1) (minor) Getting into templates to add an action e.g. «export as CSV» is a lot to ask. (Anything that leads me into changing the templates is, at least for me, a no, except form ergonomy which is in Django regularly done in an API/DSL based on nested dict, list and attributes.)

2) (minor) Custom models (non django.models.Model) or specifiq models (like django scaffold) in the ObjectList aka. ChangeList or in the Form view is not possible which means no mongodb, no kv store, no to anything that hasn't a proper Django's model backend even if in the end it's all about class properties and most of the time slice queries.

3) (major) The admin ergonomy and plugability is poor, you can not choose the way pages feet together, for instance and the primary concern is that the first page must be a list of models regrouped by apps. This is in advanced apps a non sens, most likely when you use a lot of reusable apps, where the code doesn't reflect the end-user experience, the admin will look ugly. But should the admin reflect or map somehow the end-user experience ? It's a complex mapping, the workflow of the admin is elaborate and depends of the app... otherwise said the Django «generated» admin is the equivalent of a spreadsheet compared to specific domain admin areas.

> I've customized the heck out of that thing (e.g. https://github.com/mazelife/django-scaffold)

Does it support filters and actions ? because what it looks like you did is that you are feeting a view to the admin API, leaving the elaborate actions and points of customisation on the side.

> and it's quite possible,

It our job to make things possible.

> although you'll need to be pretty familiar with the source code.

You mean read the code ? It's not that difficult. Also I think django admin reworks bring more clarity.

> That said, this particular part of Django is definitely starting to show its age.

In terms of features or skin ?

> Compare the look-and-feel and UI with something like ActiveAdmin (http://activeadmin.info/) for Rails and you'll see what I mean.

Definetly looks like a customised Django Admin. Also Django Admin already had it's skin war, the feature/API war is barely starting.

> What's more, the approach to "class-based views" feels disconnected to the way Django apps are written now.

What do you mean ?
> it makes no sense to force an everyday commuter to wear such a thing for a very dubious return in safety while we put up with automobile transport and retarded city designers.
Bicycle helmets are the equivalent of telling homeowners they should build a nuclear bunker for their home because we have no interest in ensuring safety standards for nuclear reactors fearing that could cause prices to go up.

This reads like a rant for rants sake. The article wasn't about helmet laws but rather helmet technology and safety standards.

To the "dubious return" point you made - why should bike commuters not optimize for their situation? It scarcely matters whether or not their city could have been better designed. Assuming they don't intend to move to the Netherlands, it makes eminent sense to maximize their safety while on the road.

You know what? The fact that a person uses Facebook, Google, etc. is in no way a declaration from that person that they do not value their privacy, especially privacy from the government. The 4th amendment makes participation in those things possible.
You're right about the citizens thing, but multiple court cases over the years have asserted that constitutional protections only apply to "US persons". So, citizens, legal residents, non-legal residents, visitors, anyone physically in the US.
Bravo revelation, keep fighting the good fight. My favorite quote from TFA was: "More helmet laws had come into effect, but head injuries didn't go down at all." This would be confusing if one believed the marketing! Simultaneously, of course, the helmet laws perfectly performed their intended functions: discouraging cycling while forcing people to buy yet another damn commercial product.

All the complainers are either cranky motorists or sidewalk cyclists. They feel slightly more guilty right-hooking a commuter who isn't wearing a helmet than some day-glo Lance wannabe. Witness their guilt turned to fury at the mere mention of actual facts about bicycle helmet effectiveness!
Well if you're willing to talk about illegal things the government could do to you it makes sense to talk about the illegal things Google could do to you; i.e., anything.

I also tried to find this some time ago. The older attribution I found is from "Guillaume le taciturne et sa dynastie. Histoire des Pays-Bas" (1852)

It's not exact, it goes like this: "Donnez-moi une ligne,
disait-il, la plus indifférente de la main d'un homme, et j'y trouverai de quoi le faire pendre." and it's attributed to Cardinal de Richelieu. It probably has changed in many ways from quotation to quotation, but that is verbatim as I found it in that old book.
Once you go that far, you might as well ride a motorcycle or a scooter. You can wear much better safety gear and are fast enough to keep pace with traffic.
Typescript is closely integrated with Node.js at this point.

So there's this related open source project seeking to optimize the performance of Node.js apps running on IIS and hosting them on Azure. https://github.com/tjanczuk/iisnode/wiki We've seen some interesting performance gains by supplanting Node.js's HTTP implementation with the in-kernel HTTP stack, http.sys. http://tomasz.janczuk.org/2012/08/the-httpsys-stack-for-node...

Or, we rationally process the information we have and conclude that we're okay with the status quo.

No, it doesn't.

