SOAP... Sometimes you authenticate with Basic authentication, sometimes you use OAuth 1.0 and need to sig

It's not a real key, just a random hash to make the example feel more real. Seems we hit the Uncanny Valley of code examples ;)

I'm not sure about long ago, but the recent version of libpq has NOTIFY working asynchronously (you can stick the connection file descriptor in a select(2) and you'll get woken up when a notify is available).

It's not exactly new, 7.4 was the oldest version I cared to check, but I think it goes back more :) http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/static/sql-notify.html A recent addition to NOTIFY is the ability for notifies to carry payloads (which

I have no idea, but I find it easy to find plausible reasons to raise money. Hiring a team of engineers to implement all the great things they have in the pipeline? Getting a sales team to get big deals with content producers? Buying lots o

While the idea is nice, please note that the official name is PostgreSQL and Postgres is an accepted alias. "Postgre SQL" is just plain wrong.

Looks like it's similar to using deferToThread in Twisted (where you get a builtin threadpool implementation): http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/core/howto/thread...

We launched with billing code, but did not have code to actually do something with accounts that did not pay until they were into their 35th day of a 30 day trial (a slight estimation error, you know how software development works). "Hey, y
