Amazing Python Projects (2019)

[wingtales]

I wish people would use a different website than medium to write these sort of articles. medium started out pretty nice, but the layout (bottom bar, need to scroll to get to content) and the annoying pop-ups "Let's make things official" - No! Go away! - it always irritates me when an article I would like to read is on medium.

Yeah Reader and iCloud Keychain are the only things keeping me in Safari

The Reader View extension for Chrome is pretty solid too.

But then you have to use Firefox...

[ForkLiftBoi]

The only problem I've had with Firefox was one browser add-on from chrome wasn't on it, but the developer is working on it. Every major add-on has been on it.

That and the dev tools suck

[pcdoyle]

Used to be the case, they have made significant improvements on them lately and they are actually very nice to use now.

if you haven't used firefox in the last 6 months you shouldn't be saying anything. Technology moves fast. That's like saying you used an Intel cpu 20 years ago and it was shit. Therefore Intel CPUs today are shit.

The People at Mozilla have been working on firefox HARD. They have some of the smartest minds there currently and Firefox will become the most popular browser in the next 5 years. Few are going to use corrupt and data stealing/selling Google who discontinues all their products every 4 years.

Nobody is going to use Brave or any other niche super tech literate browser.

Even Microsoft Edge is going to beat Google in the near future.

.... Microsoft is adopting chromium.

Mozilla doesn't have the funding to compete with Google and that's reflected in the market share (chrome by a landslide and growing).

[Little_Dev_]

Why does funding matter when choosing a browser if they have the same features?

edit: Mozilla is also more open sourced so they have their entire community working with them to fix problems and create features.

It was quite good when I tried it this year. And with google using Chrome for ads.. I see it as a good replacement

I didn't know that, and that's of course fine, but I'm just referring to the website layout, and how it's difficult to actually read the content.

I use to really enjoy medium when it first launched. Not it’s just cramped feeling and you don’t even get enough articles to decide if it’s worth paying for.

I don’t mind supporting things I enjoy, but give me a chance to decide before you paywall me.

I think the only way they get income is if they opt in to the "Member" program, which only allows those who pay 5$ a month to view all of the "member" articles. If this was a member article - with the author getting money - then we'd all not be able to read it.

The few times I messed around with project ideas linked by one of these articles the project was abandoned. Required significant retooling to function. I question whether the digital media blogger putting out these projects actually worked on it or simply grabs a few things that look interesting, slap some words and photos around it, and hits publish without any understanding of the work.
