I'm with you except the very last assertion:

> Again, users don't care about DRM. Because they don't understand it. If they did, they would reject DRM-enabled products.

I understand DRM in great detail (as CTO of a streaming film company), and though I would in principal like to reject it, I have no basis to do so except illegal piracy. Theoretically if all the customers stood up and boycotted DRM we could have an effect, but in practice that would mean not being able to see the latest premium content for some period of time. Are people really going to give up their Game of Thrones to strong arm the industry? I can't foresee any universe where that would happen regardless of the users' understanding and savviness.

edit: it's amazing how this provokes a flurry of replies, none of which address my point at all. I am not making any positive claims about DRM. I am simply asking: how are you going to mobilize customers to boycott DRM?

The HN crowd is changing. They don't want to hear about the importance of FOSS.

I don't think anyone has any expectation that a login should be as fast as any other page load. Same thing for authorising a payment. I don't think a 1 sec delay when authenticating is unreasonable.

To me the risk with using bcrypt is DOS. If you have a high work factor, all an attacker has to do is to run a lot of logon (no need to be successful, they just need to relate to real users) to sink your servers.

The GIL has atomic bytecodes as a side effect and this assumption has become part of the API.

There is nothing on the datastructure side that can be done to "fix" this.

In any case memory access should be considered a memory management problem just like allocating and freeing memory is. It needs to be solved on the language level to create sufficiently high level user experience.

You can only do that if you're willing to do things very differently such as Rusts Ownership/Borrowing approach.

I do this same thing, but have an interesting story as to how I picked up this habit.

In a diffrent age I lived in baltimore, and every day on my way to work would walk past the same homeless (or at least I thought) man sitting behind the church, who would be reading and have a pile of books next to him. One day I passed him and he was exchanging a book with a woman. My curiosity got the better of me and I watched the exchange and listened to the conversation. Apparently, he lived in the church, in trade for cleaning, with his basic needs provided for he had taken up to forming his own little book exchange for tips. After talking with him for a bit, about what I read and what I liked he promised me a book for the next day... Over the course of the next year, I read some rather interesting things that I NEVER would have picked out on my own, and was introduced to them in such a way as to make them much more palatable. As an example I had never been a fan of military history, after throwing a pair of military scifi books my way i got something more factual and loved it.

Because of him, I basically read anything any one gives me... fiction, non fiction, domain specific stuff.
I love blimps. Even more so the semi-rigid ones. We can even get some of them solar powered now.

However, have we solved all the mooring requirements? I can't envision blimps used by individuals until they can self-moor or something.
I chose Mezzanine twice because community support works better than the other options (check GitHub issues and the mailing list traffic and feedback). I can't compare them technically side by side but I found easy to extend Mezzanine just looking into Django docs instead of looking at the specific Mezzanine implementation.

One point that put me in doubt in favor of Django CMS was the support for editing single page sections, you can do that in Mezzanine but it is not "native".

An alternate take on the history from people who lived through it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SaDdLhnIoA4
I was a Computer Vision Phd student until I dropped out in 2007. I wasn't very good, but a lot of what he says now was also true back then too. A field lacking any agreed on underlying theory, driven by fads, un-reproducable papers, massive volumes of forgettable papers by an inexplicably growing population of CV researchers with dim professional prospects.

Yet there are still people out there working against the tide trying to find a 'unified' theory of what's going on, granted with limited success or support. Some argued at the time that the problem is simply too difficult to tackle with our statistical 'tricks' and computing power. It's somewhat disheartening that folks are still grumbling about the same things 10 years after I left.
I've always wondered about this, so it's a big help. It helps explain all the actors that are also waiting tables at the Cheese Cake Factory.

From what I've read other places, it can take five months to a year to finish a movie. So some things may not be a great job.

