   Agreed. I also tend towards Save All The Things, because Future Me (or my kids/grandkids!) might feel differently. I'd prefer to err on the side of having too many pictures, than only having a few. We can always cull them later,

   Exactly. I wish I could do something like... Movies.objects.filter(tags__in=['anime', 'sci-fi', 'robots', 'cyberpunk']).exclude(tags__in=['nuns', 'schoolgirls', 'demons',

   I didn't even realize that WAS a feature. Neat. I use Control-Shift-t VERY often, but never thought about this one.

   That's less a fault of our interface devices, and more that the airlines are not in the business of giving us the cheaper fares. ;) I'm sure they'd be happiest to suggest fares that were cheaper than competitors, yet 3x the

   It sounded like the meetings and rigid work hours were troublesome, but the main thing was the boss's constant insults. That's not professional behavior, and should absolutely have been brought to HR's attention. (It makes m

   I agree, Django is likely not the best if you're just starting learning, and writing a webapp from scratch. Working in an existing codebase, with other devs of whom you can ask questions, is a luxury that I was very thankful for. I us

   While that's true, he also tends to write fairly idiomatic Python -- using base data types a lot, list comprehensions, etc, and his comments and overall insight make them Very worthwhile to read -- especially once you're familiar

   Note that "Cannot pay" is often interpreted to mean "Has already mortgaged the house and liquidated all things", not "has an empty checking account".

    I enjoyed reading this. It was throught-provoking, and managed to find words for feelings I hadn't realized I had. But the Stream, mobile applications, and moving images: They all show a departure from a books-internet towar

    How does it compare (aside from graphics ;)) to Eternal Darkness (Gamecube)?

    Oh god. I bought an NES to play Final Fantasy, and it came with Ninja Gaiden. I never managed to beat it, and always got stuck on something like the third-to-last level. Rarely have I played so frustrating a game.

    I've never noticed that before, but it's possible that you both had added functions in different places: foo() ... ; original bar() ... ; added by alice foo() ... foo() ... bar() ... ; added by bob I h

    Wow! I couldn't find an image that seemed to be from there, but when I was looking for it, I found someone's blog with several impressive examples [0]. I really liked the aerial photos of some of the intersections. 0: http:&#x2F

    At the end of that, it asks about whether your server passes "the diagnostic tests" -- but I didn't see a link to which tests it was talking about.

    While that sounds great, I suspect that there are many people with the skill and interest to be professional artists who, if they were spending their days writing code or welding or $JOB, would be uninterested / unable to dedicate reso

    How did you find a subject that you felt you knew 50% about? :-) Given how much I've learned from other people, and the web, I have difficulty feeling like an _authority_ on any technical subject.

    I actually rather like that they pursued civil restitution. If he doesn't pay, I wonder if they'll put a lein on his house.

    Is it? If the drone's flying over my property, over the tree line, and my neighbor shoots it, it'd have to be at an angle where there's nothing directly behind it.

    Agreed. Pour a gallon of milk in a crock pot, heat it to the Right Temp (I forget what that is), add a teaspoon of regular yogurt (for culture), and then let it sit (I forget at what temperature). It's tremendously simple.

    I disagree. Joel's "Don't rewrite from scratch" mantra seems like pretty solid risk-avoidance, given his first-hand experience with that path. The cost to build and maintain Wasabi was surely higher than rewriting as X,

    I believe Github lets one add extended commit messages for merge commits. Most of us (including me) tend to ignore that and use the autogenerated one. It'd be nice if we had an easy option to automatically include the PR's descri

    This is a really good point. Having something where you can see that what you asked is at least in the system, and Nth in queue, helps a lot when dealing with the opacity of tech support.

    Thanks for sharing that. I love his message that, even if you're not __feeling__ the love right now, you can still control your __actions__. I also like his thought that affection compounds exponentially. ;)

    If you have a VR headset, you may as well get a comfy reclining chair too. Or lie down on your bed/couch -- either way, your head can be supported by things that are not your neck muscles.