Oh, and also I should note: if you have a party rallying in a city populated by an ethnic minority - that's not evidence of a lack of fascism. The KKK holds rallies in South Chicago from time to time - nobody gets hurt, sure, but that is not done out of a sense of national unity and mutual trusting support.
Absolutely using Facebook and Google is a declaration of that. At least the government is incompetent, by sending that information to Google and Facebook you're leaving yourself up to their good graces (which change with little to no notice which each modification to their privacy policies). That is a person's own choice to make, but they've definitely made it.

The 4th Amendment covers the relationship between you and the government. It does not cover the relationship between the government and a third-party, unless Congress passes additional legislation to add that protection.

Congress has done so for the mail, for landline telephone, beepers, and cellular telephones. They have not done so in the general case for email or other electronic data hosted by a third-party, and yet email and other electronic services somehow have become incredibly popular.
The idiocy of the "they hate our freedoms" statement has been weighing on me lately.

It isn't perfectly accurate, but there might be a kernel of reality there. Remember a little while back when extremists were mad at the US for a video somebody made in their basement? I heard someone explain in regards to that issue that for someone whose government regulates such things, to them it must have looked like the US was endorsing the video simply by allowing it to exist.
Yes, when the team is interviewed they consistently say that, where there is overlap, Typescript will adapt to follow ES6 standards once agreed upon.
"Either you have enough evidence to charge them with something or you have no business restricting them from doing anything," we have no business restricting anyone from doing anything on those bases.)

I imagine what the OP meant was that you have no business restricting them from doing anything otherwise lawful if they have not been charged with a crime (for example travelling or calling someone etc). Otherwise the statement is nonsensical and means they don't accept civil society and the rule of law (your interpretation).

This is a founding principle of many legal systems - that laws and restrictions have to be clearly explained and open to challenge, and judgements have to be public - and yet it has been violated in the West for some time by no-fly lists and watch-lists which have no way of being challenged, no explanation as to why people end up on them, and often no way to get off.

The biggest phrase that I see missing from the private vs government discussion is "monopoly on force".

The Federal government has the authority to create regulations, create laws, collect taxes, send people to your house to enforce those laws, remove/restrict your rights, sentence you to a prison term, send in armed officers to take down civilians groups viewed as dangerous, etc etc all the way to declaring full scale war. And, perhaps most importantly, the government has the authority to coherence third parties to cooperate in information sharing. Google will never be able to force Facebook to hand over their data, but the Federal government can force both of these parties to hand over their data to them.

The catch with having a monopoly on force is that your hands are supposed to be tied by the will of the people. There is a tremendous and intentional asymmetry in power. This necessitates an equally tremendous system of transparency, accountability and oversight.

I think once a day I hear "people willingly give all there data to facebook, why do they care if the NSA is listening", people need to understand what "monopoly on force" truly means.

> Not necessarily. As another commenter pointed out [1], a single FISA order doesn't have to correspond to a single citizen. One order can encompass millions of accounts.

The court document from Google (http://assets.nationaljournal.com/img/MOTION.pdf) clearly states the desire to clearly list, in aggregate, the number of accounts impacted.

A programming language works with a text editor? Wow!
This is a distinction without a difference. If I (the NSA) can request yesterday's backups, isn't that close enough? I don't particularly care if they have direct access to Google's servers. Having access to the backups (through sftp or whatever other mechanism) is bad enough.

Visitors will be kind of a stretch, as they might not have any substantial ties with the US "community" to be protected by the Fourth. The opposite thing goes for the legal temporary worker who went to visit home country for a couple of weeks - he should be protected. In any case I do not think NSA takes all those things into account when they figure out who is a "US person" and who is not, if they ever do that, of course.
Also: they may personally believe that Roma are not the problem - but is that the rhetoric they use to sway voters? Even subtly? Because you started out trying to justify the Jobbik by citing knife attacks, and got widely slapped down for using local rhetoric in a global forum - that's a good sign that your local rhetoric is a lot more slanted than you think. And what you say ends up being what you believe.
Certainly is. The problem is that the link seems to get smaller and more hidden with each update.

Even without seeing the numbers I think it's obvious why they're doing it, I'm just wondering: is there a better way to callout the login for existing users without interfering too much with the process for potential customers?

Also, Google isn't brokering the information they gather. From what I understand they're simply using it to target ads (which is what they actually sell), while keeping the data itself very close to the vest.

If you've got something on offer, and want to know who might buy, Google won't tell you who is interested. They'll just deliver your message to the right people, and if you get a suitable response, you'll know that their service was worth the price.

