We need to be communicating this to them, quantifying how their business could potentially be doing better, and offering products that they can spend money on. It's that last part that I think most OSS projects are having difficulty wi

If you like Ruby, Rails. If you like Python, Django. Both are full featured with active communities. The 10,000ft view of each is very similar.

This might be a good time to mention that Django is always trying to raise funds: https://www.djangoproject.com/fundraising/ The really quick turn around on tickets and pull requests is largely thanks to the Django Fel

No, not really. Django is moving to an "almost semver" versioning system. The X.0 releases will be when deprecated features are actually removed. There are still some big ticket features that various people want to work on. These

First thing off the top of my head is tracking engagement etc. Also search? Not many things are simple anymore, especially when you're selling advertising space.

Yes, but there's nothing to say that an interpreter couldn't use the type hinting. Imagine a pypy-hinting interpreter that analysed the code and kept the hinting, it could theoretically JIT it better.

How is it backwards compatible? Was there syntax added to the language in preparation?

That's not a bad idea actually, I'll have a better look at it. Turns out my NAS supports running plex server, and my main samsung TV has a plex client app. I'm loading in all of my library and will give it a go. Cheers.

Australia tax hits again. Seems to be $130 here, but I think that's going to be the rough price I pay for any device I go for. The addition of chromecast is nice.

That looks interesting, but it's out of stock in Australia at t he moment. It does say Intel HD graphics, but does that mean 1080p?

I've been thinking about a raspberry pi for this purpose but I'd prefer something already packaged up (even if it was a pi underneath).

What I'm after is something that can run Kodi (xbmc) which links to a NAS for its media. Running Netflix is a nice to have. What devices are out there that I can use for this purpose? At the moment I have a fairly heavy htpc running Wi

I use the Inbox by Gmail app on iOS and I really love it. I never got into the regular gmail app. Inbox is far better than the standard Mail client for gmail IMO.

Wow, is there any recovering from this? Usually I'm against the internet machine latching onto people that have stuffed up. But you're trying to publicly humiliate a user that just wants to delete her account. I'll be surpris

It's only expensive compared to HipChat which is a subsidised gateway service that leads to Jira. Our company used HipChat for about a year before moving to Slack. Honestly, the differences are not many and any reasonable team could ch

The build server also does deployment. The deployment task positions the secrets for the app onto the appserver.

by jsmeaton 11y ago
I still haven't seen or found a good way to deploy secrets in environment variables. My current practise is to keep secrets in a file on the build server, and the build server is responsible for positioning it correctly.

Yep, and despite promises of decreasing reliance on RNG, the most recent raid (Kings Fall) has more loot randomness than any of the previous end game activities. At each loot point you have a chance of getting loot or not. Fine, that's

I hadn't heard of Prometheus before. We use nagios for alerting/alarms, and graphite/grafana separately for metrics. Would you recommend looking into prometheus as an alternative?

They ordered the downing? That's probably not right is it? I thought the rebels didn't realise it was a passenger plane. I don't get why Russia just doesn't say "yep, we supplied it, but we didn't fire it, too