Key missing job is the studio accountant that has a $200 million movie with grosses over $1 billion and doesn't make a profit. With my lousy math skills that's the perfect job for me.
Anyone know if there's been any sort of security audit for WeChat? I'm basically forced to use it and I'm sure the Chinese government must've put some kind of backdoor in it.
The insurance industry has a perverse incentive to increase systemic prices. If they make say 10% profit due to competion, then ~10% of healthcare spending paid for by insurance = their profit. Thus, their profit increases as prices rise. Sure, they want to tamp down on specific bills, but things like restricting the supply of doctors helps pad their bottom line.

Consider, A 1% chance of a problem is reason to buy insurance. However, if the bill is always ~2,000$ then some people will pay for it, but it's skippable (2$/mo). If it's 20,000k then more people would pay for it and pay more money (20$/mo). If it's 200,000k then it's less affordable (~200$/month) but even if you only get 1/2 the population that's still more profitable. It's only when prices get to 1% of 2,000,000$ that it's simply unaffordable and most people would skip the ~(2,000$/mo) bill.

PS: This is borne out by single payer systems which tend to have vastly lower costs for the same procedure. Assuming similar economic conditions. http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SH.XPD.TOTL.ZS
I disagree. Most people do not want to live more in tune with nature when it comes to living in it. They have very little interest in immersing themselves in nature outside of an occasional hike or camping trip. That's made exceptionally clear by how people actively choose to live and the things they choose not to do. There is no great pent-up demand for telecommuting, a very small percentage of the working population wants to do it.

Cities are vastly superior to spreading out, in nearly every possible way. Cities are far more efficient. Cities produce far greater innovation due to concentration of ideas and the knock-on effects; generally speaking you get a multiplier for each person you add to a city. Cities are far more vibrant in every regard except for nature, that includes art, science, fashion, social, lifestyle, networking, work, access to resources and public institutions.
I wish I could upvote you more than once. This is an important factor that during the foundation of our country that seems to be playing out in real time in our modern times, and it's a discussion that needs to be had.

The government needs to be reminded the people are what give it any legitimacy in the first place, and such blatant unconstitutionality needs to be prosecuted and denounced loudly and publicly.

If you don't believe in what you're doing then I think it could have been a mistake to take the money and carry on.

If the team and investors believed in the product, perhaps you could have asked if some of the current team were willing to take it on, and make it work. You could have retained a bit of equity for the year and the hard work you put in so far without having to commit any longer yourself.
Oh yeah. I did that. 1 time through our executive agreement. That one was unresolved and marked as resolved.

I then called again, promised that it would be taken care of. It was ignored after the 3rd email.

I called again, and was given someone so daft that, even when requesting a manager, he refused. That incident went nowhere.

I'm now on the 4th ticket. I might be getting somewhere... But again, they refuse to return calls and emails.

I'm a developer, too! I probably have a smaller coop than you.

In truth, mine was already on the property, but I've looked at a lot of them. I dislike the one I have and want to rebuild it. Someday.

I'm also blessed with a small creek for watering them, and they have plenty of room to range and therefore mostly feed themselves.

I chose breeds that are known to be broody, and I typically have at least one broody hen at all times. Right now, I have two. I'm not letting them hatch anything out, though. In truth it seems to be just two particular hens that get broody off and on, so perhaps I was just lucky. I'm fairly new to this game, myself.

Focusing on code was not a mistake. It was a necessary preliminary step.

Now that this has been solved (mostly), it is now necessary to take back control on the data. Thus, this article.
And then your users are screwed as the app will eventually lose compatibility with the OS. You're also hoping that your next app will be successful. You're abandoning something that people use for a shot in the dark.
> An open-source software on the other hand might not be maintained in 10 years from now, but people (like a government agency) can always fund further development, if they really, really need it alive. Open source never dies.

Government agencies aren't even the interesting example.

