In the early 90s I (and a friend) wrote a text adventure game based on the Punk scene at the time. It was my first piece of software that I released. This was a period of time where I used to print and keep my emails. This was done on TADS,

except "that" laptop which was a Toshiba, all the rest of them were Thinkpads. Maybe that's it? My requirements for "just works" change over the years, and maybe at times I was a bit lax (I don't really need a

This makes me feel my age... I ordered and got that free CD, and "tested" it on my windows XP laptop, with a dual boot, because this is just a test, right? I never booted XP again on that laptop, or any other since. For the past

I don't know how to specifically do what you want with certainty, but years ago I've managed to fix the unreadable LCD on my Roland MC-505 by baking it's board in the oven at low temp for a period of time. Look it up, it&#x27

Leonard's voice was a presence in my life since I was a baby as my mum adored him. I am very fortunate to have got to see him three times perform. Each was a mind-blowing experience.

I also meant it in the most literal sense - they really treated us like partners, gifts, dinners, etc. And we (and I'm sure other like us) technically helped them build the ads api, innovate on it, bring them insane amounts of ad spend

1. What hate? 2. Saying all SaaS are wrappers is a wrong assumption. A service company provides a service of sorts via the medium of software. Take a CRM, it's a system to aggregate contacts, leads, deals etc. and their interaction in

That's all very cool. As an aside I always remembered the bacon number was between Bacon and anyone else, Hollywood actor or not. Keeping it withing Hollywood makes a lot more sense.

To me names are important. I have to find a good name for a project or business before I start. Or at least good-enough. This is a great naming idea. I love it.

Yes, it is HTML, and it loses all the benefits of HTML, by adding complexity of code and loss of structure. I'm uncomfortable with HTML and JS obfuscated by Python like that. I'm not using the word "verbose" as a charact

I guess it's a personal preference. I tried it, and it looked a mess in my eyes. Take a strong tag: Div( "If you click '", Strong('Accept all'), "', we and",

I just don't see how a project beyond a small website can benefit from having it's front end generated in such a way. Once you grow beyond the "website" with simple interaction your front end becomes it's own univer

Regarding 2, I completely agree. A good existing project is no argument against new projects in the same space. It was more an observation (and very current experience of me reworking a fastapi project to Django+ninja because it simply grew

First, I welcome any project that enriches a software ecosystem, and this project no doubt does just that. However, I have two points which will deter me from using this (or any python->html/js framework) in a commercial production

This is a very practical solution. If this was StackOverflow there would be comments to mark this as the correct answer.

Small price to pay in my opinion. How often will that happen vs how often the database is used. Migrations like that can be done incrementally over time. It's a solved problem.

I regularly find the hybrid model is a sweet spot. I keep core fields as regular columns and dynamic data structures as JSONB. It brings the best of both worlds together.

You have just improved my life significantly. Thank you. I filed it under "good things we had but were taken away", and now it's under "Great things we have". For future travellers: It's not enabled by default

I was referring to scalp acupuncture as a maybe-potential-who-knows remedy to the Aphantasia, but it's a projection of it curing my smell/taste in minutes, not a "scientific assertion". It's not the same as describ

As someone outside the spectrum completely, I can sympathise with your lack. I find you experiencing both sides fascinating. But the reason I replied is that my wife is a Chinese medicine practitioner, and also treats using a not so common

I used to manage a CD-rom shop in the mid 90s. We sold new titles and bought back software from customers to sell again as second hand. It was quite popular at the time. Not to mention I had access to a 486dx computer, later with voodoo, so

Maybe this will unconfuse: It doesn't matter as long as you can scale with your operation both in capacity and financially. That means that if you decide to use AWS, Google cloud, Azure, Oracle Cloud (hihi) or bare metal on Hetzner, yo
