I honestly don't mean it as any kind of personal slight or insult. My apologies that I came across that way. (I'm tempted to edit the OP, but won't for clarity purposes.) For what …

Yeah, that'd be fine - if they worked for all people .

The lack of even a nod to diversity issues (race, gender, class, etc.) that the tech industry is dealing (or not dealing with) is tone deaf and insulting to the extreme.

I'll consider myself lucky if I get to work on a project that only creates 49 regressions in 4+ years (which appears to be how far this changelog currently goes back).

I have, and I'd even be up for using it on a production project. I'd go so far to say I like it even. But the fact stands that the current project I'm working on has a Gruntfile th…

Yeah, but it's also trivially easy to wrap a 3rd party task in your own task and munge the config at run time. (I'll admit that that pattern didn't become apparent to me until afte…

I practically live and die by the 5 Minute Rule, and as a counterpoint, I've always found Grunt intuitive, if verbose. In particular, I love that its files API is so flexible. I fr…

"One of the reasons I wrote that post a year ago was that I had to own up to the fact that we looked better than we actually were." How very un-Internet-y of you. :)

I think you underestimate the extent to which SXSW has gone mainstream. There are likely a lot of conservatives who deplore Snowden's actions participating in SXSW.

Totally agree with the "might me good for maintenance mode" sentiment. I'm working on a pre-1.0 project. I'm thinking about the few commits where I was first implementing localStor…

This is most definitely not git flow. Git flow advocates explicit merges pretty much everywhere with no fast-forwards and definitely no rebasing.

No, it actually does both - which is why I was so interested in it initially. from the above link: "generates code to be used to easily build RPC clients and servers" TBF, I haven'…

FWIW, this is also the way O'Reilly's JS Pocket Reference explains it.

Do you know of any tutorials that follow this "deep dive first" approach? That's exactly how I like to learn.

Yep, me too - it's a known issue. https://github.com/Kodowa/Light-Table-Playground/issues/448

The same is true in Python - in single inheritance cases. (The rules for Python's method resolution order are more complex where multiple inheritance are involved[1].) 1. http://py…

Huh. Shocked that the install numbers for vim-nox are so low. That's always been my goto package.

I've looked at Peewee (albeit before the rewrite mentioned here), and, more to the point, my first response was "why didn't he write this in SQLAlchemy." SQLAlchemy is a battle har…

A little off topic, but forms are a big PITA using Flask and extensions, too. Forms are definitely not a solved problem in the python world.
