forsaken

Is this the same idea as stunnel, but meant to scale to more connections?

I use 3 passwords: One for my email, one for my computer's login, and one for my password managers master password.

I'd be curious to hear more about how this works. Do you just contract out the work/money stuff to a bank?

It feels like a failure of the internet that I didn't know this existed.

Yes! I can't believe the control panel has been able to exist in such a shitty state for a long time. I mostly interact with cloudservers through the API these days, but last I remember, the control panel didn't let you set up wildcard DNS, which was a major use-case for me. It actually had javascript validation to disallow it, if you turned off JS, it worked fine.

http://urbanairship.com has turned into an 8-bit working game.

When they launched this product, it didn't even cross my mind that it would run afoul of anything. People are doing what they want with the data that they own.

Name isn't on both sides. They missed the most important part :)

The real point that should be made about Chef and Puppet is that they are so similar, it really doesn't matter which you use. Using one or the other is a much more important choice than which one you use.

I don't know the best way to express this sentiment (feels like there should be a word for it). But really, just use something to automate your infrastructure and your life will be measurably better.

This is a major version, so note the backwards incompatible parts as well:

The power of anonymous is that you can become part of anonymous at any point.

Agreed. I'm currently running a site over at http://readthedocs.org/ which is meant to be your one-stop shop for Sphinx documentation. It has most of the big python projects on it, and hopefully as sphinx gets more popular, it will attract others as well. For example, we are mirroring the Varnish docs.

We also had a kick-ass designer help us on it, so the site actually looks rather pretty.

I've had a number of people tell me that RTD has been something that has spurred them to write documentation, so I'm really happy with the results thus far.

Looks like a great lineup. The idea of the extreme talks is a great one. I really like the idea of intense, no bullshit knowledge transfer.

I hope that Djangocon has a similar track this year, assuming it goes as well as I think it will at Pycon.

Well said. I always cherish things that make me step back from my normal viewpoints, and remind me of how lucky we are.

It's almost certain that anyone reading this site is in the luckiest top 10% of the world, having access to food and internet and enough money to fly as to be bothered by it.

If you have a job that you like (which a lot of us do), and is well paying, that probably narrows you down into the top 5%. Congrats, and sit back and enjoy it.

Happy Holidays!

OS X has plenty of keyboard shortcuts. In general I find them to be much more reliable and consistent than any of the Linux software I have used (ran Ubuntu for ~6 years).

This is full of gross generalizations. I use keyboard shortcuts for everything and know how to tab complete. Everyone I know that uses a mac to dev on does as well.

Glad to see startups trying to solve the big annoying problems in society. Banking (Bank Simple) and Health Care are the big ones that I know about, but I'd love to know about more.

Great video in that vein: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7X7sZzSXYs&feature=playe...

Your bug is my feature.

Zed is actually really nice in person.

You pay people less than 50k/mo?

Orangina.

Frisbee Golf followed by chatting with fellow hackers on a patio somewhere enjoying the weather.

It's useful to have journalism and english lit majors as the BFDL's for a web framework. This is the main reason that the documentation for the framework is so amazing, the owners of the project really care about it.

Bing seems to be doing a pretty good job.

With google's privacy snafu's and other mishaps, I could see them getting upset within 5 years.

Site appears down. Is node popular enough yet for the "Node doesn't scale" talk? :)

Last weekend I went out with a flask of Laphroaig (some damn good scotch), and was just sipping that most of the night. I let a bunch of my friends have some, and always came back with some left in the flask. It's a great way to drink really delicious scotch, share with your friends, and drink less.

Virtualenvwrapper gives you per-VENV postactivate hooks that do the same thing.

Cool that you're at KU. I'm living in lawrence -- working at the Journal World on Django stuff :)
