Error thrown:pymongo.errors.OperationFailure: command SON([('authenticate', 1), ('user', u'root'), ('nonce', u''), ('key', u'')]) failed: auth failedSteps to solve: If using global pymongo, update it. sudo pip install pymongo --upgrade If using pymongo from lib folder Fix the version in requirements.txt, as of today, latest version is 3.0.3, you can check it out from here. pymongo==3.0.3 Upgrade the packages: sudo pip install -r requirements.txt -t lib/ --upgrade Redeploy. This will hopefully fix your heroku and Google App Engine deployment with pymongo.

Error it throws:sqlite3.ProgrammingError: You must not use 8-bit bytestrings unless you use a text_factory that can interpret 8-bit bytestrings (like text_factory = str). It is highly recommended that you instead just switch your application to Unicode strings.Solution was easy; add this line for assigning text_factory. It converts strings into unicode objects.conn = GetSqliteConnection(db_path)conn.text_factory = lambda x: unicode(x, 'utf-8', 'ignore')Thanks to SO again. (PS that post is extremely useful for python encoding/decoding.)

Yet another problem that made me lose 3-4 hours.Well, I usually use the same code across my application, I have my basic scaffolding. It only gets better in time. However, sometimes I forget to change the package names, XML namespace definitions etc while copy/pasting. I thought this is also same problem. But I couldn’t find anything.Surprisingly, this occurs after you submit the application to the play store.While application X is installed, Google Play Store does not let another application with the same provider to get installed.Error it throws:"Some application" can not be installed. Try again, and if the problem continues, get help troubleshooting. (Error code: -505)Troubleshooting did not help me, in product forums they only recommended cleaning up cache of google play store app etc. But this problem is not related to neither your phone nor your play store application. It persists in different operating systems and different phone models. What you need to do is simple, follow...

I have been using Disqus in order to handle blog comments for a long time. I was also using it when I was with Ghost. It’s a great and good looking way to handle comments. It makes your blog more mobile. It has one downside which is that the comment box is iframe so I don’t think it’s good for SEO.Disqus’s own help center: Why are the same comments showing up on multiple pages? JavaScript configuration variables With this light here is my disqus snippet in my jekyll code:<div id="disqus_thread"></div><script type="text/rocketscript"> var disqus_shortname = 'YOUR_USERNAME'; var disqus_identifier = '/jekyll/2015/08/24/jekyll-disqus-same-comment-everywhere/'; var disqus_url = '\{\{ site.url \}\}\{\{ page.url \}\}'; var disqus_title = '\{\{ page.title \}\}'; var disqus_category_id = '\{\{ post.category \}\}';Trick is assigning a unique identifier to the disqus_identifier javascript variable. In our case page.url is pretty unique. And also we are not s...

Today, PgAdmin is frozen as usual. I’m not blaming it of course, it’s because my Rasberry Pis are so slow, they can not handle some broad SQL queries after some point they become responseless and PgAdmin becomes frozen.Today it happened again; so normal up until now; I went to the Task Manager of Ubuntu to kill that bad boy but see what I saw:IN YOUR FACE

This secret recipe makes your apps work on pre-lollipop devices. You may be developing on Android 5.0+ and you would not realize that your app is breaking at the start for other versions of Android which are lower than Lollipop.Trick is that Apps with lots of dependencies (well they don’t have to a lot but if you have google play services as dependency which is needed for admob, you should apply this method) need multidex enabled for building. Otherwise they work fine on L devices and fails at the startup for pre-L devices.[Android Twitter Crashes with Appcompat v7 on API 19 and lower]https://twittercommunity.com/t/android-twitter-crashes-with-appcompat-v7-on-api-19-and-lower/34121Building Apps with Over 65K Methodshttps://twittercommunity.com/t/android-twitter-crashes-with-appcompat-v7-on-api-19-and-lower/34121https://twittercommunity.com/t/noclass-found-error-in-android-studio-lower-than-5-0/33518/3Why am I still getting java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: android.support.v7.appcompat...

Use this command to fetch the application logs from Google App Engine:appcfg.py request_logs --num_days=210 --include_all Documents/path/to/your_gae_app/ mylogs.txt --oauth2 Alternatively you can write a handler by using logs API.https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/install/logs_export And second alternative you can analyze logs by piping them into BigQuery.https://console.developers.google.com/project/_/logs
