I just wanted to say thanks for the entertaining talk you gave at FOSDEM and also that I appreciated the Sneakers reference :)

That’s the nice thing about mDNS. No flooding of anything since it’s multicast and not broadcast.

And everything looked like the same unusable mess with 25 nested tab groups and tree views

That decision was always baffling to me. Basecamp is such a UX nightmare even Jira looks good next to it...

No I don't particularly want to read a 3kB JSON file without tools - but the point is: in a pinch I _CAN_. With a binary protocol you're entirely dependent on tools (except you want to trawl through it with a hex editor)

No need for join(). > It can be a whitespace-separated string of names, a sequence of names, a sequence of 2-tuples with key/value pairs, or a mapping (e.g. dictionary) of names to values.

The second parameter can also be a list/tuple of strings. e.g.: >>> Animal = Enum('Animal', ('lion', 'tiger', 'liger', 'tigon'))

Here is an idea: use different nicknames for different things then you wont have to live in a self prescribed virtual prison

It really doesn't need to since you aren't bound to a fixed schema. Just use whatever fields are necessary for your documents and map them to the appropriate types.

Interesting, but it's not as if hotels in general have been high security installations. Very easy experiment: Just go to the front desk an thell them that you sadly seem to have lost your room card. 90% of the time they will just ask for y

This incident also sheds a different light on another tidbit on talk show history. In one of the earlier episodes of the 5by5 version Dan and John were talking about how Dan's recommendation of "Silent Running" to John basically ended the f

I would imagine that it would be quite difficult to design a 3D printer that works in zero gravity. All current designs that I'm aware of rely on gravity to either keep the base material on a level surface (e.g. SLS, SLM) or to draw the bui

I and several of my clients use quite a few of those and I'm very happy with the performance. IO performance is very good (especially for a virtualized system) for example apt-get update / upgrade takes less time on one of those than it doe

As long as the package you need doesn't include a C extension (which most don't) you can just ship it with your code (license permitting ofc.) - just add the path to the libary to sys.path. It's not a very clean solution but can be a real l

Wow this is so frighteningly magical and will break in many entertaining ways. For a sane alternative I'd recommend Kenneth Reitz' awesome Envoy ( https://github.com/kennethreitz/envoy )

Because it leads to namespace pollution and hard-to-track-down bugs. It's especially bad in this case where adding an executable in the system can suddenly shadow any built-in name (e.g. imagine someone adds a "print" or "sys" executable).

Sadly Germany is missing from the EU beta signup page ( http://www.twilio.com/eu-beta-signup ). Do you have any timeframe when this will change?

Well ok that's understood. But still - instances randomly crashing is not acceptable under any circumstances in my view.

Rackspace (and really all the "popular" US hosters) seem ridiculously expensive compared to hosting prices we have in Germany (see e.g. http://www.hetzner.de/en/hosting/produktmatrix/rootserver-pr... this is one of the biggest root server

Having read that (and assuming it's accurate) I really wonder how anyone in their right mind can see EC2 as a viable hosting solution.
