That sometimes, there's nothing to learn, only the obligation to make either bad choice 1 or bad choice 2. Both will bring regrets and negative consequences of their own for a long time, if you're lucky, longer if you're not.

There's no pricing available for the enterprise edition, does someone know (roughly) how much we are talking about? Thanks!

There was an interesting podcast episode with Nuitka creator, Kay Hayden, a month ago on TalkPythonToMe : https://talkpython.fm/episodes/download/172/nuitka-a-full-py...

Kay Hayden does not bother to appear nice, and has some strong opinions on things, I liked it a lot

The author won't integrate this for portabilities reasons : https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/issues/45 "This is not possible to do in a cross-platform manner, as it depends on the details of the desktop environment/window manager. Really this function should be implemented in the window manager, so it can be performed with any window."

There are a few pointers for Linux solutions in the issue.

My father uses it since he got stomach cancer: - while in chimiotherapy, it reduced the nausea and pain by a great deal - for the past 10 years, he has used it to reduce stomach spams and nausea caused by removing the cancer tissues In a few minutes, he goes from being white-sick, sweating, vomiting, trembling to being almost normal, it's quite magical actually!

You should read some modern psychology book because this reasoning is false, especially for an infant. In French there's an amazing book by Catherine Gueguen, "pour une enfance heureuse" (For a happy childhood), it builds on the latest researches to offer guidelines. Its scientific take helped me overcome such unfounded traditional thinking as the one expressed. Sadly, I couldn' t find it in English, but there will be others.

Just received another email:

Dear users of central.owncloudorg,

after the official ownCloud forum central.owncloud.org was target of a hacking attack we were able to resolve this incident. The intruder contacted us and we managed to establish a cooperative contact to him in which we were assured that his only challenge was getting the data, not using it in any way. After reviewing his statements and setting up an agreement we can assure you that no harm was nor will be done.

For the full story please see our blog post: https://owncloud.org/news/owncloud-forum-hack-why-password-s... Also feel free to use our social media channels to stay updated.

We are very sorry about the trouble and apologize for any inconvenience. Luckily, no real damage occured. This will be the last email we’re sending to you about this topic

All the best Florian and the rest of the ownCloud team

In Feedly the source feed is always displayed, I thought it was the same in others feed readers as it seems a basic info.

I understand the duplicate issue for those following both DiscoverDev and the discrete websites, I wouldn't mind as it is intentional but that's just me.

I'll make the extra clicks !

Thanks again

(edit: spelling)

Hi,

Thanks for your ongoing work! Would it be possible for you to create a duplicate rss feed where the articles are the root and not hidden in the description ? It would help keeping up with the pace by speeding up the scanning process (I only check for my feeds once a week or so, I have tons of links to go through). I realize this would hide the 'daily' aspect of your effort, and I would totally understand if you declined. Thanks again!

Another stack exchange site could be dedicated to this type of questions, let's call it InfiniteLoop. Moderator would move questions from others sites there instead of closing it, and no answer could be accepted. It may be enough to both maintain SO quality/focus and please those who like open ended questions ?

By the way, I happen to like these open ended questions because they complete dispassionate theory by being opiniated. Maybe it just me, but I think both are needed for a broad understanding of any subject.

Before rewiewing anyone I speak with them so we have an understanding on what kind of review they want : - tone (harsh, civil, encouraging, etc) - pedantic level (grammar nazi, normal) - incremental (fix this first then we'll see what's next) or all at once (fix this and this and this) - technical area they currently want to improve - common mistake they make I should be watching out

And I also tell them what I want when they are reviewing me.

I aim for my feedbacks to be effective, so I don't want the reviewee to lose time because he/she feels hurt or my language wasn't tailored for them

It's also extremely well written, and a great introduction to how computers work in the inside that can be understood by non technical readers. It's also the only book which succeeded in expressing both the rollercoaster I feel when programming.

If you have little experience with backend development, Django may help you by forcing you to code into a predictable and sensible structure; Flask won't limit you in any way, which is great but It's easier to shoot yourself in the foot and its harder to keep a consistent codebase.

