peedy··on OpenBSD Will Get Unique Kernels on Each Reboot
To upgrade to a new snapshot :)
peedy··on Bay Area Home Prices by Transit Stop
South bay from? My summer gig is in downtown Mountain View and I stay really close to San Jose Diridon station. Looking at the schedule, the train ride can be as short as 15 minutes (SJ to MTV) and the rents here are ~$3K/mo for a 2 bedroom apartment.
peedy··on Hierarchies with Postgres (2013)
Is there a reason for recursive queries not being the first choice?

I had versioning problem to solve recently, and recursive CTE was my first choice (did take some time to wrap my head around but was also performant enough), https://github.com/recipehub/recipehub-service/blob/master/d...

peedy··on Metabase: Why we picked Clojure
> to compile the Python lxml library.

If you have to do it very often, I've had good success with keeping compiled python wheels around.

peedy··on HTML as TeX replacement
One case where HTML won't work as a TeX replacement is when you have to think in terms on a page. For example, if you're making a resume and don't want it go over one page, it becomes a tedious process to "change CCS, Print preview, repeat".
peedy··on [dead]
Yeah, says that at the bottom of the page.
peedy··on Git: ignore file lines
I was talking about local dev install where you can activate postactivate script is run after you source activate or call workon. In prod, you will not be activating the env but running executables directly from the env.

ie, your process manager will call /path/to/env/bin/gunicorn and in this case, you'll have to configure the env variables here (in the process manager (supervisor)) config.

peedy··on Git: ignore file lines
If you're on a django project, most probably you're using virtualenv. I had a habit of just putting environment variables in the postactivate script.
peedy··on Android Studio 1.0
Isn't light years a unit of distance?
peedy··on Use Emacs Org-mode Links for Absolutely Anything
People even write their dotemacs in Org mode and use babel in their init.el to run it

peedy··on S3Proxy allows applications using the S3 API to access other object stores
I think you can setup nginx proxy with cache. Unfortunately, that's easy only for public files and authenticated requests won't save you much (for that you can also write a small script to authenticate yourself if there's a cache hit).
peedy··on Google Noto Fonts
On the website, they are pre rendered into images. Example, http://www.google.com/get/noto/images/samples/noto-sans_en_4...
peedy··on Side Tabs: Prototyping An Unexpected Productivity Hack
I just installed TST and it lost all my 4 pinned tabs but could pin them again with no issues.
peedy··on [dead]
Seems like their background workers were down too. My colleague sent a pull request before the went down and got the notification just a few minutes ago.
peedy··on Celery – Best Practices
Has anybody been able to make a priority queue (with a single worker) in celery?

Eg, execute other tasks only if there are no pending important tasks.

peedy··on JavaScript library for browser to S3 multipart resumable uploads
As making a policy involves no communication with Amazon, I used to just create a policy on the fly for every upload request that said "allow upload to this specific key(path)". The key would be unique to every upload request. Once the upload is done, I'd just start processing the upload and move it where it belongs.

Thus, in plaintext you'd have to put only your AccessID and a policy which would expire after a few minutes.

EDIT: typo

peedy··on OS X Yosemite
> At least my Mac recognizes and uses a second monitor when I plug it in, unlike the bloody Fedora 19 box that I use at work. And don't get me started on that second graphics card that the system can't figure out how to use! And the wifi Just Works(tm), unlike the Ubuntu laptop that I had before that.

You can write a udev rule for that

peedy··on Alfred and OS X 10.10 Yosemite
The screen shots were leaked a few hours before the keynote started. So, they might have seen it coming.

Many people from Europe do that. It does sound cooler.

What are your thoughts on Neal Ford and Stu's Clojure from inside out series?
peedy··on Linux 3.15 Can Resume From Suspend Faster
In my experience it is the other way round. I run Linux 3.13 on Macbook pro (Early 2011). OSX takes 2~4 seconds, linux takes ~1 second.
peedy··on Customer Reviews and Ratings for Apple 85W MagSafe Power Adapter
I think that's why when you buy a replacement adaptor in India, they give one with UK plug (which has the three prong). However, even with such an adaptor, I experience earth issues (if put my plugged in headphones around my neck, they shock like eletriculing leashes).
peedy··on Firefox 28 Release Notes
These days you just have compile it with --with-http_spdy_module in configure step. (for the current 1.4.6-stable). We were about to go into production but will hold it off.

Also the current mainline 1.5 version has implementation of spdy/3.
