Give it time. Moving to a native python DSL will make extending the dependency system more straightforward. Also, if they continue copying the best of Ruby's bundler they will have a way to specify python version/platform specific

The main reason this is better is explained in the third paragraph in the README: Deterministic builds. You can specify target versions in your Pipfile, while your Pipfile.lock will contain the actual exact versions pip installed (even the

This is almost identical to how bundler in Ruby works, right down to the language native dependency DSL, named groups, file name conventions (Pipfile = Gemfile, Pipfile.lock = Gemfile.lock), and deterministic builds. It's identical bec

Kind of an odd post to see on hacker news. As somewhat of a car buff my take away is that this article gives an adequate high level explanation but leaves out a lot of useful details, especially to anyone evaluating 4WD/AWD vehicles, l

Come to Omaha! Lots of talk about how you can't find jobs or culture in small places, and talk of how the big cities are expensive for a reason. That may be true if you're trying to be an actor, but Omaha has a thriving tech scene

After reading this I wondered what accountability measures are in place for board members of the Mozilla Foundation. Many non-profits have elections for board positions where members of the organization or its community can help determine b

Currently developing a Chrome extension I was dreading porting to Firefox. I am glad this is coming. Microsoft is also promising a mostly-Chrome-compatible API for Edge browser extensions. This will mean my extensions for all three browsers

The article asserts Artemis will need to become a MVNO. This would be a large hurdle and one I don't think is remotely necessary. Unlimited data will make Artemis very attractive for fixed home internet service. Also, some small cellul

Fantastic demo and the source code is concise and clean. Thanks.

After writing my comment I went looking for a summary/analysis and discovered how recent the news is. There was really nothing out there. Speed of dissemination definitely trumps ease of reading, so, yeah, I was wrong. The OP clearly

I appreciate the HN desire to link to the source, but as I reader I'd really appreciate submitters link to a good summary/analysis for dense subject matter such as court documents or scientific papers. Ideally they'd chose a

I disagree with the premise. Twitter Bootstrap is a skill in much the same way as Wordpress is a skill, even if its a less significant one than wordpress. Familiarity with bootstrap's internals, its less mixins, their sass equivalents,

Wonder if things like this might cause an issue: http://tommorris.org/posts/2550 Mozilla has always stood for freedom of knowledge, and by extension human rights (so people can access that knowledge). I don't know

I read the article and recognize your closing arguments are much more nuanced than the thesis of the article suggests. I apologize for not making that clear in my post. I still feel the overall point attacking the statistics of income inequ

Calling progressive tax systems institutionalized theft is incredibly clever, and incredibly false. No one who has wealth created it by themselves. You don't print your own money, you don't extract wealth from a vaccum. Wealth is

This is a side show. Whether or not the statistics show rising or falling income inequality is irrelevant. There is massive income inequality. Its trajectory isn't nearly as large of an issue as the status quo, which is pretty dism

Not a lot of meat to this article. "Ra ra, python" with no real comparison to anything else. You could rewrite the article for Ruby or javascript and you'd really just be changing the names of the tools/libraries, the po

I wonder how the trello approach of building more complete DOM elements in backbone prior to insertion, to avoid layout thrashing, would compare to using requestAnimationFrame batching? It seems like RAF might allow the browser to see all t

I agree. They compared the GPU to Intel Iris GPU, but only on certain benchmarks. Seems like the meat of the review was thrown together and they attempt to distract from that with excruciating levels of technical detail.

2 of your 3 red flags can be almost immediately dismissed. A quick search into the mentors will reveal that many of them are indeed highly respected members of their community and skilled developers. Some of the skilled developers have also

Wow. I have some trouble with faces, but that sounds awful. I'm terrible with names and not very good with faces, so those two issues compound sometimes and make me feel like an ass. Once someone adds in some details of a conversatio

I like the concept, but wish this announcement would have come with at least one or two concrete steps taken towards the stated goal. Maybe your experience getting a basic shell working or something similar. At this point I have no reason t

I don't feel `.is_a?(Class)` is ever idiomatic ruby. You should always be coding to an interface, not an implementation. This prevents things like mocks and duck typing, making testing more difficult and adding complexity when you want

I too have been in a similar situation, and it was made less stressful by the #1 thing @incision mentions. Realize that as bad as your company is at building software, it is probably equally bad at other things, like: Recognizing that someo
