I use import pdb; pdb.set_trace() to get a debugging prompt from within my django dev server. It's the only possible way to debug really complex web apps. You can set multiple trac…

I bet your sister is one of those Asian girls who refuses to date Asian guys. LOL, it really makes me wonder how grown adults could put a child through such a twisted upbringing.

Losers hate winners, no matter the context.

Kids these days...

Let's not kid ourselves here, inter-racial adoption is a totally horseshit dataset for this kind of analysis. There are way too many psychological variables and societal barriers t…

If you're a unix dev and want to be taken seriously, use Emacs or vim. Otherwise people will just laugh at you behind your back. Or to your face.

Maybe the problem is I just hate bloggers in general.

FYI, Earth Class Mail was featured on MOJO network's "Startup Junkies" mini series.

I don't give a shit about using my real account to speak my mind, I have no idea why people on HN are afraid of that. If I had my way the names seth godin, tim ferriss, derek siver…

The only thing rackspace does well is sales and marketing. Everything else is industry norm or less. They've fucked up maintenance windows and installed wrong hardware more times t…

Judging from how often software breaks, not very.

Money doesn't make me happy, but I'll tell you what makes me unhappy: working on salary for some fucking asshole. Therefore, money makes me not unhappy. Which is good enough for me…

A bunch of young, inexperienced single men making less than 50k? Who would have thought.

Except most providers grossly oversell their VPS instances just like bandwidth, and when someone actually starts using 100% of their quoted capacity, it throws everything out of eq…

I use pdb combined with django's dev server for a similar effect and it works surprisingly well. I'd like to know if there's a way I could get into apache/WSGI though.

If I'm healthy and exercising 3 times a week and eating right, I can wake up whenever I want and be productive the entire day. If I'm not, it's simply impossible. This stuff really…

Armed with this info, why would I ever buy an 85% late flight to begin with? ... I think I answered my own original question. But wait, if historically delayed flights were delayed…

Wait, so... this tells me that my flight is "probably" delayed? What if I take that as gospel and show up to the airport late or otherwise make plans based on that data and then it…
