My current app stack is a React+fluxxor frontend consuming a django-rest-framework driven API. The frontend/backend live in the same repo for simplicity, but are otherwise separate projects in their own subpaths that share nothing. For

This Bill has brought the grassroots out of the soil, myself included - lots of the people I've been working with were not politically active until C51 was tabled. The NDP win in Alberta is making people realize that change is possible

I put in volunteer time helping with handing out information and educating the public (as well as collecting petition signatures / mail your mp letters... fat lot of good that did). This is an accurate description of what I experienced

Not to mention, it's beautiful. Not everything needs to have a practical use.

I wonder how much of this is solvable through re-engineering applications to assume high latency - preferably also adding in a fairly heavy dash of decentralization at the same time.

Flask is much more suited to my ideals (simple libraries over monolithic frameworks) and I started my current project out on Flask - but I ended up going back to Django out of pragmatism. My backend is a fairly simple data store accessed ov

This has been fixed as of this morning. Not sure what channel worked, but it was a welcome surprise to wake up to! I was not expecting such a speedy resolution.

I second this. I am getting happier by the day with my react client side architecture and am now casting an eye to my server side (currently a Django-rest-framework api) to determine what the best fit there would be.

I've been following RethinkDB on HN for quite a while now and have been eagerly awaiting them to make a production-ready statement. Everything I have read has sounded very promising and I am excited to try it out!

What was the more polished version you saw? I've been really interested in Dasher for quite some time but the last time I looked it appeared to have stagnated in terms of progress

I am also wondering how much scope there is for writing generic interfaces that delegate to UI specific components as needed. I haven't done any native mobile development before so I'm not sure how possible this will end up being,

Sushi in Vancouver or Tokyo? Mainstream. Boise, Idaho? It's all relative to where you are. Eating insects here is currently novelty. But in many parts of the world, it is a part of daily life.

Also would love a source on this. I have been using Car2go more recently.

DRF brought me back to Django after a foray into Flask-land. It's a pleasure to work with. Thanks for your work, and to the backers who funded the latest development!

We are currently facing legislation (Bill C-51) that, when passed, will do quite a number on our democratic freedoms. :(

I agree completely. The whole system of states is based on violence, past and present. Sadly I don't see it going away any time soon.

That is my highest desire and I did look around for some bindings, but I think it's still early.

I was debating over trying out Unreal vs Unity last night. Unreal was looking more capable in its free version than Unity 4 Free, but I would prefer to learn C# over C++. This release makes it an easy choice to give Unity a whirl!

I've been really interested in this area. Is your side project online? Even if it is just made up code, I'd love to see what you've been thinking about. Cracking this problem could bring about an entirely new era of debate &a

I wonder if this is part of a feedback loop, where the gradual creation of peanut-free areas leads to more severe peanut allergies

Really sad to hear that the project has gone down the tubes. It was one of the most exciting open source hardware projects I've ever seen. I think something like this is vital, and I hope that someone is able to pick up where OSE left

The briefest explanation is that imperative is a list of instructions describing how you want something done. A declarative approach describes what you want done. The typical example for this is SQL - you don't tell an SQL database how
