Congrats on releasing 1.0! I had used an old version (0.12) and liked it very much. Also well done for not increasing the 1kb size. Actually I liked it so much I'd started writing a non-trivial app to use as a tutorial ( https:/&#

Looks nice: agreed. Feels nice? Try running an Electron app (for example atom or VS code) on a 4gb ram celeron (like the one I have at my 9-5 work) and I can guarantee that you won't like the feeling :/

Actually no. Electron is the hipster/trending one. Unfortunately it creates monstrous applications with hundred mb sized binaries and gb memory requirements. Thanks but no thanks. On the other hand Delphi and its open source brother La

Well, as I write in the article, Django 2.0 was a turning point to me. I was always using Python 2.7.x and was really happy with it but, since Djano 2.0 does not support python 2.x anymore I have been forced to move to Python 3.x in order t

Because lazarus (and its commercial alternative Delphi) are excellent tools and probably the best way to actually develop GUI applications right now (see the related discussion here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=123

Here you go: https://github.com/spapas/lunix Notice - I tried compiling it but was not able to (and I don't have time to research modernizing this code).

I'll try adding it tomorrow to github (it's a little late here right now). In the meantime, I'd like to also recommend the book "Linux Device Drivers" that fellow commenter magpi3 mentioned.

Ha ha "scull" ringed a bell and after taking a look at the cover of the book you mention (it's not in the pdf you provide but can be found if you search for images for Linux Device Drivers oreilly) and see the horse ... I tot

Replying after checking my notes from the University (NTUA): Before around 14 years (~ 2004) one of the excersies we had in Operatin Systems Lab was to actually implement a char device driver for Linux called ... lunix as a kernel module. T

I totally recommend Sam's Teach Yourself C++ in 21 days by Jesse Liberty (I found it here http://101.lv/learn/C++/ ). It's a great book to learn not only the basics of C++ (which, since it is a rather old

Thank you! Yes, I agree that the article fits better to the django category than the python one so I moved it, thanks for the heads-up!

I used it to compress a Lazarus (open source Delphi clone) executable. The results were great (executable size reduced by more than 50%, iirc from 2 mb to around 800 kB). Offering a sub MB executable in the era of 100 MB electron apps is to

Hello, I agree that previous versions of django-autocomplete-light were cumbersome to use. However, since version 3 most of the magic has gone away: 1. Add a class-based-view that returns the search data (inheriting from autocomplete.Select

I have a different philosophy. If some functionality is offered by a good-quality (supported, good docs etc) django package then go on and use it. If you want to be DRY you shouldn't re-implement functionality that others have already

For me yes, using shell_plus even with the plain old python shell is worth it because it automagically imports most of the things you are going to need and saves you a lot of keystrokes (it imports all your models and some things from dja

Actually, I remember some years back that when I needed a REST API for a project I started with django-tastypie because back then (circa 2012) was more popular than DRF. Unfortunately, I did not have a good experience with it (too long to r

Interesting list - we have a lot in common (however I prefer rq vs celery because of ease of installation and configuration) For django-extensions are you sure about ipython? I install it with pip install django-extensions and nothing else
