Pylons was a long time ago. Definitely Python 2. The era just after (?) or maybe same as TurboGears and CherryPy.

I too often think of things as frozen in time two decades ago.

Going to guess they explicitly map the database tables (and do it all as read-only perhaps) to allow admins to view and report on data from the API.

I always wonder about signals. I found them incredibly attractive from a code cleanliness standpoint, but every team I’ve joined avoided them either because they got burnt by them or because of superstition from blog posts by people who got

Well, my career started in 2000, so maybe that would be better. Just imagine a shop entirely staffed by white kids quoting whatever the zeitgeist had spat out last to each other while boiling over about trying to make a static website look

I kept a Windows machine alive and kicking up until 5 years ago (Windows 7) and the last few years were all due to fear I would some day run into an issue I needed HomeSite to be able to fix. I lived in that app for so long, spent so much t

I can’t help but see this as a productivity illusion. “Hey now I really can work on three things at once”. Then someone asks you a question a week later and you have zero memory of doing anything with that project.

Now that's speed dating.

The same is true of long hair supposedly (hair displays a record of illness). Does someone's attractiveness inherently change after a crew cut?

Or they were so well targeted they didn’t even feel like ads. Dunh dun DUHN!

This feels like the early days of SEO over again. There are no agreed-upon metrics yet, so you can sell all manner of snake oil. Hell, some of it might even work!

This is stupidly cool and exactly the kind of thing I love. My only complaint about these kinds of posts is while I am not currently in the market for a Birduino (ok, I totally am but am in denial), I always wind up adding at least one of t

What does weight affect? Breast size? Hair color? Cultures create an archetype of attractiveness and then everyone feels like they come up short. Tale as old as time.

The night I met my wife I had just bought a whole case, so the six pack thing probably works too.

Would be a bit more interesting if you were in the dating pool, but it sounds like you’ve already wived.

I don’t think the title is inaccurate and robbing Peter to pay Paul isn’t the military flex Pete Hesgeth may think it is. Anyone who has ever slept under a too-small comforter knows how this will go.

Think Ukraine is the reason the US is low on missiles? Do the numbers actually support that? The numbers don’t seem to support that. From a very cursory search, offensive missiles seem to be around 2:1 Iran. And that’s just raw numbers; som

That fools running a country who turfed out military experience for loyalty were completely blind to what they were doing? I had no idea that running out of missiles was a distinct possibility until Spencer Ackerman started beating that dru

This creeped me out a little, simply because about a week before Anthropic started using the name, it’s what Claude suggested for the harness we had built and all of the command line instructions look like “dispatch noun verb”

It is a rough go for a long-time reader, the bragging tone of six figure engagements and “whales” (i.e., suckers) keeping the game going. The statement that what he is doing is what the reader will soon catch up to feels like someone who ca

And what he has in someone like Pullings as the details/ implementation man for Jack’s C-suite visions.

It’s that last line though. All three sound like uncharitable descriptions of the literal job of a fiction author. And all three have implied or explicit negative connotations.

Well Jack is great, but surely not in the same level. Nelson could do it all with one arm behind his back.

It’s Jack talking through his hat again. I think he’s trying to determine if a woman is married or not and when it turns out they having a roving eye, he conflates “porcupine” (no idea what a porcupine-lay might be) with “concubine”.

He is a completely flawed man. The books are borderline flawless (will admit when I reread them now I skip the last 2 or 3 because he clearly felt the creep of time and started killing off characters I loved deeply). >O’Brian as “an arti
