Comment on How to get random rows from mysql using django without hurting your server by buffi

Yup, the code assumes you manually create the queryset random_pics.

You will get that error if PICS_TO_GET*10 is larger than num_pics. For me this isn’t an issue (500k+ images), but you can always tweak the value if you want to.

Comment on Cocoa unit testing with OCUnit and OCMock: Mocking out IBOutlets by buffi

Heh, yeah that works as well

I think I like that solution slightly more as well. Seems cleaner than using a custom initializer.

edit: Thanks for OCMock btw. Keep up the good work. I hope Xcode will improve its integration with it sooner or later…

Comment on Getting a torrents info_hash for XBT Tracker using python by dan

I’d propose to use

stdout.write(info_hash.hexdigest())

instead of

stdout.write(info_hash.digest())

There’s a neat little trick that allows you to set outlets without having to create a special init method. In your example you would do the following:

GameEngine *engine = [[GameEngine alloc] init];
[engine setValue:mockEnemyManager forKey:@"enemyManager"];

More detail in a blog post I wrote a while ago:

Comment on How to get random rows from mysql using django without hurting your server by Scot Hacker

On the last line, you’re filtering on a queryset that has not yet been created, so I’m not sure how this could work. I assume you first need something like:

all_pics = Picture.objects.all()
# Followed by
random_pics = all_pics.filter(id__in = rand_nums)[:PICS_TO_GET] # Fast!

Also, I’m getting errors:

“sample larger than population”

even if I turn the PICS_TO_GET var way down. Ideas?

Comment on Migrating Django from Apache to lighttpd using FastCGI by Hector Yuen

I have a question, I am trying to follow your tutorial, but it seems that the rewriting thing is screwing up the urls, eg

http://foo/a

will be rewritten into the browser as
http://foo/pici.fcgi/a

which then django fails to understand, have you ran into issues like these?
