The rest of the article is just a listicle of wouldn't-it-be-cool-to-haves, so hard for that to have much credibility to start with

Am I “entitled” if I don’t like a tv show on broadcast tv even though it has ads? Did you watch it for nearly ten years, then make an indignant post ranting about all its flaws because you were tired of ads for the blu-trays or whatever?

That's delightful. Thanks for showing a sense of humor, unlike most of the people commenting.

Feedbin is pretty great. I was particularly glad it was paid, early on, because that made it more likely to actually stay around .

There were many early Python web systems that are still in active development, so I kinda do have to leave someone out. But good call in mentioning Pyramid. :)

My guess is that a person who subscribes to the entry level of a product is more likely to be upsold to something else than a free user is going to even think about paying. I think this is the crucial thing. If you offer a service with w

Truly good products make you want to pay to receive a carrot, bad ones to avoid a stick. Except not getting the carrot free is the stick to plenty of people. so I don’t know what you’re complaining about Given I explicitly said what I

They are entitled like you and I, and everyone, is entitled to good products and not being angry when using them. Sure, if you're paying for it. If not, prepare for all the ways a company is going to try to make the service profitab

And probably has been many times, given how many there are.

Most people don't actually want to pay for things.

People regularly act like asses to them without contributing a cent, either.

Not giving out a service for free is probably the best option.

"Back in 2012", Django was already 7 years old and had taken most of the market share of the first generation of Python web libraries and frameworks. This included that strange beast that was once considered the "standard&

When I run into people like you, I'm amazed this place even lasted a year.

Yes, we have right-wing channers infesting the place, we have a constantly declining level of tech competence in the comments, we have people who never actually read past a title, but it's Ann Reardon's YouTube titles that will

I like how this is flagged, and yet BoingBoing blogspam about this very same video is the top item as I post this.

That sounds like a problem with your heuristic, there. ETA: I once sarcastically said we need a technology so that links here are not described by anything that looks like a title due to all the people who get ridiculously outraged by any

Singular they goes back far enough in English that you can find it spelled with thorn, but of course people here know better.

It's, unfortunately, correlated with people who think they are polymath geniuses because they know C or a Lisp.

It's just a university press release. They exist to wildly overhype every mildly interesting project in hopes of getting attention and support for the institution in question. Now that HN get far fewer "random university student&

Assuming that's even true... And? You didn't ask about relative usage. You asked for a mainstream languages smaller than Python. Lua almost certainly is.

It's actually a reasonably detailed explanation that goes beyond that summary, including into how SMB levels were represented and video breakdowns of the state changes. But TL;DR is a way of life.

To answer your question, someone who doesn't realize he's not part of a debate, but just an example in an argument. Do keep up the histrionics and the half-assed insults as you argue here, though. Those antics will absolutely mak

I did appreciate your capering and prancing on command about the conservative Current Thing. It was a nice illustration of my point.
