Sure, because software is both an art and a science and draws a lot of comparisons with music where you have to understand the technical theory, the creative and also be comfortable physically playing an instrument while having some level o

Amiga was £399 in 1989 in the UK, which is about £1000 in today's money. I expect they were cheaper in the US, but £1000 is fairly reasonable for a computer.

Wow, this is a pretty ableist take. Deaf people or hard of hearing exist. I've got a hearing problem where I struggle to make out what people are saying on a phone but with a video call I can add lip-reading and visual cues which helps

I thought that as well watching the video, but have you used a PSVR? I've got one and the first minute is always noticing how low res the eye screens are, then as soon as the game starts, I've forgotten and I'm _there_. The 3

China responded because they had already suffered from a previous outbreak of SARS. They probably were aware the risks of a highly infectious disease and possibly had contingencies drawn up for this very thing. The UK had planned for what w

That's interesting because you're right, in English there are different voices depending on the context and who you're talking to. Is it a professional context or casual or if you're supposed to be doing something import

I wanted to write a message to a Swedish relative to say "Happy Birthday" but the literal translation felt wrong. I asked my wife how to say "Happy Birthday" and she said "What you've got there is the right tra

I don't know what speed you drive, but I had wildlife run out in front of me at 70mph (the speed limit). I managed to reduce the speed to about 40 mph before hitting it by which time it didn't do too much damage. Your peripheral

Depends what you mean by other server side platforms. What does it compete with? Node.js isn't a web framework so it doesn't compete with Django, Rails, ASP.Net, PHP etc. I generally consider it a tool for building web services, w

That's currently what I do. Also Django is useful for sketching your requirements out, then once you know what you're building you can move the real-time data retrieval into NodeJS and let Django handle the boring stuff. Not EVERY

No. The term 'web' encompasses the protocols and standards. Generally HTTP, HTML, JavaScript, XML, JSON etc. I have web-enabled weighing scales, web enabled radio, web enabled security cameras. If they were to use a different prot

That's similar to how I'm tending towards. Controllers shouldn't contain the actual business logic, that's for the application layer. Controller -> Application Objects -> Model -> View -> Controller That way,

Have you any experience with uWSGI? Socket.io is good, but it falls back to polling AJAX.

I would always use South, but you need to read the migrations and _understand_ what it's doing. When it gets a conflict (and it will), you need to be able to fix up the migrations.
