daGrevis··on Show HN: Rails-Inspired PHP Framework
Why does PHP framework has 88% of JavaScript in it?
daGrevis··on Django vs Drupal
Who would even consider to compare them... CMS with framework.
daGrevis··on Show HN: Subvim – Vim customized to be like SublimeText
Multiple-cursors are just a syntactic sugar for macros.

daGrevis··on Ask HN: What are some good laptops for Linux right now?
Dell Inspiron 15R SE comes with pre-installed Ubuntu and works fine! :)
daGrevis··on Show HN: Forbidden Fruit – Patch built-in Python objects
Look good! I would like to see more examples of how to use it in tests tho!
daGrevis··on Only external comments (on HN) allowed?
I don't get why HN isn't open source so that everyone could improve it.
daGrevis··on Show HN: Brastrap - A Chrome extension that mucks up Twitter Bootstrap-py sites
It's better they look all the same and beautiful than original, unique and mostly ugly.
daGrevis··on Keen IO releases API for /dev/null
April fools!
daGrevis··on Remapping Caps Lock on OS X Mountain Lion
This is the thing I was afraid of about OS X. I'm using Arch Linux and I'm in love with Linux per se. I would love to buy Apple computers because of all the great things they offer (I saw it as Linux with complex things somewhere hidden, plus, Windows-like support for apps and games) and I would allow myself to do it because OS X is Unix based and it has decent terminal. This article somehow destroyed my hopes — it's too much to remap a key.
daGrevis··on Simple Minecraft Clone in 580 lines of Python
If anyone are having problems starting this:

* You need Python2 virtualenv,

* You need to install `pyglet` in it,

* Start it with `bin/python main.py`;

daGrevis··on Life After PHP
It seemed like I was reading the story about myself. I started to code very early too! It was PHP and MySQL. First — no frameworks and libraries. Then — CI (later Kohana, Fuel etc.). Then I was bored and I started to learn Python. Time went by and I were a Django developer. So here we are. :)

P.S. Python is totally ready for web development. Django was released in 2005 and it's stable. There are other frameworks too. YouTube and, of what I'm heard, half of Google is using it (maybe they are rewriting some things to Go now). Ton of popular sites uses Python and Django too! When it comes to deployment, I stick to Nginx that serves static or sends request to gunicorn. It's stable and fast. :)

Wow! This is so cool!

This proves Python's ability to be RAD.

daGrevis··on The language of Vim
I am a Vim user too! Because of my curiosity, I tried Emacs and I was amazed how easy it is for beginners! There are very simple quick-start guide that don't force to use all the great features just yet. And all things that can be confusing for beginners are turned off by default. We can learn something. :)

Also, I like to think that Vim is not an editor. It's a language or, you may even say, a concept of editing text.

daGrevis··on Overloading Django Form Fields
He-he. Exactly the same I did when I encountered this problem. :)
daGrevis··on Try Haskell: An interactive tutorial in your browser
I have read some tutorials about Haskell (to be completely honest, 60% of "Learn haskell for great good" twice). Still, I need to stop and think for few seconds to write something in it.
daGrevis··on We are currently taking a DDoS attack and are working to mitigate
Everyone on HN opening GitHub to read the message will surely help! :)
daGrevis··on Just Use Sublime Text
> For the first 1-2 years of your Vim usage you will be much less efficient than your current editor.

I stopped to read right there. I was equally productive after two weeks and more productive after a month.

daGrevis··on An apology to open source
This is so disappointing. I planned to use it for my project and I really liked...

I don't see how.
daGrevis··on Here are a few of the things I've built
Some of the comments are gray. How did other people made that happen because I don't see downvoting for comments neither?
daGrevis··on Fixing Database Connections in Django
What are the odds. Friday my task was to implement this for our project that uses Django. I learned it all the hard way, even the South trick. The only difference was that we are using MySQL and _django-mysqlpool_.

If almost all solution are using SQLAlchemy components and SQLAlchemy is NOT DBMS-specific, it should be possible to create one package that works for SQLite3, MySQL and Postgres at the same time. In theory, of course. :)

daGrevis··on Unix tricks
Only one Vim tip? I'm disappointed.

daGrevis··on A brief XML rant
Probably they used regexes to parse it. :)

I couldn't agree more.