If you're familiar with SQL, it may take some time to adapt to the Django ORM, which is really great but favors ease of use over power.

All in all, with Django you'll fight to override defaults and with Flask to enforce them. I loved both enemies

Thanks but it does not work in the dead tree edition?

What about learning to code yourself some bit ? You could follow beginner tutorials for the 3-4 most used languages, just enough to be able to do a simple fizzbuzz program, you would get the feel of each quickly. Granted it would take you a few days, but you could then relate to programmers explaining their choice because of ease of development, performance, compiler errors, etc

If you're the one fixing all computers in your family, you also know how a system administrator feels and what he/her dreams of: automation, removing user privileges as much as possible, tools for automation, tools to reproduce an issue without access to the computer and its user, etc.

For each major language, Google for "why use X".

Ask your developer collegues what's their favorite language and the one they hate the most, nobody will tell you the same reasons. Ask about language choice according to the context/task at hand. You'll have most fun if you can ask this when you have multiple developers around, you're in for a nice informative flamewar.

I keep it in check now, but it has taken years. What was instrumental: - discovering something I really love to do, programming - realizing what my procrastination always happens when I don't understand what is expected of me

Taking these into account, I set up some nets: - started a therapy to work on the why - before starting a task, I try to identify all unknowns before running into them. If it comes from me and is not discovered while trying to accomplish the task, it's easier to overcome, and often not an issue at all - I work in programming, so I have a very high incentive to do all chores quickly so that I can go back doing something I love (not always effective!) - my coworkers/family know me and often check with me my progress on whatever I need to do for them - I know how I procrastinate and try to justify it to myself, so when I catch myself doing it I start identifying explicitly what I am avoiding and what would unlock me, even if I can't stop procrastinating on the spot. When I regain control of myself later, I know what to do and its easier. - I ask help when I am stuck for more than one week, and people has always helped me, for instance by doing the one bit I can't. Just speaking is rarely enough at that point - I try to sleep at least 6 hours a night, I love so much having energy and a working brain - I emphasis the positive consequences of my actions - I choose to procrastinate when I am too tired, I won't be able to do something of quality anyways, so I can enjoy these moments almost guilt free

So in short, reflect on what is triggering your procrastination, and create various safety nets to catch yourself. If you have a problem solving mindset, it's quite fun to "solve" yourself. Try also to discover some solid ground within yourself, so you can use it. For instance, I can't stand boredom and if I procrastinate for too long, I get so much bored I am willing to do anything to stop feeling it, even doing what I was supposed to do.

Having lost my child six years ago, I am stricken by the similarities in the ways of grieving, the feelings expressed, the unbearable absence, the disappearing friends... If the past matches, maybe the future will too, and you can hope for the return of laughing, even day-long happiness and peace of mind. One year ago, that wouldn't have been possible.

Many things will still bring you down, a tactless word by an unknowing personn, a movie where suffering is used as a plot twist to make it more real by some damned scenarist who doesn't know what he/she is speaking about, the rage when friends/familly keep forgeting your suffering...

What helped me and may help you: - knowing there can be light at the end of tunnel. Grieving can be kept in check, even if you cannot right now.

- sleeping is vital, everything is uglier when exhausted.

- not expecting non-grieving people to sympathize with you for a long time, even for short period, even in your family. There're very rare exceptions, but try to avoid fighting for sustained awareness, that's a lost bitter battle. Aim for "one shot compassion".

- linking with people who are grieving for the same reasons as you, through forums, non profit, etc. They will understand you and for once you won't need to retreint yourself. Having a free speech place is instrumental !

I am sorry for your loss. I truly am

The problem with Spotify is that you do not control what it thinks you should listen to. While working I listen "bland" English electronic music but I enjoy lyrics focused French songs while commuting. Spotify recommendation system is completely lost by this and I have no way to teach it what suits me for these two very different styles and moments. I am going to try 8tracks this very Monday!

The CodingHorror blog have been quite vocal on the tour too : http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2012/06/the-php-singularity...

I believed too that if you don't give the personn/thing you're being reliant, it meant "trustworthy", maybe it is a French-induced error ?
