Internet en el Perú
lupomontero:
En mi caso, me encuentro en Lima, Perú, desde hace casi dos años y mi experiencia (a nivel de conexión a internet) no ha sido buena, de hecho ha sido tremendamente frustrante (y parece que seguirá siéndolo a corto plazo). A pesar de ser una de las economías de más rápido crecimiento a nivel mundial y ser ya la economía puesto 39 en el mundo, en cuanto a velocidad de descarga...

Los macros de Jinja2 pueden ser geniales, pero a veces lo que realmente quieres hacer es un {% include %} con contexto.
Aunque la extensión “jinja2.ext.with_” te permitir hacer:
{% with a=1, b=2 %}{% include “template” %}{% endwith %}
… sigue siendo muy verboso!
Así que he hecho una extensión que te deja escribir:

klinger-io:
There is a lot of talk going on about the endurance and struggle that startup founders go through. How long the hours are, we all pull through and how we are constantly out of our comfort zone. We run startups – we are constantly at the border of our comfort zone. Aren’t we? No we…

Python ‟magic”
This has to be the magic-est Python code I’ve ever written. Didn’t know it was possible to inherit from classes created on the fly (awesome!).
https://gist.github.com/4055485
The code is for making some fields, in several tables, multi-language (I’m using SQLAlchemy). Instead of writing every time whatever_en, whatever_es, , whatever_pt, etc. and a property(…) but just...

Brick es la película clásica del detective curtido y solitario, la femme fatale que es amiga y enemiga, el bajo mundo y un asesinato misterioso por resolver. Solo que sus personajes son adolescentes en secundaria , pero quizas eso sea una gran metáfora de algo o una burla al género.
Mírala con subtítulos, pues los diálogos pueden ser algo crípticos, hasta que imaginas al personaje principal –...

Why does Thor and Loki speak our language?
They don’t. They hear and talk in AllSpeak.
Everybody can understand the Allspeak, although their brains mistakenly confuse it with old English (or whatever language they normally speak).

Migraciones (de bases de datos)
Detesto todas las soluciones en Python para migrar esquemas de bases de datos. Todas parecen exigir configuraciones paralelas a la aplicación, exigen que nadie más toque la BD y/o necesitan comandos verbosos que interrumpen el flujo de trabajo.
La solución más limpia, “South”, es más controladora que la “novia loca”, borra columnas para cambiar su tipo de dato y además que solo puedes...

Si te has asomado por necesidad o curiosidad a intentar aplcar el modelo MVC (o MVMV) a JavaScript descubriste que no solo existe Backbone entre las opciones. TodoMVC intenta aclarar el panorma mostrándote *el mismo* programa (un “ToDo”) en cada una de las frameworks más conocidas.

mirafloresentucorazon:
Lo admito con el rabo entre las piernas: conozco muy bien el Malecón Cisneros, pero casi nada al Cisneros del Malecón. He crecido creyendo que mi bisabuelo Luis Benjamín (1837-1904) fue apenas un poeta celebrado y bien parecido, y aclaro que esa vaga noción sólo ha sido producto de mi negligencia.

How key-based cache expiration works - (37signals) →
The caching is cascaded, so yes a full depth regeneration incurs a DB hit. BUT the next cache hit will incur just one DB query for the top-level object—all the descendant objects are not queried because the cache for the parent object includes cached versions for the children (thus, no query necessary).

@font-face Smoothing in Windows Chrome →
taitems:
You may have noticed the issue in which @font-face embeds rendered in Windows Chrome look mighty jagged. Fixes such as -webkit-font-smoothing barely do anything, so this hack relies on a fairly well known fact about Windows Chrome: putting text-shadow on anything makes it blurry as shit. …
