Respectfully, you're missing the point. It is often the best (and only, in my mind) choice, and it is always sad. It's not the word or even the concept that's the problem. Using it in a post about euthanasia is fine; using it as callous euphemism for shutting down your business is pretty terrible.

Definitely agree. I just had to euthanize my beloved dog two days ago and reading that truly hurt. Between that and several aspects of the post other commenters have already pointed out, it doesn't seem like these people had a very good understanding of pet owners or pet ownership.

Agreed, I'm more confused than ever. I've been really sad to watch Voice die, and begrudgingly migrated towards Hangouts. Now I don't know what app I'm supposed to be using. Do I opt-out of having SMS go to Hangouts now? This is ridiculous.

Agreed. 2.6 is was EOLed over 2 years ago and is consequently already missing significant security patches (e.g. CVE-2014-1912). I think it's unnecessary and maybe even unwise to support it, especially for a security-critical application.

I've been using this for several months and it's now an indispensable tool for me. Maybe I just never learned enough Curl options, but I find HTTPie to be so much easier and more intuitive. Paired with jq, it makes my life much easier on a daily basis.

I first discovered it on HN several months ago, so it's definitely been here.

Congrats to TellApart!

I'm bummed though, because they had good parties that seem unlikely to continue under their new corporate overlords.

You're missing the Fusion drive, which is standard on the high-end and $200 extra on the mid-level.

I agree. I really winced at that bizarre syntax. I find it strange to read and painfully unintuitive to write. It's not just "un-Pythonic"; it's unlike almost any other library.

I would also imagine the strange structure and all those nested accessors makes debugging and developing for the library itself unnecessarily complicated, thereby impeding contributions to the project itself.

I've been using this for the past month or so, and overall I think it's the best app for Muni. The interface is not anywhere near as slick as the Google Maps app for example, but for transit routing it feels much more functional.

It's not unreasonable, but it's still obscure. Calling a time utility Delorean isn't unreasonable, despite also being obscure.

I agree Bottle is simple and has some nice features, but I'm a little wary of the decorator-based "micro"frameworks. In my experience it can lead to strange code structure and it's more difficult to translate into the class-based handlers of larger frameworks.

Moreover, I don't think the barrier of entry to use Tornado, for example, is significantly higher than Bottle, and you can use it for any sized project. I realize that is both a server and framework, but truthfully I guess I'm also wary of WSGI on the whole and wouldn't recommend anyone even start down that rabbit hole in this day and age.
