That may well be true, but it isn't really relevant to the paradox. That's a second-order effect which needs to be established statistically, not the paradox itself which is pure graph theory.

Tools like Beaker are finally the norm, so I've high hopes for this improving over the coming year.

But yes, crazy slow alone destroys everything. Typical "fixes" include going masterless, yet there's no standardised distribution methods so you need to invent that yourself. Embedding all files into catalogs, thus turning network overhead into CPU overhead etc.

Not to mention in the insane memory usage client side, i.e. on every single box.

I actually like this a lot... This would replace my whole Service, Data and Repository layer in Asp.Net MVC (DDD pattern).

I suppose i could execute this with EF ( http://goo.gl/yrpver Stored Procedure mapping) and this way, i can still map my table in code (using Code-First)
To be fair, SQL has a syntax that is hard to provide (for example) autocompletion for, as the table comes after the fields, and the field names can be ambiguous.
Receipt management is an itch I've wanted to scratch for many years and I always take an interest in other people's approaches in this space.

My initial reaction here is why you think it's reasonable to expect people to sign up for a service with no information or explanation about you? Given receipts can contain sensitive and important information, there is nothing on the website to convince me that I should entrust you with this data. In fact, quite the opposite.
Unfounded assumption. I'd love to be given the opportunity to maybe live, and have to avoid reproducing, instead of being forced to consider possibilities that may have no basis in fact. If I'm days away from dying, and my only alternative is that I can take a magic pill that means I shouldn't have children, then I won't have children. It's not exactly a dilemma.

While I agree with your broad point, your reasoning here is facile because it assumes reliable foreknowledge. It's possible that you might not knoew that you shouldn't have children until after you've done so and things have turned out very badly; consider for example the administration of thalidomide during pregnancy, which turned out to produce horrific birth defects, or diethylstilberol, which turned out to cause tumors in the daughters of women who took it during pregnancy (a fact which was not discovered until many years after the drug was first administered).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diethylstilbestrol

Is it right to give someone the opportunity to control their own destiny?

Get it wrong and you may be doing the exact opposite, as possibility you seem to have overlooked. Good intentions are not automatically ethical, unless those intentions have a sound probabilistic basis. Tort law is full of stories about people who thought they were helping and who ultimately made things much, much worse.

I agree. XPath and freinds are too low level. Scrapy is nice though to control HTTP/assets download but in fact even this sucks. If you're serious with scraping you must go with a headless approach which also means Python-only doesn't work.

iPhone 4 Black LCD replacement touch screen digitizer
I look for two things when considering configuration tools.

1. How does it handle cross-cutting concerns?

2. How does it handle complex configuration files?

For the cross-cutting concerns I use the firewall as an example. I look to see how multiple projects and modules (that are going to be installed on a machine) can declare their firewall rules.

I'm a Puppet user presently, but a quick look says that Ansible has great firewall support ( http://docs.ansible.com/ufw_module.html ) in a nice tight format, and SaltStack has iptables support in a more verbose format: http://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/ref/states/all/salt.stat...

On the complex configuration files, I usually consider Nginx and how to define multiple SSL certificates, SSL ciphers, load balancer backends, multiple web sites, and rules for locations on those websites.

On Nginx... perhaps I'm lost in the docs but beyond simple installation I don't see either attempting to handle the config files. Is it the case that one should deploy their own config or write something to define the config from templates? I must be wrong on that, but lack of clear and deep documentation on how to configure Nginx would mean I touch neither and stay with Puppet.
>Scrapy supports CSS selectors.

Still far inferior to JQuery selectors.

>Could you plese give an example?

The example I'm thinking of is when I was trying to create a pipeline that would output a skeleton configuration file when you passed one switch and would process and serialize the data parsed when you passed another. It was possible but kludgy.

>But it is a pain to integrate any even-loop based app with another app that is not event-loop based.

That's not where the pain lies. It's more the fact that it has its own weird configuration/setup quirks (e.g. its own settings.py, reliance on environment variables, executables).

>If you don't want serialization then you want a single process both for crawling and for other tasks. This rules out synchronous solutions - you can't e.g. integrate a crawler with django efficiently without serialization.

I don't really want scrapy doing process handling at all. It's not particularly good at it. Celery is much better.

Using other code to do serialization also doesn't necessitate running it on the same process. You can import the django ORM wherever you want and use it to save to the DB. I know you can do that - but, again, kludgy.

>It can't be a library like requests or mechanize for technical reasons - to make crawling efficient Scrapy uses event loop.

