They can't monetize it enough , which seems like a perfect situation to sell it to someone who will be happy with a lower cash flow point, or spin it off. It's actually surprising to me that big companies are so ready to kill pro

Can you give an example for a thing where with the Django ORM you have to resort to raw SQL?

It may very well never happen, that's a completely possible outcome. We'll see what it does to Python's popularity.

Since it's basically all anecdotal, I'll say my gazing-into-the-crystal-ball educated-guess feeling that Python 4 will make the entirety of Python about as popular as Perl is today if: it doesn't get rid of GIL and at the s

Ummm, does the style and the content of this e-mail / article remind anyone of the random philosophy essay generators? Just googled "random philosophy generator" and there's apparently like a dozen of them nowadays.

Simply as a reference to how biology supports the human society and how biological signals can be gamed for short term benefit, this lecture was an eye opener for me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReRcHdeUG9Y

Some sources hold that the US hasn't ever stopped doing such shenanigans. I wonder what will be thought of articles such as https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/middle_east/iraqis-thin... a decade or two in t

Yes, I get occasional such C++ / C jobs on Toptal ( http://www.toptal.com/#hire-astute-engineers ) - yes, it's a referral link, sosumi ;) The job and the community are nice enough that I don't mind evangelizing

Though it's officially not the same, it's practically indistinguishable, because of the feeling of national identity and common purpose. It's like if you really REALLY wanted to kill someone whom your neighbour also hates, an

It's a very weird stance. So if a country officially trains forces (wouldn't say soldiers) in another country, it isn't like it influences and directs them just a little bit? I see it like directly comparable to what the US

The fact that in certain times there are popular and less popular areas of study, or topics, has nothing to do with the scientific method. At any time, anyone, could posit any kind of idea, like "the Moon is made of cheese", and t

I'd say that Go is a better "better C" than Rust, for already functional C programmers. The syntax of Go is as removed from C as Rust's, and it's more mature. TBH, Rust looks a bit stillborn - too weird to live, too

Oh, another one. Doesn't the fact that there is a new concurrent framework for Python nearly every single month point to the existence of a rather large pachyderm in the room?

Yes, it apparently fixes some problems for some layouts (notably, the German and French ones), but not for others (including my layout...).

Atom still has an inconvenient bug: if you use an European keyboard layout on Windows, one which maps important characters like @ and <> to an "AltGr + something" chord, you will be in pain as Atom uses a lot of Ctrl+Alt+som

Does the description seems like it's a two-pass operation to anyone else? Can anyone with more detailed knowledge tell why can't this be a single-pass "INSERT in a unique index, UPDATE if it fails" operation?

No, the wouldn't. As an ex PP-er (HR), i can say that the major problem in the vast majority of the PPs are that they are literally "too liberal." The differences in how individual members perceive what PP is and should be, a

The one thing which nags me about Rust is the amount of what seem like weird syntax choices, deliberately different from most popular programming languages. See e.g. line 14 in https://github.com/oakes/SolidOak/blo
