Re:JSON Feed on Wednesday May 17, 2017 @02:36PM (#14361447)
So, my personal blog doesn't get a ton of traffic, but the one article that gets the most traffic is an article about how to monkeypatch feedparser to not strip about embedded videos.

While not hard evidence, I think it's indicative of the kind of experience a developer has when they choose to engage with syndication.

This seems like a great idea. If it can help even one developer it's worth it.
Re:Show HN: Kim – A Python serialization and marshaling framework on Wednesday April 12, 2017 @04:53PM (#14101649)
I added Kim to my ongoing set of python serialization framework benchmarks here is how it ranks.

Comments on how to improve the benchmark are appreciated.

We developed that flag after the incident I referred too.

Human misery isn't something most companies want to be associated with. For that reason, many companies don't want their ads to run next to content like that. I've personally had to quickly pull ads off a site because of that fact.

We spend far more time consuming content generated by our friends and family then we do consuming content created by media companies. I don't think he could conceive that a company like Facebook could control the means of distribution by providing something that people want more the professional media.

Re:Lark – A REST interface for Redis on Sunday December 22, 2013 @07:50PM (#6952481)
Webdis has more features right now. It has authentication, and it supports things like websockets. It's also written in C.

Lark is written in python and I would argue that Lark does a better job of meeting the expectations of what an API should be like supporting POSTs, and DELETEs.

It would also fit in well with an existing flask project. It has a blueprint that you can mount.

oAuth integration is planned, I am working on it right now. I also plan on making websockets work in the same manner as flask-sockets.