I get that. It should have been more like twisted from the outset though. The developers were clearly inspired from django and that led them down a treacherous path.

>It can (and should) be a library for twisted/tornado/asyncio; it is possible to use Scrapy as a such library now, but this is not straightforward; this should (and will) be simplified.

Well, that's good I suppose. I still think that it focuses on bringing together a bunch of mediocre modules for which, individually, you can find much better equivalents. Also, (unlike django) tight, seamless integration between those modules doesn't really gain you much.

>Celery is also not the easiest piece of software.

The problem it is solving (distributed task processing) is not an easy problem. Celery is not simple, but it is GOOD.

>Scrapy is just a single Python process that doesn't require any databases, etc. Celery requires to deploy a broker and have a place to store task results; it is also less efficient for IO-bound tasks.

A) You can use redis as a broker and that's trivial to set up. I always have a redis available anyway because I always need a cache of some kind (even when crawling!).

B) My crawling tasks are never I/O bound or CPU bound. They're bound by the rate limiting imposed upon me by the websites I'm trying to crawl.

C) I'm usually using celery anyway. I still have to do task processing that DOESN'T involve crawling. Where do I put that code when I'm using scrapy?

I haven't mentioned an Ansible Master? I referred to the user running ansible as the controller.

Running local configuration and checking out local state can indeed be very different from having a master. Like I said, master features often include features such as search and service discovery. Checking out state from version control does not have those features therefore the user implements those features on his own with stateless cookbooks/pillars/modules/whatever. The remote checkout is not a SPOF and a master is.

Ansible seems like a cool project... thanks for stopping by here.

One question, though. 0.4 seconds seems like a very long time to query one user/group, though. You should be able to query thousans of UIDs a second, minimum... unless you're using LDAP and you have a slow network or something. You could write a simple C program to query a bunch of UIDs and I bet it wouldn't even take a millisecond to run. So where is the overhead here for ansible? I apologize if this is a dumb question... I am not very familiar with the architecture.

Any (configuration)file can be installed and/or templated with both Ansible and Salt. This includes whatever Nginx has for configuration.

I'm not 100% with both, but I guess you have nginx be installed in some dedicated pillar/playbook and you can have your application pillar/playbook include templated configuration files to be inserted into /etc/nginx/conf.d and notify the service to be reloaded somehow.

You're confusing developers with generic end users/consumers. Yes, Linux has a low market share among the general population, but it's quite popular with people who write code.

For a lot of things it's important to have a decent terminal emulator, a Unix file system etc. Windows has none of these out of the box and even things like Cygwin are a pain to use.
doesn't this article fly in the face of an hn-posted article last week that asserted the suburbs are a Ponzi scheme? One could reason that that these inland cities are growing because they are still in the early stages of the Ponzi scheme.

I live in Europe and I feel pretty confident that American cities will become more like Paris, Rome, London and not less. That means the poor live on the periphery and the middle and upper class live close to the center.

Depends on the car. If you have a tiny engine, then it will use large amounts of fuel at high speeds. If you have a large engine, it will use less. My personal experience:

Peugeot Partner 2.0 HDi - 6-7l/100km when driving in city traffic, 12-13l/100km when driving at 140km/h,

Land Rover Discovery 3 4.4L V8 - 15-16l/100km when driving in city traffic, 9-10l/100km when driving at 140km/h.

Basically your engine should stay below 3000rpm - if you have to keep it at 4000rpm just to maintain a certain speed then it's too much for the engine and it's not being efficient.

> this is on top of the other obvious benefits of ORMs, such as abstraction over my storage engine. I can write a single 'query' that be be executed against a variety of SQL servers, Salesforce, MonoDB, an in-memory cache, or whatever else I want to do with it.

This is a trade-off, not an obvious benefit. In programming to a lowest-common-database API, one loses the ability to use any actual features of the specific database technology being used.
It would be very interesting to know what proportion of projects need to smoothly change the underlying DB technology (it is of course debatable whether ORM's actually let you do this), vs what proportion find themselves hampered by the less-powerful-than-SQL database manipulation API offered by an ORM.
This[0] was an enlightening article when it comes to selecting a chair for everyday use.

Whats more important is that you need to go to your general practitioner and get checked up on what is really bothering your back rather than making assumptions.

Secondly go to a experienced physiotherapist,(only if your general practitioner has said you should go to one)she/he will figure out what is wrong with your back.

Lastly, make health your number one priority, if your body is not 100% you won't be able to be as productive as you want to be. Simply perform exercise and eat nutritious food, it should help.
