These advocates are paid in proportion to how bad the problem is. They're advocating in this way to ensure their income isn't interrupted by solving the problem they're being paid to fix.

This is pretty great - One feature I really liked from go was channels and the ability for goroutines to communicate with each other. Anyone know there a pep open for a similar idea in the python world?

Did they seriously spoil the ending of breaking bad in the first sentence?

No python support?

I think we're all in agreement that increasing the diversity of viewpoints going into a decision will lead to an overall stronger result.

My Great-aunt didn't make it out of the camps. WW2 isn't a gray area by any honest interpretation.

Hopefully this will soon be added to django core - it's one of the goals as part of Marc Tamlyn's kickstarter to improve postgres support in django.

This was a little harder to find than I expected:

"These findings demonstrate that female facial appearance holds detectable cues to reproductive health that are considered attractive by other people."

Found via http://asutriplehelix.org/node/99 which also cites some other related papers

EDIT: I really, really enjoy finding cases where something I assumed to be true is questioned on the grounds of scientific correctness. It is always a wonderful opportunity to bring my thinking closer to reality, no matter if my assumptions are true or false.

It's no wonder he has such trouble socializing. When you wear self loathing on your sleeve like that, people will respond accordingly. It's wonderful to want to make a better world, but when everything you say, think, or do needs to be excused and caveated you can't help but internalize that.

The ember docs have improved immensely over the past few months - they're currently significantly better than the angular docs.

here's the blog post on it: https://www.firebase.com/blog/2013-10-22-firebase-bindings-f...

I guess I'm in the minority - I really like the class based views for simple crud work. Obviously function based views are a better fit for things that are outside of the simple. but I've had a lot of luck using CBV to simplify crud work.

Interested to try out django vanilla views

A compelling argument for what? I think they have the right to be sexist. I just think it's crazy to try and brand it as something else. Just be honest.

They don't allow men in because they're sexist. There is not some special exemption for some classes of people, there are no pigs that are more equal than others.

They feel the sexism is acceptable given the circumstances. In a world where college enrollment for women is significantly higher than enrollment for men I don't agree, and I think many others don't agree either.

I can't wait for the similar apology from lulu

Love the easter egg - try "haveabreak" or "up up down down left right left right b a"

Because it doesn't - here's a great article examining the scope of the two.

It's great to make the decision to focus on simplicity over scope - that's a good, defensible choice and I don't think anyone here will fault you for it. But an honest understanding of the extra features you gave up to make that choice will go a long way.

This is fantastic news - I'm just finishing up my second Ember app now and I have to say it's pretty amazing how it works. It's a large system with some complex parts, but once you get a handle on what's going on, you can make some truly elegant code. I've been doing javascript/jquery as part of web development for 5 years now, and shifting to ember from raw jquery is as transformative as shifting from cgi scripts to django

This article is flat out wrong about the claims it make on ember-data - an optional dependency. It's trivial to pull data via a standard jquery ajax call and use plain old objects rather than first class models.

Lying about the numbers is never ok - when you ask people to take on risk for you it's inexcusable to be anything but transparent about what exactly they're taking on. The rest of the issues don't really surprise me, but dishonesty is a doozy.

The astute readers wrote you off as soon as you said "menz"

Some questions are simply un-askable in a postmodern intellectual framework. Here's a great primer if you're unfamiliar with it: http://arts.uwaterloo.ca/~kwesthue/regiftedxmas12.html

I'm assuming - and this could be a bad assumption - but based on the continuing updates architecture, if client a changes model a, client b will see an update on model a. How does client b get notified of the change? Does it have some kind of fallback system ala socket.io? Is this not yet part of the project?

This is super cool - What method is used for continued client side updates? Websockets, polling?

In all of the bad news about the system, this makes me feel pretty good

Looks like you forgot to attach the link?

her actions are extremely harmless in the grand-scheme of things, and it's ridiculous and unsettling that her private conversation was used against her like this.

Surely you're not seriously suggesting that this was in any shape or form acceptable behavior by the state.

Doesn't the PS4 support unity?

Because committing a gender and race based hate crime is the highlight of reasonableness and tolerance. But no, no the people pointing out hate crimes are bad - they're the real problems here.
