khakimov··on WebTCP: Making TCP Connections From Browser
it's not about pure tcp, as i get it - it allows you communicate from browser directly (via webtcp server as a bridge) with any servers such as redis, mongodb, rabbitmq and so on.

WebBrowser --- data ---> WebTCP bridge (translate data to servers) --- data ---> redis/rabbitmq/any_tcp(and i think udp also possible?)_server_even_smtp

khakimov··on Ask HN: What's after learn python the hard way? too easy.
nice catch, Flask is amazing and easy to start ;) Flask skeleton for Google App Engine here https://github.com/blossom/flask-gae-skeleton
khakimov··on Ask HN: What's after learn python the hard way? too easy.
nothing new, the easiest way to learn a programming language is to first learn the basics and then try to build something with it (learn by practice). And it's better if you are building something you are actually interested in rather than something out of a book because it will get you to think about the problem and be more meaningful.

Start with simple idea. For example scrap instagram images trought their api and create wallpaper from 80 images (10x8 small thumbs 150x150 size each). Similar idea would get into basics of language like string manipulation, url fetch, handling exceptions, etc. For this stage all you need is diveintopython.com and stackoverflow.com (google.com).

khakimov··on Startup Therapy: How to deal with feeling like you live a lie?
Same things (startups, money, lovely wife, kitten) with one exception - I've just moved to LA from Russia and it looks like restart life. No friends, no support, bad english and deep digging into my head/soul/purpose alone at Starbucks ;)

Don't worry, maybe it will be a new pivot in your life.

ps: ocean, workout, surfing, cycling, interesting podcasts and books work very well for me.
