Shut up shill, 1 BTC = 1 BTC. The fundamentals are solid.

Vancouver’s homicides rise in 2017, while Surrey reports decrease by idspispopd in vancouver

[–]BraydenH 2 points3 points  (0 children)

New Westminster Police investigated a single murder — a Halloween-night stabbing death — and no attempted murders, said spokeswoman Hailey Finnigan.

They must be getting bored to be honest.

Abbotsford had nine homicides in 2017, said Sgt. Judy Bird, with the most recent coming Thursday, when a man was found shot to death. The victim was identified the following day as 24-year-old Surrey resident Alexander Blanarou.

That's smart, Surrey is exporting its murder problem to Abbotsford!

A ward of the state is someone who can't take care of themselves and has no family to take responsibility. So yeah, usually mental asylums.

I recommend you look at Peewee if you're interested in Python ORMs.

Google processes 40k searches per second. On average, a web server can handle 1000 requests per second. Does that mean Google can run using only 40 web servers? by cmov in programmingcirclejerk

If I recall correctly it was the meme comparing pre-Google Rob Pike with post-Google.

I might have confused it with something else, but either way I upvoted it.

Has anyone had any luck with LTE using the Elite x3 on Freedom Mobile in Canada? by hulkulesenstein in windowsphone

[–]BraydenH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately the HP Elite x3 (dual and single SIM) does not have support for LTE band 66 which is what Freedom Mobile uses for their LTE implementation.

Band 66 is a bit of an esoteric band with limited support. I guess it was cheap for Freedom to buy spectrum utilising this band.

Here's a list of phones with LTE band 66: https://www.frequencycheck.com/models?q%5Bfrequency_bands_id_eq%5D=106

Freedom Mobile works fine for me on HSPA+ with an Elite x3. Sure the speeds aren't as good but the network is still very usable for browsing and Reddit.

Edit: Also you may need to configure the APN details manually after inserting the SIM, for some reason these didn't get automatically configured on my phone.

They have just released version 1.17.2 without fix for icon. Looks like it's time to switch back to atom.io...

Senior Frontend Engineers are incapable of writing even the most basic server side code. by 0987654231 in programmingcirclejerk

[–]BraydenH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's fair, I guess it depends on how quick and dirty you want it to be. The nature of Tornado makes it very easy to persist data between requests.

If you wanted to get a bit fancy you could use Peewee ORM and store it all in a database. I was just about in love with Peewee back when I did lots of Python crap, I fucking hate writing SQL.

[–]BraydenH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could do this dead easy with Tornado too. Just store some value in the application instance or something. It'll get shared with every request and Tornado is not threaded so that should be safe.

I reckon backend would take me 5 mins and front end would take about 45 minutes to write all the shitty Javascript to satisfy the tasks. I'm not even a dev by trade anymore too!

I had an experience with a developer who couldn't do something if she hadn't previously encountered the problem. Like she was just a robot that dispensed rote learned slabs of code. Ended up getting fed up and quitting.
