HTTPKit — A lightweight HTTP server framework for Objective-C
The way I see it, Flask is a library, while Django is a framework. Flask only serves to handle requests. Flask doesn't impose a design architecture on the webapp, which makes it a great way to turn any module into an online API.

On the other hand, Django's 'batteries included' philosophy means you can deploy a generic CMS application very quickly.

In my experience (and as this article suggests), Microsoft operating systems have always been really vulnerable to flooding, even over IPv4. Malformed UDP packets to port 53 (DNS) at about 20-30k packets/sec instantly would lock up a windows box and prevent it from successfully rebooting. This was one of the preferred methods for the wargames that were played for bandwidth over the shared housing network for Microsoft Research interns in China a few years back.
A rad hardened machine won't be running 3.7, or 3.6.x for that matter. They will be running something a bit older with (guess I don't know for sure) security patches being back ported as needed.

Sure, you have the option of not using their app store. Any sane developer would realize that its financial suicide to ignore Google Play and release a purely sideloaded-apk app (or through Amazon's store, for that matter).

Google charges the same 30% transaction fee for in-app purchases as well, though I don't know what their policy is regarding Dropbox/Kindle/Skydrive-type apps.
I haven't tried it but probably not. I do a lot of Xbox Live gaming and I've heard bad things about Clear wrt/ gaming latency (though I've heard it is nice for lots of other use cases).
In the US there are many agencies you have to deal with and a lot of paperwork that must be filed. Unlike Canada where you tax based on the work-location and pay everything to the federal government, the US has all sorts of fun rules that mean you could be remitting taxes to multiple state/county/local agencies. And each agency has a different level of technology savvy so you could be faxing/mailing forms to get a particular tax paid.

So calculating gross->net scales nicely, but paying the fed/state/county/local agencies doesn't. And aside from the actual costs of providing the service, it's a tremendous value to the employer. Even at low hourly wages that $25 pays for itself.
Apparently Intel has had a Radiation Hardened Pentium for 14 years:

http://www.sandia.gov/media/rhp.htm

Those satellites that are going up with the old radiation hardened 386 are going to have to run a version of the linux kernel 3.7 or earlier. I suspect they are conservative with regards to their kernel choice anyways, so that should be okay.
This is a great point. I totally agree, if you adjust simple things on each visit, then you can use their extra bits of identification against them, in a very obscure way, without limiting the actual checks of functionality that the sites use.
> Individuals intentionally blurring the difference between TED and TEDx.

> Speakers who abuse the TEDx platform by turning their speaking opportunity into a promotion for themselves or a book tour.

I see these two rules broken all the time. Just a few weeks ago I read a tweet from one of the new-age social media experts which said "Go and watch my TED talk about social media.." and I clicked on it thinking it would be a TED talk ..

It turned out to be a TEDx talk, he had linked to the 6th second of the video so that the 'TEDx' bumper wouldn't be seen, and the entire talk was about his upcoming book. This was at TEDx San Francisco.

The whole TEDx brand has been ruined for me. It wasn't the first time that a TEDx video I had watched had been misrepresented or was just a sales pitch. I actively avoid anything TEDx related, unless I have been tricked into clicking it.

Edit: and if you are wondering why TED has such strict rules, which I am only seeing today for the first time, now you know - they want to protect their brand from incidents like this so viewers like me aren't turned off.

In 2000, someone gave me a 386 desktop that they were about to throw out, and I ran OpenBSD on it until 2005 or so. (I was a student, so getting new hardware was more of a big deal then.) To get it working I had to recompile the kernel (which I did on a "more capable" Celeron 366) without support for newfangled hardware such as USB and PCI in order to have enough memory to boot and log in in a tolerable amount of time. (Otherwise too painful due to swap.)

So I was pretty grateful at the time that it was still working, even though what I was doing was, now I can say with the benefit of hindsight, pretty crazy.
That's one of the reasons I suggested App Inventor, actually. Even picking a project like "make an app for your stuffed animals" (which is the kind of thing I would have LOVED when I was 7 or 10) could be a way to move forward from the video tutorials.

Maybe the author had a need for it, built it, and is throwing it out there for anyone else who might have a similar need? Maybe you need to embed a web server in your app for something? Maybe you're really comfortable with ObjC and just want to get a quick server up for prototyping? Maybe you don't find it to be too verbose, and prefer having code that's easily self-documenting instead of relying on framework knowledge? Maybe you like being able to use a framework like Foundation (which has had 20+ years of history)? And so on.
Because ILLNESS IS UNNECESSARY
I was in the same position about a year ago. I spent about three years at a company, it was my first real job and the members of my team were not just colleagues, but also friends.

But then a really good opportunity came up and I decided to leave. I just walked up to my boss and told him about the offer that I got. He asked if there was anything they could do to keep me, but the fact was they'd never be able to top the offer I got.

