Maybe a week or two at the most (I hope) - looking at the slides alone strips ALL of the context off of the talk, and results in serious confusion. I wish he hadn't posted the slides; instead waiting for the video.

Not all ideas are good ideas. Just like python-ideas threads that crop up, not everything belongs in the framework, and some things are better off elsewhere.

I know, I'm a member of python-core, and I was happy with the change. And Django core is here, and listening, and was in the audience of the talk. It's growing pains - and even python-core, despite guido's recent change of mind, is still

From some Rails/Ruby guys (who are also Django people) Rails, and the Rails community gets the same criticism, or at very least the same themes. Python core gets it too, etc, etc. Sooner or later Node.js will get it, and so on. I think accu

I also need to point out: Even core committers here admit there are issues which need to be fixed.
546.
by jnoller 16y ago
I don't think it's that cut and dry - especially talking to all of the core people (and near-core) here at DjangoCon, and even Django core is well aware and willing to change, it's just not as easy as adding commit bits.

For those that don't know, this was a keynote at DjangoCon, and was pretty well received. There's a common theme emerging from everyone that there are some warts, and that they can and should be fixed (both code-wise and socially). Eric's s

Yes, and I hope more people realize this, the Django community is good at this, and in large part, so is the wider Python community. It's one of the traits that makes me proud to be a member of it.

If you want this, you have to get involved either on the dev or the users list, and advocating this. Eric was setting forth a set of suggestions to make things better; but it still takes manpower, which is more than likely missing right now

Well, that was the talk name, so I don't think it's linkbaitish :)

Actually, I was wondering the inverse - if using the cloud is only useful as a technical term rather then using it for some faceless/mindless strategy to a CIO or Manager. Take for example, cloud storage. I would not sell "the cloud" part

by jnoller 16y ago
Here's a thought I've been toying with since reading your reply: I think, as a term passed to non technical or lightly technical end-users, "the cloud" is largely useless. The cloud is not an "end user" feature except in the features that a

by jnoller 16y ago
There; I disagree - if there were a standard API for clouds I might agree - otherwise, it makes sense for internal clouds to adopt the API most convenient for the end-users of that API. Sadly, that might mean something like SOAP, which woul

by jnoller 16y ago
I don't know how much we disagree - except that using the term "cloud based" denotes that your infrastructure is "elsewhere" and your application rests on top of it. It does not, however, make your application "the cloud" - hosted applicati

by jnoller 16y ago
You're right - and that worries me (personally, and professionally). I do think it's time the collective "we" start being a little bit more responsible with the term, so that others might. Otherwise I'm worried we're going to see someone tr

I'm biased; but I suspect that much like "Web 2.0" there is some truth to the "marketing". Web 2.0 saw the rise of user generated content, richer/leaner and more interactive websites and applications. I suspect the "cloud" trend will contin

I don't think the need to consider maintenance and scalability removes something from the definition of "the cloud" - consider the fact that on modern VPSes and EC2 I can spin up new resources within a heartbeat - sure, I still have to thin

by jnoller 16y ago
Completely agreed; which is why "private cloud" isn't as an insane a term as you might initially suspect (as I did when I first heard it). If you have a global company, such as GE running it's own "private cloud" where CPU, Storage and plat

I can't buy that "hosted apps" qualify as "cloud" - that means Hotmail, Yahoo mail and every single rich application on the internet, ever, qualifies as "cloud". We have a word for that - Internet. I think a much more apt - and something mo

This is stunning - as someone who has been trying to find a good, cheap and extensible media solution for my house a box with plex just baked in that also plays blu-rays is a sweet deal in my opinion. Heck, if someone hacks plex onto the ne

Why is being on github a "huge signal" that they care? They're pushing code into the wild, giving it away for free and actively maintaining it - who cares where they host it if the code is good code? I'm getting really disturbed at this "if

Agreed on all counts - but I think this goes much, much further then just getting changes onto rackspace's infrastructure. I'm looking forward to the hopeful rise of clouds adopting the stack rather then building their own :) I got to blog

I'm surprised; I find threads both conceptually simple, easy to explain and criminally easy to use - it's when you start talking about locks, semaphores/etc things sort of go sideways for most people.
