Sounds very reminiscent of The Wake by Paul Kingsnorth[0]. Will check it out, thanks! [0] http://paulkingsnorth.net/books/the-wake/

Genuinely would like to know how anyone has managed to do both of: > write as many end-to-end and integration tests as you can and > make sure your tests run fast enough to run the…

Even better when they both leave and you inherit responsibility for the project!

Thanks, prawn, I believe I've reproduced the issue and we're looking into it.

Thanks for the feedback, gealian! I've let our data team know about the problem.

I'm a developer at Infoxchange, and we're actually looking for a senior dev to join our Melbourne team. Development of the Ask Izzy app was a collaboration between our team here an…

...and off-by-one errors.

Thanks for the feedback, definitely not intentional :) A lot of effort and consultation with a number of groups (including end users) went into choosing the name. Turns out, naming…

Great stuff! You're right about the data quality, it's a huge job and we have a fantastic team of people who work to keep the data up to date. Another big challenge is trying to pr…

Just to expand on that a bit, the data is currently limited to our in-house database of services in Australia. We are looking into including additional (Australian) data sources in…

No plans to expand outside of Australia that I'm aware of. Another commenter mentioned ( https://news.ycombinator.com/reply?id=11029770 ) a similar product for the SF area: http://…

Hey jacalata, thanks for pointing this out. I've reproduced the issue as best I can, and AFAICT you should see a link on that page which says "Change you answers". Clicking it shou…

It's worth noting that much of what Irvine lays out in this book is closer to Epicureanism than Stoicism, per say. For a better treatment of Stoicism, I'd recommend The Inner Citad…

If you want to understand Meditations and Marcus Aurelius, you should read The Inner Citadel by Pierre Hadot. For instance, there are good reasons for his writing in Greek, for the…

Thirded. Ever since Google Reader shut down, I've stopped using RSS. I much prefer to get newsletters in my inbox now.

Tests generated by GUI systems are extremely fragile and you wouldn't them hanging around your codebase. OTOH, often a video recording is a great way to demonstrate a bug without h…

FYI: I got a 403 error when I tried to sign up (CSRF verification failed). You should probably override the default template for that error page, too. Nice to see you're using Djan…

I'd love to know a little more about what you were doing and where in Australia.

In my experience, fat models are the most common approach to organising code in Django projects. As another comment stated, it's better than having fat views, but it's not ideal.

Which, if you're following the SRP, is the right thing to do, no?

This is a really interesting point. It does seem like a lot of OOP/patterns books seem to talk about desktop apps that are quite different to your typical web app, which could be c…

> the government doesn't like to get the public riled up by terrorist threats I'm quite sure that's exactly what the government likes to do. That's the very reason that "terrorism"…

I don't know what your email said, but mine said it was $9 if you sign up this month, otherwise $50.

There's definitely a learning curve, but CBVs will give you much DRYer views. Being able to use mixins is a godsend.
