Yes, it actually is. Writing Python extensions in C was always easy, but now there's ctypes, and you don't even need to do that anymore. You can just call a shared library function directly from Python.
Fair enough. I didn't mean to criticize the article as a whole, just certain phrases, or rather a certain style, that I (personally) find annoying. Besides that I liked the article, too.

Me too, but for me this is just a gut feeling. I guess the OP was more interested in possible justifications for a decision than the decision itself. Can you provide some reasons for what you have said? I would be interested too.

I personally would neither consider Python nor NodeJS for such a project if it was somehow time critical. The reason for this is that I don't know any of those enough to be confident that I could finish the project on time.

So the best advice I can give here would be: If you have a hard deadline that is very close stick with the technology you know better. Otherwise stick with the one that is more fun. I guess that you can resolve any performance problems in both technologies. And when your site starts to take off you probably have to re-write and re-design lots of your code anyway (I don't know where I read this first, but it was a startup that took off).
Oh I thought it did support OAuth. That's a shame.
Ask HN: What should I build an iOS API in?
The system will be a CRUD back end for an iOS app, later offering a web app, then otehr clients, etc. I'm outsourcing it, so the choice of language/appserver will be up to the lucky (!) programmer.

Will be RESTful with JSON data exchange. Linux on EC2.

Other than that - what would you say would be the best route for:

- Low system overhead
- Fast performance
- Low resource usage
- Scalability to multiple appservers (eventually)

Ruby on Rails?
Pyton / Django?
PHP on a framework?

Or doesn't it matter?
Ditto on the WP7 integration, think it would be a killer feature. Would fit perfectly with the model they've taken with 3rd party platforms; merging account details from multiple sources (e.g. twitter, facebook), so click on a contact and "Call with Skype", rather than going into a seperate app.
Trying to get him to realize why it was such a good idea is still an ongoing battle, but I eventually won him over with the following argument:

"Just take my word for it. I can sit here and keep trying to hammer home the same points, over and over, and you'll sit here and keep denying them. So lets just stop this, and you just take my word for it. This project is going to live in source control. If you hate Mercurial and want something simpler, we can switch to something else. But you aren't getting away from this. And any projects we do in the future, will ALSO be in source control. So you may as well make peace with it now."

No offence, but I do not think that's called winning over. It's more like he was forced and who knows, he might still be doubting or having apprehensions about using it.

The thing I believe he was really missing, and that we (I) haven't implemented yet is a continuous integration solution, with simplified deployments directly from the checked in source. His major gripe about not developing directly on the production server was the time it took to see changes. Which is a little silly, but when I look at it from his perspective, I can see his point. If I had taken the time to set that up from the start, he would've seen the benefit of it more immediately.

I'm afraid I don't really understand this point, can you give an example? I thought everyone can pull one's own copy, make code changes and check out their output/results, and if all's good, just merge/save into main mercurial repository.

The moral of my story? Always use some kind of VCS. It may seem like a waste of time with just yourself on the project, but you'll always know for sure you have a copy of your work, safe and sound, accessible from anywhere you need it from. Just make it a part of your life, and before you know it, the "overhead" of using one will more or less disappear from your life. It's an essential building block to a successful project.

Well said, I do intend to make it a part of my life, as I don't think I will always be working alone. :)

I can completely see how, if you had been forced to use VSS for anything, you'd see VCS as something that could get in your way. VSS was/is a blight.

It wasn't that bad, but I didn't have an "oh, this is so radical" kind of moment when I first used it (even though it was). I mean, I was used to taking backups with text file of changes, as I previously mentioned. I guess such an automated system would show its true potential when working in a team, or collaborating over the net.

Well, thanks for your thoughts. Appreciate it.

Absolutely. Think they have a kindle edition out too.. its going to be cheaper.

The book hits the sweet spot for most practical folks and also has great theoretical connectors / flow.

While the current "un-hotness" of flight attendants might be union driven, I'm fairly certain there's another dynamic that would kick in if unions go away: It's simply bad business to fire/not hire good employees because they don't live up to a certain aesthetic. As the first analysis notes, people probably aren't willing to pay much, if anything at all, for hotness, while competence might be valuable.
Most (non-technical) people I know just use a combination of the browser history and Google.
My understanding is that the "best routes" are not necessarily international routes; they are routes that offer the most paid hours per hour spent at work.

