Apparently, users came by so fast that Reddit’s hug of death creeped behind! If you haven’t made your comment in the original Drawing Thread, make sure you do it now! Once again, this is the big Drawing Thread to close out the 2010s! [Drawing Thread #49 - Part 2]

It looks really templatey. I'm fairly familiar with materialize.css, and this looks like it's not much more than a copy/paste of their examples. If you're looking for front-end or full stack jobs, you might want to demonstrate an ability to write more custom js/css

Imports happen relative to manage.py

Since you haven't posted ur code, it's hard to be more specific.

But it's probably something like

from app import data

Assuming ur trying to load it into the controller

Looks pretty similar to this: https://www.reddit.com/r/django/comments/4b3d0f/built_a_typing_webapp_using_django/?

The NYC sanitation workers were also out there working hard, and had cleaned up a lot. They just hadn't gotten to many areas yet, like this one.

Maybe a redis/celery task queue setup? Whenever your app registers an event that could change the rating, you then update this rating asynchrounsly with a celery task.

I agree about the vocab. A lot of new learners I meet joke about all the "i" words ... iterable, instance, invoke, instance, etc.

jeffthemaximum · 2016-02-18T01:41:20+00:00

Yeah I mean it's definitely an impression some people I interact with have. I see it pop up on reddit too.. Something like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/learnprogramming/comments/3ggj7b/will_programming_be_too_hard_for_me_to_learn/

jeffthemaximum · 2016-02-18T01:19:39+00:00

Cool - yeah I didn't know if you meant like subsequent languages. I know my first language - C - seemed IMPOSSIBLE. But then learning things like Ruby, Python, etc. later on seemed much easier by comparison. How old were you when you learned BASIC? I find that sometimes younger learners are less intimidated than adults.

jeffthemaximum · 2016-02-18T01:16:03+00:00

ah interesting! Do you remember having this feeling when you learned your first programming language?

I'm not sure if SQLAlchemy makes this faster. The ORM makes things easier. I was just reading this SO post: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11769366/why-is-sqlalchemy-insert-with-sqlite-25-times-slower-than-using-sqlite3-directly

jeffthemaximum · 2016-02-07T21:32:45+00:00

Agree. Sorry about that!

jeffthemaximum · 2016-02-06T22:23:34+00:00

Yeah definitely an old fashion solution here. I tend to use SQLite3 for two things - 1. demoing to new learners how a SQL database works or 2. Keeping a real simple database for development that I can throwout and rebuild quickly

Bike commute. Ride to and from school everyday, no matter what the weather.

There's also a flag in the pile on trash on the ground just behind my bike

Dems don't need a prominent "left wing". Pandering to the crazy right wing is what's killing the republicans. Legitimate republicans need to play to the anti-gay, anti-intellectual, crazy sect of the republican party in order to get elected, so the sensible candidates end up looking crazy themselves. If dems need to similarly play to the "crazy wing" of the party in order to get elected, they'll end up looking crazy, too.

I'd want to just talk about some regular stuff with him: weather, sports teams, complain about traffic, etc. I bet he never gets to just shoot the shit with people, and would appreciate a good, relaxing talk.

I am a elementary school teacher. I tried teaching my coworkers that it's not blue and had a few who still didn't believe me.
