I agree, I always get w3schools at the top of html/js results. I actually installed a Chrome extension to allow me to manually block google results from certain domains, to prevent me ever clicking on a w3schools link. It just hides th

We've done the opposite. After ten years in operation we've only just begun to add html parts to our emails. Its just easier to render plain text, and no one has the time to be spending hours templating and testing emails, we&#x27

Why would you need case insensitivity in URLs by default? I can imagine you might in the odd view here and there, though in ten years of django usage I don't think I've needed to do so

Yeah. We switched to CITEXT for email addresses after 10k users, and had to go through quite a complex process to merge about 30 user accounts that had signed up duplicate accounts with email addresses varying only in case). It was a major

Oh also, we used a CITEXT field for storing email addresses. Store the case the user registers with, and use that for sending comms etc, but uniquify and match (on login etc) in a case insensitive way.

That's definitely controversial, and in my experience, just plain wrong. Many, many users sign up to a service with john.doe@example.com and get confused when they later try to log in with John.Doe@example.com. we had to add a fix for

Depends what's on camera and how smart your software is. A full wavelength of audible sound is between a few centimetres and a few tens of metres. If you have a few objects in scene at such known distances, you can calculate how far ou

This is excellent: > During Prohibition the winery sold grape juice in small wooden barrels. A label was placed on the barrel giving explicit instructions on how the juice would turn into wine if precautions weren't taken.

Is that true? In NZ a digital signature is a legal signature. You dont have to print and scan it, just type your name. Legit signed.

Is it really more convenient? Coordinates make sense to everyone and every map tool can understand them. W3W phrases are useless unless you happen to have the app. Also, there are a few amusing clones... http://www.what3fucks.com

We'll find a way though, after some pain. Maybe we'll just become less mobile, and be okay with that. Denser housing and more distributed community hubs seem the obvious solution. The harder question is how would you get from here

GDAL has a vsipreload.so which you can preload to replace all the libc file handling functions with ones that understand special filesystem paths, like /vsizip/path/to/zipfile.zip/myfile.csv We used it for years to

Ha. My 14 year old can have a smart phone when she gets a job, saves up for it and pays for it herself. That'll teach her to value it (and not lose/smash it like my 15yo mentee keeps doing.) It also means she probably won't h

Nonsense. Use six, use tox for testing in both, easy peasy. They're not that different. Plenty of libraries do it. No reason scripts can't too. Plenty do. Specify a "/usr/bin/env python3" shebang if you wa

A week! It took me six months to port our main app from django 1.5 to 1.8. Though our app is huge, and most of that was migrating from DRF 2.3 to 3.3.

I'd love to use this, but I can't afford for Google to block my Google account. Yes, this is not really tied to my Google account, but would Google associate me with it and delete my account anyway? I think they might. For that re
