Well this is pretty much a given isn't it? It's just a SQL implementation. It doesn't say anything about the underlying storage and guarantees. Given that it runs on GFS and Bigtable, unless these tech supports ACID, don't expect Tenzing to

Heroku, GAE and other SaSS are great, if and only if they have everything you need. For my own purposes, most of the things that I do now involves PostGIS which mean I have to use a PostgreSQL server. The cheapest option for PostgreSQL on H

I'm actually a little surprised that no one has mentioned reveal.js yet. Different idea, but worth mentioning. Impress.js is more like those font animation we see lots these days. It's pretty cool.

There are literally 240 forks of this essentially abandoned and/or poorly maintained Python SDK since May 2010 I think, and I think they just put it back with a notice to say it's deprecated. To be honest, I think people just fork the hell

The Checklist Manifesto is a great book. Short and offers lots of insights in how to manage risks and minimize silly mistakes. Must read for every system administrator and programmer who want to make sure every deployment works as smoothly

I think at this point we really don't need more of these CSS supersets but more comprehensive CSS frameworks like Compass and web framework integration with these CSS frameworks, i.e middlewares and asset management tools. I for once would

This whole thread/process/event queue non-sense is really ruining my appetite. Mmm fried bacon sausage wrap on a stick… Guess what. When the packets come in from the network, they sit in an event queue. When Apache takes a request event, it

If you've been following this argument from the beginning (I'm very sorry to say that I have), you'll notice that Ted's point is not that you WILL do CPU bound tasks in Node, but that Ryan Dahl's misleading statements on Node.js's front p

I think this post is about ridiculing the childish behavior of the Node.js fandom. I have to agree that I've never seen anything quite like this before except the Church of St. Jobs. I always thought that we software engineers are reasonab

True, but wouldn't just making IO async be enough?

How is running 40 instances of node processes different from running 40 instances of a single threaded web server? How is running 40 instances of single threaded event loops better than running 10 instances of a process with 4 threads each?

I was thinking about the same thing. There's no auto-vivification in Python. Thing just blow up and you fix your code. You NEVER do this in real Python code. I'm tired of straw man examples...

Is it just me or is Brian Beck misunderstood Python idioms? What's with the try/except block? There's no auto-vivification in Python. So you just don't try to catch a NameError. You just let it blow up in your test and fix your code afterwa

Exactly, that's why my mind screams "BS" every time I hear the term "general purpose language".

Ahhhh no I disagree. I think this is one of those 140 char limit short sound bite problems that often makes the people listening hard to understand. Turing Completeness is about computability, but also implies the functions in that class ar

Speaking of being an armchair psychologist, has anyone actually speculated what conditions he has? I've seen people suggested he has ADHD but there's no way to tell. There's simply too little information about him to even make an educated g

I'm not sure how this would work as I have no experience with the Android App Store so I could be really wrong here but please do correct me. AFAIK, a typical code signing process required these steps: 1) Get a cert/key whatever, you can ge

How do u propose PyPI or the package maintainers/users deal with key exchange? I'm not aware of anything that allows u to sign Python code now, at least not commonly used anyway. Python's state of packaging is kinda sad really. It's even wo

BTW, I think people should set up their own trusted local cheeseshop and only install from there if security is a big issue for them. I heard Morgan Stanley is using a lot of Python now. I wonder how they deal with this. AFAIK there's not a

Yeah but I bet the thread owner wouldn't be the first person the implement a trojan to infect pyc files would he? If someone reeeeally wanted to mess up Pythonista's karma they'd have done some MITM attacks infecting the eggs a long time ag

I have no music background, but I totally agree with you. In fact, I've been looping Stereophonics' Stone for about 500 times in the past 2 weeks.

I read the post and I have to say that he's got a nice flamebait title but totally avoided the thorny issues that people argue about. In fact, I'd like to be pointed to a solution for the following problems: 1. I'm an old Web programmer, an

I just tried all the https URLs and they all seem to work just fine. Why aren't you using https BTW? It's free, fast(Google's SSL keysize is small) and secure.
