The stuff we used Go for was the right choice for Go for sure, but I don't think the API would have been any easier in Go (though I haven't used those frameworks before...). We also could have done Django a lot better. And all of

50k seems like a low bar to start losing messages at. If this was done with Celery and a decently sized RabbitMQ box, I would expect it to get into the millions before problems started happening.

I use car2go in Austin, and already love the system. A car2go that could drive itself to my door would make my commute perfect.

I imagine this working a lot like car2go, which I've used to commute in Austin. The cars are rarely at a central depot except for maintenance. They're left wherever you last used them until someone else gets in. This could only be

Is there a bug in the train function? Using 'lambda: 1' for the default dict along with '+=' means that the first time a feature is encountered, the value is set to 2. In [1]: from collections import defaultdict I

I was unable to resolve any hostnames from my Azure machines from 4:20-4:40 Central time. I'm assuming this is all related. This about sums up how I feel about Azure: http://i.imgur.com/ESakkWk.png

Sorry, it's not scary, and mentioning Guantanamo Bay is extremely paranoid and way out of line. If they're really out to get you they don't need your fingerprint.

Why? What are they going to do with your fingerprint?

You don't have to make a call to register with the tower. I would imagine that sitting directly between two towers would cause lots of renegotiations as one signal gets stronger or weaker.

For those wondering what the hell truth() is, I think they're talking about this phenomenon: python -m timeit "if bool(1): x = 1" 1000000 loops, best of 3: 0.187 usec per loop python -m timeit "if 1: x = 1"

GET should never modify data. I would recommend changing that to a POST before something indexes it and decides to crawl it every 5 minutes. See here for more reasons: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/705782/why-

Even then I find myself asking how much fun games that EA was heavily involved in were...

What does the head of the Xbox division have to do with the fun factor of the games? I would understand this comment if we were talking about the head of Bioware or Blizzard, but this guy seems pretty far removed the actual games.

"The framing of this is right off the bat aggressive, casting him in the light of a criminal." Ignoring any moral aspects, isn't he technically a criminal? This certainly seems more neutral than your suggestion. Calling him a