There's a world of difference between the mediated transactions they have with their customers, and the exchange that takes place when the government says "hand over the data itself."
The reason FISA exists at all is that the concept of the CIA going into court for a warrant to spy on foreigners is nonsensical. Foreigners don't have standing in federal court, and the CIA is not bound by the rules of federal procedure.

The point of FISA is to ensure that U.S. citizens are not swept up in intelligence activities that should be targetted solely at foreigners. If it operated properly, it would not matter much to U.S. citizens that it is secret.

Obviously it's not operating properly now--in part because of overreach by intelligence agencies, and in part because their oversight powers were reduced by Congress following 9/11.
They would want to publish the scope of the FISA requests.

The other companies aren't going this far and I think they deserve a credit for what they're doing.

And I disagree with commend you link to, the solution isn't limiting data collection, sure it makes you a target but more data equals a better product. It's an issue of government overreach not engineering decisions.
> I don't think most Americans would think of the situation in terms of "natural rights."

The folks who architected this nation most certainly did, and since they're the ones who devised the sovereignty of the states and embodied the individualism and self-reliance and runs undercurrent to your claim that Americans "hate the idea of being obligated or beholden to anyone else" I think it's perfectly fair to characterize the debate in those terms. And they did in fact see these as universal rights: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal..."

Anyways, specifically I take issue with your claim that "the idea of "human citizen[ship]" is anathama to American thought, because citizenship implies reciprocal rights and obligations." Obligations, yes, but it does not follow that the extension of our recognized rights to all people is in any way contradictory to our ideals, your personal views on collective rights notwithstanding.
Yes, although I make fun of LLVM for the non-optimal code, I really doubt anyone would consider them 'bugs' -- and I did not. They aren't bugs, they are just optimizations that we haven't found a good way to automatically identify yet.

Though, it does seem to always store the old stack pointer in r7, even though it doesn't restore from r7, and even though my inline assembly block specifies r7 on the clobber list. That might be a bug, but it's a single 'add', so who cares.

From what Google's said, it appears the government can't arbitrarily query Google's servers. Google has stated pretty clearly that someone at Google has to check off before an account is pushed to a machine that the government can access and that the data cannot be accessed without this happening.

That's Google. We've yet to hear from many of the other companies in the program about whether this sort of access is technically impossible, or whether it's an honor system that the government is supposed to follow.[1] I haven't been closely following the Facebook, Microsoft, or Apple statements, so maybe they have also been explicit that it is a restriction that is implemented by technical means. Some of the companies haven't said anything yet.

How many of the companies really make sure there is legitimate documentation for each request? Do they really do this every time, or have they become resigned to the fact that there's nothing they can do, so they just rubber stamp each request coming through, even without the proper legal documentation?

[1] This seems to be a major issue--the President and NSA leaders have claimed that analysts "cannot" access your phone metadata and phone call content without the correct legal instruments. But by "cannot", they seem to mean "they are not allowed to" rather than "it is not possible for them to".

No.

I'm not convinced "terrorism" cases should be handled any differently than any other criminal cases.

It's such a vague term, I'm not even sure it should be possible to prosecute it. What does it even mean for a person to "be a terrorist"? Clearly if a person has blown up a building or plane they should be prosecuted for that. But trying to prosecute before the fact in the name of counter-terrorism seems a little too much like thought crime, IMO.

I agree with you on this, but I said in the comment that one of the alternatives I consider is not using any reader, so it should be pretty obvious that I don't consider out critical enough to warrant even a small payment.

The 'music' category is one of the very few places left in the app store where you can actually charge a reasonable price for your work and still get traction. It's a shame to see something like this show up as a free app, especially with such granular IAPs as separate 'synth pads' and 'synth leads'. It smells a bit of the worst parts of free-to-play.

Also, you're risking a future rejection by requiring the camera when the app doesn't use it. Apple has a long history of pulling apps which request specific features that they don't use.

The interface is nice, an appealing take on the piano roll.
> How did things get so bad ?

I would probably say that it is better than it has ever been. Looking back in history, child labour was very high until the early/mid 20th century.

According to Wikipedia [0]: The incidence of child labour in the world decreased from 25% to 10% between 1960 and 2003, according to the World Bank.

So we are probably overall better off than before. Sweatshops of varying degrees are unpleasant by Western standards, but they do provide a better (slightly at least) than working on a poor farm. They, if I am correct, appear to be quite effective in quickly increasing the living standards in countries. People do flock to these jobs for a reason - they are (a lot) better than the alternatives.

However, I don't know if it is avoidable to use 'sweatshops'. American Apparel are made, mostly, in American factories if I recall correctly?

Please remember that these concepts apply outside US too, where gun ownership and constitution defending the citizens aren't as available. This is one of the reasons why the "but we have guns to take 'em down if needed" is not very applicable argument when talking about these issues.
