1) We’re not actually using Python for OpenCV, just ruby-opencv and possibly some bindings in Java/JRuby. (I think Python’s in the build instructions due to a numpy dependency in OpenCV. Though that might be specific to using Homebrew on

I'm actually coming up on ten years of having the same blog: waaaayyyyy back when I started, I was editing all my pages manually. (Though blog posts didn’t have permalinks, it was just a growing massive "list page" that I’d break off and pa

For my blog, static files (anything stored in an app's "static" directory, basically[1]) the like are handled transparently through django-storages' S3 support [2]. (The STATICFILES_STORAGE option in settings.) If you’ve used Django's stati

What if you don’t have control over your hosting environment? (Or don’t have an application hosting environment to work with? Or don’t want to provision one?) What if you don’t want to use your own infrastructure? (See Ars Technica’s WWDC l

It was an itch I wanted to scratch. I’d been tempted to convert my entire (Django-based) blog over to something like Hyde[1], but wanted a bit more flexibility than the framework provided. In most applications I work on, I lovingly use and

It’s very wget-like, due to the use of the Django HTTP test client — just slightly more elegant due to the programatic definition of what gets scraped/rendered and the addition of the "direct to S3" backend, which allows arbitrary mimetyp

It's still a regular linearly-scaled chart, so I don't think it's too confusing. Funny enough, I plugged this into Google Docs to see if I could re-scale to give you a comparison of the given chart vs a 0-based, 5-unit-interval chart and

Note : The AT&T patent in question is actually 775 rather than 755 : http://www.google.com/patents?id=UOMZAAAAEBAJ&dq=4555775 This was posted a few years ago and that also resulted in a fairly interesting HN thread: https:/

Haven't looked at the SPDY spec[1] too closely, but I think each side of the SPDY (or underlying TCP) connection would be able to idle-disconnect after a timeout or during a high-load situation. (i.e. to prevent idle connections from consum

This is the biggest glaring bug on the app right now.[1] Doesn’t seem to always affect the app (~30% of the time) when backgrounding to another app or if the phone is manually locked, but more regularly (>75%) happens when the phone idl

Hm, tried to fix the ccache requirement[1][2], but might have botched it. Was using ccache while I was originally developing to speed up the dependency compilation but didn’t intend for it to be a requirement, just an optional speed-up. Wil

I’ll make it a priority to allow using bridges. Unfortunately, since Iran is known to block pretty much all Tor access (even regular, unlisted bridges), it may still not work. Getting around this entirely would require obfsproxy[1] which wo

No need to be sorry — a good reminder that I should mention that somewhere since it’s a strange quirk of legality that affects literally one App Store country. Thanks!

There’s another one (Covert Browser) that’s been in the store since November that’s got a few issues (lack of cookie support, lack of POST support) that render a lot of websites useless. Generally I don’t think this is (on the face) any wor
