the korg kronos 88key is listed as 1457mm long, so you might need several in order to swaddle it. but at that size, it probably no longer needs swaddling

it was added in python 2.7 / 3.0

it's possible to do this with PEX. I've done this experimentally by subclassing gunicorn.app.base.Application. Haven't tried it out in prod yet though.

I've had good results from converting to Lab space and geospatial indexing the ab components.

I've done some experiments packing gunicorn+ a wsgi app with PEX[1] to have a standalone executable.

Seems to work pretty well, although I haven't tried it for anything production related.

I think your rental prices are a little off. Have you looked for a place in TO recently?

> but is it wise to run a webapp and Postgres on the same instance?

This really depends on the level of traffic you expect. For lower amounts, it works fine.

Law #2 makes mention of law #1:

A robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.

mongoengine does do validation. It can be disabled on a per-model basis though.

using list() in this manner feels a bit weird to me.

If you want to be truly explicit, why not use the built in copy module?

eg:

    from copy import copy
    b = copy(a)   #or deepcopy(), depending on your needs

*edit: I should note that the docs for copy suggest using the slice operator.

It's in the bar along the bottom. Very similar to Textmate.

reddit is currently working for me.

That's how the 'following' circle works. Notch makes a 'public' post, and everyone who has him in their following circle will receive the update.

I see pyramids with firefox 4. I'm not sure what the 'mindfuck' part is though...

are you on windows? I find this happens on windows more so than mac. I believe its a combination of bad hinting combined with Microsoft's very crisp font smoothing. Windows can really mess with the kerning as well...

this looks pretty cool. Happen to know any similar projects for python?

I'm impressed so far. I've been looking for something like this.

I didn't even notice they were gone at first...

what does this have to do with jailbreakers? The data in question is accessible on the machine the person syncs their phone with. It's conceivable that third parties could easily gain access to it.

I'm sure people have all kinds of other sensitive private info on their machines, but how much of it is easy to automatically parse and analyze?

for python-specific, there is also http://www.nongnu.org/pyreb/ . It supports named capture groups, etc.

thanks for posting this. I agree fully. The place I frequent is very small, so one person taking up a lot of space can be really annoying. The worst is when two people push two tables together (tables meant for 3-4 people!) and sprawl out over them.

I also find it difficult to get certain kinds of work done in a coffee shop or other public place. I always seem to get this feeling that people are watching over my shoulder, despite the fact that nobody actually is. That feeling is somewhat unsettling, and makes it difficult for me to concentrate on things like code.

So, for me at least, coffee shop time is 'thinking' time. Time to enjoy the brew, do the crossword, let the mind go wild, and write down notes of ideas that pop into my head.

are you planning on adding some kind of tour? I'd like to see screenshots before diving in.

cool, thanks. I think I might check it out. It's certainly 'pretty'.

edit: testing it out now. It seems to be more responsive than spotlight. Liking it so far :)

thanks for sharing. There are a couple tools in there I hadn't heard of that might be useful to me.

Is there any particular reason you use Alfred vs Spotlight?

The site itself:

"A history of silicon valley failure written in t-shirts"

oh... that wasn't serious? Guess I missed the April 1 date on it.

the rss feed works well for me in google reader. It allows me to keep track of what I've read and what I haven't.

If it seems like the comments might be interesting I just click the 'comments' link.

Why go through the effort? When I end up on an NY Times page, I just close it because I know they're going to make me log in. This just gives me more incentive to not click on NY Times links.
