The stuff we used Go for was the right choice for Go for sure, but I don't think the API would have been any easier in Go (though I haven't used those frameworks before...). We als…

50k seems like a low bar to start losing messages at. If this was done with Celery and a decently sized RabbitMQ box, I would expect it to get into the millions before problems sta…

> Of course you design it in such a way, that you can change one of the inputs, which will by definition invalidate the tokens. I was looking at using JWT to avoid a database read …

I use car2go in Austin, and already love the system. A car2go that could drive itself to my door would make my commute perfect.

I imagine this working a lot like car2go, which I've used to commute in Austin. The cars are rarely at a central depot except for maintenance. They're left wherever you last used t…

That makes sense, thanks! I should learn to read...

Is there a bug in the train function? Using 'lambda: 1' for the default dict along with '+=' means that the first time a feature is encountered, the value is set to 2. In [1]: from…

A relevant quote from 'Snow Crash': Gargoyles represent the embarrassing side of the Central Intelligence Corporation. Instead of using laptops, they wear their computers on their …

Applications were running, but I couldn't resolve any domains from any of our Azure machines.

The launcher already was an app, right?

Sorry, it's not scary, and mentioning Guantanamo Bay is extremely paranoid and way out of line. If they're really out to get you they don't need your fingerprint.

Why? What are they going to do with your fingerprint?

You don't have to make a call to register with the tower. I would imagine that sitting directly between two towers would cause lots of renegotiations as one signal gets stronger or…

> "the use or threat is designed to influence the government" So this basically includes all lobbyists?

For those wondering what the hell truth() is, I think they're talking about this phenomenon: python -m timeit "if bool(1): x = 1" 1000000 loops, best of 3: 0.187 usec per loop pyth…

He's not talking about Leslie (as far as I know): there is another.

GET should never modify data. I would recommend changing that to a POST before something indexes it and decides to crawl it every 5 minutes. See here for more reasons: http://stack…

The only reason I've personally bought an SSL certificate was to make the payments page of my website PCI compliant. Pretty sure this doesn't get me around that. More people do nee…
