tcarey83··on Show HN: KISS IDE – A simple web based IDE
OP here. Only the backend is written in PHP (it is very simple PHP) and that may change (probably Python, maybe Node.js). It's only a small part of the code, most of the code is javascript that runs in the browser. Initially, I am working on Apache and PHP because a lot of what I work on is Wordpress, but Nginx certainly supports PHP as well. Note that it doesn't require your code to be written in PHP, only that your server has the correct modules installed. If you use phpmyadmin you have already pretty much installed everything needed.

tcarey83··on Show HN: ClikiAds – A New Kind of Classified Ads Service
A site Where the community decides what the ads are about, not what ads you can see.

"Don't flag it, #tag it!" is our motto.

If people find your ad funny, they can tag it as #funny and people looking for funny ads can find it by searching for #funny. If the ad is a scam, people can tag it #scam and people can filter out ads tagged as #scam.

Don't want to see ads that are scams, NSFW (Not Safe For Work) or adult? You can filter out any ad that has the #scam, #nsfw or #adult tag.

On another site, your ad might get flagged just because somebody doesn't like it (maybe a competitor?) and you have no recourse, nor do you even get to know why. Your ad is just gone. Here we are very transparent, if your ad is actually suspended, you will be able to see why and actually appeal the removal.

I think I totally screwed up this post, but I can't seem to edit it to make fixes. Sorry.
tcarey83··on Fat-fueled brain: unnatural or advantageous?
This site has quite a few good recipes:

However, you don't have to be fancy. I usually just eat meat and low carb veggies for dinner. For instance, baking a bone-in chicken breast and heating up frozen veggies (lots of great mixes available) or doing a stir fry with chicken or beef and low carb veggies again (don't use packaged stir fry sauce, however since they are mostly sugar).

tcarey83··on Serverless Architectures
You can run all the Python 3 code you want. Just execute it from the Python 2.7 environment. The AWS Lambda environment does support it as the AWS environment is just the basic Linux AMI, and then you can include anything you want into your Lambda code zip file. You can exactly replicate the Linux image they use for Lambda and create your own custom environment that will run your code. What more could you ask for?
tcarey83··on Serverless Architectures
Well for AWS Lambda, they offer three languages: Java, Javascript, and Python. Even then, its really just running in a container and you have access to anything in their standard Linux AMI and whatever else you include with your code, so you could really use almost any language you want. I'm using wkhtml2pdf with my Python code which is a c++ executable. Also, although the Python is 2.7, you can easily use the existing Python 3 environment or include your own.

As far as lock in, it is trivial to utilize the same code on your own servers. I do that for my Python code for development using a simple Cherrypy setup in less than 100 lines of code.

Have I missed something where you provided an alternative?
tcarey83··on Python 2.7 Retirement Countdown
Python 2.7 is not going away and why do you care anyway? People like you and the author of this website should just fuck off. People like Python 2.7, just let them.

When I first read the blog post earlier in the day, it actually said they were using 8-bits. I remember it because it seem quite small to me.

tcarey83··on Update on Coinbase Data Security
I was phished for coinbase just recently with an email telling me "You just received 0.08525920 BTC" and just "Click here to sign in and view this transaction" and I stupidly I did click on the link and did try to log in. The login failed (as it would with a trojan and the coinbase 2 factor authentication I have enabled). But even so, the phishing site was able to attach 3 Android apps to my account with full access. I deleted the apps and notified coinbase, but they were totally less than helpful.
tcarey83··on Crytek announces its CryEngine-as-a-Service Program
Crytek is totally making this up on the fly to respond to Unreal. They may have had something like this in the works, but they were totally caught off guard by this. They have no site and no idea what the licensing will be.
tcarey83··on Turning the Apple //e into a lisp machine, part 1
I'm gonna stick my neck out here and say these guys are choosing the worst and most convoluted way to develop software, much less, a lisp system to for the Apple IIe ever. And then, trying to make a sensation out of it.

I was alive and programming back when the Apple IIe was popular. While I mostly wrote code for the Commodore 64 and Atari systems of the time, I did write a bit of code for the Apple II and IIe.

Those computers are primitive by today's standards, but nobody was entering hex codes. That ended with computers like the ELF II. A lot of the machine code programming was done with a program called a 'monitor' program that was much like the DOS debug program that allowed viewing and writing memory as well as a single line assembly (i.e. inline assembly) that would allow writing programs a line a time in assembly.

But most of the programming was being done using assembler's and compiler's like the Aztec/Manx C compiler that is still availble today (google it) so what they are doing and saying is BS.
