How to Develop Ghost Themes with Docker
Python is a language that gives us a lot of liberty in how we solve problems, but Django is a set of cookie cutters for doing things a certain way. Django's cookie cutter patterns and extensions don't lend themselves well to doing things outside the way that Django intended them to. It's why a lot of us prefer Flask or Pyramid as framework of choice.

Just to clarify: there is no new government. The president is Nicolas Maduro,the successor named by Chavez when he realized he was too sick to continue.

There was an election to the National Assembly that the opposition won, but they did not have anything to do with the rise in gas prices.
Maybe we need the ability to use VBScript in Facebook status updates.
Unraveling of the tech hiring market
Facebook is unbelievably limited for any signs of creativity - even MySpace was like a generation ahead comparing to what Facebook is nowadays. Most creatives/content producers use it as a glorified Twitter; women use it for bragging about status/observing status of others and everybody else seems to have relegated it to the most banal things (hi family!). If you pay for ads, some strange Italian or Asian company does all the clicks on your ads, so unless you have a sure way to attract people with herd-mentality to your ads, B2C is useless as well.
If 10% identify as Ninja, and 17% of ninjas use windows phone, that seems to contradict this:

I would assume it got "downvoted" by JavaScript developers that had to deal with it at some point.

If you say "yes" rather than "no", you become involved in the process of implementing the system and can provide security fixes and mitigations. If you say "no" they they probably do it anyway, stick it in Digital Ocean, and never tell you about it. It stops getting patched when they leave the company. Years later, someone kicks the door down and finds it littered with your IP.

Of course they were wrong to go through unofficial channels, but as a security professional, you don't plan for things to happen as you expect. You plan for things to go wrong, and you plan so they go wrong less.

> Must be nice to have a high enough position in life to ignore security protocols at whim. If I did that I would be fired.

I'll take a stab and say protected classes. You can't refuse service or employment to someone based on race, disability status, and so on, and the rare edge cases of people abusing this statute adds fuel to the "political correctness is ruining this country" fire.

Without such protections, people would be cheaper to employ because the deck is further stacked against them.

That is how we go back in time.
I am consistently impressed with the thoughtful API abstractions django develops. They were a little late to the game on this — you had to use other libraries to do WebSockets for a while. But they did this right.

The opinions stated here are my own, not necessarily those of Google.

Google has offices all over the country, everyone just focuses on MTV as it's the biggest. In the US there are already large offices in Seattle, NYC, and Chicago. They are also expanding in other cities. Boulder CO is building a new building that can house up to 1500 people. In Austin, TX they are leasing 200,000sqft of office space downtown.

There are definite advantages to having all your people on the same project be in the same area. Remote offices are nice and all to attract talent that doesn't want to be in the Bay area, but there are downsides about distributed teams.
Sometimes it's not the honesty that's punished, but what that honesty reveals. If these statements were honest, I don't think I'd want this guy to be part of the upper management of my rocket company. There's too much misunderstanding in there, and the views too polarized.

It's a bit like Trump. A lot of people say they admire him because he speaks his mind. Well, that's not so great if the underlying mind is nuts!

Google has an engineering office here in Pittsburgh right down the road from CMU. So do a lot of other tech companies. A huge part of that is the sheer number of colleges in the area, low cost of living, and apparently the booming food scene with lots of creative chefs due to low rents [0]. Not sure if I'm wiling to buy that last one as a tangible factor in economic growth, but it certainly tastes good in the interim.

Your blog post which I assume is connected to aproduct would have gotten a lot more traction is you had actually outed him.
That was my first thought!
I think the objection is referring to Django unequivocally as "bad news", rather than saying that your personal preference is for Flask.

(I work in a shop which has used both, and generally try to avoid claiming one or the other is objectively better; they're not quite at the apples-and-oranges level, but pretty close)
I'd refer to it as just "asynchronous". I'm not sure why they felt the need to redefine.
So Facebook is the new hammer used to smash everything that isn't a nail? Or is it the new software no one likes but everyone uses?
I think this is the right spirit.

C makes a lot of things undefined that could be implementation defined even on weird hardware. That would considerably reduce the gap between customary C and standard C for "normal" hardware while letting the oddball machines do what they need to do and document it.

I don't know if the compiler implementors would stand for it, though.
Maybe, but the reality is that the vast majority of street use is by automobiles. Optimizing for that massive use case is only logical.
That's a good point re: cross-scaling. I guess it was a symbiotic relationship.
Consider the possibility the team doesn't mind the executive getting the credit, or perhaps does enjoys doing great work regardless. I also used to view myself as a lowly peon, but that overshadowed the satisfaction of a job well done.

Couldn't they use helper methods to convert all those types he brought up to a single common type that they annotated with? It would simplify the API a lot. I come from a full day of working with associated types, generics, type erasures and protocol extensions, there is a darker side to it.

I wanted to have a generic protocol that could have some logic of its own without enforcing you to subclass it. I would regret the decision so much, if I wasn't busy regretting other decisions even more.

Just enforce a type that you accept that's large enough to be used by many and convertable from other common types you want to use.

I swear, soon they'll classify programmers urge to write as generic and extendable as a mental illness.

Looks like a hollywood script. Reality surpasses fiction.
That is a good point. One of the reasons historians tend to claim as to why the industrial revolution occurred in 18th century Britain and not Ptolemeic Egypt (where there is evidence of machines like steam engines) is that ancient Egyptian labor was cheap, which meant more profits for ruling classes while the people had jobs.

