It's worth noting that since the collateralized housing debt scandal of the Global Financial Crisis, approximately nothing changed in regulation, and credit card and auto debt securitization has taken off in its place. Investors still

If Google (or any other crawler) wanted to play nice with paywalls, they could issue a public key for their bot, and put a signature in their User Agent string that the domain could then verify. Those signatures could obviously leak, but on

As a general rule, I don't use public wifi and council people to use VPN if they must. No flash, disable java in the browser, prefer chrome to safari, AdBlock and NoScript if you don't need JS.

I agree with the premise of judging based on both action and context, power and relationship. I agree that hackers aren't the nerd-revenge underdogs (if we ever really were). I agree that we have power to do good, and we mostly piss

Thanks for showing your confirmation bias. Keep asking questions you don't want to think about.

I think there's some amount of aptitude, but mostly it's just applying effort over time. Keep going.

I mentor Ingrid through Hackbright, and she's great to work with. In general I find it really inspiring to be involved with an organization that introduces so many smart and motivated women to the field of software. Think back to the f

If we're just plugging useful packages, I'd suggest these as useful and broadly applicable: * django-debug-toolbar * django-secure * django-celery * django_compressor

(django core feedback): Django is not perfect, and will never be. It's now a fairly large codebase, and though there are a bunch of committers, people often feel it's easier to write their own library than push things into core. S

django core here, some feedback on -annoying: It'd be nice if you were clear about what versions of django and python are supported. From django-annoying's feature list: * render_to - seems to be roughly equivalent to django

By "ID", I don't mean government-issued photo ID, necessarily - just the ability to know how a person is will do. It may be that the person is a repeat user so that the staff recognizes them, or it may be that someone else can vouch for the

Lava Mae is not yet operational but I think it's pretty likely that Doniece will use the scheme. If so, I'd be happy to do a follow-up with how it actually worked.

OK, I misremembered, it's a queue, not a deque. Still: http://imgur.com/a/Yujev#0 Also kinda random since we don't use much Java here. I do like that people debugged it, though.

A fair number of homeless have mental conditions, but not nearly all. In any case, the hashing approach doesn't manifest as complicated: What's your name? OK, come at 10:15 on Wednesday. That's all.

You won't believe this, but we actually have a soda fridge here that has a deque implementation on the door with a note that cold ones will be at the back. I'll provide a pic if demanded. ;)

Well that is super-annoying. I'll tweak the template.

Redis does OK as a queue, but not as well as rabbit. For a start, rabbit handles OOM better. It has lower per-message overhead. It has a more flexible queueing model in general so that you can use it for both work queue-y stuff and other

My recc after a lot of heavy use is: RabbitMQ for the queue, Redis for the result store. RabbitMQ for the result store is madness.

Regarding 15 - if you want that behavior, you'd be better off with using your own model subclass: class ValidatingModel(Model): def save(self, *args, **kwargs): self.full_clean() super(ValidatingModel, self).save(*args,
