Strange--I have been using Newsblur since GReader closed, and am impressed at how fast it is. There were a couple of brief periods when it was sluggish, but he's done a good job of clearing bottlenecks as they have come up. FWIW, I hav

Yes, but for many flights, especially international ones, the charge for those seats is not worth it. I was looking into flights to Japan, and the Premium Economy tickets are literally double the regular economy tickets. Many domestic fligh

If it makes it easier to use encrypted email, then it does a little--any emails with someone with whom you have exchanged keys would be encrypted, and thus while they do indeed still fly across insecure channels, they are (presumably) uncra

The NSA keeps saying that no one is abusing this program. That's completely beside the point--the point is that this program shouldn't exist at all.

The opportunity to work on a cutting-edge technical problem at scale most would never get to touch. That's a very tempting proposal. The secrecy itself probably also appeals to some folks. I'd also imagine that a lot of folks only

Definitely could be. I installed on MySQL because that's what my Linode is running.

Was going to say the same. Has been steadily improving over the last month or two. Still not perfect, but the best alternative I have found yet, and I love that it's under active development by someone who is invested in its success (a

It is... OK. Works pretty well if you don't have a large number of feeds. If you do, can require some decent hardware to run well. Probably not a big deal for most people here, but I got tired of administering it and switched to NewsBl

Also a happy user here. Newsblur is by far the best replacement for high-volume RSS power-users that I have found. And the fact that it's open source so I can 1) satisfy my curiosity as to how he is doing things and 2) install myself if the

Absolutely. They are very different. The Django Book is a tutorial--very useful, and I do wish that it got more support. I will have to see what I can do with helping to update it for Django 1.5. But TSoD is a different animal--it's not a "

I think this is a very important point. In most places outside of the big cities (basically NY, SF, and Chicago), there is very little housing stock available for rent, aside from in low-income neighborhoods and near schools. Furthermore, w

Agreed. I used to use Command T religiously, but I move machines frequently due to the nature of my work and was spending more time trying to get it and its dependencies working on the variety of machines that I use than I was actually, you

Definitely that, but also the skyrocketing costs of a college education. The days of paying your way through school by working summers and weekends are over. Either you are lucky enough to have parents pay for your school, or you are coming

I'm fairly sure the reason 21-30 year olds aren't buying houses and cars in droves isn't because they are "quirky eco-conscious individuals" that your marketing "isn't speaking to"... I'm pretty sure its mostly because: 1: Many of them don'

Yes, that kind of rate is only for partner-level time at a Big 4/Big 3 type shop--and those guys aren't billing more than a few hours a week typically. Even then, $1k/hour is pretty high. Now, it's not uncommon at all for the staff folks wh