It is worth noting that Egyptian prominence is directly due to the abundant resources of the Nile, and presumably, with technology displacing natural abundance, there could certainly be more for everybody. Famines are more often a result of policy, and rarely because food is so scarce that no-one can eat (ex: Ireland and India under British rule)

It is a matter of self-identification. I take the phrase with a large dose of irony. If someone calls themselves a full-stack developer, I assume they mean "JS/CSS/HTML/<app language>/SQL" and this is especially likely in this case, since it's a SO poll.

But I still want some sense of awareness of the many layers on which web systems rest.

The underlying model for all Python Web apps -- WSGI -- is CGI-like. But the actual deployment of WSGI almost always involves a long-running process or processes, which keep the application code in memory and then expose the appropriate WSGI API to whatever Web server you're using.

That factory was Owens-Illinois?

But what is happening here is because of massive corruption at every level of the government. They only nationalized one of the power companies (Electricidad de Caracas, only deals with power in the capital).

The rest simply succumbed to corruption. Companies with ties to the military and government officials that sold a bunch of overpriced, refurbished power plants that don't work. The price per MW of the power plants built here is the highest in the world.

I know because I used to work for a small Power Protection Systems contractor and we saw this from the inside. That and the reduction of the morale of even the lowest employee that saw the destruction and corruption from the inside.

I agree. My first startup I worked on while in college was "beating cragslist." We looked at it and laughed and said this is so old! As we went about our business, we realized there was no way we could reasonably change the world's habit of going to craigslist for {X}. That was ~8 years ago and it's still going strong.

Many a start-ups have come and gone trying to revolutionize house/apt hunting. If they try to incorporate craigslist, craigslist shuts 'em down; if they try to get organic listings, craigslist beats 'em.

"Facebook.... <story is yet to be written> but the same thing will happen to them."
I believe the story is already out there: FB saw the threats coming and just bought them. Whatsapp is a particularly clear example, I have about a dozen groups of friends, family, hobby, work, etc. On these groups is where we share pictures, memes, links; we plan meetings, meals, outings; we invite and are invited to events, etc. In fact: I already closed my FB account b/c I no longer need/use it. Then there's the fact that soon Whatsapp will be open for business, chat bots will come. Ordering food? Selling a house? Transferring money? Whatsapp is the new social net and FB already bought it.

So the story to be written is who or what will take over Whatsapp.
The first part was a question and the second two parts were examples.

It is worth to note that Venezuela is an oil producer country that used to sell electricity to Brazil, Guyana and Colombia.
This honesty reveals a lot of problematic stuff about this person. Just taking one random example, if he honestly believes that SES-9 required 100,000 pounds of fuel to make its landing attempt, should he really be part of the upper management of a rocket company? If he thinks their most threatening competitor is "doing nothing," does that maybe suggest he's unsuitable for his position?
Perhaps not in the limitations of the DOM, but how we deal with it is changing.
If you didn't have government-given monopolies that lasted 20 years and you allowed competition to come in from outside the country as well, this wouldn't happen.

Trying to regulate every single drug's price is a fool's errand. Maybe you can stop these "5,000% hikes", but what about the 300% ones? The 80% ones? That happen simply because there's no competition.

The law should change with the times only when technological change implicates the rationale of a rule. The rationale of the 5th amendment isn't to have a place for storing secret information. It's the uniquely pursuasive nature of confessions and the incentive to coerce them. Note that when there is no such threat, even being in your brain doesn't stop courts from getting at information. A court can compel a witness to testify, for example, so long as the testimony isn't incriminating.

Phones don't implicate the threat of coerced confessions regardless of what is on them.

Definetly a gaffe by the Michael Kinsley definition: That is, when someone accidentally tells the truth. :)

Most of what he said (and especially the stuff that people were angry about) is, in fact, common knowledge. ULA can't compete on price, the trade restrictions on Russian engines are politically motivated, most of the funding decisions are made by congress explicitly to funnel spending to their districts, and the procurement process is utterly broken.

And you can find industry experts and analysts who say all of this repeatedly and noisily. But if you're speaking for one of the players, obviously you're not allowed to admit any of it.

It's the internal analysis of the situation at a given time. Those things change, and are not written in stone.

> It certainly wasn't sold as "not about performance". Performance was blamed on things like floats in the past, and flexbox was supposed to solve the needs without sacrificing performance.

That's not true. Do a search for [flexbox floats performance] and you'll see that the goal was not to improve performance of floats. Floats are only a performance problem in parallel implementations, which nobody was talking about at the time flexbox was created.

Fair enough. I've never been to Argentina, and can only go on what I've read in the news. I'm curious what policies you specifically think are going to sink the country into crisis. Is it just about his deal to make good on the defaulted bonds, or is he a profligate borrower and spender in other areas as well?

If it's primarily the bond deal, I would be sympathetic to the argument that Macri is just being honest and having the country take responsibility for the debts racked up by his predecessors. Another good sign is how he's cleaned up the government statistics office that Fernandez was using to publish ginned up economic indicators to make herself look better (which wasn't fooling anybody outside the country; I don't know how widely they were believed domestically). These sorts of moves pay off in the long term by restoring the goodwill of the international community and giving the government more room to maneuver. The fact that he's making them now, when they make his job more difficult in the short term, suggests a profound professional integrity that inclines me to think of him as a statesman.

Am I misreading your objection here? If so, I'd like to know more about your take on things. (Or maybe you could point me to some sources I could read?)
