Because they are "Red Hot"?

Airflow helped my team out a lot a couple years ago mainly for the simplicity of the topdown UI-based view of a complicated ETL AND the ability to retry parts of the ETL. We had lo…

Totally agree on hoping there is at least some movement forward on async--particularly async ORM. I love Django and DRF. It is my go-to for a lot of things, but the lack of async s…

I've messaged you guys a couple times, but never heard anything! I'm a seasoned Django developer, led some teams, and have a bit of experience in public health (mainly disease surv…

Just fyi, depreciating the property isn't a choice in the US. When you sell, the government assumes you did depreciate on your previous tax returns. If you didn't, you missed out o…

This is true, and I love DRF but I find it unfortunate then that the concept of Serializer exists. Tom Christie essentially says that Serializers can and should be used outside of …

Very disappointing. In various parts of the world, data is not always available and SMS is. :(

Yes, you could. My only point is that PostgREST limits you in what you can do in terms of handling load.

I'm not sure if this is exactly where al2o3cr was going, but a Ruby (or whatever) application would normally include such things as caching and queueing. Despite the slowness of Ru…

And Docker bought Fig, so it is likely it will continue to be supported and eventually even do multi-host container orchestration.

That's a good set of pitfalls to watch out for. Mainly, I just find it odd that in Django 1.7, they are using frozen models to mitigate some of these problems, but don't remove or …

Awesome that migrations are now in Django core. I do see some pitfalls regarding Historical Models though. The problem is that application code usually changes over time. Consider …

Thank you. This is closer to a much better upgrade path. The official documentation is really not a good way to have non-technical customers move from South to Django 1.7. With the…

Yes. I think saying "you can't sacrifice correctness because of an inability to scale your database" is perhaps conveying the wrong message though. I mean, your very first point is…

Passing objects to Celery and not querying for fresh objects is not always a bad practice. If you have millions of rows in your database, querying for them is going to slow you way…

What happens if more traffic is coming in than Packetbeat can process? Either you are dropping that traffic or you are (perhaps unintentionally) blocking it, right?

Maybe I'm not following your response. What I'm saying is that there are reasons to use /dev/random at least after boot (to block for seed entropy). Saurik gives a real world examp…

As people have pointed out in this thread and other articles, clearly there can be issues with using /dev/urandom on boot where there is a lack of entropy. What I would love to kno…

Be aware that this version of DDT is likely broken if you are using require.js or other AMD loaders. It may even fail in non-AMD environments if you are using jQuery. This appears …

Thank you for clarifying. Does the AeroFS Team Server also have upgrades that behave the same way?

Overall I think their approach for easy installation and configuration is a good one. I struggle with these same issues at my job--we sell products with a complex application stack…

I for one agree with you. There are a few specific cases where client-side crypto has benefits regardless of the fact that you need to (at some point) trust the server. I think the…

Having the crypto code delivered by the server to provide real-time "end-to-end" security is surely a problem. But, I believe there is a specific use case where even not-so-perfect…