So, I guess, my advice would be:

1. Be honest.

2. Notify your boss well ahead of time. Finish up your work.

3. If possible, write some docs and train other employees. I happened to be the only guy maintaining a certain system, so before leaving I made sure the knowledge was shared with the team members, wrote checklists of what to do in emergency situations, etc.

4. I don't know if it's appropriate in your office, but if it is, throw a good-bye party, preferably with some alcohol. When is the next time you'll get to drink with your work buddies? :)

Note that it may seem like a lot of work to finish up projects, write docs and train others. It is. Fortunately, I had plenty of time between the offer and actually leaving my previous job, but that was because the new employer had to do some visa work. Your situation might be different, though, but even if you don't have much time, try to squeeze in as much as possible. It's more a courtesy to your teammates rather than a favor to the company.
386's were the first computers I ever used Linux on. Man.

I will say this much, a 386 sx/16 was a large part of learning learn how to get so much done with so little resources.

It's amazing how Linux was more efficient than windows even then, while the decade of driver drought was being bridged.
The point is fairly apparent. As for verbosity, I'm not sure how you would make it request handling less verbose than a single message send.
I am trying to learn Russian, and in communicating with people in the USA who are from Ukraine or Russia, they often ask me "why is X done this way"? So that is why this book is interesting to me.

I'm into retrocomputing so these kinds of retirements always sting a bit.

In realistic long term operations, deprecations don't hurt. I.e. your air traffic control system running on PA-RISC and HP-UX doesn't care that HP-UX only run on Itanium now. You keep running the old software and set up some kind of support schedule to keep the system patched during it's service life through the vendor or otherwise.

You're right in the fact that you'll piss off some people when you introduce a pricing plan later. This can be a very slippery slope and is the main reason why most b2c services don't charge for their software.

Sorry, but don't think you answered anything at all.

From my own experience and anecdata, software development workflow is not as clear cut as envisaged by github's definition of what constitutes "elegance" or "good solution", but by the constraints faced by the development teams and their internal working framework.

Here's the kicker in your reply, retaining the upload functionality (for images, which can be large in the MB size as well), but removing it just for binaries makes no sense to me.

josephmosby: In my comments to your previous article I said that my efficiency in Rails smokes my efficiency in everything else.

Using GMail to Send Email on Ruby on Rails 3.2
With Android you don't have to go through their store. For example I bought one Humble Bundle [1] pack of Android games (which was quite successful) directly from their website. Then I got a link in my email for their downloads and I could install them directly.

> given how few people actually look anywhere else but the play store

I do not believe the truthfulness of this statement, considering how many services get popular outside any app store. Do you think people find out about Twitter or DropBox by browsing the app store?

> you are going to take a hit much larger than 30% if you are not in google play

It really depends on what channels of distribution you can tap into. Some apps are popular only because they get promoted on the play store. Other apps are popular by other means. And no, you don't necessarily need a middleman.

IMHO, Android is much better in every regard, because on Android the walled garden is optional for everybody.

I have used plain binaries of some projects from time to time, a) to test the waters, and b) integrate a small tool into my workflow with minimal effort and disruption to my overall task at hand.

Like I said elsewhere, the fact that they are retaining upload functionality, but only for images and not for binaries makes no sense to me.

Source only distributions? This is what happens more-or-less:

You shouldn't have a change in liability after taking out a mortgage

== To be clear, mortgage is a debt. debt is a liability.

So, if you borrow to buy a house:

Before:

Asset: $10
Liab: $0
Net: +$10

After:

Asset: 100 (purch, 10% down)
Liability: 90 (mortgage)
Net: +$10

So there is no change in asset value.

Leverage however increases the variance of the random walk of prices. You hope/pray the RW has a + drift that exceeds your cost of debt (ie, value grows X% > Y% on your pmt). If you are forced to sell (say, divorce or to relocate) you are going to bear more of the brunt of interim Vol. Over the long run (if you run out 30 years) your just facing the pricing/cost of capital issue.

TLDR Mortages are from a time long gone, where people lived in houses their whole working lives, from 22-52, with the same job, a wife and kids, etc. Then it made much more sense then today, when you need 1-200k to down-pay a 1-2m house (age 32 to 62?) and move/change jobs every X years, divorce is 50% liklihood, etc.

Everything you've mentioned could possibly be a decent reason for this beast. I'd just love to hear what they were. You make something like this for one of two reasons.

1) you've got a lot of spare time on your hands and wanted to test your skills and show your love for a language. Based on the outlandish hello world example (which is useless for most web developers), this is most likely.

2) you had some ridiculous constraints and really absolutely had to build a web sever in objective-c. In this case, a better use case or example would be appreciated.
