I'd like to think Django devs are busy getting stuff done instead of obsessing over the latest tech stack :) In all seriousness, Django Channels looks to be a very good offering to compete with the async real time capabilities Go/

I'm curious what the fine level was relative to the income of the parents, and if the fine was viewed more as a convenience fee than a penalty. I'm thinking if the fine was raised to a high enough dollar amount, tardiness would ag

It's probably more prevalent than OCaml at this point despite it's young age. It builds on top of Erlang/OTP which is quite battle tested and used by several major companies. The community behind it is quite strong as well.

Finding 36 * 44 hours of work a year at that rate is non-trivial, not to mention the difference between 1099 taxes vs w2 taxes you pay as a salaried employee.

What's the theory behind these investment choices? They sound reasonable, and I'm curious to learn how you arrived at them.

LLCs are great to limit your liability, but vary from state to state. In CA for instance, they are very expensive ~$800, but in WI, they are ~$150, and can be done online in less than hour. I believe some states let you create an LLC even i

It's painful coming from the sane and stable ecosystem of backend dev, but investing time into learning JS is very much worth it both for your product, and your career. For a solid foundation in ES5 (still worth learning well IMO), I w

It's difficult to believe that orthodox Christianity is completely evidenced based and requires zero faith, blind or otherwise. If it did, I would imagine it would end up falling into the realm of science, and not religion.

My hands and arms have been in pain for over a decade now from programming for far too many hours. You need to take this very seriously. Most people do recover eventually after rest. Please be one of these people and do not power through it

I have recently started to consider myself a recovering software developer. Much like with alcoholism, there comes a point where the negative physical and social consequences of chronic over indulgence starts to outweigh the positives. It s

Pick anything that's still heavily used today, that has been around for 10+ years, and it's hard to go wrong. The only caveat to this is on the front-end JS side of things. jQuery is still solid, but the language and ecosystem has

Try the PA route. The schools are also very competitive, but less so than for being an MD. Fortunately it's easy to apply all over the country through CASPA. You will end up working as a PA 2-3 years later, with a much better quality o

A lot has improved since a couple years ago. A majority of major libraries have both Python 2 and 3 support these days. I've since started all new projects in Python 3.

This is often what happens when Mongo is used, except now the task of joining and aggregating is pushed up to the application, instead of getting it for [mostly] free from the DB itself. In the process of pushing it up to the app, you lose

Aspera is often used in the film industry to move large video files around. My understanding is their software takes over some layers of the network stack to make sure the pipe stays saturated. http://asperasoft.com/

I've been pretty happy with the ergonomics of the Kinesis Freestyle 2. The fact that it's 2 pieces means it can be adjusted to fit your body and desk exactly which is more than can be said about any other fixed body keyboard. htt

His answer should have been "sales, marketing, and business dev", which is the other half of the equation once you have developed a working product. It sounds like he wants to get others to do all the work and reap all the benefit

My understanding is that this problem was alleviated with index-only scans in Postgres 9.2. Using these, each tuple no longer needs to be visited to check for visibility. https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/What's_new
