Similar experience. Started on 0.96, used daily until about 2.x and then took a break. Came back last year and was delighted to find most of the API remained stable. Before reading the release notes for Django 5 I was expecting at least a f

I think people just look at the price and assume it must be terrible, somehow. Fast fashion gets a bad rap because of the assumptions about consumer behavior and labor. Almost all clothing is terrible for the environment and for the people

Whatever you do, don't convey your insecurity in your response (as many of these comments suggest).

The touch based workstation has been a concept forever, the technology just hasn't been there to execute it for a mass audience. All these systems need to do is provide enough value to be marketable; there's no reason for tech com

I’m 33 and share a similar experience, except that I’ve found Instagram in particular to be an even better social experience than the old days of IM. I regularly meet people I follow in person if they come through my town, or if I come thro

Conversely, as someone who has spent a majority of their life as a non-conformist, the exercise of feeling comfortable in your own skin can be quite empowering. Not that it's an inflation of ego, but knowing you can convince others of

I'll take removing two screws to access the internals over having the entire thing fly apart when it's dropped on the ground any day. Do you remember removable batteries and cases from the early Nokia days? Even a minor jolt could

This Wikipedia article [0] mentions both, but doesn't conclude. Would be interesting to hear from someone who was actually there to settle it; I haven't been convinced of a consensus either way. [0] https://en.wikipedia

Referencing a micro-framework shows just how out of the loop you are. A better example of a PHP framework is Yii, but you still see tons of ambiguous arrays used because of the lack of expressiveness in the language. Zend is not even a cont

Absolutely false. While PHP has gotten better recently, the language is not nearly as powerful or complete as almost all of the popular alternatives. Up until very recently, something like the Django ORM was impossible to express in PHP. Ta

That's my point. Why should content be the first priority if it's qualifications are not open to discussion?
