I agree with you, actually. I just wanted to cover my bases in the event that there's some composer out there who never played an instrument in their life that I'm unaware of. > I do not think that everyone needs to be a progra

That's a fair point. I went through the tutorial and totally overlooked the rest of the docs (with the exception of the ones that I needed). Even still, I think Two Scoops could be a lot more concise and spend less time focusing on

That's a terrible analogy considering that there is such a thing as musical literacy and it doesn't necessarily require knowing how to play the piano.

Thanks for the reply! I'd love to go more in-depth with my critique. Keep in mind that, while I'm new to Django and Python, I've worked with PHP, Java, C++, C, and Objective-C for years. I'm familiar with writing reusabl

I like the flamewar detector removing the whole story. As PG has said in the past, flamewars aren't interesting and they do nothing but divide the community. Keeping the story on just causes more drama because the users with comments d

As I said in the original comment, I didn't find Two Scoops to be effective. It's woefully indirect and is itself riddled with digressions about third party libraries. I just want a list of what to install and why so that I don&#x

Question for Rails and Django users: is there a site that gives definitive best practices for both? I've actually been thinking about building a thrown-together site for just that purpose. I've tried to get into both Rails and D

I say the same thing about software and hardware patents, though. What incentive will any company have to innovate if they're constantly getting copied? IMO too many people let their emotions dictate their thoughts about business --

Wow! That's fantastic news.

The fact that this is 'news' or a 'trick' to some people says a lot about the current state of HN. IP addresses have integer representations by design! Are the commenters here really so removed from actually doing work

...did they at least tell you beforehand that they were coding in JavaScript? In pretty much any other language, that wouldn't compile, but those logical and bitwise operators are used in multiple languages from C to Ruby.

Boohoo; 1 or 2 Hubots and Ghost blogs might crash over the weekend. If you're as paranoid as you seem to be, you have someone on call to fix this and wouldn't have dared to have put such an untested technology out in the wild.
