Lesson of the day: when in doubt, transaction all the things #sql

@zzzeek in pdb, I see Mapper.configure_mappers called twice, from two different import paths.

@zzzeek Yeah, this test script doesn't error. I think it's all about imports.

@strategiclee ew! Get better!

@zzzeek will try it

@strategiclee oh no! What happened?

RT @lxt: Making yourself vulnerable in front of people is really damn hard.

@markpasc For the purposes of this code, it's just UserBlog, which has the sync_stats property with the blog back_ref.

@markpasc Whoops, just missed it when cleaning up the pasted code (trying to simplify a bit for purposes of the post)

I've updated my post about a weird sqlalchemy error I don't understand: http://t.co/VCRMTJwH32 #help

...put it in a transaction.

This nerd advice brought to you by flask and MySQL.

p.s. Anyone remember the msql/mysql wars of the mid 90s?

@kcunning wait what, where?

I may be teaching #python to my mother and daughter this year. Any thoughts on resources? LPTHW seems too nerdy. /cc @kcunning

@anildash Love it. http://t.co/3cq7lDab9N The paragraph about Indian people and social entertainment killed me. And made me think, too.

RT @fastly: @jacobian @littleidea Thanks for the recommendation! @whit537 We can definitely help. :)

@kcunning Wow, that's… wow.

RT @BergiesCoffee: I believe humans get a lot done, not because we're smart, but because we have thumbs so we can make coffee. ~Flash Rosen…

@pixel of course it is.

Oh, my, Anil. I do love your writing so much.

From the latest on "Shushers", people who demand that their movies are enjoyed by all according to their own monastic (great usage, Anil) habits.

>Indian folks get up, talk to each other, answer phone calls, see what snacks there are to eat, arrange marriages for their children, spontaneously break out in song and fall asleep. And that's during weddings! If Indian food had an equivalent to smores, people would be toasting that shit up on top of the pyre at funerals. So you better believe they're doing some texting during movies. And not just Bollywood flicks, but honest-to-gosh Mom-and-apple-pie American Hollywood films.

I can admit that I tend to be one of those monastic types, and I expect it's a bit of a generational thing. I don't like ditractions getting in the way of my enjoyment of a film, but it's not out of respect for the creators per se - I just like to immerse myself in a movie (even a bad one!). I don't think I've shushed anyone (for actual talking) more than twice in a theater ever, but it does bug me.

However, I love Anil's take on this and it's going to make me think more about how I consume films and the like in the future.
