I still find a decent amount of the integration, like KIO, is still there and works well - it puts MacOS and Windows to shame in terms of how I can just interact with files anywhere as if they're native within KDE apps. It's kind

This is where I separate "manager" from "leader". As a principal level IC, I'm part of "engineering leadership" along with the senior managers, but not a manager. The work isn't that different to mana

Unfortunately, at their stated range of 160nm, you're looking at only getting as far as Big Sur before the entire craft needs a recharge - it's much more aimed at island and port hopping, I suspect, than long distance travel. Stil

Author here - it's just to reduce support surface area. I know I'll need PostgreSQL's full text indexing and GIN indexes for hashtags/search eventually, and I probably also want to use some of the upsert and other specia

I'm (worriedly) curious how this will affect people trying to change jobs on a H1-B, as technically you need to file a new petition each time, and I can see them somehow denying those too.

I've replied to the post on the forum, but if this is the default way Jupyter runs then we're going to have to figure something out longer-term. Calling the Django ORM from an async thread just isn't safe...

I'd love to hear your suggestions for changes we could make while keeping it somewhat WSGI-compatible. It took a few years to refine it to where it is now, so it's not like we just threw something at the wall.

Well there's no actual async support for views in 3.0 - we missed the cutoff due to performance concerns! Hopefully it'll be in 3.1.

It's worth pointing out that the ASGI support in this release is very low level, and doesn't let you write async views or anything yet. We're still working on that.

I would agree with some of the points - speed (which is stretched over two points), concurrency, and the ability not to do magic as easily, but several of the points (compile time, available developers, strong ecosystem) are not a "ver

I can't say much on the subject, at least not without official approval, but understand that the original Lanyrd team have not forgotten about the site; asking us to fix it isn't really giving us any new information (sadly). If yo

There is, actually - the US has a (slightly worse) government data repository, but there's several LIDAR sets of the Bay Area, mostly from coastal surveys.

As long as you can convert the data into a height field it's possible. I reckon you could do contours with interpolation.

I'm the main person in Django working on 2), and this is interesting for sure, though our current code is based on Twisted since we need python 2 compatability (there's some asyncio code, but not a complete webserver yet)

He is indeed - he helped me with the Django proposal, actually. He's the one setting the direction for what to include and what to keep separate.

We're not bringing in the whole of Django REST Framework, just some of the underlying mechanics that are useful for all apps (like content negotiation). DRF will remain a third-party project. As for Python versions, there isn't an

I agree a little bit, but also part of building out a framework is making choices for people - waiting, looking at the problem space, and picking a solution that most people will be happy with. There are some projects that Django is not t

Yeah, it's a fantastic step and we're very happy they piloted the program. The Django Software Foundation has also hired a part-time fundraiser to try and make the project self-sustaining; we're trying to make the project sus

I'd say Hyperloop is like normal high-speed rail; you have a few main stations, and then supplement links to those with metro and light rail services.

I do like the Surface 3; it's a lovely piece of hardware, Windows 8.1 is an improvement, and for a desktop OS, the touch interface is pretty good. It's the best Windows computer I've ever owned, but I still turn to my Linux l

"Best structured" is definitely true - part of the reason we can use it to power all the new Eventbrite APIs is because we can easily remove one or two pieces and swap in our own without breaking the rest. Makes my life a lot easi

You're free to use Django without the template language - that's a relatively simple replacement and one we're looking into making even easier. The ORM/SQLAlchemy is a more difficult issue. To some extent, Django _is_ it

It will prompt you if an app doesn't yet have migrations and ask if you want it to. That prompt is currently a bit aggressive - asking you every time - but that will be fixed soon.

It does them all at once. The new system knows about interdependencies, so if you have ForeignKeys between apps it'll make all of them in the right order.
