Thanks for the reply. What makes Pyramid better for you than e.g., Falcon? From your comment, it sounds like a lot of the value you've gleaned from Pyramid is based on the framework staying out of your way, so why not use something 5x

I always expected Pyramid to offer some performance benefits over Django, given the origins (taking the best of framework X and Y), esp given that you can choose your own ORM (e.g., SQLAlchemy), etc. However, once you're out of the unr

I agree, but you know what; I think the new branding is worse :( It's a shame, because I've wanted to try Pyramid since I watched their talk at PyCon 2011, but the branding (including the new 99 Designs looking logo / theme)

I don't think it can really be considered copying another company when both companies' logos are basically a Font Awesome icon[1,2]. No offense to either company; their logos are pragmatic. 1. http://fontawesome.io&#x2F

I'm in South Florida on XFINITY and it's blank, but if I view it from my T-Mobile connection on my phone it's not. This is probably a caching issue.

Raymond! OP (but not author) here. I watched a talk of yours at Pycon 2011. I very much enjoyed it. I also very much enjoy how amazing Python is, so thank you very much. I have been super excited for 3.6, because speed is one of the things

I agree. Also, this reads like a list of 2014-2015's fastest growing technologies and trends.

It's likely that people within the organization already knew things weren't going well. So, the bright side of this is that: A) employees can spend the entire holiday week or two with their families, and B) employees can start out

The fact that it's somehow considered an insult to link to a CDN, rather than installing a gigabyte of tool chains that take years to learn, in order to achieve the exact same result... would be the reason nobody takes front end develo

Maybe this is why their net is negative; because they don't allocate money to the right things.

I don't think that any of these dark patterns represent the breaking of obligations by any party. Dark patterns don't represent anything truly sinister, and in most cases they are perfectly legal. They are just bad UX because they

Do you think it's strange that cities need to map nature to prove its economic value? I've never understood the appeal of cities (other than a quick 1-2 day visit). Cities are more inefficient[1], have more pollution[2], have less

Amazon will likely begin competing with many of their AWS customers. Step 1: develop a Trojan horse to gather growth and profitability data (QuickSight). Step 2: roll out home-grown apps to compete with their most profitable AWS customers.

It's not saying exactly what the comments are saying. It is saying, essentially, "The Obama administration opened Pandora's box, and now we have an evil, bigoted, fascist dictator inheriting all of it."

So, Barack Obama's administration has been expanding the drone program, and illegally murdering people from the air, for years. But… It's the next president that we should worry about, pertaining these same drones. The kind of o

I never look at my keyboard when I type, either. I do, however, always look at my keyboard when I adjust the screen brightness or volume, or control iTunes (pause, next, previous). The one exception to this is ESC, and I use it gratuitously

Based on your description, I think your tl;dr was meant to read as, "Banning bags has no measurable benefit."

I was doing this (refreshing). I had the Amazon app open on my phone and the website on my MacBook. I added it to my cart from the app at approx 14:00:01 ET, and by the time I clicked the cart and then checkout I got an error message saying

This is scary stuff. Election "officials" could literally decide these "provisional" votes based on party, and they'd get away with it.
