amccloud··on Ask HN: How would you defend Python against Node.js in a SaaS web app?
I'm a huge fan of Python. I've recently started to benchmark websocket servers. Python (gevent, eventlet) completely locked up when I subjected it to the load, ~30 frames per second, I was sending to a Node.JS and Go server. I kinda expected that. Maybe i'm doing something wrong. For now I think i'll stick to nodejs.

Seems to work just like AirPlay.
amccloud··on Ubuntu forums hacked
So far they are handling this better than Apple.
amccloud··on Apple Dev Center outage
I'm grasping at straws here, but maybe it was a security breach?

amccloud··on Latest Vision for Las Vegas - A Downtown Vibe
Fun picture taken tonight downtown on Freemont East during First Friday: http://cl.ly/image/2U3m2I0p2O0v

I've come to realize Vegas is facing a problem with talent in tech. Plenty of companies are looking to hire, but there is not much selection. I guess that makes it a great place to move. Low cost of living and a sellers market.

Go, they should have your final check waiting for you.

amccloud··on Pinterest hacked?
I think it's used to manage accounts and could be used for spam. The giveaway is the form asking for csrf token and session id; both required for Django to authenticate and accept a POST request.
amccloud··on Pinterest hacked?
Last time I checked, Pinterest is built on Django. They would explicitly need to go out of their way to store password insecurely.

Also, the fact that the form in your screenshot ask for csrf token and session id is very odd.

I'd argue that you found something that wasn't built by Pintest but instead someone's tool for controlling and managing multiple Pinterest accounts.

amccloud··on Things I Wish I Had Known About Django Development Before Starting My Company
pip freeze has always been horrible for me. I've been better off managing my requirements manually.
amccloud··on Ask HN: Have you ever been fired for making a version control "mistake?"
Can also put junior developers (or any developers for that matter) in a position where it's harder to make VCS mistakes. A great example would be (git) pull request. You own your own topic branch. If you mess up - useless commit messages, broken build, no test coverage, or no docs - it won't get merged until you straighten things up.
amccloud··on Everyone on HN, thanks a million
It's also okay to release things when you're embarrassed. Actually, if you're not embarrassed you likely* waited too long.
amccloud··on OpenStack Grizzly
This is awesome! On the flip side it looks like this release comes with zero documentation.
amccloud··on Ask HN: What does a job-seeking start-up developer use for a "resume" today?
I built http://resume.amccloud.com/ for myself.

Wouldn't that be considered a state machine? I've done something with an audio player. Each state was a different class.

Oh interesting! Where did you find that out? I was right next to the team that started launchkey at startup weekend. There was no mention of a dongle in their demo.
