An old boss of mine used to say "Consistent is better than better" and it's always stuck with me.

Pretty sure the article is from vanity fair

The community around Elixir and Erlang is also one of its best features. Everyone I've interacted with, like Jose, is kind and helpful.

I don't know of any off the top of my head or a quick google search. I do know, from the latest ElixirTalk podcast, that it's very careful about what it sends over the wire, only the parts that have changed. If you're interacting with an API to get the same information for a SPA you're probably going to have similar latencies.

Buying research data from a third-party academic and using it for campaign purposes is not the same thing as a campaign creating an app and then using the available data.

Hooray! Now just search for firearms and get the same results.

Headline: refers to a laptop

Article: several hundred words about an architecture that is not currently available in a laptop form factor and probably never will be.

Macs don't reboot without you taking an action if you have automatic update installation disabled. You have to click a button to apply the updates after which it will reboot. But it tells you this in the dialog where you agree to apply the updates. Windows just applies them and reboots when you're not actively using the machine.

Is anyone else concerned about buying a laptop from a Chinese manufacturer?

I own a number of MacBooks and while they were all assembled in China I don't have any concerns about the firmware. As more of these make it to US markets I'm sure if there is something it will come out but I'm currently taking a wait and see approach.

Mine is #BADA55; which is very nearby.

Store just updated. Still on 16GB of RAM.

It does boost production of NDA+ though, right?

I've been taking this for about 6 months. Haven't noticed much other than better sleep, easier to wake upon time feeling refreshed.

Normally when immunity is exchanged there is a proffer so that the attorneys know what they're getting in exchange. They'd pull it if it was b.s.

- FK/M2M across reusable, packaged apps is only bad if you don't match the interfaces correctly. See: almost every third-party Django app that is built to integrate with another application's models.

- Sometimes you want the app concept just for organization. There's nothing bad about that and it makes sharing things inside of a project easier.

- Explicitly naming your database tables doesn't make any sense. You're using an ORM. Accept it or don't use it.

- Explicitly declaring through on a m2m field if you're not adding metadata to the relationship is pointless, but, if you're not using the table naming from Django I could see why they'd be invisible because there's no pattern to follow.

- GenericForeignKeys are dangerous but not for any of the reasons listed. It's because they implicitly force a two way join which seems magic until it becomes debilitatingly slow.

- The entire section on migrations leads me to believe that the first time the migrations are being run is on a production deploy. If you don't know SQL and you don't test your migrations prior to deployment, yes, it will be fairly difficult to determine what kind of performance/locking they're going to have.

- No to Fat Models? This breaks down to "The framework we chose to use suggests a pattern, we also chose not to follow that pattern." That's fine if you want to do that but I wouldn't suggest it to others.

- It's not hard to get signals to not fire in certain circumstances, you put the conditional in the signal callback like almost every other event-driven pattern. Also, bulk updating models doesn't fire signals in Django because save isn't called. Read the documentation.

- Avoid using the ORM? Why choose a framework as complete as Django where 80% of the features are built around or on top of the ORM and then don't use it?

- Caching complex objects makes cache invalidation hard. Well, yes, yes it does.

I've got more than 5 years of experience with Django on a number of teams and at a couple of companies and in my experience almost everything in this article is completely incorrect.

The only things I would agree with is the point about project layout and avoiding django's squashmigrations for the truncate the migrations table, delete the migrations, and create a new initial migration.

Practically everything else in this article is wrong, in my opinion.

Sorry dang. I know your job is hard enough.

What ever happened to IronPython running on the CLR?

Cue the comments stating that no one will use this because the name is bad.

I live in a rural area in the mid-atlantic US. My choices for internet are 10mbit DSL from CenturyLink or LTE (with bandwidth caps). I've only lived here for a year but my previous two homes have had at least two options for 100mbit+ internet, FiOS and Comcast, and LTE.

Comcast serves across the street from my house and told me it would be $76k out of my pocket to get service here. For < 1mi run of fiber.

I'm 100% in favor of making ISPs common carriers and making it unlawful for them to track their customers' habits. I've worked for two ISPs in my career. They should be happy with the business of providing internet to customers and compete on delivering better, faster, and more reliable service not on selling their customers' information or eyeballs to the highest bidder.

I bought an x230 from Lenovo's outlet about 2 years ago. i5 with 4gb of ram and a 500 gb sata drive. I threw in an m2 SSD and 16gb of ram and it's great. I'll eventually replace the 500 gb sata drive with an SSD but for now it's fine and the total cost was probably $600. Has to be close to half of that now.

If the Hillary stories about her email were relevant then this is too. This is at least the third story from different news sources that I've seen flagged to death on this topic.

I can see the argument but 99+% of this audience isn't cloudflare. My comment was more directed at those who aren't. Special use-cases are all over the place. It's just making sure you're choosing because your use-case really is special and that when you re-implement something that you're doing it because it's different and better, not because you'd rather write something than integrate.

This sounds to me like an object lesson in "Why you shouldn't write your own HTML parser."

Every time I see a dev trying to parse HTML with a custom solution or regex or anything other than a proven OSS library designed to parse HTML I recoil reflexively. Sure, maybe you don't need a parser to see if that strong tag is properly closed but the alternative is ...

Try Flowdock for a week. Then try slack again.

Apple would have them by the plums at least for a little while.