Cabin crew only get paid from the cabin door closing to the cabin door opening. Therefore longer routes tend to be better because messing around on the ground is roughly constant no matter how long the flight, so the longer the flight the more paid hours there are per 'free' ground hour.

However there are several factors fighting this:

- Layover time in a foreign city. Some destinations have bad flight schedules so you might end up with a long unpaid layover.

- After a few years of layovers in Paris it probably doesn't seem as exciting anymore so you aren't as willing to satisfy time at home for it.

- Domestic flights (especially on smaller planes) take less time to fill up, so crew can arrive closer to 'cabin door closed' time.

- Not all cabin crew live near an international departure airport, and they don't get paid to commute. Also they don't get put in first class when flying as a NONREV anymore thanks to free elite upgrades.

Therefore it varies by airline but some domestic or short routes may get very senior staff because they happen to match up with personal schedules, and some international cities will get junior staff because the schedule or paid-vs-free hours ratio is bad.
Reminiscence  of The Matrix screen
I don't want to fall in to a Reddit like trap of [citation needed] as a reply, but what in this article leads you to believe that airlines can no longer promote employees for good performance?

I don't know if you're saying it's a bad thing that airlines can no longer fire the recently un-hot, I'll give the benefit of the doubt and assume no. Do you think that the service being better on the airlines you mention has any real link with hotness, or just incidental correlation?

It probably does not matter a lot. Find a programmer that has written a server back end to an iOS app before and use what she wants to use.
Given that I'm currently personally setting up a caching cluster to host www.melbournecup.com (aka "The Race That Stops a Nation"), being able to gracefully handle a huge spike in traffic is something that is very much on my mind! :)

The site itself is developed in Django and so far I'm just planning on putting a bunch of Varnish caches (behind a load balancer) in front of the Django server. I'm using the very nice Django Varnish app (https://github.com/justquick/django-varnish) in the Django instance to automatically purge pages from the cache as they're updated.

I'm deliberately trying to keep the setup as simple as possible, but the goal is to have a fast site and fresh content.

Tips from others who have handled similar traffic loads would be very welcome!
Depends. If it is your product/startup then be careful:

We had a split between founders (business vs technical) about outsourcing vs hiring more people, but I finally gave up. So we outsourced 2 non-trivial components, I interviewed both teams (that was my condition and they were really good!) and of course they shipped.

The problem was that we had to throw both outsourced components out and eventually expand our team. Why?

1) Minor tweaks: code was hard/impossible to extend - no long term thinking and why should your outsourced team really care? They follow the specs!
2) Pivot
3) Expensive
4) No know-how
5) Hidden costs -> communication
6) After some time the code quality dropped dramatically

If you need something YESTERDAY and have the resources to do that... then why not? Just be mentally ready to throw that code away next month.

In retrospect we should have used outsourced teams only for mockups/experimental front-end prototypes and not for the actual product.

Pediatric dentistry
Pediatric dentistry is the most discussed part in modern dentistry. Pediatric dentistry also known as pedodontics or paedodontics. As the name describes pediatric dentistry deals with kids dentistry or child dental treatments and dental care. Recent studies shows that 40 percent children have dental cavities when they reach kindergarten. This modern dentistry is more important to specfic areas of world like USA as studies reveal that 70% of US kids are infected with serious dental infections like ECC ( Early childhood caries ) which is caused mainly due to lack of children dental care. Kids dental care should be given higher priority as studies shows that more than half of children ages from 5 to 17 have atleast one dental cavity or dental filling.
Its a fact that kids in US lack dental care when all US towns are having all kinds of pediatric dentistry services. You can find good pediatric dentist with all specilized pediatric dentistry services in every town. All these town pediatric dentists are specialized in child psychology and management.

" It has been so growing on my mind lately. Sometimes I have felt it was like an eye looking at me. And I am always wanting to put it on and disappear, don't you know; or wondering if it is safe, and pulling it out to make sure.

I think you're conflating "poor service" with "declining hotness".

In fact, I think the original article is pretty sad. Does anyone really care if their stewardess is hot? I don't. I just want them to hand me a can of diet coke, a napkin, a cup and some ice.

