Did you read the same article I did? Or at least did you get to the bottom? IMO they seem to be saying something very different to that - eg: > Before you enter the rat race, I urge parents to question what and against whom you and your

I find that Pelican itself can do the non changing stuff, but that it is really hard to find themes or examples that aren't blog oriented. But I'd be keen to hear about the kinds of things MiddleMan etc does better than Pelican fo

Back in the day, IE4 supported both javascript and vbscript. And from memory if you installed other eg ActivePerl (and ActivePython too I think), you could use them as well.

I can't help but nod knowingly :) I was so keen for WinRM support to land in Packer so I could avoid installing cygwin. It was out of the frying pan and into the fire. Native Windows SSH should _hopefully_ solve all this hassle.

Well there is only one way in the standard lib (distutils). But it is so old and limited that practically nobody wants to use it in its vanilla state. The ongoing work to modernise stdlib and to incorporate the best parts of the various alt

No thanks. FONT is listed as "obsolete, non conforming, not to be used" in the HTML5 spec. It couldn't do very much in terms of styling anyway. I would rather keep styles in a reusable cachable resource than bloat out the HTM

Don't get me started on 'gutsy'. Skinny people can be brave too no matter what deeply held stereotypes persist in our fatriarchal society.

Not offended at all. It just struck me as an absurd thing to bring up. The article was about lobsters and the multiple hypotheses on why the population exploded and why/if it might soon collapse again.

Yeah, climate change gets such a bad rap. It's so unfair. Nobody takes the time to get to know the real climate change - the poor thing is so misunderstood. Deep down it only wants to help. /s Why is this a pleasantly balanced art

My flippant answer: Easy things are easier in Django. Harder things are easier (or even possible) in SQLA. But that's not quite accurate either, it's more a case of Django being a bit less work to get started with while SQLA needs

While the 70s produced nearly half of the worst albums list, they only produced one entry in the 17 or so worst songs. I wholehearted agree that "We built this city" deserves its place on the list :)

Jython is still hanging in there, and reached 2.7 this year. I imagine 3.x compatibility is going to require a big effort though. But JRuby has way more momentum and a much larger userbase. But on the .NET side, IronPython is still ticking
