Re:Removing Python 2.x support from Django for version 2.0 on Thursday January 19, 2017 @05:45AM (#13434721)
Nope, Python 3 is a sane upgrade to a sane language bringing many enhancements to the consistency and reliability of Python. And it is being used in many production systems already.
What does free software vs. proprietary software have to do with this? Low quality comment.
I absolutely died! It was so funny.
I saw a guy with the ISIS flag making a speech... I'm probably on some list now.

Have you taken a look at elementaryOS?

This is more holy war material than anything really. Emacs is just an editor.
Re:The Monaco Code Editor on Monday June 20, 2016 @08:55PM (#11942784)
I've been an avid Sublime user for many years and still am, and this is what puts me off any electron based editor or app in general. The requirements for the most trivial things are so high, it is insane. Try running Atom on a AMD E1 laptop. TLDR, not very nice.

Same. I didn't understand a single word in there, because there is nothing to look at there.
Purism and Apple

This is scary.

They are not that bad, I have an APU laptop and they work flawlessly so far. However, owning an Nvidia rig, the nvidia drivers are much much better.
Re:Python 2.7 Retirement Countdown on Sunday May 29, 2016 @02:56PM (#11797686)
This was a major release. 2 to 3.
Re:Python 2.7 Retirement Countdown on Saturday May 28, 2016 @08:16PM (#11794190)
It's called "moving forward". The technology sector moves fast, and you need to keep up. Nothing is ever going to get better with that sedentary mindset.
Re:Python 2.7 Retirement Countdown on Saturday May 28, 2016 @08:08PM (#11794158)
Man, the amount of people and support going for Python 2.7 is mind boggling. Coming from another language, I find the slow adoption of Python 3 insane. Don't you want Python as a language to advance?

Python should've abandoned and deprecated 2 ages ago. I still see new tutorials teaching 2. What the hell.

Really hoping that was sarcasm.
There was this project called emoji.js I think that you embed in your site and transforms all emoji it sees into Apple Emoji, the standard, and works for everyone even without emoji installed. give it a shot.
Vulnerabilities.
Really hoping that was sarcasm...
Not necessarily. It just shows people are willing to experiment with JSON, even though it might end up badly.

I'd quit the same day if I had to work in that office.

Exaggeration aside, how do you guys get anything done?

This exact concept has been done multiple times. And it never worked, because the syntax was horrible. And it's just not convenient at all, it's good for toying around with interpreters and the likes but it has no purpose or use. See https://m.reddit.com/r/coding/comments/3akmn1/sums_this_rel_...
Besides, there's the convenience and ease of use aspect. Most of these federated services are not easy to use for the average newcomer or tech-illiterate user demographic, for example. And sometimes they're inconvenient.

Excuse my misbehavior, I became angry.

Haha keep trying.

This sounds more like a troll than a tin-foil hat conspiracist. Ignore it.
I find OS X to look ages better than iOS. Their colors are softer and the design has far more detail.
