@52cal Yes thats the right way to go.
What I'd have done is tell her that I'm in the middle of something and that I'll drop by when I'm done.

That's also a good excuse to get up and walk around.

CS should be about making you an SE. There is no other practical purpose of it.
It's like Med school saying that we're not making doctors here, we're only teaching the science of phsyiology.

The best teacher in college i had was in engineering mechanics.
If only he had been teaching programming. Sigh.

@aquacash5 I don't think so. Python feels like it's halfway between C and Ruby

@iam13islucky Interesting. Thanks.

@turturtles Preferences are fine. No arguement against that.

But why are web articles touting mechanical as superior?

Also why the resurgence now? Why not 5 years ago? What has changed?

@Ezard My Logitech NewTouch 100 is probably a membrane keyboard and has lasted 8 years and still going. But for most people a few years are enough. And membranes provide that.

Again, this keyboard isn't flat so it has the travel distance gamers may need. I've been using it to play dota for 8 yrars now.

@JoshBent Thanks for taking the time to investigate and reply, harsh though it may be.

The Rs 25k product, called Lighthouse isn't meant for devs but for small businesses. So that they can get their own website and update it themselves using an app. No coding required. We have 200k customers like that. But yes we do have the problem of unprofessional sales people and not unsatisfactory customer support. We're working on fixing that.

I am not in marketing. I built the product. And I wanted to get feedback from good developers.

@JoshBent Do you know of any such framework already available?

We have also taken care of the db creation, and get, set for you.
You just specify your data structure, we create that. Then you can get data just like variables in a program. E.g with [[Business.name]].

So a front end dev doesn't have to do anything back end. Not even deployment.

It also allows you to repeat divs right inside the html based on how long the array returned is. No javascript needed.

@JoshBent Yes. Not variables but the values of the variables.

@JoshBent The templating engines i know make API calls from the front end to the backend using javascript. Google ignores javascript while crawling.

If you know of any templating engines that do data injection server side, using code written in HTML files, the way we do, please do let me know.

We built a language that can be used to insert data into a webpage from the server side. This is so that Google would not miss out on crawling dynamic content. @JoshBent

If the external hard disk was the only copy of your pics than I wouldn't call it a back up. Just storage.

@ThatDude Yeah. Me too. And I'm having a lot of fun!

@ThatDude True. And that's a big reason not to go Linux only on a home computer.
But I was talking about work computers.

It's open source. So you're still in line with linux philosophy :)

@Faraaz sorry. I meant SaaS.

@jayeshdhamechai Sure. But you are talking of why moving an app to the cloud makes sense.
I'm saying that given that a lot of important apps have moved, the OS is less important now. And since browsers are the same on each OS, is much easier for laymen to move to Linux now

@PrivateGER How many of those do you play regularly?

True.

But for downloaded movies, i usually delete after i watch them. Except the epic ones, of course. So drive doesn't get full.@demiko

Ever heard of Popcorn Time, @KyrePh?

Atom is open source. If it's really a bug, try fixing it. Should be fun.

That's coz between 1 and 15 there is a noticeable difference. After that, not so much. @Krokoklemme

@Linux Care to elaborate what is surprising you?

Love the penguin.

Yes. They do. But not exclusively. I know because I worked for msft.

IE became crappy when msft stopped investing in it after the browser wars.

Bing has a lot of catching up to do - hard because Google keeps getting more data to learn from.

@DataJockey The wife thing is true for most guys, not just devs.

Your welcome @oscarascal

No. I'm just saying that excess of anything is bad. @greenrobo

Ever heard of reducto ad absurdum? @greenrobo
