I feel rude even saying this because I like the work you guys do and don't want to bum this person out, but I had to stop listening to the ones with Johnny. He seems to just wax poetically so often. I'm sure hes super nice, but it feels like he talks for the majority of the episode instead of letting the guests and other hosts speak. Every time he has a thought you know your in for a 3 minute spiel.

Sorry, Johnny! It's probably just me.

> Really, I don't understand how this is news. It's what was going to happen, everyone with half a brain has known that since facebook started being a thing

Just because something isn't a surprise to you, doesn't mean its not news. I know that wild fires will inevitably happen, but I'm happy that they are reported on the news.

> So how is it that there are still people who apparently care that this happens?

So how is it that there are still people who apparently don't realize that the 2B+ users of facebook don't know everything they know.

Sorry it came off that way. I'll keep that in mind next time I comment.

erikb, I'm not writing this to be rude, but I am hoping it can change your perspective a little. Every sentence in your reply is so negative. You almost certainly won't get something you want if you think it's impossible. It means you wont bother trying. You have an excuse for everything. Its completely possible. I've worked for a large company for 2 years and made it happen. I know plenty of other people that do it as well.

The attitude in your comment was such a bummer I had to log in for the first time in years just to respond. Try to be more positive and go after what you want. Have a good rest of the weekend.

I'm struggling to not sound rude, but that's the whole point of the submission. He was surprised, you're surprised, I'm surprised, everyone here is surprised. Facebook was so surprised that they gave him money.

> It definitely needs some background, cue from /r/apple might be a good idea.

Please, please no. Its fine the way it is.

What is the tool you are using for the responsive testing? http://dun4nx4d6jyre.cloudfront.net/assets/toolb-xreponsive....

I've been using a mediocre plugin for chrome to do this testing but its flaky. That looks like exactly what I want.

You should link this story to here http://www.sqlalchemy.org/trac/wiki/08Migration

That is the actual information about the release.

Actually OpenBSD does have nearly flawless documentation.

It has other issues but documentation isnt one of them.

Excuse my ignorance, but why would that change all the instances in this case? I don't understand. Would you mind explaining more?

"I have found the policy of installing all updates when first setting up a Windows server and then never touching it again to work quite well."

I think you need to reevaluate your policies immediately. Not applying security patching isn't a good policy.

    "Why do I, the guy who barely knows emacs, have to whine?"

Because once you know emacs, you stop whining about it and start using it.

You sound mad because all these people are using emacs and you just don't understand it yet or something. Spend time, learn emacs or vim and then you will understand.

It is ridiculous for you to rant on something you obviously don't understand or recognize the power it possesses.

Emacs and Vim have been around forever. There is a reason.

Magit is probably my favorite piece of software. It's truly epic. It alone would keep me from ever switching to something else. Although emacs has plenty of other things to keep me around.

This is false. It's a preference you can toggle in the Security settings.

I'm not trying to get you to use Flask or anything. But I definitely find it interesting that you have "read through the documentation or researched extensively" but were unable to find `add_url_rule`.

Either way, I'm glad we have selection and choice. At least we both like python! Peace

I've been running multi file apps since before 0.7. If you read the documentation or searched mailing lists or looked at example applications you can see how. Blueprints made it even better.

2. In the documentation you will find that you can list out routes just like django. http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/api/#flask.Flask.add_url_rule

"Braintree does recurring billing, but doesn't do a great job at it."

Would you care to elaborate?

would you elaborate? i guess i agree for historical reasons but for practical reasons i think package managers actually should use /usr/local/. basically everyone uses a package manager now (except lfs). where would you like package managers to install.

I'm a big fabric fan and use if for server bootstrapping and deployment. I've tried to get into puppet a few times but it always seems overly complex to me. Is puppet useful if I'm only running a handful of servers or is it designed for 10s (or 100s) of servers?

I noticed he used puppet and fabric in this article so it made me interested what puppet it doing better for him than fabric.

Is there a repository of examples? Like just bootstrapping a debian box with nginx/apache/postgres (or mysql)?

Thanks!

> I don't understand why these people think this doesn't belong here.

Sorry, I wasn't trying to be rude. I just feel like its a couple of paragraphs long and doesn't have any substance. Like the other guy said, its a fluff piece. And the one thing you specifically pointed out of the article is actually incorrect.

>> because the software is so light on >> bureaucracy, it is easy to customize and >> to contribute to.

> Would someone care to refute this?

I would. Emacs was specifically NOT light on bureaucracy. That is specifically why xemacs created.

Anyway, hope you have a good day.

Colin, please don't pose this kind of stuff. I love emacs but this is article doesn't deserver to be here.

+1 came to say the same thing

not quite the same, but i live in thailand for about 1/2 of each year and i live about an hour boat ride from ang thong national park ( random pic http://www.thailand-travelonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2008... )

and i usually stay the night. 2 or 3 times that i've been there, i see massive bioluminecents in the water. not sure exacly what causes it. but in the middle of the night ill go into the ocean and spash and its the brightest purple you've ever seen. like when you hit the water it 'activates' something and explodes with color.

anyway. i do have the internet right here. should probably look that up. its amazing.

Well your passion is misguided and you should quit the software business now. Seriously.

Your argument is completely invalid. You are debating a dependency issue vs the installation of additional unrelated software.

I'm sure Microsoft has your aunts best interests in mind when they put their search bar into a product that they dont maintain.

If you are all for software companies installing random peices of bullshit software on your computer during regular updates of their software, then I'll gladly setup an update server that you can use. Dont worry, your aunt wont have to make any decisions.

Why is this getting upvoted? That is a monkey chatter comment. That's the stupidest justification I've ever heard. This is scummy tactics. Period. Why would you defend it unless you had a vested interest in doing so? You know its bad. Why on earth would I EVER want someone to install additional software on to my computer without consent or notification.

I NEVER WOULD. That simple. You wouldn't either.

Google's update tactics are really shitty as well but at least you know you are installing it in the first place. This is just crap and you know it.

There is a third option to get outraged about that you didn't mention. Shitty tactics. It was obviously a sneaky move. You know it, they know it and I know it.

Emacs isn't a good text editor. vi is a far superior text editor if you want to only edit text. But thats the point, people that really use emacs dont just edit text in it. They live in it.

Your filebrowser pane isnt the same. In emacs dired is an actual buffers that you act on in the same way you act on other buffers, same with magit (this is the best interface to VC i've ever used), same with mingus (front end for mpd, btw) and every other mode.

So thats where our communication breaks down. Emacs isnt a good text editor. The entire emacs environment is where the value is. If you just want to make edits on files, use vi. its faster than anything to do that (I used vi exclusively for over a decade). I know jedit is nice too.

But if you spend 8 hours a day programming then the value of emacs can shine. And the real point is, if you spend that much time programming then its silly to worry about the initial learning curve. Who cares about that time, it will be paid back infinitely over your career.

But as always, its a useless debate. You can't understand the value of something until you actually use it. That goes for both of us, I'm not just taking a snipe at you.

80% of the power? You're missing the point.

magit, org, dired, killring, ido, mingus, tramp, (can jedit use pyflakes or similar), shell, term, gnus, vcs-mode, etc etc etc.

the only thing i have to leave emacs for is a decent browser. pretty sure jedit couldn't provide me with the same. and i just do python programming. million more modes for different tasks?

what country?
