I love the idea.


probably they were waiting for students to start coding to announce this


I love this one from same author:

"On the day they were going to kill him, Santiago Nasar got up at five-thirty in the morning to wait for the boat the bishop was coming on. He'd dreamed he was going through a grove of timber trees where a gentle drizzle was falling, and for an instant he was happy in his dream, but when he awoke he felt completely spattered with bird shit."


Cronica de una muerte anunciada! What a wonderfull book too.


the rails team is waiting for a patch to do it


With support for databases not supporting enums.


it's pretty hard to do something better with the current status of Rack


I guess host it in AWS is a benefit for the integration with other services hosted in Amazon like TravisCI (the most popular CI for open-source Ruby projects) and Heroku (the most popular hosting for Ruby projects)


Talk is cheap, show me the code ;)


you can not expect to have women as core committers immediately, first step is get more women involved in community and OSS.

I don't think the work that Python/Django people are doing to get more women involved in the community can be easily ignored.


In 8 years they have got 1 woman involved in a core capacity to their community. I'm not asking for immediate results, I'm just asking for them to lead by example and to stop criticizing people who are doing a much better job at being inclusive than they are. They have a 3% rate, YC has a 15% rate of women.


what about the software that he creates? will you stop considering using Django in future projects?


You don't have idea about what is a "witch hunt" and using that metaphor to describe some tweets is very insensitive and softens the absolute horror of people killed in real witch hunting.

Do you know that witch hunt still being a thing in some countries of the world?: http://www.eltiempo.com/colombia/medellin/ARTICULO-WEB-NEW_N... (title translated: Woman accused of being a witch in a town in Antioquia was burned)

This is a witch hunt: a woman was accused of being witch and _burned alive_, do you think that is even comparable with the tweets of Jacob Kaplan Moss?


I cannot tell if you are being serious or sarcastic, but in either case, and with all due respect^, fuck off with this bullshit.

Arthur Miller wrote The Crucible, a play about a literal witch hunt, as an allegory for McCarthyism. Do you think that he thought that blacklisting actors was literally as bad as crushing somebody to death with stones over several days?

Of course he didn't. It was fucking allegorical. Do you really not understand the basic premise of a metaphor? I think you do. I think you are trolling.

^ little is due.


> you don't have idea about what is a "witch hunt"

witch hunt (n): the act of unfairly looking for and punishing people who are accused of having opinions that are believed to be dangerous or evil

Sounds like proper usage of the word to me.


> using that metaphor to describe some tweets is very insensitive and softens the absolute horror of people killed in real witch hunting

I'll start using this metaphor from now on, just to annoy PC-nazis like you.


I'm offended when people say that enduring something was "hell". It is disrespectful towards people who are burning in Hell.
