South bay from? My summer gig is in downtown Mountain View and I stay really close to San Jose Diridon station. Looking at the schedule, the train ride can be as short as 15 minutes (SJ to MTV) and the rents here are ~$3K/mo for a 2 bedroom apartment.

Is there a reason for recursive queries not being the first choice?

I had versioning problem to solve recently, and recursive CTE was my first choice (did take some time to wrap my head around but was also performant enough), https://github.com/recipehub/recipehub-service/blob/master/d...

If you have to do it very often, I've had good success with keeping compiled python wheels around.

Ask HN: Resources to build VMs for an Opensource project

Hi,I want build VMs for an open source project (https://github.com/frappe/erpnext). This requires booting a vm and exporting its image. VPS services like DigitalOcean and Linode are superslow. I didn't have much success with Travis-CI as well.My current setup is ansible + packer + virutalbox and it builds quite fast on my local.Is there any vm build service that we should be looking at? $10/mo...

Re:HTML as TeX replacement on Saturday November 07, 2015 @11:56AM (#10525310)
One case where HTML won't work as a TeX replacement is when you have to think in terms on a page. For example, if you're making a resume and don't want it go over one page, it becomes a tedious process to "change CCS, Print preview, repeat".

Re:Git: ignore file lines on Sunday February 01, 2015 @11:44PM (#8982763)
I was talking about local dev install where you can activate postactivate script is run after you source activate or call workon. In prod, you will not be activating the env but running executables directly from the env.

ie, your process manager will call /path/to/env/bin/gunicorn and in this case, you'll have to configure the env variables here (in the process manager (supervisor)) config.

Re:Git: ignore file lines on Sunday February 01, 2015 @11:24AM (#8980467)
If you're on a django project, most probably you're using virtualenv. I had a habit of just putting environment variables in the postactivate script.

I think you can setup nginx proxy with cache. Unfortunately, that's easy only for public files and authenticated requests won't save you much (for that you can also write a small script to authenticate yourself if there's a cache hit).

Re:Celery โ€“ Best Practices on Thursday June 19, 2014 @04:48AM (#7915227)
Has anybody been able to make a priority queue (with a single worker) in celery?

Eg, execute other tasks only if there are no pending important tasks.

As making a policy involves no communication with Amazon, I used to just create a policy on the fly for every upload request that said "allow upload to this specific key(path)". The key would be unique to every upload request. Once the upload is done, I'd just start processing the upload and move it where it belongs.

Thus, in plaintext you'd have to put only your AccessID and a policy which would expire after a few minutes.

You can write a udev rule for that

What are your thoughts on Neal Ford and Stu's Clojure from inside out series?
Re:Linux 3.15 Can Resume From Suspend Faster on Sunday April 13, 2014 @04:02PM (#7582733)
In my experience it is the other way round. I run Linux 3.13 on Macbook pro (Early 2011). OSX takes 2~4 seconds, linux takes ~1 second.
I think that's why when you buy a replacement adaptor in India, they give one with UK plug (which has the three prong). However, even with such an adaptor, I experience earth issues (if put my plugged in headphones around my neck, they shock like eletriculing leashes).
