Re:Simple API with Nginx and PostgreSQL on Friday July 26, 2013 @05:43PM (#6110763)
Exactly. Couchdb is preferable to this for so many reasons. The author is effectively using the Nginx configuration language for server-side scripting. The result ends up looking a lot like a bad PHP crud app. With couchdb, the REST API is already built in.

See "A Wild Sheep Chase." It's full of humor.
Re:Apple iPhone 5 US Carrier Comparison Chart on Friday September 14, 2012 @02:08PM (#4523094)
Looks like Virgin has announced their pricing for Australia but not for the US: http://www.virginmobile.com.au/iphone

Virgin's iPhone5 will likely remain a better value than any subscription option mentioned in the article. Unfortunately Sprint (and therefore Virgin) can't get close to Verizon's US 4G coverage.

Re:Dwm.vim : Tiled Window Management for Vim on Wednesday August 22, 2012 @06:30PM (#4419977)
I recommend Golden-ratio for this kind of thing:

It does not take away the ability to do :split or :vsplit or force a particular layout. It does dynamically resize your windows to maximize visibility

I would argue that python-memcached has been replaced as "the de-facto standard" by pylibmc. I'm not sure if pylibmc works with eventlet or not.

Companies open sourcing code is always good. But, I would be surprised if there wasn't already a python memcached client that would suit your needs.