The argument we usually get is that not everybody is going to be a programmer. Which, OK, sure, but maybe 10-20% of people are going to be programmers. Which means even if you aren't a programmer, your brother and your niece and your buddy are. So now you have some unmaintained software you've been using for 20 years, you get a new OS and it doesn't work anymore. It will take your buddy three hours to fix if they have the source and 1000 hours without it. And you can impose on (or afford to pay) your buddy for three hours but not 1000. And then your buddy can publish the fix and now everybody has it.

And it goes the same even if the thing isn't broken. If "the user" can improve the software then so can the user's brother who actually knows how to, which is clearly useful to the user.

It's fairly simple maths. How do you get better software, when every programmer in the world can improve it, or when only the assigned teams at Apple or Google or [defuct company] can do it?

Not quite, actually.

So if I'm reading this correctly, the author is using a queue system (Celery, presumably with a backend such as RabbitMQ?) to run background jobs, but then waiting for them all to complete before finishing a task.

In effect, you sorta get concurrency (assuming multiple workers are processing jobs).

Or does Celery also provide a way to do threading without using a backend service (e.g RabbitMQ, beanstalkd, sqs)?

Basically, I'm confused.

Interestingly, Viktor (Victor?) had doctors in his family, such as Georg Klemperer (see https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=de&u=https:/...): [He] was a German internist. ... [He was] a son of the Reform rabbi Wilhelm Klemperer and had seven siblings, four sisters and three brothers. His brothers were the writer and literary scholar Victor Klemperer , the physician Felix Klemperer and the lawyer Berthold Klemperer (1871-1931). The conductor Otto Klemperer (1885-1973) was his cousin.

As to Viktor or Victor, this makes me think its the same person: https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&... . The article there mentions his treatise LTI - notebook of a philologist (LINGUA Tertii Imperii: Language of the Third Reich).

For example, reshaping JSON to the format an intricate R function expects. Appreciate the great work with (d)plyr and similar packages, but it's still work and overhead. Combined with some inefficiencies/quirks in base r functions (does ifelse() still evaluate twice?) it's easier to go with a widely used and respected package in a general purpose language; Nokogiri for example. For data engineering, consider there is not a maintaned R package for a web-client, and asynchronous programming is weak.

Django takes security extremely seriously: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/topics/security/.

Any Django application that follows good practices and doesn't do anything daft will inherit those security benefits.

Django doesn't permit overwriting of its own program files for update procedures, for example, which some systems to.

(A CMS is by nature slightly more vulnerable, because of the potential for mishandling user-submitted content.)

Author of Celery here (not the article).

Celery solves a different problem: it's a distributed system that will help you run your tasks on multiple machines, not an alternative to asyncio/twisted/tornado etc.

The GIL is often easily worked around by starting N instances of your app, but that doesn't work for all applications (games, video, audio). Celery won't help you in those cases, but you can write C extensions. 99.99% of the time you shouldn't even consider using posix threads in Python, as most libraries (including popular ones) are not thread-safe, resulting in spending precious time fixing tricky bugs.

Celery is also not in contrast to coroutines, actually it's quite common to use Celery as a distributed layer on top of async I/O frameworks (top tip: routing CPU-bound tasks to a prefork worker means they will not block your event loop).

Another thing, the article says `scrape_url.subtask(args=(url,)),` is not very readable, but the idiomatic way to write this is: `scrape_url.s(url)` (yup we have a one letter method name, Django has Q we have .s). See more examples here: http://docs.celeryproject.org/en/latest/userguide/canvas.htm...

Hey subie,

I'm one of the creators of Real Time Users.

Only 1 AJAX call get sent to 'track' you on the site for each page load. The AJAX calls you're seeing are asking the server for the latest number of users on the site so that we can update the value displayed.

This isnt the most efficient way of doing this, as if the site has a low number of users, the count will return the same number most of the time. A better way would be to use websockets, however i only have limited knowledge of using websockets so we decided it was best to just stick to the tech we knew (Especially as we built it in a weekend).

If people start using this more, we might update it to use websockets though.

Hope that answers your questions. Let me know if theres anything else you'd like to know.
