   I still use Webfaction for my webapps although since they were bought by GoDaddy, costumers seem to start moving away from it.. But it is quite simple to deploy a Python webapp, they have one-click installers and you can ftp your source fil

   Whether the ${COUNTRY} social model is sustainable is another question. There are plenty of apparently reasonable ${PEOPLE} that argue it is not. ${COUNTRY} = "USA" ${PEOPLE} = "americans" it seems to compile

    I guess it will sell well although I still prefer my 5S's (or the current SE) size..

    I had to move my classes online, so I've been using OBS for recording videos (mainly me talking while I go over the slides ~ 15-20 minutes). The only thing I would like to see fixed on macOS would be that my students could see the mous

    I'm a university professor and since classes are suspended for now, I'm taking the chance to fix some things in my house that were on my todo list. I've just finished putting some cement in some of my bathroom tiles. Regardin

    Been there, done that.. Still overweight though, but not by much (~10Kg). What has been working for me was a change of perspective, i.e., to accept that life is complicated and there's not enough time in one day to do everything I&#x27

    In these kind of things I usually start by multiplying (or dividing) the parameters to get a score (weight=1). Then I sort them, see if they look "good" and add weights as needed. My thinking is that the first result should match

    I use Evernote just like a folder with sub-folders and files in those sub-folders. For instance, I have my main folder, a folder to keep things of my workplace, a folder for generic notes, a folder for personal things, a folder for my month

    You can return a 400 and still return a json payload in the http message body. Maybe is that what the parent is saying?

    I wish I could do that to my students, but I have an average of 120 students on my classes each semester.. :/

    Care to share any other “profitable” ideas? :) By the way, nicely done, some of us do really appreciate family and quality time in front of work time..

    Not OP, but I've heard they used to have a compulsory surf day per week or month, or something like that. Not bad if that's your thing..

    I think it is quite interesting, although I think you do have too much information on the tutorial (too much clicking to do). I think it would be better if you could provide a much simpler example that it would allow people to learn how to

    As with many things, I think the truth lies exactly in the middle! Let me explain.. In 2011, Portugal applied to an IMF bailout. What do you do when you beg someone for their money? You comply! You don't come out for the streets saying

    Well, you can try my "Full Speed Python" book [1]. Each chapter shows the minimal syntax needed for the chapter content, and then it has some exercises to get you going. I use it to teach Python to my Distributed Computing course
