Would Django have to drop their own Request/Response objects and adopt the Requests/httpcore provided ones? Was there any discussion with the Django core devs at pycon regarding it?

The idea of proxying ZeroMQ over an HTTP layer is intriguing. I have never used the .*MQ variants, but I understand that request/response is pretty popular.

What surprised the researchers is that the quantum simulations are still not as efficient as they could be: they still have to store more information than the process would seem to need.

That suggests quantum theory might not yet be optimized. "What's fascinating to us is that there is still a gap. It makes you think, maybe here's a way of thinking about a theory beyond quantum physics," says Vedral.

Here's my thought from this (all absurdity aside): The gap between the theoretical minimum and the optimal quantum simulation could arise from the overhead needed to run a simulation inside another simulation.

Perhaps the researchers should calculate the minimal information needed to simulate the future inside another such simulation?

Using this information, we could predict if we are indeed inside a simulation. And, if several simulation overhead quantums fit into the gap, within how many levels of simulation we exist.

Ok found where I heard of this: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1560792

This has been around for 2-3 years now and while nice to look at, it isn't that great. I never really understood what niche market they were trying to target because their hardware choices aren't all that compelling. To explain:

The choice of CPUs (the only thing that you would want to upgrade since network and power won't matter that much) is pretty sparse - Athlon 3400E, 3100, or 2000+ are your "current gen" choices. The performance of these CPUs is comparable/worse than some of the Atoms present in nettops which cost much less than $850. Once you factor in accessories (vesa mount is extra on the xi3 as are the keyboard/mouse - also the default SSD is pretty small @ 16GB), the price of one xi3 is comparable to 2, maybe 3 nettops.

Over 10 years, how often would you upgrade a basic workstation computer or HTPC (the only real use for a computer with this type of power)? Probably only 2 times. So why buy an xi3 instead of a nettop at half the cost? Presumably so you can upgrade at a smaller cost. However you can just buy an entire new nettop when you do decide to upgrade, which would also have a better CPU at the time, and still manage to break even. You even get to keep the old nettop working instead of having a useless extra CPU lying around.

Overall, the idea is interesting but the final costs simply don't make sense for a workstation/HTPC. You would need to do CPU upgrades > 2-3 times in 10 years to beat the cost of just buying a nettop.

The one thing they do have going for them is the Z3RO Module (you need to pay for the software to run this as well @$100) but this too isn't a great solution. One of these will let you use one xi3 for 4 people at roughly the same cost as 3 nettops (a bit over but not enough to get 4). This seems to be a good price if you don't need much computing power to run your software (remember, this is about the same power as an Atom so it is fairly weak already). If you get another module to double to 8, the price will seem even better but what can be run by the users will be severely limited as they are all sharing a single computer.

A better solution than this would be to forgo the hard drives in your nettops to cut cost and instead use them as thin clients. You get more computing power and can still scale at a somewhat reasonable cost compared to the xi3 + Z3RO Module. Or, you can just go with cheap laptops (portable, same power, prices are dirt cheap for low end ones, and they come with OEM licenses for Windows, and don't require monitors) and beat out the xi3 + Z3RO Module completely.

TelepaFi for now only works with wifi routers developed by laboratories Berton.

I don't really have any expectations; there are so many variables to consider.

My guess, however, is that the price will be more stable, given that the effect of any bad news won't be so amplified by the minting of new coins. Currently, the supply of coins is growing rapidly (just over 30% per annum). After the block reward halves, that rate will be below 13% per annum.

As others have mentioned, I'm also curious to see how the halve will affect the network's hashing rate (and therefore, security).
A choice between the 'big three' is rapidly becoming an uninteresting decision. No concessions for the rare people who use Haiku, wrote their own OSes, or use their phones/tablets as their primary device?
Same. I built one in the late 90s as a pen test project. It only had network support, no wifi, but you could plug it in anywhere and it would arpflood and then passive listen for everything, before running through some rules on what to keep and then sending it back to a dump box (and saving it to disk).

I was part way through setting it up to spoof as an active directory backup (or primary auth server) before we had the
plug pulled.

Did two real pentests with it. Went back to the client with a list of 90% of their passwords and hundreds of web account authentication details (shopping sites, email, amazon, slashdot, etc.).

I'd love to build one again today. Battery powered and a lot smaller than what is seen in that Ars article. They would be so cheap that it wouldn't be worth retrieving - just letting them run for a week and being able to reverse shell into it to control it.

Hacking an android phone would be good for this. remove the screen and get 10+ days of battery life of just the OS running (remove bluetooth, etc.). package it as something that looks innocent of place it under carper or in a void space in a wall.

I don't think you need a CS degree for programming.A school kid can write programs. With the degree you get more understanding of architecture, design, the kernel and algorithm patterns which helps you in designing better products. A program may be moving something from a to b but with a better algorithm the function may be more efficient.
I hope they are working on the miniature version that is inside a power-strip or even small enough to be an actual plug.
What do you think the reason for that is? That those people without a bachelor's degree will be really discouraged from applying if you state that a master's is required?
I think requests and werkzeug are great, but I'm not entirely sure what problems this proposal addresses.

