It can look bad to have high test scores and poor grades because it implies you were a lazy student. It's not a sentiment that I agree with but our guidance counselors basically pu…

I cant imagine how uncomfortable it would be to nap at someone's feet or have someone else napping at my feet while I'm trying to work. If it were a dog bed though that would be ni…

I seem to be getting a 503, is there a mirror anywhere?

Agreed. OP should have seen this coming from a mile away but instead he got tricked into doing a weekend of freelance work.

Ahh. Found the realist in this thread. Leviathan isn't really taken too seriously these days in political philosophy although its taught extensively because its a great introductio…

The Gay Science is another great Nietzsche book. Pick up The Birth of Tragedy if you get a chance though, Nietzche's early views on history and science are also worth reading and c…

Whoops, thanks. My phone doesn't like that word apparently

Great tutorial, I would love to see this rewritten with the new async / await syntax in python 3.5

This type of article seems to be a right of passage from basic to upper-level/intermediate understanding of Python. Where it really gets crazy is if you are making decorators that …

Potentially, but the people with the ability to understand the code that is being generated will always have more value than the people who don't. WISYWIG editors are useful and qu…

I've long said that an ethics class should be a required "related course" (or at least be encouraged) for various Engineering and Business majors, not because it teaches you how to…

There are excellent libraries for data analysis, I know some people who use it in finance. It's still widely used for web applications. There are new features for asynchronous prog…

Ancient, you mean like C, C++, Java, Javascript, those languages?

I think the general opinion is "use where appropriate but be consistent" which I tend to agree with. There are times where the simplicity of old-style formatting just gets the job …

If you don't like it then don't participate. Some of these projects might be interesting. Unlike you apparently I actually like programming and do have an interest in taking part.

I have a feeling many of these buildings will just give up on the tax break and stop offering units to low income tenants.

I don't seem to be able to submit my answer or follow the link to see the answer for "just tell me the answer" is this supposed to be a trick or is my browser just not capable of p…

It would appear they haven't yet evolved to deal with being hit by cars quite as gracefully.

I don't think anyone would notice or you would get shadow banned before it got to this. If they did it would become a meme for a day or two. There are entire subs that are (likely)…

Why is it that programmers invariably state their opinions as if they were facts.

Possibly you also ran into the Q/A problem because there are many more people who use Django and common issues/gotchas that people encounter have mostly been explored and documente…

I was being a bit sarcastic, its just that sometimes I read these highly critical blog posts about "we made X decision with Y product and it sucks" where really the person who was …

But you should always move fast and break things, don't look before you leap. It's the startup mentality and it's the way real scrappy entrepreneurs do things.
