The migrations project was a re-write, not an integration with South. Common misconception, but the new migrations implementation is actually better than South's.

Yes, in my assessment, and in the assessment of female developers I have spoken with, women are being driven out of the tech community. Why do you think that it is a vocal minority?

I've been using this since [~2010](https://github.com/sethwoodworth/dotfiles/commit/801f4a7163d...). I highly recommend leader as space.

Are you actually asking me why I consider Mike Krahulik despicable? If you are not aware of the issues surrounding him, I am happy to link you to some of the better articles.

If you are aware of the controversy and are baiting me, I am not interested.

I came to make a snarky comment about the job requiring you to be ok with working with Mike Krahulik, who I consider despicable. But their job posting does the job for me:

> We’re terrible at work-life balance. Although work is pretty much your life, we do our absolute best to make sure that work is as awesome as possible so you at least enjoy each and every day here.

*Edit: Originally reversed the author's pen names. Now using real name.

I love vanilla-views. I would like to see the documentation expanded to discuss things that the django docs discuss: decorators for instance.

No offense, but I have the opposite opinion on every point you mentioned.

Well, google glass will catalyze something interesting, but it won't be in the next year, or maybe next 5 years. But I do think that ergonomic wearable technology is a meaningful and reasonable extension of the smart phone revolution.

This is why I think the smart watch (while not great yet) is a good step forward. The ergonomics of taking my fragile and slippery phone out of a pocket to check the time or to check my message count isn't ideal. Putting that notification display on my body is better.

I have a low confidence in Ubuntu accomplishing anything given the quality of the software they have produced. Their NIH sentiments of late (MIR vs Wayland, Unity vs Gnome-shell) are troubling. Historically, Ubuntu has produced relatively little software on their own, building instead on Debian and the rest of the open source community (which is awesome!) but now they are migrating towards a desktop & mobile platform where they build all of the software in-house. Further, they require copyright assignment from contributors who want to work on their software, which has to limit willing contributors.

Etherpad is open source already. As is EtherpadLite (EPL), its node.js rewrite.

I do not believe that Aaron would have agreed with the use of this non-freeculture license.

This is all I needed to know to upgrade.

It's worse than that. The google plus era redesign of all google sites ate up a massive fraction of the vertical space in Google Reader. And some social sharing features that made google reader an awesome place, were disabled in favor of sharing via google plus.

Thank you. I've tried newsblur, but I just hadn't had the impetus to switch until now.

Yes and no. You may take whatever technological steps you want to restrict someone's ability to copy the work. But you can't use copyright via the legal system to stop copying.

I wasn't trying to make a moral argument, I was pointing out the current state of US and UK law, as it wasn't mentioned in the original article.

But lets discuss the moral implications. On what moral foundation do you base your statement? What example cases would your supposition provide the greater societal good?

What you are referring to is known as 'sweat of brow' copyright. The US rejected this doctrine in the supreme court case Feist v. Rural Telephone Ser­vice. The UK also rejects this doctrine under the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988.

So no, these scans are not the rightful property of whoever took the trouble to scan them.

Examples? The only things I have to compile are python packages with c-extensions and the occasional small daemon like xcape.

This was precisely what I was looking for before I upgraded to 3.6, thank you. I'm worried about switching to 3.6 now, I've invested a lot of time and energy making gnome-shell_3.4 usable for me. This sounds like it breaks a lot.

Aaron has had a very expensive federal court battle. It may be that he still had leftover money from the sale of reddit, but Lessig's blog on the subject suggested financial troubles. Lets remain silent on this topic at the moment, unless this turns out not to be the case.

That doesn't work for me on Fedora 17 or Ubuntu 12.04

It's a major revision number change, that's the only time to do such a major api change.

I'm part of the p.irateship hackerspace, and we're just down the street from Lorem Ipsum on Somerville Ave. I would like to talk about a few different possibilities with you. My email is seth at sethish.com

Can someone explain to me why I would build an application in GTK(+) verses html? Given the availability of webkit bindings available for most languages, why wouldn't I call a webkit html rendering area and create my application in there? Is it to take advantage of system-wide styling?

Released under the Apache license 2.0 [1]. I checked because sometimes MS releases code that can only be run on Windows/Azure and calls it Open Source but doesn't meet the OSI definition.

Three friends and I have each did this, about a year ago:

I read this as "Non-fiction API" and got really excited. Alas, I guess I'll just have to keep working on that one. https://gitenberg.github.com

I just tried it out, and while it's not a bad font, I find it to be less scannable than Ubuntu Mono at similar font sizes.

Really? Because I couldn't get the Ubuntu package or the one from pip to work. And the last article on HN that mentioned it has the author having to install it from a bundle on the pygame site, which is also what I ended up doing before moving on.

I love seeing vim configs as much as the next guy, but pulling someone else's entire config like this is like wearing a custom suit tailored for someone else.

I opened a feature request issue on their github about it. https://github.com/antijingoist/open-dyslexic/issues/6
