I agree. It's the spirit in which these actions have been taken, as if to conform to a narrative, which in itself, has see-sawed between facts and fiction, as to almost being intentionally confusing. It's not a "conspiracy th

My guess is it hinders the mind's ability to react negatively as quickly and allow mental processes to do their thing, so to speak, more objectively. IE: not jumping to conclusions.

Are there even laws anymore? It seems like the law only applies to non-corporate entities and citizens. If you're in politics, law enforcement, or the Fortune 500, expect zero consequences for breaking the law. Exceptions exist but are

Listen to KCRW radio. Listen to DJs that play the genre of music you like. Radio is still the best way to disconver new music. Gilles Peterson on BBC Radio 6 is also another one of my go-to's. I appreciate an eclectic mix of recently r

Apple has their hands tied because of all the factories churning out their products that would come to a standstill if the Chinese government decided it wanted to. It's sad and unfortunate, but what other business decision would a CEO

If it means anything, reading the first part of it inspired me to want to contribute to it, if at all ever possible, because I believe Django is important enough to sustain and to recognize these issues before they evolve into problems is g

I agree, I've used this package since the beginning. Python is my favorite computer language so far. I started with Flash, then HTML & CSS, then jQuery, PHP, MySQL, etc. Could not mention Python without Virtualenv, Django, and Flas

I guess we learned nothing from the 20th century. While our country, at least used to, pride itself and base it's image upon excoriating unjust governmental overreach abroad (East Germany), it has become exactly what it once bemoaned.

PHP was my first bike, so to speak, so I can't knock it. Plus later I learned Slack was written in PHP, and I was like, whoa! I definitely think it gets a bad rap, mainly because it's almost too easy to use, correctly and incorrec

Case in point. Thanks. Also, the moderators seem to have no life. Please deactivate my account if you're offended. I'd prefer not to spend more time attempting to communicate with one dimensional, armchair experts.

Can you elaborate, somewhat? How long ago did you try GO? Also, I agree, having a generous assortment of contributed libraries makes all the difference.

You had me at 4. I'm definitely GOing to give this language a GO now. That was a GOod introduction to the language, a veritable advertisement, if you will.

Exactly; it takes time to learn the thing—it's huge compared to Flask. The documentation is killer though. I've been learning django for at least a few years now. I try not to rush, I know I'll figure it out eventually is bas

I love Flask for mini-apps and micro-services. I pretty much use it when I want to run a single python file with a web-facing component. It's also great when I need to build simple celery or task/cron-based apps. Like the other c

If you've never actually worked in a restaurant, do everyone a favor and don't try to open one. It's vanity a play, that's all. Owning a restaurant for some reason has this prestige attached to it. I think it's the
