I'm at La Jolla shores, so I have to agree ;)

In his third response (when he gives "a few ideas") "speedy" basically describes Dropbox:

  Don't you wish you never had to worry about your  
  computer crashing or hard disk dying?  
  An idiot proof backup, and one where I don't have 
  to set _anything_ would be nice.

I bet Dropbox is making a million bucks.

At the top of the page source:

  <!-- Ahh... I see you're a distingushing Internet user.  You're really a "check under the hood" -->
  <!-- type of guy.  I like that about you.  I also like how you really told off that bully-->
  <!--at the Christmas party... you're such a stud.  And have you lost weight?  You're looking great.-->

and at the bottom:

  <!-- You looked all the way down here?!  Let's hump. -->

Classic.

Holy shit, this Facebook situation is turning into a full-on witch hunt.

Mostly the intense criticism is warranted, but I feel as though a lot of levelheadedness is starting to go out the window.

You have it correct. What you say in your second sentence is exactly the issue.

If this is "actually" a big issue or not is another question.

No patch has been accepted (unless I mis-understood what you are saying).

In fact, if it's not totally obvious to everyone that timf is the one that committed the latest commit, then this demonstration is noteworthy.

After the readwriteweb.com "Facebook Login" debacle, this page looks extremely optimized to position itself the same way.

This is just my interpretation.

Wow, it sounds like your app is extremely popular - that sounds like huge traffic, especially for "scaling to that size in 12 months". Right? I am naive, or is this "fairly common" with decent Facebook games?

What is your application? Are you profitable? Very profitable? (Oh god I hope you are very profitable, or some of my apps are screwed - but then again I guess it really depends on the business model and usage characteristics)

Their strong usage of both Memcached and Memcachedb makes me think of my favorite 'all-in-one' solution: Redis.

Ok, that is actually very funny :)

I definitely did not think of this when I asked the question, but if it turns out there is no project "similar to rubber, but for Fabric", I may start one, and I'll most certainly call it "Spandex".

Oh, that's cool. Do you (or anyone else) know of anything similar to rubber, but for Fabric?

"So one of the worst downsides of CVS is _politics_. People, not technology."

Great site you have going there. Went through the whole thing, and then demo. Clean and straightforward.

Quick question, a bit off topic. Here: http://twitter.com/Classlet/status/3854900110 you say "We finally rescued our Twitter user name from a squatter!". How did you manage to do this?

Sounds cool, hope to be there.

Anyone know what these things are like? Is the crowd/discussion more business focused or more tech details focused? (Both?)

Here is how it was written: http://clemesha.org/static/talks/Django_and_XMPP_BoshWriting...

"I'd like to see Twisted take advantage of the hype around Node.js -- They're the same! Except Twisted is mature and does more. And is Python" -http://twitter.com/progrium/status/7900106071

The moment I saw one, I thought Segway.

Broadly speaking, I honestly agree with this.

Show/hide functionality would be awesome.

I actually strongly considered peeking at the html and implementing the necessary JavaScript myself - I wonder if a contribution of this type would be accepted?

Hi, I'm one of the main developers of Codenode, and I wanted to agree that the Sage notebook is a bit more mature at this time.

In fact, I was one of the original creators of the Sage notebook (along with William Stein, Tom Boothby, and others).

We started Codenode with the hope of creating an even more generalized and robust online code notebook.

They indicate a region where a new "Cell" can be inserted.

Codenode is like "Google Docs" for programming.

The benefits are more the ability to "code anywhere", to not have to install anything (think Windows here), to have the backend server contain lots of pre-installed packages, and to do real-time code writing collaboration with others.

The real-time collaboration is a work in progress. For more information, see here: http://github.com/clemesha/hotdot

It's certainly very useful, as explained in the part of the article about 'scaling down', i.e. development-mode and small to medium scale deployments.

Additionally, if you find your application needs to scale up, there are well-known ways of doing that with Django, without using Twisted.

Here's some more info: http://jf.posterous.com/after-5-years-of-using-linux-and-mac...

In my experience, this is true and extremely valuable:

"the constraints EC2 imposes on you forces you to build fault tolerant, shared-nothing systems."

EC2 forces you to care immediately, not later when the shit hits the fan (which it always does, eventually).

The WSGI support, and twisted.web in general have been seeing some great improvements. Coupled with this amazing running series on twisted.web: http://jcalderone.livejournal.com/tag/sixty+seconds, I'd say things are looking very positive for Twisted in the web world.

I think the release of Tornado has got people thinking about "Comet frameworks" (for lack of a better term), and I have the personal opinion that Django+Orbited+Twisted could make a better "Comet framework" than Tornado.

Here's a project that is exploring combining Django+Orbited+Twisted: http://github.com/clemesha/hotdot - it contains a full working example, and I believe taken further, it could really turn into (at least) a great starting point for making "real world" Comet apps with Python.

Wow, the 'current support' matrix is filling out very nicely.

Yeah, the Strophe+Punjab is a little unwieldy (there are some use-cases for it, like federating to many XMPP servers - I just don't have this requirement now).

Are you using just Strophe, or some other js XMPP lib?

Great to hear, thanks for the reply. I've had a good experience with Strophe (never tried JSJaC), and the future of it is looking really bright. The lead developer of Strophe, Jack Moffitt, has been creating a jQuery-inspired plugin system for it, which will be awesome.

Anyone using Ejabberd's HTTP-Bind (BOSH) functionality? In particular, is anyone using it in combination with Strophe?

Right now I'm using Strophe+Punjab for a project but I'm thinking it might be worth cutting out the Punjab dependency.

(Just for reference, the very awesome Strophe: http://code.stanziq.com/strophe and Punjab: http://code.stanziq.com/punjab )
