And it's unlikely that this will change anytime soon due to the lack on incentives on all sides. Funny as it may be my debit card for some reason has a $500 (unmodifiable) limit on chip&pin purchases, but it has no such limit for s

I honestly think Django was a victim of it's own success. It started as a python (explicit is better than implicit) framework, but with a ruby-on-rails (convention over configuration) mentality. It became too successful too fast and it

This is a great idea. A lot of businesses heavily rely on old versions of open source packages always being available. The one time someone deprecated an npm package, half of the nodejs stacks went with it. edit: Didn't mean to hit rep

I have. I use 1Password for about a year now. But I didn't log out (hence log in) of github since I installed it and as a result it (1password) doesn't know my github password. And frankly nor do I. So my point is valid, at least

It couldn't. That would mean a different thing and would be the abuse of what XML should be used for. Whether something is inside an element or is a property of said element has important semantical meaning. But not just that, with XML
