We also could have done Django a lot better. And all of the Celery stuff probably should have been Go, especially with the Cassandra driver we were using. Still, I'm using Django today and as long as you don't abuse the ORM and nested DRF serializers too much, it's very scalable. I think as long as you make separate services in other languages at the right time for the right use cases, it's a very valid choice for rapidly building an API.
I was looking at using JWT to avoid a database read when authenticating a request, but in order to get some sort of variable per-user value I'd have to hit the database to get it, no? Doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose?
There's no reason for the cars to drive back into the city every evening. They could charge themselves while you're at work if they had to charge daily.
I should learn to read...
In [1]: from collections import defaultdict
In [2]: d = defaultdict(lambda: 1)
In [3]: d['foo'] += 1
In [4]: d['foo']
Out[4]: 2Gargoyles represent the embarrassing side of the Central Intelligence Corporation. Instead of using laptops, they wear their computers on their bodies, broken up into separate modules that hang on the waist, on the back, on the headset. They serve as human surveillance devices, recording everything that happens around them. Nothing looks stupider; these getups are the modern-day equivalent of the slide-rule scabbard or the calculator pouch on the belt, marking the user as belonging to a class that is at once above and far below human society.
Who the hell added 'Microscrood'?
This about sums up how I feel about Azure: http://i.imgur.com/ESakkWk.png
So this basically includes all lobbyists?
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"
10000000 loops, best of 3: 0.0266 usec per loopI realize this isn't supposed to be highly accurate, but it's something to keep in mind if it continues to grow.
More people do need to know this kind of stuff though; I'm using it at work to great effect.
I haven't used it myself, but I've been reading up on Salt quite a bit in hopes that I can replace Chef with it soon.
It IS only 'purportedly' him; why do you expect CNN to report what it cannot confirm?
The quotes around 'abusive' are suggestive, but it is also how you indicate that the word came from someone other than the author of the article. If you expect neutrality, expect the writer to segregate their words from their subject's.
Your summary is far more emotionally charged and subjective.
