My face when I came back 48 hours after peacefully finishing the Tenpenny Towers mission.

As you enter the building, when facing the lobby, to your left you will see a door.

All the dead bodies are in there.

Yeah, Roy sucks.

I was especially brokenhearted when I saw Herbert "Daring" Dashwood stripped naked and mutilated in the basement.

I'd like to see more of his idea on opt-in streaming API.

Totally dig it.

Not having Upstart on CentOS is not an excuse, there's always supervisord.

For small-ish shops where they only have < 10 developers and < 30 machines, fabric/capistrano + git is enough.

Why it's not good?

I like evented/callback-based API because it's an old and mature concept.

Desktop GUI uses it.
nginx uses it.
haproxy uses it.

Man... why you have to say things like that?

SQLAlchemy, on its own, as a tool, have plenty of good merits. For shops that already have Python-ok policy, it's a god-send. I use it all the time for DBA contract work.

If i was your manager, I'd ask how did you do it.

When you tell me that everything is scripted, I'd ask you detailed questions about false positive, false negative, and the script's general workflow.

If the script is safe without extra double-checking hassle, I'd make the script part of company's workflow, promote you as the scripting guy, change the reward incentive, and re-purpose the rest of people to doing something else.

This is fairly common in startups, not sure about corporate. You earned it, don't feel bad.

I keep seeing people evangelizing for multiprocessing module.

Am I the only Pythonista that keep having problem with pickling error when using multiprocessing module?

I use sqlalchemy+pymysql for production, it works great. Handles utf8 well, much easier to install, and based on hotshot profiler, pure python driver is not a problem.

I was you 10 years ago. Well sir, allow me to help you *wears top hat and monocle*

There are too many things to learn, so you will need to make choices so you are not overwhelmed. Example: windows or linux though it seems like you already decided to learn linux oriented admin.
Start with doing, as others already said. You are a working web developer, not a starving student, so you do have income. That said, don't feel bad about investing in your tools. Get yourself a virtual instance in the cloud. I recommend Amazon Web Service EC2 or Linode. Sure this cost you money, but you will be motivated to learn. Knowing these tools will also open doors to DevOps related job postings.
Once you have an instance... you will want to learn about firewall and ssh immediately. So start there! Hack it, google it, do whatever it takes to secure your machines so that spammer can't use your box to send emails. If you screwed up and locked yourself out? Who cares! Delete that machine, spawn another instance, and start over.
Once you get those things sorted out, they become your gateway drugs. You will want to know about resolv.conf, /etc/hosts, /etc/network/interfaces, etc.
Don't forget to peek around Fabric or Chef. Editing things by hand in production gets old fast.

Have fun!

This is great. I can see this as fantastic teaching tools for my wife and sister, they've been wanting to learn to program for a while but command line tools kill their interests real fast.

I will echo the feedback that others already gave: The whole jquery ui window metaphor makes this tool looks dated. Fixed panes and tabs are definitely better.

GUI programming, just like game programming, is a great gateway drug for newbie. I had great success teaching my wife basic database administration through Sequel Pro (mysql GUI app on OS X).

Same here! When 286+DOS came out, I was like: What is this inferior machine doing in my house...

Until Prince of Persia came out.

Yeah, there's a small alley in that town, I throw a bunch of mines around the entrance.

Then I would bait deathclaws to chase after me, jump over the mines, and boom.

But what's even funnier, is when I failed to jump properly and exploded myself.

I have similar interest,

When I do DBA contract work, SqlAlchemy is an invaluable tools to perform bulk data manipulation. I don't use the ORM part, but I use its query builder (select(), filter(), order(), etc.) like mad.

Is there similar thing in Lua?
