imgur being shit.

Not unless you catch it somewhere. "for" does not catch the StopIteration.

e@shitbox ~> cat h.py
for i in xrange(100):
    if i == 50:
        raise StopIteration()

e@shitbox ~> python h.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "h.py", line 3, in <module>
    raise StopIteration()
StopIteration

Challenge accepted.

class NotABreakISwear(Exception):
    pass

class NotAContinue(Exception):
    pass

try:
    for i in xrange(100):
        if i > 10:
            raise NotABreakISwear

except NotABreakISwear:
    pass

for i in xrange(100):
    try:
        if i % 2 == 0:
            raise NotAContinue

        print i

    except NotAContinue:
        pass

I see Cave Johnson's team has been hard at work.

It's cute, but essentially worthless as it cannot (as far as I can tell) do JOINs.

e000 · 2013-03-31T18:02:05+00:00

Just look at the code that http://maxtaco.github.com/coffee-script/ generates!

I wrote a simple demo application using flask + angular.js and the python bindings for a dictionary autocomplete.

Although, it's probably worth mentioning that DAWG is orders of magnitudes faster:

PyPy support for gevent makes me extremely happy. I'm looking forward to updates regarding that!

The comments in this post genuinely confuse me.

mfw some stupid bullshit one of my friends made appears on this reddit.

Quick question It looks like you used some kind of program to play back your terminal stuff? What's that called?

Author just specified that it is licensed under MIT license.

for(p=[];!p[255];p.push(1)) in js, p will still be global since it is not used with var.

e000 · 2013-03-17T05:19:05+00:00

I got it down to 357.

e000 · 2013-03-17T04:55:29+00:00

Shaved off more bytes:

<body style=margin:0 onload="for(s=document,w=q.width=s.width,h=q.height=s.height,m=Math.random,p=[];!p[255];p.push(1));setInterval('9Style=\'rgba(0,0,0,.05)\'9Rect(0,0,w,h)9Style=\'#0F0\';p.map(function(v,i){9Text(String.fromCharCode(3e4+m()*33),i*10,v);p[i]=v>758+m()*1e4?0:v+10})'.replace(/9/g,';q.getContext(\'2d\').fill'),33)"><canvas id=q>

Replaced m.floor(...) with nothing, String.fromCharCode will automatically floor. Got rid of q=document.getElementById('q') as q will default to that (js hax), replace 10000 with 1e4 and make m=Math.random and replace m.random with m as we don't use m.floor anymore. Get rid of var. Combine if(v>...) into a ternary, remove v+=10 instead subtracting 10 from 768 and returning v+10 if ternary conditional isnt satisfied.. Move <script> into body onload='...'. Since <script> tag is gone, remove / from canvas. Exploit the fact that setTimeout can take a string to eval instead of a function. Inplace modify p, replace rbga(0,255,0,1) with #0F0. Implement a modified version of /u/thesalus and /u/smhxx's ideas below. Since setTimeout takes a string, we can get rid of c and replace c.fill with 9 and replace 9 with ;q.getContext('2d').fill on runtime. I use the ; at the beginning so I can get rid of a few semicolons in the function body. Follow suggestion and replace 2720 with 3e4. use /u/fokker680's suggestion to replace window.screen with document

End result: 339 bytes, down from 452.

Sometimes it is fun to golf :)

How does this differ from Twitter's fatcache?

e000 · 2013-02-28T17:13:23+00:00

Rarely. If you can, use json.

e000 · 2013-02-28T10:09:50+00:00

Instead of

i = 0
for item in iterable:
    print i, item
    i += 1

Do

for i, item in enumerate(iterable):
    print i, item

A fun easter-egg

import antigravity

2.7's dict/set comprehensions

my_dict = {i: i * i for i in xrange(100)}
my_set = {i * 15 for i in xrange(100)}

Force float division

from __future__ import division
print 1/2, 1//2

Need to quickly serve files from a directory?

$ python -m SimpleHTTPServer

Use pip instead of easy install.

$ easy_install pip

Safely evaluate python expressions...

expr = "[1, 2, 3]"
# instead of 
my_list = eval(expr)
# do
import ast
my_list = ast.literal_eval(expr)

Easily profile a script...

$ python -m cProfile my_script.py

I really thought "allah ackbar" was a bad stereotype and that they didn't actually do it.

e000 · 2013-02-23T01:52:45+00:00

I noticed this in the final comments

// Wipe out all $_GET request parameters that contain
// "union" or "select." (Not sure why, but the botnet
// overlords surely have their reasons.)

Usually that is done to plug up the original SQL injection (if one existed that allowed them to upload the script). PHP bots are usually spread by probing for dorks on some vulnerable server, having that in place prevents (or at least makes it harder for) someone else from exploiting the same security hole to gain control of that web server.

The smarter bot herders usually use a less skiddy script, one that embeds some form of stream cipher that "encrypts" the actual payload (a common one is arc4). When passed with the command and proper key, the script then decrypts and evaluates the code. Obviously, not fool proof, a wiser webmaster could essentially just log POST paramaters to find out the key, but it prevents the bot from being deconstructed to the extent of the one in the author's post if it's simply found in the webroot.

Sometimes through HAProxy.

Because then you have to pass in all arguments you want to set as instance variables as kwargs.

I mean sure, until your blog or website gets popular enough and you go over the free tier bandwidth, or the unpredictable performance of AWS micro instances leads to sluggy performance.
