The template system rocks if you like handcuffs on your templates - and for some projects that may be the case. Otherwise it's crippled in comparison to Jinja or Mako - with large …

Good point raised in one of the comments: why not have a giant wind platform out at sea to generate the hydrogen, and have tankers come and offload/replace the hydrogen tanks on a …

I think the point being made is that it has an API similar to the Django ORM, not that it is an ORM.

Link to petition ?

I'm not sure about the causes, but it seems in the UK for example that social mobility has decreased in the past few decades compared to the 1960s. A big part of that has been the …

Absolutely agree with you on most of the points. A couple of quibbles - Django now supports multiple databases (as of 1.2) and South ( http://south.aeracode.org/ ) is more or less …

Who said anything about whining ? It is your duty as a professional to promote what you consider the best tool for the job. A spade isn't much good if your job is to rake some leav…

There's still no reason to limit post size because Twitter does - title and shortened URL to the original post works fine.

It's a great idea in theory, the problem is that corporate designs go through ten different committees each wanting something different, so you end up with an unusable mess.

Very nicely done. I take it this is running on Google App Engine ? (Just a guess, based on the Google Account signup). No need to market it as just for rural locations. In the UK w…

Django != Python and Rails != Ruby. There are other solutions in either language that might suit your project better.

Language is a big factor: English is the first foreign language taught in European schools (and the mother language of most UK and Irish citizens); Americans are traditionally poor…

True, but as a marketable name bluebream leaves a lot to be desired...it doesn't roll off the tongue very well. And what was with the weird YouTube video with the wedding song ? A …

At the end of the day you succeed (in the larger world, not the Silicon Valley echo chamber) by having a great (or even good enough) product that hits the market at the right time,…

Maybe because Luke was so powerful in the Force and Leia wasn't ?

Django forms (and their non-Django counterpart, WTForms) are very easy to use, with a declarative syntax. The advantage is that validation is decoupled from models. Often you need …

If you are using MVC maybe. ASP.NET WebForms and postback add tons of crap to the HTML.

what other technologies are you using apart from MongoDB ?

To an American, perhaps. Ask someone from China the same question.

Updated my Advent laptop from Jaunty a week ago, no significant issues. Can't say it's massively better than Jaunty in terms of features or performance though.

Probably from some idiot MBA. Now there's a commodity.

I get the impression Pylons tries to be the "anti-Django" inverting the NIH attitude of Django and trying to be all things to all developers. The end result however is a huge numbe…

That's the problem - when Rails bloggers come across as over-hormonal 15 year olds (as this blogger does) it casts doubt on the maturity of the community as a whole. Why not try du…