>$10,000 for a flight to Singapore on Cathay Pacific, it was worth every penny.

Also, $10,000 ÷ 17 hours (SF to Singapore) = $533/hr. For that kind of money, the hostesses better be hot, naked, and willing to give a happy ending.

Some of these are quite interesting though the "probabilities" are completely arbitrary, of course. From what I can gather the reasons against cryo can be clustered into these:

1) Access failure: an external event prevents the initiation of your cryo-preservation, such as your relatives and/or your hospital insisting on your death taking place as scheduled, or other things preventing you from having access to the facilities needed. - These dangers are substantial. I'd wager that the majority of society is against even simple life extension, and thus even more opposed to cryo. There is also no way to mitigate this risk, since people tend not to die in circumstances under their direct control. Your best bet is probably to convince a close family member to act on your behalf when the time comes, because family has a lot of authority with... you know, the authorities.

2) Persistence failure: things that cause your preserved brain to be destroyed, such as war, system outages, economic trouble, or global catastrophes (including new laws or a radical culture shift). - The probability of just one of these occurring is pretty high, but there is simply no way to accurately estimate this risk. However, the probability of these events leading to your demise is lowered if more people adopt cryo preservation.

3) Preservation/restauration failure: some technical reason prevents your pattern from being restored into a working copy. These include excessive tissue damage before or during storage, or technical problems in reconstructing your brain back into working order. - Compared to the other risks, this one is probably very low. If you're in cryo, time is on your side. While I think that biological reanimation is most likely not on the table when it comes to brains conserved with current technologies, digital restauration looks like a very promising avenue.

4) Religious/philosophical problems: as failure modes go, these certainly stand out. Technically, they don't belong here, nevertheless some variant of religious reasoning is included in many of these lists. - I'm going to discard these points though (including the "probability" that our minds are not entirely based on a material substrate), because if those matter to someone the discussion is already over.
Previously on Hacker News: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3108229
I used to teach English in a stewardess school in Tokyo. It is a VERY sought after position for young ladies just out of high school or short-term language school. Competition is so fierce, they even teach them how to do their make-up, part their hair, tie their scarf and ENTER THE ROOM and BOW depending on which airline they are applying for.

I'd guess it's: competition due to being seen as a glamorous job leading to a stream of young, attractive new recruits + it not meeting such expectations + (at least in Japan) girls wanting to get married by 25 and, having English under their belt and a "desirable" job, achieving this goal and stepping down to be a salaryman's wife rather than staying on until they're "less hot".

You're right, and this doesn't just apply to I.T. Startups. My step father (who is 70 years old, and still on the board of 6 companies) used to always say to us kids it takes "2 years" to start a company. In the article it says you break even somewhere through year two, which I think is what my father was referring to.

My own experience this seems likely too, I started my own startup about 6 months ago,( solo founder, I'm doing it all myself) and extrapolating my current customer base, and success rate, I think I will break even and then continue to grow organically at the 1.5 year mark.

On a side note here's some stats to keep you new founders going (just a little positive news to add to the mix):

- I'm a solo founder, you can do it too! It's less common, but I have determination like you wouldn't believe, I am up every morning at 4am to go for a run before I put in 3 hours of coding before leaving for my day job.

- I have invested about 500 pounds so far for the cost of the domain and hosting, that's my total expenditure (excluding my time coding it) I have made about 7000 pounds so far, in the last few months with my first customers etc.

- I consider my 'break even' part, to be when I can pay myself a 50,000 pound a year salary and can live comfortably , I think this will be about the 1.5 year mark as stated above.

Keep going all you solo founders, you can do it!

There is FireSSH, a SSH client entirely written in javascript. I did not try it out, but it looks as if it should not be that much work to embed it into an own page.

http://firessh.mozdev.org/

Edit: Apparently FireSSH uses a javascript port of the paramiko ssh library. The port can be found here: http://www.mozdev.org/source/browse/fireftp/src/content/js/c...

Edit: From the paramikojs library:
Q: Can I use FireSSH on a webpage?
A: It's not possible at this time. The web at large currently doesn't allow javascript the same amount of permissions like addons have. The main issue is basically making socket connections. No, websockets don't cut it :-/
