simplejson is a simple, fast, complete, correct and extensible JSON (RFC 4627) encoder/decoder for Python 2.3+. It is pure Python code with no dependencies.
simplejson 1.7 is a minor update that improves encoding performance with an optional C extension to speed up str/unicode encoding (by 10-150x or so), which yields an overall speed boost of [...]
In the comments of my post on Erlang Mode for Emacs Tobbe pointed me at the new Distel repository for Distel. I had originally tried to install Distel last year when I began with Erlang but it didn't work. It works now! Here's the deal.
Check out Distel. In my case I'm going to check it [...]
Erlang ships with a quite nice Erlang mode for Emacs. Editing Erlang code is actually the only thing I ever use Emacs for.
Setting it up is only slightly painful. For a default R11B-3 installation your .emacs will look like this:
(setq load-path (cons "/usr/local/lib/erlang/lib/tools-2.5.3/emacs"
load-path))
[...]
Erlang finally has a book out in print again (almost): Programming Erlang, written by Joe Armstrong. The best part of the story is that the publisher is allowing a combo purchase of a beta PDF plus the print book when it's available. How cool is that? I think this model makes a lot of sense [...]
simplejson is a simple, fast, complete, correct and extensible JSON encoder/decoder for Python 2.3+. It is pure Python code with no dependencies.
simplejson 1.6 is a minor update that improves str support for encoding. Previous versions of simplejson integrated strings directly into the output stream, this version ensures they're of a particular encoding (default is [...]
Jameson and I did an interview with Irina and Eddie from PodTech's LunchMeet yesterday at our office. Twenty minutes of video podcasty goodness right here:
LunchMeet: Fueling Creativity with Mochi Media
Before anyone asks about the shirt, it's from the xkcd store (inspired by #54).
simplejson is a simple, fast, complete, correct and extensible JSON encoder/decoder for Python 2.3+. It is pure Python code with no dependencies.
simplejson 1.5 is a major update that provides better Python 2.5 and Windows compatibility, and two new features that control encoding (indent for pretty-printing, and separators for generating optimally compact JSON). See the [...]
Food is cheap in Taipei and Shanghai
Alcohol isn't
US internet connectivity in Taipei is kinda slow and high latency
US internet connectivity in Shanghai is even worse; barely usable
An earthquake in Taiwan can make Shanghai's US connectivity completely unusable for days. Going on 6 now; still slower than dial-up 10 years ago.
The great firewall blocking sites like [...]
We've been looking at solutions for hosting and serving large amounts of (small) static content to a global audience and are currently in the process of evaluating all of the CDNs out there.
One might think that Amazon S3 would be good for this purpose, but it's absolutely not. We tried it for a while, and [...]
MochiAds is finally out the door! There's a pretty good summary of what we're doing on TechCrunch.
For the technically inclined, the UI for MochiAds is built with Pylons, Genshi and SQLAlchemy. The secret sauce is a combination of Python and Erlang code, and we've got Nginx as the gatekeeper. I've got nothing but good things [...]
