HTTP Streaming (or Chunked vs Store & Forward)

The standard way of understanding the HTTP protocol is via the request reply pattern. Each HTTP transaction consists of a finitely bounded HTTP request and a finitely bounded HTTP response.

However it's also possible for both parts of an HTTP 1.1 transaction to stream their possibly infinitely bounded data. The advantages is that the sender can send data that is beyond the sender's memory limit, and the receiver can act on

System Design Cheatsheet

Picking the right architecture = Picking the right battles + Managing trade-offs

Basic Steps

1. Clarify and agree on the scope of the system

• User cases (description of sequences of events that, taken together, lead to a system doing something useful)
  • Who is going to use it?
  • How are they going to use it?

Print to the console in Python without UnicodeEncodeErrors 12 Jan 2014
I can't believe I just found out about this! If you use Python with unicode data, such as Django database records, you may have seen cases where you print a value to the console, and if you hit a record with an extended (non-ascii) character, your program crashes with the following:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "foobar.py", line 792, in <module>
    print value
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xa0' in position 20: ordinal not in range(128)