First, it will be extremely hard to get Django to replace a large chunk of it's core with an external library. Not only because they don't rely on an external dependencies, but because there's no obvious benefit.

For example, why would you replace the Django test client with something resembling requests? There's no need to go through the entire request process cycle just to test a small chunk of code. It makes them less efficient, less accurate, and more difficult to understand when something goes wrong.

Second, things like "cachecore" are not synonymous with "http caching", and are extremely confusing names. I think that "uricore" is a good idea, but it's another non-obvious name. It's not a "core" at all, but rather an improved version of urlparse.

I think there are a lot of valuable uses that can come from separating common functionality out so it can be reused in various places, but I dont think Python users are concerned about HTTP not mapping 1:1 with WSGI day-to-day. I can definitely say I'm not, and I'd like to think I have some knowledge as to what matters in [Python] web development.

Daily stand ups would be stupid in my current project.

Professionals should have a broad responsibility for the end result and appropriate freedom over the approach taken.

Externally imposed process creates a situation where professions are responsible for executing that process.

People ask dumb questions like "Is this Agile?". Who cares? The correct question is "Is this what makes sense to get the right outcome?"

My personal experience is daily stand ups are used as a tool to mandate a start time. This time was been inconvenient for staff with young children to drop at school. I remember hearing the sigh or relief from a person when they were dropped.
Well I think the replacement in django's tests wouldn't be for general unit tests but instead to replace their tests client that one can use to test your own views.
Does the Gnome foundation think they'll acquire users because they're resembling the user interface of tablet? They won't they'll continue to lose users who are annoyed with trying to use a tablet interface where a desktop environment should be. I'm so sick of the horrible design innovation coming to the Linux Desktop. Fact of the matter is, the Linux Desktop is still for power users, becoming more and more different without innovation will only aggravate those power users and they'll switch to other alternatives. When KDE4 came out, many switched to Gnome 2, and now those users are switching to XFCE or looking for other nice alternatives, such as tiling window managers.
I have a CS degree, although it's only a bachelor's degree. However, I have worked with and hired a few people without degrees. As one of my bosses said; having a degree doesn't necessarily make people smart, but if they have one there's a larger chance that they are smart.

Thats exactly what I was talking about. Why would you even consider replacing the test client? What value could it possibly bring?

There's no need to test the HTTP lifecycle when you're performing simple "heres the data for my view, execute it, and return the response to me". The http client itself should be tested, as well as Django's internals. It should be clear and obvious separation of concerns.

Show HN: our online game made with Lisp/Erlang/Flash
Dropped out for the same reason. 29 years old and recently got my first job as a developer.

My dad used to push me to get a degree. Now that I have a job he's cool about it. I still think he'd be happy if I finished college, but I prefer working on my music career in my spare time, which might not lead anywhere but is deeply satisfying.

I'm still somewhat bitter about dropping out. I don't particularly enjoyed school, as I always thought it kept me from learning the stuff I really cared about. But in retrospect I have to admit that I got exposed to a lot of stuff I might not have ever heard of elsewhere (like telecommunications engineering, Cisco administration, theoretical mathematics, and so on). Not that I learned much of of any of those, but I feel more rounded overall because of it.

I can carry a wireless router, power supply and cable around in my jacket pocket, and you can do fun stuff like telling the wireless router to transparently send all traffic through something like OpenVPN (or Tor, if you're paranoid). Makes security in potentially hostile environments very straightforward.

Are you sure? I've lost plenty of weight following a low carb diet while eating tons of high calorie dark chocolate and oily meats.
Absolutely. I work for a 'start-up' in the insurance sector, where everyone uses IE (the only non-IE entries in the access logs are myself on the development sites). If we ignored IE (and I'd love to, given the number of headaches over the years) we wouldn't have any customers.

We could get away with not supporting Chrome and Firefox though as I doubt anyone would notice.

Or that the mix of Earth and Theia in the moon is very non homogenous and they took most of their samples from the Earths part.

Actually, now that I think about it, wouldn't the result of the collision cause most of Earths contribution to be on the surface of the moon? If it was otherwise, then Earth would have had an ring much like Saturn at one point which then collected into whole to become the moon. That couldn't be true since we would have easily seen evidence on the moon. This theory of mine would mean that almost any samples taken from the moon would would be originally from Earth.

FreeBSD. Only desktop I've used since 2004.
Every day, I start up a computer running OS X. Then, I proceed to fire up virtual machines for two Linux distributions, Windows XP, and Windows 7.

I occasionally play around with a headless system that I have running FreeBSD. Then I may power up my iPod Touch to test recent changes to my mobile site. I also do a significant quantity of work while I am logged into a remote debian server via ssh.

I doubt that I am the only developer with this type of daily routine. I actually do think that this poll is pretty nifty (and I checked off OS X), but I think that it is still worth observing that the term "primary operating system" just doesn't quite carry the same weight as it used to.
