ipdb/pdb gotcha: `c = 1` calls the command continue, rather than assigning. Solution: `!c = 1` (using ! in general is wise).
miniblog.
Git works well, but I've never seen a dev say "Since $GIT_HOST is down, just push your branches to me directly." Feels fairly centralised.
I look forward to the day that not storing data on versioned file system is an optimisation, not a default.
It's really hard to Google for status code services. Eventually found https://www.statuspage.io/ http://t.co/axjisEOQJk https://github.com/twilio/stashboard
Cripes. `UPDATE my_table SET a = 5;` is the same as `UPDATE MY_TABLE SET a = 5;` unless you quote the table name.
I'm impressed with Ansible. There are fewer concepts to learn to get up and running (compared with similar tools I've used).

I'm averaging 3 blog posts/year. It's still a hugely worthwhile activity.
Using Travis CI with Jekyll is a fantastic way to find build errors. Otherwise it's easy to use a different Ruby version that doesn't error.
Blogged: Lisp Is Just Syntax: http://t.co/Q39SBSxYTX (#lisp, #python and a ridiculous transpiler!)

The biggest problem in modern cryptography is usability and uptake.
"Regardless of the value of the DEBUG setting in your configuration file, all Django tests run with DEBUG=False." Wise, but surprising.
It's a _major_ undertaking to build a modern web browser. At this point, it seems unlikely that we will have new proprietary engine. Good?
I don't understand long legal disclaimers at the end of emails. If they're of legal worth, why d[o|id]n't they occur on letters?
If you're using Django with nose, `python manage.py test -v 3 --collect-only` is great for seeing where nose looks for tests.
"Unknown error, please try again". Argh, the perennial problem of black box cloud services.
A fun part of writing a lisp is snaffling great ideas from other dialects. http://t.co/cFBaa7vLke
Woah, new Twitter web UI. Most of the time I end up using third party clients though.
I suppose it was inevitable, but I'm still taken aback to learn about password cracking as a service: https://www.cloudcracker.com/
